Ferretti New Web Site

Ferretti Yachts presents its new World wide web virtual showroom.  Ferretti started up in 1968 with brothers Norberto and Alessandro expanding their car selling business into boat and yacht selling, with Chris Craft, Italcraft, and Sanlorenzo brands dealership.  Three years after this in 1971 Ferretti present their first boat a ten meter motor sailor build in a collaboration with Franchini of wood, who also designs the boat.  In 1980 Ferretti start the work to enter into motor boating, which leads to the Altura 38 Fly designed by race legend Fabio Buzzi debuting in 1982, which is Roadster and Estate versions a year later.  After a total of twelve models from the nine meter Meneghino to the nineteen meter Altura 61 the last Ferretti sail boat was build in 1988, and showed the innovation with the company being a pioneer in the raised saloon style, and today having a following in the used brokerage market.  After a total switch from sail to power the scope of the marque for innovation, quality and bigger boats takes a new step and in 1987 as Ferretti builds its first boat over fifty feet with the 52 Altura model, and in 1997 also presents its first super yacht over eighty feet with the 80 model.  An important step for Ferretti was also made in 1990 when Rome designer Giovanni Zuccon takes over from Pusceddu, his first design being the 54 model later renamed to 175 Fly and 60 produced till 1997.  From there onward Ferretti and Zuccon worked together non stop till 2017 with all the models of the Forli company designed by the renowned Italian designer.  From 2018 onward the new Ferretti designer is Filippo Salvetti who has designed the latest new four models; 670, 720, 500 and 1000.  In 1996 Ferretti founded Ferretti Custom Line, as a line with its aim of building bigger super yachts outside the Forli and Cattolica factories, with the first model the 94 launching in 1998.  The largest Ferretti build will be the 1000, to be launched this year, while under the Ferretti Custom Line the flagship is the Navetta 42. The Ferretti Custom Line was the catalyst for the company to form Ferretti Group from 1996 onward which today features eight very important and signature distinctive Italian brands.  Ferretti innovative spirit has always been part of its DNA and over the years the Italian brand has made important World firsts which have changed motor boating not only to the Italian company but also to all the boating World.  One of the most important strike of genius was the extended integrated bathing platform idle for tender storage first shown in 1985 on the 49 Altura, before this it was the folding up patio door window system which fully connected exterior and interior main decks, then we have the Anti Rolling Gyro developed in collaboration with Mitsubishi in 2004, and in 2005 Ferretti also pioneered the astern galley layout in the 630 model.  Ferretti also competed in offshore racing winning the top Class One tier World championship in 1994 and 1997, and European title in 1995 and 1997 with Norberto Ferretti at the helm.  Ferretti currently produces nine models from the entry level new 500, with the flagship being the soon to launch 1000 thirty meter super yacht.  Ferretti new web site is available in American, Italian, and Chinese language and takes you around with the following buttons; Fleet, Philosophy, News and Events, Customer Care, Dealer and Service Network, Contacts, and Pre-Owned.  Ferretti is also on social media on Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, Youtube, Pintrest, and Twitter with a link to these available at the bottom of the page.

Project: Antonini UP40 Crossover

Antonini Navi presents UP40 Crossover, the first of three models based on the UP40 modular steel platform that allows the concept and type of yacht to be decided during the construction process. Like the upcoming models, Motoryacht and Sport Explorer, Crossover has been designed in collaboration with multiple award-winning architect and designer Fulvio De Simoni.  Like all the boats produced by the shipyard, UP40 rossover, on which construction work will begin in September, will have a clean, balanced and innovative design. Two main decks are connected by a half-deck containing the single helm station.  Static and dynamic testing of the hull, hull lines and appendages was performed at the Marin Maritime Research Institute in the Netherlands, simulating sea-keeping in up to extreme navigation conditions. The generous free boards have flowing lines and the cut of the bow is contemporary in style. The exterior areas can be furnished in various ways and an infinity pool can also be installed in the bow area on this model, creating a full-fledged solarium that is pleasantly airy both at anchor and when cruising.  UP40 Crossover is available in two versions, a fully Open Deck model designed for cruising in Mediterranean climates, plus an Enclosed Bridge version with a superstructure that covers part of the Upper Deck and features extensive glazed surfaces, offering a 360-degree view of the horizon. In this case, the owner’s suite can have a surface area of over 60 square meters and a private terrace. The external bow area can, of course, accommodate a table for  fresco dining and a sunbathing area. There are up to four double cabins for guests on the Lower Deck, sleeping a total of ten people, while five cabins are set aside for the crew.  The new model from Antonini Navi will also have two tenders: the first, seven meters long, is housed in the stern hangar for easy launch and recovery, while the second measuring almost four meters in length is stowed forward for use by the crew, with a recessed winched integrated in the gunwale.  The big fuel tanks and a special focus on efficient cruising deliver a range of over 5000 nautical miles at 10 knots. Top speed is about 15 knots and cruising speed is 12 knots.

