Wally offers new range of cruiser-racers

July 28, 2022
2:22 pm

The first wallywind 110 is under construction, while 130ft and 150ft models are also part of the new collection.

Wallywind110 racing

Wally has unveiled the new wallywind series of sailing boats, which range from 110ft to 150ft and “aim to completely redefine the possibilities for owners interested in blistering performance allied to long-range cruising comfort”, according to the Ferretti Group yard.

Building has begun on the first unit of the wallywind110, which is scheduled to be launched in May 2024. The project reunites Wally with naval architecture by Judel/Vrolijk & Co and will sport a full carbon hull along with the builder’s simplified sail-handling system.

Wallywind110 cruising set-up

Stefano de Vivo, Wally’s Managing Director, said: “The wallywind110 is the equivalent of the Grand Touring car in the automotive world. It is a very powerful yet smooth long-distance cruising machine, but one that could become a serious challenger in a race.

“The boat is ideal for an experienced sailor, maybe someone who has had boats in the 60-80ft range and is now willing to make the jump to the 100ft size range to get the extra comforts.”

Social cockpit

Luca Bassani, Wally’s founder and Chief Designer, said: “The 110 is a true hybrid because it offers the volumes and comforts of a deckhouse yacht, but with a flush deck that offers the spirit and the performance of a racing boat.

“The raised bulwarks disguise the fact this is a raised saloon yacht, with the engine room beneath the floor. That means all the advantages of the layout, without the compromised aesthetics.”

Performance deck layout

Besides the full carbon lay-up, there is a high-performance carbon rig and the choice of three keel types: a fixed 4.5m keel, a 3.95-6.1m telescopic keel or a high-tech 4.5-6.8m lifting keel. The boat has a 40 per cent ballast to weight ratio.

Other technical highlights include the use of lightweight lithium-ion batteries and auxiliary equipment, multiple high-pressure hydraulic pumps for redundancy, and a low-profile twin rudder set-up. The wallywind110 also features Wally’s underwater anchoring system and Magic Trim hydraulic system for the main and jib sheets.

Cruising deck layout

The huge 80sqm cockpit is on a single level and fills the full beam of the boat, up to the deep, safe bulwark – there is no coaming. The twin carbon wheels and the crew companionway are fixed; otherwise, the layout is completely customisable, with seating and dining for up to 15 people among options.

The removable deck furniture harks back to the heyday of big yacht racing. Every seat, sunbed, lounger and table can be removed and kept ashore to ready the wallywind110 for racing.

The main saloon

There’s a large tender compartment beneath the deck, capable of housing a boat up to 4m long. This keeps the transom clear for swimmers, where a hydraulic bathing ladder can completely retract into the hull.

With the engine room tucked away below the saloon, the interior offers an open-plan space that combines dining, lounging and even working. A single skylight runs the full length of the low-profile coachroof, while hatches and hull windows combine offer further natural light and views.

Aft view of the saloon

Numerous layouts are possible for the owner’s cabin forward including walk-in wardrobes, separate his and hers bathrooms and relaxed seating. There are up to three further guest cabins, plus two more for crew and a further captain’s cabin. The owner can choose the finish, with Wally proposing a sporty whitewashed wooden interior with lots of carbon detailing.

The wallywind130 is suited to an owner with experience of boats around the 100ft mark, but who wants a little more space. It has a deckhouse offering a true raised saloon area that spans the divide between indoors and out.

Potential office or studio

The wallywind150 is in full carbon-fibre, so offers a real advantage in light airs. Where other boats need 12 knots-plus of wind to hoist the sails, the wallywind flagship can do so in just 6-7 knots due to its exceptionally light displacement.

De Vivo said: “The 130 and 150 are clearly for owners who wish to take long cruises in any sea in the world, on a boat that offers not only comfort and a high degree of service, but also exceptional performance. They are therefore passionate about sailing and the sea.

Owner’s cabin forward

“The boats will also appeal to young people who want performance and who really connect with
Wally’s brand values.”

Custom Line developing flagship Navetta 50

July 28, 2022
1:59 pm

The Ferretti Group superyacht builder is set to begin construction on a new aluminium flagship designed by Filippo Salvetti and ACPV.

