Beneteau’s Flyer 8 offers options aplenty

December 29, 2022
12:54 am

The French builder’s new models launched in 2022 include the Flyer 8, available in Sundeck or Spacedeck versions and with a range of options.

Sundeck version of the Flyer 8

Able to reach 40 knots, Beneteau’s new Flyer 8 sits in the middle of the French builder’s outboard dayboat range, above the Flyer 6 and 7 models, and below the Flyer 9 and 10. Like the Flyer 6, 7 and 9, the 8 is available in a Sundeck version with a roomy cabin or a Spacedeck version with an open deck plan, suitable for fishing and water sports.

The Flyer 8 is equipped with Groupe Beneteau’s Seanapps system, so the owner can see the status of the various systems (battery charge, fuel or water tank levels, maintenance schedule) from their smartphone, but also plan routes and examine their navigation.

Guests can walk around three sides of the engine

Michael Guinet, Outboard Powerboat Manager at Beneteau, said: With the Flyer 8, we are pleased to unveil the spirit that now filters through the Beneteau dayboat range. The Flyer 8 is already popular for its comfort but now goes the extra mile, whether it’s a question of space on board, practicality or the protection of the people on board.

“However, we wanted to do more and offer a beautiful, eye-catching outboard-powered boat. Working with the Andreani Design team, we made the Flyer 8 much more than a boat for having fun at sea. It now stands out as a beautiful, spirited boat.”

The aft bench can fold down to become a sunpad

Climbing aboard is made easier by the flush design of the two swim platforms and the clear area forward of the engine, which makes moving around easier and enables access to the sea.

The cockpit has an aft bench that converts to a sunbathing area, two removable benches in the port and starboard freeboards, while the driver’s and co-driver’s bolster seats swing around to create a lounge for six people. There are large storage spaces and three lockers under the soles.

Cabin in the Sundeck version

The Flyer 8 Sundeck is a combination of the innovations introduced on the recent Flyers. Among these, the walkaround design provides access to the spacious foredeck and its sun pads with reclining backs, a new feature.

The Sundeck version has a spacious cabin with a large berth and openings for ventilation, while the galley fittings have been entirely revisited and it can now be accessed from both the inside and outside. The yacht has a separate head, ventilated by a porthole.

Spacedeck version of the Flyer 8

The Spacedeck version is more suited to people who love sports, such as fishing, and day trips with friends, so the deck plan is flush and practical. The lowered pulpits are a real plus for access to the sea, while it also has a very large anchor well that doubles as a diving board.

The foredeck features a cleverly designed lounge with facing seats that can convert to a sunbathing area, while the new rotating backrests make a forward sea view possible underway. There is a head and refrigerator in the cabin and a berth that would suit a child.

Options on the Flyer 8 include substituting the aft bench with a fishing station with a fold-down bench included, a live bait well, two storage lockers and five additional rod holders. Other options include an aft tow arch, ideal for water-skiing or any other towing activity, while a sunshade can be attached to the rigid T-top.

Azimut confirms four models for Boot

December 28, 2022
7:59 pm

The Italian builder’s four models in Hall 6 will include the world premiere of the S7, featuring an exterior by Alberto Mancini and interior design by Yachtique.

Azimut Magellano 66

Azimut will stage the world premiere of the S7 at Boot Dusseldorf (January 21-29), where the Alberto Mancini-designed 71ft sport fly will be among the brand’s four models at the world’s biggest indoor boat show.

The Italian builder will exhibit in Hall 6 at Stand D58 with a lounge designed by Milan-based architectural firm AMDL Circle, led by Michele De Lucchi.

Azimut Fly 78

The display will also feature the Fly 53 and Fly 78 flybridge motor yachts, also by Mancini, with the former model featuring an in-house interior and the latter enhanced by Achille Salvagni’s sophisticated design.

The show will also include the Magellano 66, which boasts a second-generation Dual Mode hull by the Azimut R&D team with Pierluigi Ausonio Naval Architecture (PLANA) and is the entry model for the long-range Magellano Collection.

