Zeelander has aspiring plans for the year 2018.  The shipyard’s expertise is today extending far beyond sixteen meter yachts and this is now the time to unveil a new exciting model, the lovely Zeelander Z55 is about to get a “topless” sister, the Corniche variant.  Zeelander Yachts named her after the enchanting seaside road that runs from Saint Jean Cap Ferrat in France to Monaco.  The all-new Zeelander Z55 Corniche adds cabriolet flair on top of the other unbeatable features from the hard top standard Z55.  Zeelaner has not given much information about the Z55 Corniche but being it based on the standard Z55 it should offer a similar two spacious cabins lower deck plan, with living on the main deck.

Web: Fountain Pajot New Web Site

French catamaran builder Fountaine Pajot presents its new world wide web site. This French boat builder who since its early years concentrated its production on catamarans first of sail and later on in 1998 to fuel engines powered models was founded in 1976, on the coast of La Rochelle by the Olympic competitor Jean-Francois Fountaine . The first Fountaine Pajot was a 505 dinghy with four persons doing the job. Two years pass and a new yard is purchased in Aigrefeuille, and two further dinghy models are introduced the 420, and 470. In 1980 Fountaine Pajot alters course and builds the first prototype half toner IOR Racer which will become World Champion, and take the Figaro solo race establishing an important name in Ocean racing. But it will be 1981 which marks an important turn around for Fountaine Pajot when it builds its first multi hull yacht with the 18 meter racing trimaran the Royal which was entirely built in foam core sandwich for Lois Caradec, and Philippe Facque. This is followed in 1983 with the first production built catamaran also in foam core sandwich construction and a design to Joubert and Nivelt, the 37 Louisiane which will go on to sell 55 units. After the first production model is launched more will follow with the second model the 26 Corneel designed by Eric Bruneel taking Boat of the Year by Bateaux Magazine. Another important step occurs in 1990 with Fountaine Pajot recruiting architect Olivier Flahault, who still as today designs most of Fountaine Pajot models. 1998 marks the first engine only Trawler Catamarans range first with the 37 Maryland sold in 78 units, and then followed by the 34 Greenland in 2000. Fountaine Pajot continues to advance in technology and standards and in 1999 it gets ISO9002 version 1994 certification, which is followed by its first infusion constructed 40 Lavezzi model in 2002. Todays Fountaine Pajot offers a total of ten models in two ranges starting from the power 37 Catamaran Motor Yacht, to the still in project 67 from the sailing range.  Fountaine Pajot largest ever built is the 80 Taiti. The power Trawler Catamaran range offers three models; 37 Catamaran Motor Yacht, 40 MY Catamaran Motor Yacht, and 44 MY Catamaran Motor Yacht. Fountaine Pajot new website  takes you around with the following buttons: Home, The Shipyard, Sailing Catamaran, Motor Yacht, Catamarans Day Charters, Investors, Contact, Photo Library, and Yacht Club.  Fountaine Pajot is also on social media with Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube page links located at the bottom of the page.

New Model: Overmarine Mangusta 46 Oceano

Overmarine reinforces its presence in the long range displacement segment, launching in March the first unit of the Mangusta 46 Oceano, the third displacement unit to hit the water in just two years from the Tuscany located yacht and super yacht builder.  High on-board comfort and balance between indoor and outdoor spaces: the Mangusta 46 Oceano range is marked by an exclusive combination of the brand’s key values, applied to the long range three-decked super yachts. The product philosophy is expressed in its great habitability, the ergonomics, and the spaces dedicated to the owner, to the guests, and to the crew. An ability to surprise that is extended to the technical level, starting from the high range values at various speeds, as well as performance levels in reducing noise on-board.  The design of the outside lines of the new 46 meter super yacht was created by long time Overmarine collaborator Stefano Righini, designer of all the Mangusta opens since the company was started, who here he maintained and enhanced the contemporary timeless style that characterizes the yachts of the Viareggio builder.  The interior of the 46 Ocean hull one was designed by Alberto Mancini.  The extreme attention to detail, study of materials and the freedom of movement in the utmost privacy are the elements that characterize the style of Mangusta Oceano 46, which can accommodate up to twelve guests in six cabins. A purely custom-made design, in terms of both the layout of the spaces and the furniture and finishes.  On a sensory level, comfort is the element that denotes the dominating theme on-board the 46 Oceano. The perception of openness in the spaces and the feeling of relaxation, in fact, are the feel rouge between the private areas and the socializing areas outdoors.  The Mangusta 46 Oceano is positioned among the super-yachts as a perfect combination of style, conviviality and design, in addition to the background of technology and construction capability that describes the excellence of Overmarine.  2018 promises to be an important year for Overmarine, which in addition to this 46-meter model in the displacement range, will also hold other important launches, including that for a new flagship: the Mangusta 54 GranSport.

Project: Pershing 170

During the Miami 2018 boat show the Ferretti Group presented three important projects concerning the future for three of its brands.  For Pershing it is turn for a new 170 flagship project with a rendering showing a very particular design.  As all the Pershing the 170 is again a design to the designer who penciled all models since the brand was born, Fulvio de Simoni.  The famous Italian designer went for an aggressive look with a two and a half deck design, this including a very integrated pilot house and the main and second deck feeling very much as one from the outside.  It might be that in this design he possibly did inspire a bit himself to some models of Palmer Johnson Supersport series.  Currently Pershing largest model to date has been the 115, with a 140 project presented in late 2015 currently in construction and scheduled for a delivery in this 2018 calendar year.

New Model: Steeler NG 65 S

Steeler Yachts from Holland has started the delivery of new motor yachts for this season with their largest build to date touching the water last week, the NG 65 S-line.  Noting her beautiful design, the in-house design team also developed a solution for wheelchair accessibility, with transfer on both port and starboard of the hull and the hydraulic lift placed midships being examples of the many challenges Steeler turns into solutions.  This S-line is built in steel and features a twin propulsion for a cruising speed that far exceeds the hull speed of the yacht. CE A certification and a Magnus Master stabilization system ensure safe and comfortable long range journeys.  The patented S-line bow enables extremely efficient fuel consumption and a minimization of spray water due to the sharp entry angle and the high flared bow.  The wheelhouse of NG 65 S is surrounded by double insulated and curved glass, allowing for undisturbed panoramic views. The interior features four bedrooms and three bathrooms for a total sleeping capacity of nine guests.  For the last week of March 2018 Steeler will commence sea trials in the Northsea for the NG 65 S, after which the proud owner will take delivery of his new yacht.