Custom Line will present the Navetta 50 in 2024

Custom Line will begin construction of the first Navetta 50 at the end of the year, with the sub-500GT aluminium yacht joining the Ferretti Group brand’s displacement line and expected to be presented in 2024.

The design is a collaboration between Filippo Salvetti for exterior styling, Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel for interior architecture and decoration, Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Department led by Piero Ferrari and the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard Engineering Unit.

Filippo Salvetti handled exterior styling

The yacht has a length of 49.9m and a beam of 9.6m. The beach club is in direct contact with the aft outdoor area on the main deck, which is fitted out as a private lounge. These two exterior spaces are integrated by a rectangular pool in the stern.

On the sun deck, the outdoor area in the bow can be used as a lounge and for refreshments, and can be customised with a Jacuzzi and solarium, while there’s over 70sqm of interior space reserved for the dining area and American bar.

The master suite

The master suite is in the bow on the upper deck, has floor-to-ceiling windows offering a 180-degree view and has access to a large private terrace in the bow, complete with sunset solarium. There are four guest cabins on the lower deck, so there’s accommodation for 10 guests and nine crew including the captain.

Custom Line says the use of aluminium rather than steel reduces consumption by about 10-15 per cent compared to a 50m boat of the same size and volume. Hull one will also be SCR ready (Selective Catalytic Reduction).

The sun deck

In Ancona, the Ferretti Group Superyacht Yard itself has a trigeneration plant producing electric, heat and cooling power, which reduces the consumption of electricity by up to 79 per cent and heat energy by 32 per cent, with annual primary energy savings of 20 per cent.

Groupe Beneteau developing electric powerboats

July 21, 2022
6:06 pm

The French-owned conglomerate has partnered with Vision Marine Technologies to develop electric outboard powerboats, starting under the Four Winns brand.

Groupe Beneteau has launched a partnership with Vision Marine Technologies to develop and market “100 per cent” electric outboard-equipped powerboats. Vision Marine Technologies’ high-power outboard motors will be integrated on several models across Groupe Beneteau’s brand portfolio as part of the collaboration.

Erik Stromberg, Groupe Beneteau’s Power and Motor Yacht Product Director, said: “After the construction and thorough testing of a first, jointly developed prototype in early 2022, the objective is to bring to market a 100 per cent electric boat and propulsion package. The key to electrification is to have a full analysis of the customer use case. Many of the boats in our portfolio fit perfectly with a 100 per cent electric solution. This solution is complementary and fully compatible with our other propulsion packages.”

The Vision Marine E-Motion™180hp powertrain system has a battery capacity of 70kWh of continuous power, making it suitable for day boating. The initial commercial offering with Groupe Beneteau will be launched under the Four Winns brand, with deliveries available in spring 2023. The technology will also be rolled out by other brands within Groupe Beneteau.

Alexandre Mongeon, co-founder & CEO of Vision Marine, said: “We are honoured to have the opportunity to power the Four Winns boat with our E-Motion™ 180E technology and look forward to a long-standing partnership with Groupe Beneteau. We continue to showcase our technology and rig the E-Motion™ powertrain on numerous third-party boats to formally move towards scaled production of our E-Motion™ technology for commercial usage.”

In March, Groupe Beneteau launched the Delphia 11 with electric propulsion for boating on inland waterways and lakes. At the Cannes Yachting Festival in September 2021, it presented the Excess 15 hybrid sailing catamaran.

Grand Soleil making its mark in Hong Kong

July 21, 2022
5:13 pm

Asia Yacht Services has recently sold multiple Grand Soleil sailing monohulls and Seawind sailing catamarans from its portfolio of brands, while also working across brokerage, charter, sailing instruction and much more.

Grand Soleil 44 running

Asia Yacht Services (AYS) has delivered a Grand Soleil 44 to its owner following a multi-stop delivery from the Cantiere del Pardo shipyard in Italy to its new home in Hong Kong. Specified in the Race version, the Hong Kong-based yacht is among three recent Asia-Pacific sales for the GS 44, along with orders from the Gulf of Thailand and Sydney.

