Sea Axe Fast Support/shadow

Yacht News · 05-08-2012, 04:07 PM

News is that a 50-meter Sea Axe by Damen/Amels is now listed for sale through SuperYachtsMonaco. This is "Umbra" that I am speaking about.

"Garcon", the first Sea Axe 67-meter hull 6711, should launch sometime soon I am not sure when but based on the fact that she is slated to attend the 2012 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) which is in September I would assume she will launch late July into August maybe?

I've been told, reliably that "Garcon" may arrive at the Flushing based Damen yard from the Gorinchem yard for trials on the 7th and 8th August.

I think I prefer the version you posted in July. Is it the blue stripe? Or the pilot house? Or just the angle?

The differences are in the design and size. Garcon is the 67 meter version with a much different deck design and carrying capacity than the smaller 37 and 50 meter models. The Amels site gives greater detail.

Go to http://www.amels-holland.com/ and then click on the link for "Sea Axe" for more.

I agree, and it is the blue stripe. Also the wheelhouse does not have the black trim as the rendering.

Another thing I am surprised to see is the bow wave they seems to create, like Umbra in the first post and here Garçon;

You know, I really do like these vessels, but I think what is missing is a proper garage to store the tenders (especially if you have a full time helicopter) as opposed to leaving them exposed to the elements....maybe that I why I like the YES! ships a good deal more...just my opinion of course

Cheers,

I am sure lots of people will not agree with you! Nothing against YES! but if the yacht carrying the helicopter doesn't have a garage, in fact hardly any of the yachts that have helicopters and pads to carry them, have garages. "Eclipse", "Serene", "EcstaSEA", "Bart Roberts" had one and one or two others. However, most have them out in the open. Funny enough, "Luna" is the toy carrier/yacht support and Eclipse is the one with the garage for the heli!
