Project: Numarine 60 Flybridge

During Dusseldorf boat show Numarine announced a project for a new entry level 60 Flybridge model project which should be launched later on this year. Some sales of this new model have also been made on plan during the same boat show. The 60 Flybridge is designed as the recent new models which come from the Turkish builder by Can Yalman currently the in-house designer at Numarine. Umberto Tagliavini did the work for the naval architecture, while Gurit is responsible for the engineering.  The Numarine 60 will feature a beam just over five meters, and is to be powered by Volvo IPS pods, with estimated design top speeds up to 35 knots.

New Model: Riviera 77 Enclosed Flybridge

The excitement is certainly building heading into 2015 as Riviera caps off a year of significant milestones, including the announcement and subsequent launch of a  new 77 Enclosed Flybridge flagship.  Set for her world premiere at the Dubai International Boast Show in March 2015, the 77 Enclosed Flybridge was launched at the home of Riviera at Coomera on Australia’s Gold Coast in December, a ceremony personally attended by her very impressed Middle East-based owners. The 77 Enclosed Flybridge is a further improvement and development of the current Riviera flagship the 75, which in itself was also an extension of the 70.  Apart length the main visual difference of the 77 will be its long view windows which serve all the lower deck, and sleeping quarters within. Riviera is offering three lower deck layouts for the 77 with four or five cabin options, and eight or ten berths accommodation.  In all the layouts nothing changes much for the owners stateroom at midships, while the VIP suite to fore gets replaced by two sets of twin bunks to fore.  Power is Cats or Man 1800hp engines which give max speeds of 30 knots.

Project: Sanlorenzo SL86

Sanlorenzo starts an important new course and with this extend the collaboration with renowned design team of Mauro Miceli and his Officina Italiana studio onto its entry level planning range. During a press conference at the Dusseldorf boat show Sanlorenzo unveiled projects for the SL76 and SL86 which will replace the successful and nearly two decades standing 72 and 82 models. It is an important move from Sanlorenzo and a replacement of two important models, which even when still in production always got the admiration of being timeless classic yachts. As the rendering above for SL86 shows, the new course of Sanlorenzo will feature large windows in both the super-structure serving the living, and the lower deck for the cabins. Additional features will be the option of a larger extended bathing platform with hi-lo launch; this increasing space for an extra tender or allowing that of a larger rib.  On plan the SL86 is offered with two interior layouts; the main difference but important option is all about the galley this available on the main deck, or below in the crew area.  In the lower deck galley choice the VIP suite will move further forward. The SL86 will also feature technical advances such as vacuum infusion for the hull construction, floating floor to minimize vibration, and hull hydrodynamics which improve consumption at cruse.  Power options for the SL86 start from twin MTU of 1622hp up to 1947hp units. Top speed is 31 knots from the large MTU engine option.

New Model: Elandra 53

Elandra from down under Australia has made to real its first awaited project, the 53. Interesting as it gets outside thanks to the bronze color of hull one the Elandra 53 is a competitive fully enclosed sport cruiser.

In its layout the Elandra follows the formula of living on the main deck with an astern L-shape galley, and dining lounging only split by two steps. All this with the fully opening patio door also gets united with the aft deck making for a large entertaining area in nice weather. Below is all dedicated to three double cabins; full beam owners stateroom midships, VIP to fore, third bunk twin cabin to starboard, and guest shower head to port side.  A tender garage with space for a jet rib is located aft. Power is twin MAN 800hp which gives top speed up to 34 knots.

Project: Sealine C330 Cruiser

Sealine present the project for a new C330 model, based on the same hull as the S330 launched in September 2014.  The C330 is a fast, family cruising boat with two generous sized cabins and a fixed electrically operated sliding coach roof. With the hallmarks and characteristics of a Sealine, the new C330 combines innovative design features with outstanding versatility.  The unique design of the hull and deck offers ample space below, with the large hull windows and hatches letting lots of light and air into the luxurious interior. Future owners can choose between a huge number of equipment, material and color options to enable them to personalize their C330.

Project: Galeon 305 Open

Galeon continue to upgrade its 300 entry level series choice with the third installment coming from the 305 Open version.  Surely by the looks coming from the rendering this is to be the most aggressive of the trio, thanks also to the enticing forward facing radar arch.  For its layout both above and below deck the 305 Open will base itself on the layout as featured of the fall 2014 launched 305 HTC.  The main deck layout remains one of the most interesting in this size thanks to a sun-pad aft, C-shaped settee, helmsman chair to starboard, and entrance corridor, wet-bar, and a sun lounge to port side.  Below will be a four berths layout with a classic two plus two configuration presented in a U-shaped dinette forward which converts to a double berth, and double bed cabin at midships. In between the cabins is a galley to port-side, with opposite to this being a shower head.