A recent arrival in Hong Kong, the GS 44R named Wild Card is the first of two Grand Soleil sailing yachts scheduled to arrive in 2022 through Asia Yacht Services, which was appointed as the brand’s dealer for the city last year. Available in a Race or the standard Performance version, the GS 44 features deck and interior design by Nauta Design and naval architecture by Matteo Polli.

Wild Card was commissioned at Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and is now moored at the club’s Shelter Cove facility in Sai Kung. The owner had new sails made and plans to use the GS 44R for cruising and racing.

Grand Soleil 44 cockpit

With a 44ft hull, an overall length of almost 48ft and a beam over 14ft, the GS 44R is designed as a performance sailing yacht and offers a range of ‘go-fast’ options available to optimise under ORC or IRC, as the model proved in her first full racing season in 2021, having launched the previous year. Wild Card is also equipped with a genset and air-conditioning package to cope with the heat and humidity in Hong Kong and other destinations in the region.

Bart J. Kimman, Director of Asia Yacht Services, said: “The owner of Wild Card is happy and the commissioning was a smooth process with the support of the professional team at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club.

The spacious cockpit on the GS 44R is a delight for any racing crew and she will be a thrill to helm. Wild Card also includes a genset/ aircon package to provide comfort while cruising, whether it’s for a weekend in Mirs Bay or at an exotic anchorage in the Philippines.”

Grand Soleil 42 Long Cruise running

AYS has also sold a GS 42 LC that’s scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong in late 2022. From the builder’s Long Cruise line, the GS 42 LC also features a Nauta Design deck and interior, while naval architecture is by Marco Lostuzzi.

The yacht has a 42ft 4in hull, an LOA of 45ft 4in and a beam of 13ft 8in and is available with a range of options including sailing rig, cockpit arc, two or three cabins, electric winches and genset/aircon.

Interior of Grand Soleil 42 Long Cruise

Founded in 2004, AYS represents Grand Soleil and J/Boat sailing monohulls, Seawind and Nautitech catamarans, Corsair trimarans and Bavaria sailing and motor boats, while it also offers brokerage, charter, maintenance and other specialist services.

As well as the Grand Soleil sailing yachts, AYS has sold three Seawind catamarans comprising two units of the 1370 (45ft) and one of the 1160 (38ft), each with long-range cruising in mind. The popular 1370 has a 25ft beam and is among the newest models from company, which has built over 800 catamarans.

“We still have some options for 2022 and early 2023 for delivery of sailing monohulls in the 40-45ft range and sailing catamarans between 44-46ft,” Kimman says.

Rob Partridge

As well as its partnership with J/Boats, AYS cooperates with Rob Partridge Racing to promote the J/70 one-design class in Hong Kong and design tailor-made training programmes for new cruising and racing boat owners. AYS’s own J/70 sport boat is used for classes and to provide a platform for racing clinics, with multiple courses available.

AYS has sold multiple brokerage yachts including a DeFever 44 trawler motor yacht, which the new owner cruised to Phuket after a journey through Philippine and Indonesian waters.

“The second-hand market is large but diverse and we have a premium selection of pre-owned yachts, all thoroughly inspected before being offered for sale. We have small one-design racers through to serious offshore sailing yachts,” Kimman said.

J/80 class racing

“When buying a pre-owned yacht, there’s always a ‘to do’ list once you own the yacht. We help you organise this list and manage and supervise the relevant refits with the best subcontractors.”

Through its subsidiary My Yacht Moments, AYS also charters its own fleet of sailing catamarans and has also booked clients on some luxury charters in the Mediterranean and Indonesia. Furthermore, the company’s superyacht support services have been reactivated due to requests from yachts set to visit Hong Kong.

For maintenance, AYS can help owners develop programmes or manage the whole programme. “This takes away the hassle and gives owners more happy hours on the water,” Kimman said.

Dinnteco lightning protection

The company has also been appointed as the Asia distributor for Dinnteco lightning protection systems, which use proven and patented technology endorsed by the likes of NATO and are “must have equipment for any sailing yachts staying in (sub) tropical waters”, according to Kimman.