Azimut S7

Mancini designed the exterior of the S7 following his work on the S8 and Grande S10, while the earlier S6 features a design by the late Stefano Righini. All four models feature naval architecture by Ausonio.

However, the S7 is notable as the Azimut’s first sport fly model to feature an interior by Yachtique, with Francesco Guida responsible for the other three models in S series.

Azimut S7

The S7 joins Azimut’s Low Emission Yachts, with improved fuel efficiency due to a compact IPS triple propulsion system and a hull designed by Azimut’s technical team, in partnership with Volvo engineers.

Azimut says such features reduce fuel consumption by up to 30 per cent at medium and high speeds, while the use of carbon-fibre in the superstructure also helps reduce overall weight and increase volume.

Azimut S7

The S7’s generous layout includes a main deck designed around outdoor and indoor lounge areas and a spacious galley, while a large lower deck features five cabins and a garage for two water toys.

Azimut is represented in Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong, Singapore and Taiwan by Marine Italia.

New Models 2022: Sailing Monohulls

December 23, 2022
6:03 am

In the concluding part of the series, YACHT STYLE highlights new sailing monohulls from the likes of Swan, Beneteau, Jeanneau, Grand Soleil and Dufour.

Beneteau Oceanis Yacht 60

Oceanis Yacht 60 was among Beneteau’s premieres at the Cannes Yachting Festival and heads the French builder’s new sailing models in 2022. Designed by Italians Roberto Biscontini and Lorenzo Argento, who also collaborated on the First 53 and Oceanis Yacht 54, the brand’s new sailing flagship is distinguished by notable features including a master cabin in the bow with a forward-facing bed.

Beneteau First 44

The same design team are behind the Beneteau First 44, a cruiser-racer that was also revealed at Cannes. Based on a 43ft 2in hull with a beam of almost 14ft, the First 44 is offered in standard and Performance versions with an overall length of 46ft 5in and 48ft 1in respectively. The Performance version offers a different deck plan and options for keels and masts (aluminium or carbon).

Beneteau First 36

The shipyard’s first new sailing yacht of the year was the First 36, which premiered at the Palma International Boat Show and exhibited at Cannes. The yacht has received rave reviews for its performance, the result of an international design team including Argento, naval architect Sam Manuard, Slovenia’s Gigodesign for the interior, and New Zealand’s Pure Design & Engineering.

Jeanneau Yachts 65

The Jeanneau Yachts 65 (click for Review) is the French builder’s new flagship, the model appearing a year after the 60 and ahead of the upcoming 55, all three models designed by Philippe Briand and Winch Design. Like the 60, the 65 offers numerous semi-custom options, including a hard top with sliding sunroof.

Swan 55

Nautor premiered its Swan 55 at Cannes, a year after debuting the Swan 58 at the same show. Another Swan design by German Frers, the 55 has a 54ft 6in hull, an overall length of 58ft 2in and a beam of 16ft 5in. The model is offered in a performance set-up, which includes a square-top mainsail and bowsprit for light weather and downwind sails.

ClubSwan 80 at 2022 Rolex Swan Cup; c/o Rolex

The Finnish builder also launched the first ClubSwan 80, My Song, for owner Pier Luigi Loro Piana. Designed by Juan Kouyoumdjian, the stripped-down racer competed in the 13-strong Maxi class at the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup in early September before finishing third in the Maxi class at the subsequent Rolex Swan Cup. The yacht had its official world premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show.

Grand Soleil GS 72

Italy’s Grand Soleil released its new flagship GS 72 at Cannes, with the model then displayed at the Genoa International Boat Show. The Nauta Design interior features a spacious saloon with sofas on both sides and a dining table to port. Aft is the galley and two twin cabins, while forward is another guest cabin and the master in the bow. The GS 72 is part of the Forli-based shipyard’s Performance line, which is complemented by a Long Cruise (LC) series.

