Saxdor unveils ‘closed-open’ flagship
SHARE
The Finnish brand continues its rapid expansion with the dramatic unveiling of its 460 GTC in Hall 1 at Boot Dusseldorf.
Saxdor staged the world premiere of its flagship 460 GTC at Boot Dusseldorf, where the 47-footer with a 13ft 6in beam took pride of place along one side of the Finnish brand’s seven-boat display in Hall 1 in Messe Dusseldorf.
The yacht is powered by three Mercury Verado outboard engines – 300hp V8s, 350hp V10s or 425hp V10s – with top speeds reaching up to 50 knots. Top configurations also offer the advanced Fathom® e-power system from Navico, with Saxdor the first boatbuilder outside the US to adopt the integrated lithium-ion auxiliary power management solution.
The aft cockpit can be arranged with a sofa to port facing a foldable, high-low table and L-shaped sofa to port – or with a large sunbed above the optional aft cabin. In both cases, a barbecue, multifunction passerelle and a second helm station are available as options.
The yacht is distinguished by its enclosed, full-beam wheelhouse, which can transform into an open-design layout due to sliding doors on both sides as well as aft, where a half-height window can also be opened.
The saloon can further open to the elements through an opening sunroof and two long drop-down sides, which are the biggest in their class and even able to support the option of a hammock supported by screw-in poles, as shown at Boot Dusseldorf.
The wheelhouse includes a starboard dinette with a foldable, high-low and seating on three sides. A retractable aft-facing TV sits within the cabinetry aft of the triple-seat helm station that features the wheel to starboard and a sculpted, low-profile dashboard that can be configured with up to three 16in Simrad displays.
On the port side of the wheelhouse is an inward-facing sofa and the galley. Forward is access to the foredeck through an innovative two-part door, in which the upper section can lift and slide into the roof, enabling the lower section to hinge open. The foredeck includes seating on three sides around another adjustable table.
On the lower deck, the standard layout offers a master cabin, bathroom to starboard, and a twin guest cabin midship. An aft cabin and second head are among options. The interiors are finished in a light, airy palette, linear cabinetry, and soft lighting.
Saxdor is represented across Asia-Pacific by DCH Marine, which also represents Sunseeker and Williams Jet Tenders.