Meanwhile, since last year, AYS has been the operating partner of Delta Marina and Express Service, a multi-mooring facility in Hei Ling Chau off the south coast of Lantau Island. Delta Marina is facilitating the sale and maintenance of up to 600 new Marine Department-approved moorings for yachts up to 70m.

AYS operates Delta Marina and Express Service in Hei Ling Chau

“Our professional team are all passionate watersports lovers, so we know what it takes to enjoy your time on the water,” Kimman said. “We’ll advise you on the selection of the right boat for your needs and assist you with the purchase. More importantly, we’ll arrange multi-level training to get you and your family or team familiar with operating, cruising or racing your boat – and can even help find you a mooring.”

Powerful SeaCat 74’ launches in Thailand

Powerful SeaCat 74’ launches in Thailand

July 21, 2022
4:48 pm

Thailand’s SeaCat Ships has launched a custom-designed SeaCat 74’ power catamaran named Reef Inspector, with the design offering potential for customised layouts and décor.

SeaCat Ships has completed the SeaCat 74’ Reef Inspector, a new high-performance aluminium catamaran with a top speed of over 30 knots. The twin-hulled motor yacht custom-designed by SeaSpeed Design was launched at Ocean Marina Yacht Club in Jomtien, south of Pattaya on Thailand’s eastern seaboard.

“The SeaCat Ships and SeaSpeed Design teams have been busy at work finishing and testing this state-of-the-art, high-performance catamaran, so we’re really proud to present Reef Inspector,” said Paul Birgan, Director of SeaSpeed Design and Design Manager at SeaCat Ships.

Having successfully completed sea trials, the yacht was scheduled to drive on her own hull from Pattaya to her new home in Cairns in Australia’s northeast state of Queensland. The four-deck yacht is fitted out for scuba and snorkelling trips including in the Great Barrier Reef, hence the name Reef Inspector, and includes a dive compressor and scuba gear.

The vessel is built in accordance with Australia’s National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) criteria, both Class 1C for up to 80 passengers and five crew during the day, and Class 2B for 12 passengers plus four crew overnight. The hull and deckhouse are built to Lloyd’s Register SSC standard for offshore operations.

Built in aluminium using deep-vee hulls, the SeaCat 74’ is based on a proven hull by SeaSpeed Design, which specialises in aluminium powercats. Features include a slightly raked bow designed to increase the waterline length.

Boasting an overall length of 22.3m (73ft) and a beam of 8m (26ft 3in), the powercat is both a long range yet very powerful cruising catamaran. Fitted with twin 800hp Volvo Penta D13 inboard diesel engines and Volvo Penta IPS 1050 drives, Reef Inspector delighted the shipyard in sea trials when she confirmed an expected top speed of 30 knots and a fast cruising speed of 25 knots.

Yet due to an efficient hull design, the SeaCat 74’ consumes just 46 litres per hour at its economical, long-range cruising speed of 10 knots, which combines with a large fuel capacity to give an extended range of over 3,000nm. Reef Inspector has 13,000 litres of fuel in two 5,000-litre tanks and two 1,500-litre tanks.

“She is very fuel efficient, cutting though the water with great sea keeping and a low wake motion. She’s based on a proven design, while the slightly raked bow also helps ensure a high-performance hull,” Birgan said.

“SeaCat 74’ is an expedition catamaran and ideal for luxury offshore cruising, yet she’s also suitable for VIP day and overnight charter operations. On Reef Inspector, the exterior finish is fully faired and painted professionally to give a sleek motor yacht look.”

Reef Inspector’s layout includes three decks with air-conditioned indoor areas as well as a sun deck. The main deck has an enclosed lounge that can convert to a four-berth cabin, as well as a dining area next to a large, custom-built aluminium galley.

The deck also has three VIP cabins, each with a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom. The aft deck has a large, covered outdoor dining area as well as dive bottle storage, a davit and a dive tender.

The upper deck has walk-around sides, an aft deck with seating for alfresco dining and a large forward area featuring a jacuzzi, which can be covered and converted to a large day bed. The interior includes the main helm and a lounge area featuring a large daybed/sofa on each side of the central staircase.

