Project: Azimut Atlantis 51

Been about three years since Atlantis launched a totally new model, so the thinking was that Azimut-Benetti Group was re-valuating its entry level sport cruiser and yacht range, even though both the 43 and 50 models are good sellers.  Comes Cannes show 2017 and Azimut-Benetti Group present the Azimut Atlantis 51 project.  A new flagship of the Atlantis range, the 51 see the Neo Design team continue responsibility of the range as started in 2009.  The Azimut Atlantis 51 sees the designers offer a similar super structure to the 43 model, with the hull taking inspiration from the third generation Azimut S series looks, see axe-bow with grill.  Inside the Azimut Atlantis 51 will offer a traditional three double cabin six berths layout; owners room forward, a VIP double cabin to starboard, twin bunk to port side, and a saloon and galley in between.  This is a surprise considering Atlantis has been in the past a pioneer in offering full beam cabins in the 425 SC, 47, and 55 models.  But the surprise is even bigger when you see that the 51 will feature IPS pod propulsion, therefore usually allowing for larger cabin space. Interesting to note Atlantis return to the use of IPS pod drives with the 51 being the second model to offer IPS pod propulsion after the 50x4 model presented in 2008 and lasting production a couple years.

Project: Sirena 85

Sirena present the project for an 85 model, what is an anticipated and future flagship of the new Turkish boat builder range which has in its first year already launched the 56 and 64 models.  The Sirena 85 project connects a family feeling with the smaller 56 and 64 models being designed for the exterior by German Frers.  While for the interior design duties have changed to dutch architect Cor D.Rover, taking over from Spadolini who designed the 56 and 64 layouts.  For the exterior German Frers went for a streamlined two and half deck raised pilot house modern design, with a semi wide body fore-ship.  In the interior Cor D.Rover offers two different layouts with five or four cabins and both having the owner stateroom forward of the main deck.  Worth a note here is the connection the owners cabin will have to the upper part of fore deck and a private access to the Jacuzzi located in this area.  The Sirena 85 has a projected top speed of 26 knots, and at a cruising speed of ten knots should cover an estimated range of two thousand nautical miles.

Propulsion: Volvo IPS30

Volvo Penta has augmented its Inboard Performance System IPS pod design, to match the class-leading performance of its latest and most powerful diesel engine the new D13-1000.  The remodeled IPS pod drive by Volvo Penta named IPS30 sees new and upgraded features to complement the company’s latest 13-liter 1000hp engine, to provide world-class performance. The redesigned pod is part of the company’s exciting breakthrough into a higher power category for its marine leisure segment, enabling yachts of up to 120ft to benefit from its excellent capabilities. The IPS30 pod has been updated to ensure it is a perfect match for the new design of the D13 engine. Overall, these enhancements make the pod cleaner, tougher, able to handle a wide speed range, while retaining the compact dimensions of existing IPS drives.  The IPS30 pod and its co-ordination with the 13-liter engine sees the production of the D13-IPS1350 integrated package; the 1350 refers to the equivalent amount of horsepower produced from the unit, when compared to a traditional inboard shaft engine installation. The package is a complete system from helm to prop, with a technologically advanced design that has twin counter-rotating forward-facing propellers that sit below the hull for enhanced grip. The unique design, with individually steerable pods that are linked to the on-board Joystick Docking function, creates precision maneuverability.  The IPS package provides up to 30 per cent lower fuel consumption compared to inboard shaft installations up to 15 per cent faster acceleration and 20 per cent higher top speed; noise and vibration levels are reduced by up to 50 per cent. An IPS package can be installed in twin, triple or quadruple configuration, and of the latter, the power produced is equivalent to 5400hp.