Dufour 37

Other Cannes premieres included the Dufour 37 (click for article), the second-smallest model in the French builder’s portfolio. The 35ft 4in model has a 32ft 9in hull with a beam of 12ft 6in, which follows the form of offshore racing boats but with a slightly rounded lower hull. The 37 is available in three different versions: Easy, with two winches and a self-tacking jib, the more traditional Ocean version, and a racing-focused Performance version with six winches and high-performance equipment.

Beneteau shows e-sailing yachts at Nautic

December 22, 2022
2:06 pm

The French builder showed its focus on sustainability as it debuted the First 44e and Oceanis 30.1e sailing yachts at the Nautic Boat Show in Paris.

Beneteau First 44

Beneteau hosted the world premieres of the First 44e and Oceanis 30.1e at December’s Nautic Boat Show in Paris, with the sailing yachts showcasing sustainability in terms of the construction materials and propulsion systems.

Gianguido Girotti, Managing Director of Groupe Beneteau’s Boat Division, said: “We cannot force our customers, but we can win them over, which is why we need pioneering projects to develop new technologies and prepare the future leap forward. The transition is underway. The whole of the industry will need to change.”

The First 44e is the first production boat to be built from recyclable Elium resin, as part of Beneteau’s exclusive partnership with Arkema. Instead of teak, an exotic wood predominantly produced in Myanmar, the decking is made of Iroko from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified forests in Congo.

The yacht has a Torqeedo series hybrid propulsion system, where two pods are powered by a 20kW battery bank that can be recharged at harbour or at sea with a diesel generator.

Beneteau Oceanis 30.1

The Oceanis 30.1e uses an all-electric Torqeedo pod engine, with a 5kW battery that can be recharged at harbour or by solar panels.The Oceanis 30.1e is designed to be used initially for inland sailing, although Beneteau is considering rolling out the materials and technology used on the two boats on an industrial scale for production models.

Yann Masselot, Managing Director of Beneteau, said: “Reducing the environmental footprint of the nautical industry is a succession of challenges and small steps. Each innovation involves inventing valid technical solutions, creating partnerships and making investments, and, of course, receiving the support of customers.

“A demand for a new style of sailing is emerging. It is our responsibility to pave the way and not to impose changes in the way we sail, but to make them possible.”

Fountaine Pajot debuted its Aura 51 (click for REVIEW), which also features integrated solar panels and is the first model released as part of the La Rochelle builder’s Odysséa 2024 strategic plan.

Custom Line stages 20th launch of high-production year

December 21, 2022
3:44 pm

The Ferretti Group builder has held six launches in the past two months to take its tally to 20 new units in 2022.

Custom Line enjoyed a very productive year

Custom Line recently launched the Navetta 37 Regina, which marked the 20th and final launch for the Ferretti Group builder in 2022. Bought by an American owner, the 14th unit of the popular Navetta 37 model was Custom Line’s sixth launch – all different models – at the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard in Ancona in just under two months, as the builder concluded the year with a wave of activity.

In late October, Custom line launched the 10th unit of the Navetta 30, which features an exterior by Filippo Salvetti and interior by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, and is the smallest of the brand’s displacement models. A Navetta 30 was also the builder’s first launch of 2022 (click for article) and is a popular model in Asia, with four units sold in Hong Kong and one in Singapore.

November 10 featured the launch of the eighth Custom Line 120’, the middle offering in the brand’s planing line, featuring exterior styling by Francesco Paszkowski Design and interiors by Paszkowski, Margherita Casprini and the Custom Line Atelier.

The seventh Navetta 30, Wolfpack, was Custom Line’s first launch of 2022

Six days later, Custom Line launched Our Way, the 25th unit of the Navetta 33, with its American owner in attendance. Two weeks later, on November 30, the builder launched M Together, the ninth unit of the Navetta 42, bought by a European owner. The Navetta 42 is currently the brand’s largest displacement model, with the company now developing the Navetta 50.

On December 13, the 15th Custom Line 106’ planing yacht, My Mistake, was launched, bought by a European owner, before the year’s launches concluded a week later with the Navetta 37 Regina.