The sun deck has an outdoor helm and an area for both deck chairs and solar panels. Equipment includes a Kohler diesel generator, 600-litre watermaker and 600-litre sullage tank.

“The SeaCat 74’ model can be custom designed to suit a broad range of customer requirements,” Birgan said. “SeaCat has a range of aluminium catamarans built on proven hulls up to 42m (135ft), so we’re starting to look at diversifying into the private ‘motor yacht’ market with more customised, luxurious interiors.”

Boat Lagoon Yachting announces sales surge

July 21, 2022
4:28 pm

Southeast Asian dealer Boat Lagoon Yachting has reported record sales in the past two years including a strong demand for 70ft-plus luxury motor yachts.

Southeast Asia’s first Princess X95 was sold in Thailand

Boat Lagoon Yachting has announced sales of 85 luxury yachts in two years, with new yachts representing 42 of the transactions from mid-2020 to mid-2022. Boat Lagoon Yachting was founded in 1994 and operates in Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Maldives.

Vrit Yongsakul, Group CEO of Boat Lagoon Yachting, said, “We have represented Princess Yachts for 27 years across five countries, and this has been one of the strongest couple of years.

Vrit Yongsakul, Group CEO of Boat Lagoon Yachting

“Sales have surged, driven in large part by our base of loyal customers upgrading to bigger boats, and their referrals of friends who seek the service assurance of a long-standing local dealership. About half of these new yacht sales were to existing clients.”

Vrit said 30 of the new yachts sold were upwards of 70ft, showing a strong trend for larger models. Sales in this size segment have included six units of the Princess Y85, while this year’s sales include two units of the British builder’s flagship X95 and the first hull of the upcoming Y95.

BLY secured hull one of the Princess Y95

“Singapore and particularly Thailand are countries where word-of-mouth and long-term relationships are the keys to success, and this has helped Boat Lagoon Yachting secure more than 75 per cent market share of new 55-100ft yachts sold and manufactured by a global brand,” Vrit said.

“Having sold more than 90 new boats in this size range in recent years, we are fortunate to have a family of owners who are ready to move to larger yachts. At the same time, the amazing new designs in the range are helping to attract an increasing number of new boaters into this exciting activity.”

Jeanneau Yachts 55 to debut at Boot Düsseldorf

July 21, 2022
3:35 pm

Philippe Briand and Winch Design have designed the Jeanneau Yachts 65, which includes lounges aft of the two steering stations and private access to the guest cabins.

The cockpit features lounges aft of the wheels

After the recent launches of the Jeanneau Yachts 60 in 2021 and new flagship 65 this year, the line will once again be renewed with the launch of the Jeanneau Yachts 55, which will be revealed at Boot Düsseldorf in January 2023. Like the 60 and 65, the new 17m model with a 5m beam features design by French naval architect Philippe Briand and an interior by London-based Winch Design.

The aft cockpit is entirely dedicated to relaxation, with lounge areas aft on each side, one U-shaped and one L-shaped, including tables and bench seating that convert into a full-beam sunbed. There’s also a large retractable hydraulic swim platform.

Philippe Briand designed the hull

The forward cockpit, dedicated to handling, features twin steering wheels and winches within easy reach. This space, which can be entirely covered by a hard top, is equipped with an exterior chart table and protected by a wide windscreen. There’s also private access to the two guest cabins, as well as the main companionway to enter the saloon and owner’s suite.

The flush deck features integrated wraparound side decks, which are slightly inclined and facilitate movement around the perimeter of the cockpit. For long offshore cruises, in addition to a wraparound windscreen, Jeanneau has offered a hard top – with the option of solar panels – that fully encloses the forward helm and a bimini to shelter the aft living space.

Winch Design handled the interior

To starboard, a large galley faces the L-shaped saloon. Forward is the generous owner’s cabin equipped with a large berth to the port side, multiple storage compartments and a dressing table. An optional skipper cabin can be added forward of the en-suite bathroom.

