Oceanco's NEW Y702!
Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, the Y701, which has received extensive build coverage by YachtForums, Oceanco is proud to unveil the NEW Y702! Another cutting-edge creation by the dynamic design duo of Nuvolari & Lenard, the Y702 is slated to splash in the summer of 2007.
Although there are striking similarities between the two 700-series yachts, there are dramatic differences in features. The 702 upholds the bold, angular look of its sooner-to-be-built sibling, but with smoother contours and some refined design elements. It’s not surprising the 701 would have a successor; the design has been so well received it prompted at least one owner to build another.
At first glance, the 700’s look so much alike, one might wonder if Oceanco was building production superyachts, but these are very different builds. The most distinguished difference is the Y702’s new heli-pad...
The new Custom Line 97’...
A new line of the Custom Line fleet is born! After the success of the Custom Line 94’ that saw a total of 21 units sold in six years, this brand has announced the debut of the new Custom Line 97’ for the 2005-2006 season.
This 29.5 meter planing hull is an evolution of the Custom Line 94’ and keeps many of the fundamental characteristics that made it a success. The vessel is a result of the ongoing co-operation between the CRN shipyard and the Zuccon International Project Studio that plans the Interior and Exterior layouts. Significant refinements has allowed an interior layout of four sizeable double guest cabins below deck, one more than the Custom Line 94’.
The new 97’s incorporate windows into the hull, so that each guest cabin has a large oval glass panel from which the guests can appreciate the surrounding sea. Underwater lights are provided as a standard feature to enhance this experience at night...

Broward’s “Soulmate”, the grand finale’ of the Denison-designed 20’ beam boats, carries a distinct badge of honor; her hull has been the foundation of nearly 40 yachts dating back to the late 1980’s and benefits from the continuing refinement of an already well-proven platform.
Under the command of Broward’s new owner Tom Lewis, many of Broward’s original management and craftsmen are back in business, embracing the company’s recent resurrection and new direction...

In the summer of 2004, Oceanco began construction of an 80-meter yacht, code named “Y701”. This magnificent yacht is a collaboration between Oceanco and the design firm of Nuvolari & Lenard. YachtForums is proud to bring you complete construction pictures of this fantastic new build.

Folding keels come in a wide variety of shapes and configurations, but all have up until now shared the same problem of being a trade-off between the convenience of being able access hitherto inaccessible shallow anchorages and harbours, versus the problems associated with the highly complex engineering needed to operate the lifting mechanisms and a loss of internal accommodation space.
First shown at the Monaco Yacht Show 2005, the Scissor Keel™ from Humphreys Yacht Design typifies their solutions-led approach to the design of superyachts. Humphreys took as their brief the twin objectives of designing a lifting keel that firstly would present no danger to the yachts in the event of catastrophic failure, and secondly would not take up valuable accommodation space within the hull of the yacht...

If “Vitruvius” looks like it's missing a mast, it's because Philippe Briand has concentrated mainly on sailing yachts in the past. Working in conjunction with Lurssen yachts, his experience in designing sailing yachts is about to be transformed into a 180' - high speed, high efficiency motoryacht.
Built of Alustar, Lurssen’s “Vitruvius” will reach a top speed of more than 20 knots with cruising speed of 18 knots. As a by-product of its reduced weight and optimized hull, fuel consumption will be 50% less than a conventional yacht of similar size...
