i hope you'll represent your boats on one of the german boat shows!

Edit:
i was searching for further boats in the range of 25-40, but in your threads aren't some...could you post 'em here?

Here are the smaller boats;
http://www.yachtforums.com/forums/ya...-design-4.html

"We" are a sales organisation in Stockholm with retailers in Greenland, Norway and Russia (St Petersburg). The boats are today produced in Finland (25´) and Estonia (32´and 40´). This is a very modern facility which is already producing high quality sailing boats for Arcona and Nautor-Swan. So with the new assembling hall the capacity will soon improve and new models are in the pipeline...

This means that our export may increase in a couple of years from now and Germany is one of the most interesting markets we are looking at then.

Next boatshow where we are showing all three models will be indoors in Stockholm March 2-11.

I was asked if I had any big "open" in my portfolio and in the context of open as in soap designs, I had not. So I made a counter proposal of an open with a more classic design, still pretty innovative.

She is 45 meters and the whole maindeck is enclosed, with an open aft deck and flybridge on top.

The stern is pretty high and is hiding the biggest garage you have seen, partly on maindeck with surrounding windows so you can use it for a party when all the toys are launched.

Forward on main deck is a cosy full beam salon and further forward the owners cabin (under the bridge). Below are four guest cabins and forward is the crew area.

On the bridge deck is a large lounge with floor to ceiling windows including dining area and galley as well as a spacious bridge with observation area.

The transom is folding down to a beach and to launch the tenders there is another hatch going up. This whole area outside/inside will be high enough to not cause any risk if water should go in and thanks to the big side windows also far from the cave feeling of other yacht garages.

When all is closed, the yacht is better protected from unwanted visitors than those with open stairways from the platform...

On the fore deck is space for sunbathing, jacuzzi and sofas so she has a lot to offer if you like to have an "open" yacht without the high maintenance exterior of a soap design...

Propulsion and speed requirements are still to be determined.

Normally I'd blink a lot at an open with a Portuguese bridge. But this works well with that vertical front window. Pretty cool Lars

i'm not more impressed - i'm speechless....
could you show the layout, so we can see how you mean it with "biggest garage you have seen" ?

this is the best yacht after my all-time favourite, the DC 66 (in tread one of your designs)

wow!

Sorry Jannick, but I have not yet completed the GA. The garage covers a surface of 100 sqm and is 3 m high! Then there will be corners used for gangways and tools to lift the toys, but still plenty of space for all the fun.

A built in Shadow boat if you like...

Propulsion will most likely be diesel-electric with azipods and generators fitted under the forward part of the garage.

Back to the production boats, the hull of the coming 29-footer will soon be cut out by the CNC-robot. This is the final renderings on this commuter based on the same design concepts as the 25´and 40´. The central steering position, passengers forward and the sliding moonroof from the 25´, fitted in a smaller version of the 40´hull and with a "Sidewalk" solution for easy access over the bow. She can also be used as a weekend cruiser for a small family.

[AMG]

This boat is coming closer to reality and I have looked into a rigging with selftacking jib and no fixed backstays so a high and wide mainsail can be used. This is especially good in our archipelagos where the wind is playing around between the islands. The interior is a two cabin, one head, with limited headroom in the forward cabin as the only compromise...

[brunick]

hi lars, what about the D29, is it already launched and if yes, do you have any pictures of it running and interior ?

[Kevin]

Lars, is that G38 designed for production?

[AMG]

Jannick,

the D29 will be launched in November if we are lucky. Production of the plug for the hull will start this week, I made a few corrections to the bow shape last week.

Kevin,

this G38 is one of two alternatives, the other is more traditional and the producer has not yet decided which one is the right to launch. I would like to see this one, as the market is already flooded with Bavarias and similar family boats....

I think I like this design better, without having even seen the other. I really like the lines of some of the higher-end Hanse models, and your G38 design seems to be leaning in that direction.

[AMG]

Yes, it has some lines similar to Hanse who are producing good value for money. This boat however will be in another quality league, like a Swan or better and priced somewhere in between the two...

[brunick]

wow - realy nice to see, i just read over the date you wrote when it's goning to be launched - it was this year so i was in the wrong year.
what is this little step in the hull made for?
i just wonder, the 40 footer has it too...and is it just an image or is a 3d programm on your desktop?

oh and are you going to build the 100 foot venetian too? (background)

[AMG]

The stepped hull has two advantages, it reduces pitching for a better comfort, meaning it keeps the bow levelled even when flying between wave tops.
It is also for lubricating the aft part of the bottom with air. By going straight and high with a small wetted surface, the speed goes up, fuel consumption down and the range is improved.

The hull rendering is from the 3D-files as seen in a program where I can rotate it to see it from any angle.

The Venetian is still just a decoration on the wall...

[AMG]

The plug for the D29 hull is now ready and just need to be sprayed and polished before we can make the mould. Soon the deck plugs will be built the same way, it is amazing to see the design going from your computer to full scale in a couple of weeks...
