Project: Interyachts Monte Carlo 27 Classic

So here is a return of a classic, the Offshore Monte Carlo which in the mid seventies till the eighties had created a big fan base nearly as much to that of the Riva Aquarama.  This is not the first time the Offshorer Monte Carlo resurfaces, Sarnico did some versions in the early 2000s, and there is also the Montecarlo Offshore build in Torino Italy which build it in carbon fiber and rigorously on order. In this new Interyachts Monte Carlo we see the original founders of the brand Gianfranco Rossi, formerly World Champion of Offshore and builder with Renato Della Valle of the famous Monte-Carlo Offshorer, and Lucio Calegari, formerly of Sarnico Group teaming up for this project, which will feature two models with two variants each.  The new Monte-Carlo The Original, boats of 27 and 30 feet, will be born from the mythical step hull designed in America by Bob Hopps in the late 1970s, with the necessary evolution in design, and improvement in latest studies of hydrodynamics, which keep and improve the original character of superb sea-keeping.  The Interyachts Monte Carlo will be two models of 27 and 30 offered in two versions; bow rider with outboard engine and Classic with stern-drive inboard engine engine set up.  The new Monte Carlo will be built by Interyachts Monaco Shipyard with the usual attention to detail typical of those who have lived in the world of competitions for many years and, thanks to the different versions, will be able to satisfy a wide audience.  So far we have rendering of the 27 Classic, which will have a dry weight of less about two tons.  No performance details are given but the numbers should be in around the fifty knots of top end which is what the original Offshore Monte Carlo used to offer.

New Model: Maritimo X50

Following the success and innovation of the X60, Maritimo quickly followed it with a smaller X50 sister which launched just a year later.  Deservedly so the X-line is proving to be a winner for Maritimo, and the X50 is a quick follow up to the success the X60 got in its first year.  The aft cabin concept so loved in Europe in the eights and nineties, was very much abandoned since over a decade by most builders with the exception coming for inland waterway cruisers.  With the X60 Maritimo changed all this not only for having an aft cabin, but for giving a triple choice to buyers what to do of this area; tender garage, beach area with galley/bar and day head, or a cabin.  The new Maritimo X50 just like its bigger X60 sister does the same albeit in a smaller three meter size.  Now the question comes automatic, and it will be interesting to see who from Europe will copy this concept first, so far everyone is one year late.

Project: Steeler FD55 S Performance Flyday

Steeler reinvent design with this very interesting FD55 S Performance Flyday project.  This is a sport yacht which re-imagines the sport bridge, raising it up to offer better visibility and also add more space inside.  It is not something entirely new, we have seen it done in the eighties by the likes of Draco and Fjord from Scandinavia, Mochi and Sanlornezo in Italy, and lastly the Carver models.  But in the Steeler the lines take a pure sport yacht look from outside and only when looking astern you can notice the Flyday deck.  The Steeler FD55 S Flyday is also flexible in terms of layout offering three lower deck choices, from an owners single cabin version to two or three cabins versions.  The Steeler FD55 S Performance Flyday will be powered by twin Volvo 700hp with IPS pod drives matched to a dedicated performing hull.
