Project: Cranchi 78 Magnifica

The Cranchi 78 Magnifica shows the Italian yard recent resolve in challenging again the bigger sizes of the yacht spectrum.   Cranchi saw with the Sixty 6 Flybridge produced from 2010 to 2015 its biggest build to date, this new 78 Magnifica outlines a believe in future success for the Italian builder and the need to push the range into bigger dimensions. As usual for Cranchi, the Italian company is prepared to make important steps ahead with significant investment in research, development and infrastructure.   Christian Grande design studio is presently at work on this project, collaborating with the Cranchi yard and it’s primary partners.  Not much information about Cranchi 78 Magnifica is available as yet, though from the above rendering one can deduct that it has a lot of the recent style amenities and seems to show a pod drive propulsion system.

The davit at the stern means the beach club can also carry tenders and jet skis.  Setting the tone in true yachting style, the stairs and the first four metres of deck are teak.  As the most compact of the YXT the 20 offers accommodation for four in her crew quarters with two twin cabins with baths, galley, stowage and laundry rooms. An additional segregated stowage compartment is on the lower deck for extra refrigeration or wine storage, if necessary this area can be build to spec as a cabin with additional extra berths.  The guest area and lounge is finished in a rich natural wood veneer with parquet flooring. Furnishings expand on this theme. The same feeling of natural wood with furnishings in white laminate and wood trim provide a warm home away from home for her crew.

Project: Estensi 380 America

Estensi present the project for a new 380 America model set to be World launched in the upcoming 2017 Cannes boat show.  The Estensi 380 America is based on the Mauro Zuccheri designed hull lines of the 360 Goldstar, with looks and upper structure inspired by East coast USA sport fisherman cruiser and designed by Marino Alfano.  Still to be fair to the genre, the Estensi is not a sport-fishing machine although the exterior looks are inspired to this, the features in the cockpit are not.  For example the cockpit deck of the 360 America will be a flat floor, with a bench settee to port side,  while to starboard we have a dinette with a mezzanine style settee looking aft. Interior wise the Estensi 380 America will be offered in two versions a more cabin layout with two cabins and one head ideal for a family cruise, and a more open layout set for short stays and or day trips.  The Estensi 380 America will be powered by standard twin Volvo 300hp and or optional 370hp.  An outboard version is also set to be available.

Web: Dellapasqua New Web Site

Dellapasqua presents its new World wide web virtual showroom.  Starting up in 1956 Giancarlo Dellapasqua gets an apprenticeship with Lugaresi Naval Shipyard in Rimini where in three years he gets the title and licence of master craftsman with the ability to build boats up to 150 tons. Feeling confident of his title in 1959 Dellapasqua founds his boat building premises first in Savignano on Rubicone, and later on in 1970 moving to the today establishment of Marina di Ravenna. The first year of the Dellapasqua DC brand is successful with the deliveries of seventeen boats. The first boats of DC are flat bottomed hulls, but hearing of the success of the deep Vee Hunt shape, Dellapasqua decides to renew his designs with the new trend, put some personal modifications and use it from there onward for all his boats. This intuition puts Dellapasqua competing in important races in Italy of the time so that his name gets more established, and with the help of this creates the first DC4 and DC5 models. Following the operation of new premises in 1971 Dellapasqua produces its first fiberglass boat with the DC6. With this comes the fiberglass laboratory in Punta Marina of 35.000 squared meters, and a personal office in Lavagna. In 1990 Giancarlo Dellapasqua buys the other half of brand rights from Carnevali for the DC brand, this now means a full family operation. Giancarlo son Mirco graduates in the Nautical Institute of Trieste becoming responsible for fiberglass, Patrizia takes care of administration, and younger Serenella who joined in 1991 is handed over the technical department. Another important figure in the yard is Stefano Salvadori husband to Marinella who responds to the suppliers for the building of the Dellapasqua boats. Today at close to sixty years in operation Dellapasqua has delivered over 1300 boats most of which to order with a great input from the owner. The current Dellapasqua line up features fifteen models and starts with the DC7 Elite, up to the DC18 SL flagship. The new Dellapasqua website is available in Italian and English language and takes you around with the following buttons: Boat Yard, Fleet, Used, Charter, Service, Concept Design, and Contacts.

Project: Astondoa 100 Century

Spanish shipyard Astondoa unveils the project for a new 100 Century. The official launch of the new model is scheduled for September this year during the Cannes Yachting Festival.  The new yacht is the second project of the Spanish shipyard within the Century range. As the first model 110 of the range , the shipyard’s design department has created an innovative but stable interior and exterior design for the new 30.50 meter yacht. In this model, the attention is drawn to its lines, an unmistakable characteristic of the new Century range which also has its own signs of identity such as the external design of the wheelhouse which is similar in the five models within the range, with large glass areas throughout the boat, a full beam master cabin setup forward on the main deck, and four large staterooms at mid-ship. Furthermore, an extraordinary high bridge, in terms of dimensions and access, allows to go from the bow to the stern without changing levels, with a panoramic view that provides privacy thanks to its side windows.  The Century range style is creating a recognizable elegance i the world of luxury yachts, knowing how to balance spaces and innovate with designs while respecting the taste and preferences of its owners, always creating each unit as a unique and unrepeatable piece.  The interior decoration is the work of Italian designer Cristiano Gatto which has adapted each unit to the personal taste of the owner, creating an extraordinary environment with solutions that meet the most demanding expectations of Astondoa customers.  Power for the new Astondoa 100 Century will come from twin MTU 2185hp which should give a top speed of 26 knots and a cruise of 22.

