BMT Nigel in collaboration with Henry Ward (a recent design graduate who came up with the concept) has designed a 33-by-26-foot (10-by-8-meter) supplemental beach you can take anywhere. Not only does it float wherever you want it to (you can tow it with a tender), it folds into its own purpose-made crate, which fits in the garage.
Feadship has launched the 220-foot-8-inch (67.27-meter) Drizzle. The inspiration for this classic yacht was the 2005 Feadship Twizzle, renamed Drizzle by her second owners.
The newest Oceanco, Y707 now known as Nirvana, is undergoing sea trials. Australian designer Sam Sorgiovanni, who designed Anastasia (featured in Yachts International in March 2009), styled the yacht and created the interior.
A modern 216-foot (66-meter) yacht (the ISA 66 Granturismo) is the largest of four new models that ISA (International Shipyards Ancona) has sold recently. A full-displacement yacht in steel and aluminum, she has graceful lines courtesy of designer Andrea Vallicelli. Delivery is slated for 2014.
Among a flurry of activity, which includes several launches and a big step in the construction of its 213-foot (65-meter) so-called FDHF, Heesen Yachts has delivered its largest displacement vessel to date. At 180 feet, 5 inches (55 meters), Serenity represents another milestone for the Dutch shipyard, which in the past few years has built its reputation on all-aluminum fast semi-displacement yachts.
Fuel costs are on the rise again and while this may not be the biggest ticket item in a yacht’s operation, fuel efficiency still is a big deal for both private and charter yachts. In addition to economy, the yachting industry is also looking for ways to be more environmentally friendly and is experimenting with solutions like alternate fuels, hybrid engines and new types of propulsion.
Horizon has launched a 148-footer in its expedition series. The steel and aluminum yacht—designed in collaboration with Florida-based J.C. Espinosa, St. Petersburg-based Marine Technology Development for naval architecture and interior consultant Birgit Schannse—is being built to ice class.
Flagship Marine Group’s founder and president Rafael Barca, who has ample experience representing European shipyards on this side of the Atlantic, sees Astondoa’s diverse production as perfectly suited for the experienced American market. He was very impressed with Astondoa’s facilities, production capability and other virtues.
Irwin Jacobs and Jean-Paul Dejoria, who invested heavily into Marquis and Carver and created J&D Acquisitions announced a new joint venture with a large multifaceted government-run Chinese group called Poly Technologies, Inc.
