Project: Fiart 52

Fiart showcase the project for a new 52 model, set to be launched in September 2016 and presented in Cannes boat show during the same month.  The 52 when launched is to be the second in size for Fiart which today starts at 33 feet and ends with the 58 Epica flagship.  The South Italy Neapolitan builder sees the 52 as a challenge to itself and to the market, and rightly so since Fiart has been known in Italy for making the perfect family sport cruiser for the Summer Mediterranean sea with classic models as the 35 and 40 Genius always having an important market share from the eighties up till today.  Accommodation layout offers a three double cabin interior, and for the first time Fiart makes a fully enclosed main deck which when desired can become fully open thanks to a vanishing patio door system.  As technical details go the 52 will have a complete new hull dedicated to the length, weight and propulsion of the sport yacht with a Vee shape featuring a 27 degrees angle at midships which closes to a medium 15 aft. Propulsion wise the 52 will use IPS pod drives as featured in three other Fiart models; 58 Epica, 4Seven Genius, 4TFour Genius.  Fair note that Fiart has been among the first using IPS offering it as option on its 50 Genius flagship back in 2006, and after this going to fully dedicated models.  Power wise the 52 will use twin Volvo 600hp or optional 725hp units coupled to IPS pods drives with a project estimated top speed of 37 knots with the largest engine choice.

New Model: Absolute 50 Fly

Absolute is already thinking 2017 season and has just finished its first new model for the coming year the new 50 Fly.  Two hulls have already been completed of this new 50 Fly model, with the second hull being fitted with a hard top for the flybridge.  The Absolute 50 Fly impresses for its accommodation in all areas for a yacht just short of fifty feet in over all length. Her accommodation layout proposes a three double cabin interior with full beam owners stateroom with en-suite, a VIP to fore, guest cabin to starboard with two inline berth, and a guest shared shower head.  Impressive is also the en-suite shower head single berth crew or guest cabin aft.  The living of the 50 Fly uses the recent Absolute layout of astern galley, and a C-shaped Lounge sofa which can also be used as a dinette.  Power for the 50 Fly is a rather shy for the size twin Volvo 435hp with the tried and tested for the Italian builder IPS pod drives propulsion.  Absolute is estimating a top speed of 30 knots with these rather small units for a 22 tons loaded flybridge yacht.

Project: Rio 44 Colorado

Rio presents the project for a new 44 Colorado set to launch later on in 2016.  Innovative as it can get the 44 Colorado pushes the segment of a fourteen meter sport cruiser to new accommodation layouts offering a three double cabin interior without sacrificing the spacious full beam owners suite.  Indeed looking at the specification its seems the new Rio does not sacrifice much stuff as even its fuel tank capacity at 1400 liters is on the bigger side of things for a sport cruiser of this size. Power options on the 44 Colorado sees Rio looking a bit back from the current 46 Air model, as it will be offered with Volvo 370hp on stern drives, or Cummins 480hp on shafts, meaning no pod propulsion system.

New Model: Otam SD35

With this new flagship launch Otam has made again a statement to the way it approaches the market.  Built of alloy and featuring three decks the new SD35 is a new kind of launch to the previously build 75 high performance sport cruisers and yachts from 45 to eighty feet Otam has delivered.  Yet again Otam has again impressed, for its current largest build to date. The Italian builder in the build of this new flagship is also very proud of the all Italian nature for the SD35 from the designer to the builders. It will be interesting to see how Otam will feature in this market in the future. A builder from Rome had a similar pattern about a decade ago yet till today it only delivered one 140 feet triple deck super yacht, despite it being of good high quality.  So the question comes automatic is the SD35 just a one off or we will see more of it from Otam.  I think only the future will answer the question.
