P70 Motoryacht Delivered by Spirit Yachts
Spirit Yachts recently delivered their motoryacht flagship, the 21.7-meter/71.6-foot P70. The yacht was built in wood largely and skimmed with a thin layer of epoxy resin. Constructed using Sapele ring frames to which Douglas fir longitudinal strips were bonded, the P70 build followed the same core processes of Spirit’s sailing yacht hulls. Once the initial structure was complete, diagonal layers of kaya wood planking were laid down, sanded and vacuum infused with a thin layer of epoxy resin. The method saves some weight compared to a similar sized vessel built of traditional GRP...

One of their newer projects currently under construction is an 18-meter sportfish boat made from carbon. Dennis Harjamaa of Artnautica Yacht Design is responsible for the design of the yacht. Propulsion is via Volvo Penta IPS system ( 2 x VP D11 IPS 800 625 hp each )which is compact enough it creates space-savings on any yacht it is installed on. In the case of this 60-foot sportfish, it frees up the volume under the pilothouse instead of being an engine room. This space is then used for tankage, storage and mechanical equipment needed to be self-sustaining for long periods...

The owner of 62-meter superyacht "Voice" has taken delivery this week. The 62-meter vessel was under construction at CRN as CRN137 and features both exterior and interior design by Nuvolari Lenard. Since delivery the yacht has made it to the heart of the Mediterranean where it is enjoying its maiden voyage. One of the notable features about this yacht visually from the exterior is the vertical bow.

Van der Valk 30-meter Explorer Design
Dutch yard Van der Valk and Guido de Groot have teamed up on a 30-meter design for an explorer type yacht which essentially looks nothing more than a pocket megayacht. The term explorer should be utilized lightly here but the agility of this vessel should be noted with spritely speeds using a fast displacement hull. Her overall looks have been kept to a minimum thanks to a low profile lending to a sleeker appearance. She doesn't rise much higher than two decks with the navigational area being of the raised pilothouse configuration. It also allows for ample space on the sundeck above which has a secondary navigation station, bar, al fresco dining, grill, space to lounge as well as space for the tender towards the aft of this deck...

The design of the 24-meter AB80 is quite different from previous AB Yachts that were launched therefore making this one standout significantly. The design is actually by ACube Design...

55-meter Codecasa "Framura" Launched
