Paul Fiore 1943 - 2019

Paul Fiore, the founder of Hustler Powerboats in New York, which kicked off the stepped V-bottom hull revolution that swept through the high-performance marine industry in the 1980s, died the morning 26th November after a four-week battle with an undisclosed illness. He was 76 years old. Fiore was the father of Outerlimits Offshore Powerboats founder Mike Fiore, who died following an accident in the 2014 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout in Central Missouri.  Though Fiore often described himself as retired from the boat building world, he regularly consulted with the Outerlimits crews.  Fiore is survived by his wife, Diane, and daughter, Donna, who works at Outerlimits; his former wife; Joyce, the mother of Mike and Donna; and grandchildren Nicole, Sophia, Jet and Moxie.

New Model: Princess S66

Princess present the new S66, a model which replaces the S65 presented in 2016.  The new S66 has an undeniable presence, thanks to her slender streamlined lines and aggressive forms. A Vee shaped hull delivers on this promise with speeds up to 38 knots coming from twin Man 1400hp engines. When at anchor, peacefulness descends onto her generously appointed deck areas, which include a spacious fore-deck seating area, whilst her hydraulic bathing platform and three meters plus space tender garage become the perfect base for water-sports.  Captivating on the outside, she is distinctively cool inside. Her sociable galley aft arrangement, with opposing open-plan dining area, has sliding doors and a fully opening electric window leading out to the cockpit to create an al fresco bar. Below deck eight guests are accommodated across four cabins, three of which are en suite.  A single berth crew cabin is located aft.

Project: Anvera 42

Anvera is a rib cruiser and yacht builder which has gained a lot of attention on its first two models, first the 55 and then the 48.  Now Anvera presents the project for a third entry level 42 rib cruiser project.  We do not have a lot of details about this new Anvera, so far we know that the 42 is designed as the larger sisters by Aldo Drudi, and follows a light weight construction mostly made of carbon fiber, which allows high speeds with minimum horsepower.  This one is a recurring Anvera theme, which makes for incredible nautical mile per liter numbers, and an amazing ride its priority.

Super Yacht Fire in Puerto Banus

A thirty meter super yacht titled Mama Lola had an onboard fire while berthed at Puerto Banus, Marbella, on the South-East Mediterranean coast of Spain at about 10:15 morning time of 25 November.  The fire was reported to have started in the cabin area of the yacht, with a thick grey-black plum of smoke rising up from the yacht.  Fire fighters and emergency services rushed to the scene, with the fire controlled in about two hours.  In a footage on YouTube a nearby yacht was seen leaving its berth to port-side of the smoke filled yacht for safety reasons.  The yacht was saved from the fire, although the damage inside, should not be little.

Motor yacht Mama Lola is a Stefano Righini designed 2002 Falcon Yachts 100, powered by twin MTU 1800hp for speeds up to 26 knots and an interior with five guest suites.  Debuting in 1996 the Falcon 100 is an evolution and replacement of the 92 model, and was the Viareggio builder flagship at launch.  Produced for nine years in 25 units, the 100 was replaced by the Falcon 102 in 2005.

New Model: Fairline F//Line 33

In recent years each new Fairline model seems to bring a divided opinion by the brand fans, and the new F//Line 33 fell deeply in this category, and took it to the next level for the reasoning it has been a long time if ever, that the British boat builder offered something like it.  I have been following Fairline for various decades now and the last sport model I remember was the 26 Sportfury in the mid to late eighties, which shared hull with the Sunfury but had no second midships cabin and outside looks which teased Sunseeker.  Divided opinions about the F//Line 33 are from claims it is a gift to boating to those saying that Fairline does not know what an entry level cruiser is, and reminding to everyone what the previous models and successes in the past of the British brand as the Targa 34 and 38 offered in a similar size.  The Fairline F//Line 33 more then a look in itself is a reply to Princess R35, costing less but still offering some things of its own.  Looking outside the F//Line 33 looks less sophisticated, but looking deeper it does bring a sophistication of her own thanks to the ingenuity and style of Italian designer Alberto Mancini.  Inside the F//Line 33 also offers more to the R35 thanks to a two plus two layout with a V-berth dinette converting to a double berth forward, and a midships cabin sleeping two, with a shower head in between.  The F//Line 33 also features a nice deep Vee shape which according to first reviews handles really well in choppy seas.  The big disappointment of the F//Line 33 seems to be the CE C category which considering the F//Line 33 has a range of 200 nautical miles at cruise is really disappointing, and from here I hope Fairline rectifies it to a CE B today before tomorrow.

The 80 Sunreef Power’s immense flybridge offers enough breadth to house a spa pool, a wet bar and generous seating all around.  One of the most spectacular features on board the 80 Sunreef Power is the master suite which can be set up in the bow section of the main deck. With a double bed facing the bow terrace, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, dressing and desk, the suite is bathed in sun from the skylight glazing. The same space can also be used to install a large lounge with ample seating and access to the foredeck.  The main saloon opens wide onto the ample aft cockpit to combine the yacht’s interior dining space with the outdoor relaxation areas, where more seating is available along with a wet bar. The fully custom saloon can also accommodate for a large galley, depending on the layout selected and houses an elevated interior navigation station.  The immense volumes in the hulls of the 80 Sunreef Power give plenty of room to tailor every unit’s layout to the most specific requirements. The crew quarters along with the galley and crew mess can be accessed directly from the aft cockpit for more privacy on board.

Improve-it = Maritimo M51

In the Sydney boat show 2019 Maritimo presented the One custom project based on current models of the range but specified and tailor modified to specific clients requests.  This Maritimo M51 Flybridge Motoryacht part of the One project was conceptualized by a client with the specific need to expand the master stateroom in lieu of the third starboard guest cabin. The custom design sees the master ensuite relocate to starboard with a custom designed ensuite molding and enlarged day lounge and wardrobe.  This level of customization to the standard specification sees modifications to existing interior moldings with no effect to exterior specification, hydro-statics and weight study. This lesser degree of modification, which transfers a standard build to the new custom division, forms the bulk of enquiry that Maritimo One undertakes. The degree of customization has far more scope for those desiring that a Maritimo motor yacht, suits what one needs and wants.  The Maritimo M51 is standard powered by twin Volvo 670hp with line shaft propulsion, and has in 2019 also been updated with new glazing for the hull sides.