“The success of Custom Line is unparalleled. The brand’s superyachts confirm their appeal for owners due to a mixture of unique and distinctive factors, the standouts being innovative onboard technology, excellent performance and sophisticated design,” the builder stated.

“The high level of customisation is the result of strategic contributions by the Custom Line Atelier, which supports the owner in every stage of the process and every decision, with the aim of creating the superyacht of their dreams.”

Dufour 37 widens French builder’s new offerings

December 20, 2022
10:07 pm

The French builder has released its second-smallest model, which follows the release of its acclaimed flagship.

Dufour has released its new 37, which is the second-smallest model in the current portfolio and follows the French builder’s larger new models like the 470, 530 and flagship 61 (click for Review).

The Dufour 37 has an overall length of 35ft 4in (10.77m) and a hull with a length of 32ft 9in (9.99m) and a beam of 12ft 6in (3.8m).

The modern, stable hull follows the form of offshore racing boats, but with a slightly rounded lower hull that “favours her passage through the water, while reducing the sound inside the yacht”.

The new hull form allows for a greater power/weight ratio for this boat, while Dufour says the feel at the helm is improved. In comparison with other models of her size, the mast has been lengthened to give an increased sail area and make the yacht even more powerful.

Like her predecessor the Dufour 360,the Dufour 37 has a single rudder and twin steering wheels with lift-up bench seats and a connecting bench in-between.The model is also available in three different sailing plans.

The Easy version features two winches and a self-tacking jib, while the Ocean version is more traditional, with the sheets positioned on the coamings and the halyard and mainsail traveller manoeuvres close to the helm station, plus more sail area.

The Performance version has six winches, a clew at the bottom of the cockpit and high-performance equipment, designed for pure racing.

The Dufour 37 also has many features seen on other recent Dufour designs such as the plancha grill on the aft deck, as well as fully inflatable cockpit upholstery such as the sunpad on the foredeck.

The hull and deck windows have been enlarged to make the saloon a very bright space. The galley is to port of the stairs, while the saloon features sofas on both sides and a fold-out table along the centreline.

There are two interior layouts available including a two-cabin version has a very large bathroom and a large exterior storage locker, while six berths are possible due to the transformable table in the saloon.

In the three-cabin version, up to eight guests can be accommodated. Both layouts feature a forward owner’s cabin, with Dufour stating that its “size and comfort is rarely found on a yacht of this length”. The interior decor is also available in three ‘Atmospheres’.

The Dufour 37 debuted at the 2022 Cannes Yachting Festival, also exhibited at the Genoa International Boat Show and Grand Pavois La Rochelle, before making its US debut at the United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis.

Owned by Fountaine Pajot, Dufour is overseen in Asia by Kevin Corfa, while Sun Hing Shipyard in Hong Kong is the brand’s North Asia service centre.

Wally adds wallywhy100 to high-volume series

Wally adds wallywhy100 to high-volume series

December 16, 2022
12:49 am

Following the launch of the Wallywhy200 and announcement of the upcoming Wallywhy150, the Ferretti Group builder has revealed the third model in the ‘Wally Hybrid Yacht’ series.

The Wallywhy100 can top 27 knots

Wally has revealed details of the new model wallywhy100, which follows the 200GT Wallywhy200 that debuted in 2021 and the 150GT Wallywhy150, set to launch in early 2023.

The Wally-Ferretti Group Engineering team handled the exterior and naval architecture of the three-cabin Wallywhy100, with Studio A. Vallicelli & C. responsible for interior design of the new ‘Wally Hybrid Yacht’ (why). As a crossover product, the 100GT yacht combines the qualities of a 60-70ft coupé boat with the volume of the Wallywhy design, offering a voluminous cruiser in the sub-70ft range.

Wallywhy100 has a volume of 100GT

A twin D13 Volvo IPS configuration offers a cruising speed of 24 knots and a top speed of over 27 knots with the upgraded IPS1350 engines. A tall, slightly reversed bow ensures a dry and safe ride, while a joystick system and Volvo Penta technology offer an easy navigating experience, making her ideal for owner-operators.