New Model: Ferretti Custom Line 33 Navetta

With five units already sold ahead of its presentation, the new Ferretti Custom Line 33 Navetta has taken to the water at Group's Superyacht Yard in Ancona on 26 June.  The 33 Navetta follows on the new generation design as outlined again by Zuccon and follows on from the Navetta 37.  The Navetta 33 is the second model in the new series to hit the water and the third project in the new generation of Custom Line yachts, joining an unrivaled fleet of semi-displacement super yachts.  The 33 Navetta will be specially presented to dedicated Ferretti Group clients in a super exclusive event titled Midsummer Dream, in the setting of Ibiza on 29 and 30 July and will see the unveiling of the yacht in the exclusive Lio venue, one of the most glamorous clubs in the international nightlife scene, leased for a private event for the first time, the famous Ibiza Marina and the magnificent Experimental Beach, with its unmistakable Balearic charm.  The new Navetta 33 is yet another product of the joint efforts of the Product Strategy Committee of the Ferretti Group, headed by Mr. Piero Ferrari, along with Studio Zuccon International Project for the exterior design and the Group's Engineering Department for the interior design.  The Navetta 33 introduces some major innovations to Custom Line's semi-displacement super yachts of this size, added to the distinctive features that have already proved so popular on Navetta 37.  The hull with bulbous bow delivers performance at the top of its class in terms of seaworthiness and stability with a range of 2000 nautical miles possible at economic cruising speed  The 33 Navetta also offers fabulous spaces to owners and their guests across all four decks: from the wide-body master suite forward on the main deck, through to the four guest cabins on the lower deck.  Thanks to the external panoramic terrace on the starboard main deck, and the fabulous sliding windows on the aft upper deck, the lounge areas and interior and exterior dining areas are spacious and bright.  By contrast, the sun deck with swimming pool and large sun pad is designed to provide moments of total privacy.  The Navetta 33 features all the technical innovations that characterize all Custom Line's latest models: the patented DMT system for optimal use of the stern area; VOTIS software to provide the most flexible and practical on-board infotainment systems; and an integrated helm station for safe monitoring of the systems and equipment on board while under way.  Moreover, the first Navetta 33 is equipped with a top of the range Hi-Fi system.  Additional features include a special flexible joint in the transmission lines, which absorbs shaft vibrations, and other cutting-edge solutions that reduce noise levels to a minimum.  The floating floor beneath the parquet flooring, for example, helps reduce the transmission of noise to the living areas by softening any footfall.  Further comfort and safety solutions when mooring and at anchor include the electro-hydraulic stabilizing fins and on request added with Seakeeper stabilizers. There are three engine options available for the Ferretti Custom Line 33 Navetta: Man 1400hp and or 1600hp, and Cats 1622hp.

Project: Azimut 60 Flybridge

When Azimut releases a project in around the seventeen to eighteen meter size everyone enters into attention lets see what they got mode.  Let's be frank the Italian known by everyone Azimut and its designers have been a game changer in this size both in the early nineties with the revolutionary AZ54; first to have a midships owners stateroom in this size, and then again at the start of the new millennium when it launched the ground breaking 55 with its how did they do it midships full beam owners cabin.  This new 60 project is the next step of what the 55 represented in the Genoa boat show year 2000, and which after that sold in five hundred units plus in its eight years production run.  The 55 was followed by the 58 launched in 2007 and then developed into the current 60 as presented in the fall of 2011.  The 60 just as was the 58/60 before it, is an evolution to the series, being the next step the revolutionary 55 represented.  By the renderings of this new 60 we see that designer Righini is bringing details from recent other Azimut Flybridge models see new 50 and 66 models type windows, and the Alfa Romeo inspired bow of the S series.  Inside Azimut does not follow trends and sticks to its beliefs; see central galley instead of the astern location so much favored nowadays by the other famous names in this size.  Below deck is the main difference between the old and new 60, as the new Azimut  offers a three cabins three head layout, with a third day guest head to port of the stair case which takes from the saloon to the cabins.  I always thought this detail had to come in the 58 back in 2007 especially when thinking that the Azimut 55 first full beam midships cabin challenger the Aicon 56 offered the third head back when launched in 2002.  The Azimut 60 will be powered by the Man 800hp engines of which a top speed of 32 knots is being estimated.  Technical numbers are lightly different to the current 60 meaning that probably the Azimut technical department might have started with a blank paper.  An interesting detail also present in the new 60 data is the 2.9 tons less of displacement versus the outgoing model.
