In Moscow, Russia, the second Timmerman 40M motor yacht came together, literally. The hull and the superstructure were mated for the first time and made one permanently.
The hull was made from steel and the superstructure, aluminum in the general way for optimum balance once she hits the water. The proceedure was done using cranes to maneuver the aluminum superstructure inline with the steel hull.
This proceedure is usually a very delicate one and can not be rushed. In an industry where million dollar yachts are the norm, the lifting process is taken very carefully and seriously.
This Timmerman 40M, once finished will have a maximum speed of 12.5 knots. A cruising speed of 10.5 knots is expected and an enormous range of 4,000 NM.
Accomodation wise, the Timmerman 40M will house 10 guests. These 10 guests can be spaced in 5 cabins, 2 persons per cabin. A crew of 7 will service the yacht and the guests and be accomodated in 4 cabins below deck.
Finally, this particular model will be constructed to match the stipulations of
Det Norske Veritas (DNV) and the MCA. The hull of this vessel has already been coated but she is still a while off from launching.
