Copasetic, at 141 feet (43 meters), was built in 2006 in Canada. She is a proven high-endurance world cruiser combining the character of a commercial research vessel with the luxury of a private yacht. A global range of 8,000 miles enables journeys to remote and exotic locales, all of which can be viewed from the open-air dining on the main aft deck.
Built by Feadship in 2007, Gallant Lady was the first Feadship to include lightweight aircraft materials in the interior construction to ensure efficiency, lighter weight and a shallow draft suited to her owners’ intended cruising area. While the onboard systems boast numerous technologically advanced components, one of the first things you notice are the yacht’s signature windows.
Florida-based Newcastle Shipyard made headlines (and our cover) with the launch of Harbour Island in 2011. This 180-foot (55-meter) yacht is sleeker than her expedition sisters, but she shares their long-range ability and impressive credentials.
Rasselas, a 203-foot (60-meter) De Vries–built Feadship delivered in 2005 has only had two owners and has never been chartered. She boasts a classic mahogany-paneled interior with fine detailing and craftsmanship and traditional John Munford classical style with pillars, niches and cabinetry.
With styling by Tim Heywood and an interior by Redman Whiteley Dixon, Baton Rouge is a six-deck full-displacement yacht with every conceivable luxury. This 205-foot (63-meter) yacht includes multiple salons and dining areas, both inside and out, as well as accommodations for 12 guests in seven cabins including the 1,076-square-foot (100-square-meter) master suite.
Once an Olympic-class sailor, the original owner wanted this yacht not only to be a classic and comfortable expedition yacht capable of braving the toughest seas, but also to be a real tool in the fight against global warming.
Will this be the year of the trimaran? The recent delivery of a tri-hull project in China made quite a bit of noise throughout the yachting industry and other three-hulled projects are in the works. Yacht designer Guido de Groot has been working with Mobimar in Finland to develop a yacht application for the trimaran that the shipyard is building for commercial use.
Kaiserwerft and Voith are unveiling an exciting new propulsion system at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. An evolution of Voith’s extensively tested and proven inline thrusters and propulsion systems used on numerous ships, this new compact magnetic propulsion system, which does away with the gearbox and conventional shafts, could be a game changer for large yachts.
Nordlund Boat Company currently has three motoryacht projects underway at its shipyard in Tacoma, Wash. Earmarked for delivery to American clients, all three have naval architecture by Ed Monk and engineering by Tim Nolan.
Fabrizio Di Carne, CEO of Wave Boats LLC and FDC-Designs, spent two years developing the design and engineering for the new Wave F55. The result is an innovative 18-foot tender that is also a sporty driver’s boat.