New Model: Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy

Sanlorenzo launch the much waited 44 Alloy in a perfect combination of craftsmanship, innovation, experience and passion.  The Italian motor and super yacht builder continues its unstoppable progress by demonstrating once again that nautical design is a creative, exciting and versatile world in continuous evolution, capable of generating unexpected proposals with the aim of offering the highest quality of life on board.  This is the idea behind the new Sanlorenzo 44 Alloy superyacht, a 44 meter long fast displacement model, entirely in aluminium, which thanks to its unprecedented layout and maximum indoor-outdoor takes the concept of livability to new heights. The owner’s cabin, the conceptual fulcrum of the project, is conceived as a private apartment of 145 square meters divided into three levels, with indoor and outdoor zones, in a solution never seen before on a super yacht of this size.  The 44 Alloy conserves the elegant, balanced style and fluid that have always set the brand apart, while offering surprising spaces for the owner as well as guests, such as the large beach club that opens on three sides, providing direct connection to the sea, while the fore-deck, with its open area, offers multiple possibilities of use.  The new 44 Alloy is a true conceptual update of the prize-winning 40 Alloy, the forty meter long aluminium super yacht famous in 2007 for introducing fold-out terraces in the owner’s zone, its gull-wing doors on the bridge, its remarkable performance and commercial success, with ten yachts build by the Liguria yacht builder.  A completely new concept and project developed by the Sanlorenzo team, relying on the creativity of the studio Zuccon International Project, with the personal contribution of Bernardo Zuccon, for the design of the external lines and the definition of the concept in a layout never seen before, which has no equals on the market for yachts of this size.  The interior design of the 44 Alloy has been formulated in the first unit under construction by Zuccon International Project, with the refined taste and delicate choices of Martina Zuccon. The second yacht has interiors by the Florence-based architect Michele Bonan, while the third unit will bear the signature of the French architecture firm Liaigre, reflecting the flexibility, eclecticism and internationalism of the Sanlorenzo shipyard.

Project: Frauscher 1212 Ghost

Frauscher present the 1212 Ghost project, which will shed its shroud at the 2020 Cannes boat show, with an evolution of the Austrian builder design language that is both bold and beautiful. Along with other Frauscher models the 1212 Ghost features distinctive elements like the huge teak deck, frame-less and tinted windscreen as well a straight bow design. The side air intakes, first featured on the 747 Mirage and then on the 1414 Demon are further developed and give the side profile a very distinctive look. The back features a swooping design framing the generous teak bathing platform in spectacular fashion.  No interior and performance details are yet given about the 1212 Ghost by Frauscher, but accept a two berth cabin with facilities below, and performance inline of forty knots plus the Austrian boat builder usually delivers.

New Model: Galeon 400 Fly

Galeon has in early 2020 launched its new 400 Fly model.  Another model of what the Polish builder calls its fourth-generation family, the 400 Fly is one of the smallest flybridge cruisers to offer the innovative beach mode. Designed by Tony Castro the 400 Fly offers maneuverability and stability on the waves, while the interior comes in a few possible modern variants, with additional options available upon request.  Below deck, the guests will find two full-sized cabins, one of which, the owner’s cabin, is situated in the aft. Two separate bathrooms offer extra comfort to the guests. All the cabins allow the guests full standing height and additional storage space, ideal for longer cruises.  The 400 Fly dynamic shape is a clear extension of Galeon’s characteristic design, with large windows merging with the hull form under acute angles. The upper deck is accessible by a comfortable staircase. The flybridge, the yacht’s entertainment center, puts a minibar and a helm at the disposal of the guests and crew. It also comes with a table and sofa that can be easily converted into a sunbathing area. The aft cockpit provides functional and well-planned space, with the sofa and table convertible into a sundeck.

