New Launch: Feadship 99.95m Hull. 1008

A new star has been born into the Feadship firmament with the launch of the 99.95-metre hull. 1008 titled m/y Moonrise. Unveiled today by the Feadship yard in Makkum hull. 1008 successfully marries sleek sensual lines with a modern masculine profile. A wide range of elegant details, long hull windows, a glorious grey hull and striking vertical bow add to the elegance of the design by Studio De Voogt. In addition to her imposing length hull. 1008 has a very impressive volume thanks to its fifteen metre beam. This has generated some fabulous interior space for sixteen people in eight staterooms. There are also exceptionally high-end crew accommodations for up to 32 crew, which are bathed in natural light and designed to ensure a premium standard for those living and working on the yacht. Guests and staff alike will benefit from the huge effort expended on keeping hull. 1008 exceptionally quiet, eclipsing even Feadship’s legendary standards of noise and vibration attenuation. Exterior highlights of note include the way that the superstructure is entirely clad in glass, the helipad on the foredeck and the large beach club aft, complete with gym and wellness areas. High ceilings predominate both outdoors and in, with flush decks complementing a seamless transition to the interior. The latter features a sophisticated yet minimalistic style by Rémi Tessier Design that is instantly welcoming. Twin MTU engines enable hull. 1008 to reach 19.5 knots and her cruising speed is sixteen knots, with Quantum stabilisers ensuring a comfortable ride at all times.  Like every new Feadship hull. 1008 benefits from the latest thinking in terms of smooth operation and environmental responsibility. For example, exhaust gas treatment has been fitted to the main engines, in addition to the Feadship proprietary generator exhaust cleaning system installed these past decades. A heat recovery system installed on the generators allows Moonrise’s jacuzzi water to be warmed up using far less electrical power. And an ECO-certified system for dynamic positioning facilitates the most energy-saving generator use in this mode.  The naval architecture for hull. 1008 has been optimised to provide maximum comfort both underway and at anchor. Her propeller and appendages have been designed to ensure minimum noise levels underwater, reducing both the yacht’s impact as well as interior sound levels. Add in extended autonomy, the long cruising range, streamlined hull design and cutting-edge wastewater processing and storage facilities and it is clear that hull. 1008 once again sets the benchmark for efficiency in the widest sense of the word.

New Model: Wooden Boats WB 40 Classic

Wooden Boats was set up in 2012 by Marco Arnaboldi, Studio Arnaboldi based on his experience as former director of AB Yachts, which he founded in 1992 with his father to apply the cutting-edge technology of waterjets and sandwich construction to fast yachts.  This boutique hull specialist firm and shipyard has collaborated with leading Italian brands such as Benetti, Sanlorenzo, Pershing, Baglietto and others, designing, engineering and building eighteen custom tenders in less than eight years. It has also worked with top designer names, including Giorgio Cassetta, Guido de Groot, Marco Casali and Achille Salvagni.  The first yacht to be built using this particular construction technique was the WB40 Classic, a twelve meter luxury day cruiser for a European owner. The hull and the deck are made of sandwiched layers of multi-directional mahogany plywood and pre-preg carbon fiber using the epoxy vacuum method. Although Arnaboldi’s original mission was to build in wood and carbon fibre, Wooden Boats also specializes in construction using advanced composites alone.  Fully designed, engineered and produced in-house with a deep-V hull engineered for water jet propulsion, the WB40 Classic combines optimal performance and excellent sea keeping with an absence of vibrations in all sea conditions.  Conceived for weekend cruising in the sun and able to comfortably carry up to 14 guests, the WB 40 Classic has a forward sunbed atop the deck house, a central cockpit with a height-adjustable table that be transformed into another sundeck, and a third sunbed aft above the engine compartment. The helm station is raised above the main deck for optimal visibility under way and while maneuvering.  The entrance to the cabin is located on the right side of the helm station. Below deck is a spacious double bed, bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. Behind the helm is an open-air  kitchen cabinet with sink, worktop, two-burner hob and fridge. The whole area can be protected by a bimini top (there is also the option of a hard-top version and a full-carbon fibre hull with fold-down bulwarks to increase the size of the swim platform).  Powered by twin 420-hp Yanmar engines coupled to a pair of MJP water jets with lastest generation joystick controls, the WB40’ Classic has a top speed of 40 knots and a cruising speed of about 36 knots.