Stefano de Vivo, Wally’s Managing Director, said: “The Wallywhy100 was born from a gap in the market. While beautiful and sleek, traditional coupés do not offer the comfort and liveability that today’s owners expect from their boats, while larger and more voluminous boats generally don’t offer speed or usage flexibility. This leaves owners with a tough choice: do they want to compromise on comfort or performance?

The beach area has fold-out sides

“Through the Wallywhy line, we’ve solved this problem by harnessing all the product and market knowledge we’ve accumulated over the years. Like the Wallywhy200 and Wallywhy150, the Wallywhy100 will be a game changer in many different markets due to its compelling value proposition and infinite usage cases for a wide demographic. In 20 years, the industry will look at the Wallywhy100 as a yacht that dared to be different.”

Forward view of the saloon

The covered main deck area can either be enjoyed closed or fully open to enable relaxed al-fresco dining, while the 14sqm beach area is home to a large hydraulic platform for launching and retrieving tenders and toys up to 3.6m. A hydraulic passarelle/swim ladder ensures easy access both to and from the dock as well as from the water. The beach area is completed by folding wings that increase the space by almost 50 per cent.

The foredeck features a multi-use lounge that can be transformed into an aperitivo area with an elevated table in the middle or into a sunlounge by lowering the table to seating height

Aft view of the saloon

On the lower deck, the full-beam master cabin is located aft. The cabin’s en-suite bathroom is made from electrically regulated glass, so it can be fully transparent to enlarge the room or opaque when in use – a first for a sub-70ft yacht. The master also has wide array of closet and storage, and good views through large side windows.The VIP stateroom to port and the twin on starboard also have en-suites and large windows.

Luca Bassani, Wally’s founder and Chief Designer, said: “The yacht’s appearance is 100 per cent derived from its function. The closed cockpit is pushed far forward to provide space for inside/outside living, which gives the Wallywhy100 an eye-catching, sleek but still aggressive look. This is further emphasised by a large, inviting beach area close to the water

The master suite on the lower deck

“Thanks to its innovative design, the wallywhy100 is a ‘jack of all trades’. It’s a spectacular day or weekend boat for those who want to use it as a support vessel for their larger yacht. At the same time, its ample cabins, generous crew quarters, relaxation areas, and garage and toy storage capacity make it the perfect vacation home away from land. The wallywhy100 is a boat for owners who understand their own needs and aren’t afraid to break the mould.”

Breaking News: Singapore Yacht Show sets sail again!

December 15, 2022
5:42 pm

Asia’s biggest and longest-running boat show returns to Singapore from April 27-30, 2023.

When the long-awaited 10th edition of the Singapore Yacht Show (SYS) was forced to shut down just a few weeks before opening back in March 2020, nobody thought it would have to be postponed more than a few months. Finally, a full three years after the beginning of that awful period, the show can finally go on.

Much has changed on the boating industry landscape in all that time, but it has been a highly positive change. SYS organisers had worked flat out over the whole year following SYS 2019 to promote the 10th edition, and somehow, coupled with the lifestyle changes that were enforced on everyone, all the yacht brands, retailers and brokers alike have had three of their best business years in history – without the region’s main yacht show even taking place.

Going forward, to ensure that the Singapore Yacht Show and its sister events in Thailand and Hong Kong will be sustainable and secure for the future, Verventia’s Andy Treadwell says he is joining forces with all the experienced, respected and professional boat show organisers and marketers in the region.

“It will be a team in which the global industry can have total faith as genuine partners with all the necessary local knowledge, and we will be operating one combined event platform called Asia Yacht Shows,” said Treadwell.

“With the huge amount of interest from many new players as well as from all the long-standing exhibitors, sponsors and supporters of SYS since its inception 10 years ago, the show needs to grow.

“And with our push to get foreign superyachts coming to Asia to cruise and charter, which they can now do legally in Thailand, we are already seeing a big influx of large yachts here, and interest from Asian buyers and charterers is growing fast. The show needs to grow with it. The choice of the best venues for all three shows is still under discussion and will be announced shortly.”