Wellcraft Grounded in Malta

A Wellcraft Excel sport cruiser of about eight meters in length finished aground on Saturday 5 July afternoon, after breaking free from its swing mooring in Qawra, on the island of Malta.  This resulted in the cruiser being carried by the strong winds and currents of about thirty knots, for about a nautical mile from its swing mooring berth in Qawra, and finishing aground in the Salina area.  The Wellcraft Excel sport cruiser stood in the scene for a few days as its position, made salvage operation rather difficult to make.

The Wellcraft Excel in the picture is a 26SE model produced from 1996 to the end of the nineties.  The 26SE features a four berths, two plus two interior, and was powered by a single engine with stern drive propulsion.

Project: Delta 21m

Newport-based MCM has been appointed as owner’s representative for a 21-metre express cruiser to be built by custom shipyard Delta Marine in Seattle. The Express Cruiser designed by Doug Zurn of Zurn Yacht Design for an experienced client will be powered by twin Volvo 1000hp with IPS pod drives with Dynamic Positioning System for a top speed up to 38 knots.  When going through the yard selection process, MCM looked at shipyards in the US, Europe and Australasia, but finally settled on Delta Marine as one of very few custom Superyacht yards left in the US. An added advantage was that Jack Jones, the company founder, had started out in the sixties as a composite builder of high-speed pleasure craft.  Yacht designer Doug Zurn in Massachusetts is well known for his classic New England style and the 21 meter traditional inspired down East express displays traditional exterior lines and an interior decor based on a contemporary take of raised and fielded mahogany wood joinery with white wainscoting details.  The classic styling, however, disguises a thoroughly modern and lightweight hull construction using infused epoxy, E-glass and Corecell/Airex for a displacement at half load of just over thirty tonnes. Comfort at anchor and under way are provided by Seakeeper gyro stabilisers and Humphree interceptors with active stabilization.  The owner will use his new yacht for cruising and fishing with family and friends, and to this end the aft deck has a modular design to fulfill both functions. Below deck there is accommodation for six guests in an ensuite owner’s cabin and two cabins with shared head.  The hull and deck tooling is currently underway at the shipyard and completion is envisaged for the second half of 2021.

Cranchi New Web Site

Cranchi celebrating 150 years in boat building presents its new World wide web showroom. Cranchi was founded official in 1870 with the story starting with Giovanni Cranchi who in 1866 opens a workshop in Como building fisherman and transport boats on commission, and four years later to this he registers officially this company. In 1932 the grandson of Cranchi also named Giovanni purchases a building in Brienno, Como on the lake shore and transforms it into a shipyard. This step leads into 1952 when Cranchi and his children devote themselves to wooden boats mass production. But the real turn around for Cranchi comes from fourth generation Aldo in 1970, who partners with Tullio Monzino, moves to shipyard to nearby Valtellina and starts fiberglass production in the new establishment in Piantedo, Sondrio. This move produces the first Kiko model, and leads after this to various over one thousand delivered models; 1971 4.85 Pilotina, 1974 20 Rally, and the 1997 34 Zaffiro. The plant in Piantedo also continues its expansion and in the eighties expands to 20,000 squared metres, and again today at 33,000. Other sites are also added; San Giorgio di Nogaro Marine Test Center in 1997, San Giorgio di Nogaro 22,000 square meters factory, a third plant in Colico, Lecce, and last in 2005 the opening of Seventy Plant 4 dedicated to plus fifty feet yachts in an area of 100,000 squared meters of which 25,000 covered located in Rogolo, Sondrio. In all these plants Cranchi today produces a total of fifteen models from the entry level E26 Rider, to the Settantotto 24 meter flagship launched in January 2020. Cranchi's new website takes you around with the following buttons; Home, Yachts, Company, Services, Events, Dealers, Pre-Owned Boats,  and Contacts. Cranchi is also located on all major social hubs; Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, Pinterest, and Linkedin with link buttons at the top right of the entry page taking you directly to the social media pages.
