Project: Tiara Q44

Tiara Yachts engineers and designers introduce the first plan, profile and layouts of the new Q 44. The adventure sport cruiser, first revealed to the market as a concept during the 2015 Miami International Boat Show, now comes to life with real lines in the form of renderings. The purpose-built sport cruiser targets a sector of the market moving towards more outdoor entertainment and offers a generous amount of open space to bring along a large group of friends or family. The Q 44 project is designed around the very successful Tiara 44 Coupe hull. However, the luxurious interior living spaces are traded for more wide open deck and exterior seating while the over-night features below are softened a bit.  The single level deck lets you enjoy the Q 44 from the designated Island galley in the cockpit all the way to the bow. There you will find a cushioned love seat as well as additional house seats that make the area more than just another place to anchor and throw lines. It becomes a space where family and friends can post up and enjoy the outdoors. The bridge deck opens to the cockpit and features two electrically-actuated sliding doors port and starboard. The doors, when closed, provide weather protection from the elements during the run to and from your destination and allow guests to freely move throughout the bridgedeck, cockpit space and bow areas. The beauty of the exterior layout is that it can accommodate a large group of people and everyone can find room for their favorite activities and enjoyment. Underneath it all is the solid heritage of Tiara Yachts. The build, the bluewater performance of the 44 hull, and the quality in craftsmanship synonymous with the Tiara brand. Hull number one of the luxury dayyacht will be powered by Volvo Penta’s IPS system and 435hp engines, complete with joystick driving and glass cockpit. The Q 44 will also be available with straight drives featuring joystick docking at a later date. Performance is expected to match that of the Tiara 44 Coupe which reaches max speed of 30 knots with the same engines.

Project: Elandra 47 SY

Elandra Yachts unveiled plans for its next model, the 47 Sport Yacht, during the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show.  Development is now underway at the company's yard at Arundel on the Gold Coast and scheduled launch is mid-2016. The 47 will feature similar line to the acclaimed 53 launched last year, and as the bigger sister is also to feature tried and tested shaft drive. Elandra has so far sold four 53s since the launch in September last year, surpassing its plan of making production of three boats per year.  The three-cabin Elandra 47 will include two spacious queen staterooms: a full-beam master with private en-suite and a forward guest stateroom with shared shower head on the port side. A bunk cabin is positioned to starboard. The Elandra 53 has won acclaim for its open-plan design and inviting layout that brings the outdoors into the saloon. The design of the Elandra 47 is in the same vein with expansive bi-fold doors that open up to engage the cockpit with the galley and saloon settee as a single entertainment or leisure area. The cockpit has been designed with no loss of space or features than the Elandra 53, and the aft cockpit lounge can be set up as dinette or coffee table setting at the push of a button. The aft boot accessed from the swim platform lifts up to unearth a cavernous garage lazarette for inflatables, kayaks, rods and tackle boxes, dive gear or additional freezers.  Standard power comes from twin Caterpillar  650hp. Options include Volvo 670 and Scania 675hp. The drive line is direct shaft with a low 10-degree shaft angle.

New Launch: CRN 55m hull.134

CRN, the shipyard specializing in the construction of steel and aluminium pleasure vessels between 50 and 90 meters in length, held a private ceremony this morning to launch its hull number 134 a 55 metre megayacht that stands out for her very strong, unmistakable personality. This latest CRN launch is the outcome of the outstanding job performed by design firm Nuvolari Lenard, that pencilled her outer lines, and CRN’s Engineering Department, which was in charge of naval engineering.  Nuvolari Lenardi had already successfully cooperated with CRN on other super yachts, including 43-metre 'Magnifica’, 46-metre ‘Clarena' and 'Saramour', and 72-metre 'Azteca'.  Entirely built in Ancona, this yacht can boast a purposely strong stylistic identity, which draws inspiration from some elements typical of military crafts: square shapes, sharp lines, and innovative, sophisticated design solutions that distinguish features of the Ancona-based shipyard's brand-new yacht. CRN hull number 134 is named ’Atlante’, 55 metres long and having a 10.20-metre beam, develops over 5 decks featuring strikingly original solutions.  Atlante is equipped with two 1649hp Cat engines that push her to a maximum speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots. The motor yacht will now undergo all final fitting-out activities and technical trials before leaving port and cruising in international waters.