Aft, the two guest cabins with private access from the deck each have a double berth and en-suite bathroom. Cabins are appointed with fine woodwork in light oak (or teak) and dark floorboards (or light). Details include leather-wrapped door handles, wood by Alpi, a refined door design, ceiling treatment and indirect lighting in the owner’s cabin and saloon.

Aft view of the galley and saloon

The hull has a draught of 2.45m (or 1.95m with a shallow draught) and a choice of two riggings: classic or with a furling mast. Owners can also choose between a self-tacking jib or a classic genoa. A code 3, for crosswinds of between 15-20 knots of true wind, can be secured on the bowsprit, while a bow thruster and stern thruster can help short-handed manoeuvres.

France’s Prestige and Jeanneau, and Germany’s YYachts also plan global debuts at Cannes, while superyachts are among displays by UAE’s Gulf Craft and British builder Pearl.

Custom Line 140’

Ferretti Group has announced that it will stage five world premieres at the 44th Cannes Yachting Festival (September 6-11), while Gulf Craft, Pearl, Prestige, Jeanneau and YYachts have also announced their line-ups for the six-day show.

Ferretti Group’s world premieres include the Custom Line 140’ and Ferretti Yachts 860, while Riva debuts comprise the 102’ Corsaro Super76’ Bahamas Super and the Anniversario, created to mark the brand’s 180th anniversary. The Group expects to display over 20 yachts at Vieux Port, where all the motor yachts are on display.

Ferretti Yachts 860

Gulf Craft will show a Majesty 100 and will stage the European debut of the Majesty 120, which had its world premiere at the Dubai International Boat Show in March and is reviewed in YACHT STYLE Issue 66.

Mohammed Hussein Alshaali, Gulf Craft’s co-founder and Chairman, said: “As Gulf Craft continues its year-long 40th-anniversary celebrations this year, we are very much looking forward to returning to this year’s festival which has become a highlight on the international events calendar for the yachting community.

Gulf Craft Majesty 120

“With the European debut of models such as the Majesty 120, we are continuing to grow and expand Gulf Craft’s footprint in Europe and offer a broader line-up of our composite-built yachts to our European customers.”

Pearl Yachts will show its flagship Pearl 95 along with its bestselling Pearl 62, while Prestige will premiere its first power catamaran, the M48, along with the European debut of the X60, smaller sister of the groundbreaking widebody X70 that showed last year.

Prestige M48

Erwin Bamps, Brand Director of Prestige, said: “Our customers’ expectations extend to multihulls. Prestige owners cruise with their families and, for the majority, without crew. They particularly value the feeling of spaciousness afforded by the 360° view in the saloon, the extraordinarily bright interior, the optimal design of the owner’s cabin, and ease of handling of our yachts.

“Today, our buyers want more luxury, space, and comfort. High cruising speed is no longer a demand – stability is, on the other hand. These have naturally pointed us to the catamaran. With this platform on the water, Prestige renews its promise to realise the dream of living on your own private island.”

Jeanneau DB/43

Jeanneau, Prestige’s sister company within the Groupe Beneteau stable, will be staging world premieres at both Vieux Port and Port Canto, which again hosts all the sailing yachts and catamarans.

In Vieux Port, Jeanneau’s world premieres include the DB/43 luxury ‘day boat’, which like the Prestige M48, is the first model in a new series. It will also debut the Merry Fisher 1295 Fly, the new series flagship, alongside the previous Merry Fisher flagship, the 1095 Fly.

Jeanneau Yachts 65

Its premieres also include the Cap Camarat 10.5 CC, one of five Cap Camarat models on display along with the 9.0 WA, 9.0 CC, 10.5 WA Série2 and 12.5 WA.

Port Canto will host the world premiere of the flagship Jeanneau Yachts 65 along the Jeanneau Yachts 60, Sun Odyssey 490 and Sun Odyssey 410.

YYachts Y9

Also in Port Canto, YYachts will debut its Y9, a 27.40m Bill Tripp design featuring an interior developed by Norm Architects in cooperation with Design Unlimited and YYachts` in-house design team. The German builder of carbon sailing yachts will also display a new Y7.
