The New 58M Slipstream

At 58M long, she is just as large as the m/y Netanya 8- CMN's previous largest yacht- and intends to set heads array. Once launched, she will be a sight to behold. The yacht in question is the new 58M Slipstream. The Slipstream will be built to a design of Andrew Winch and Naval Architecture by the CMN team.

Here is a brief physical description of what she should look like. The Slipstream is to have a metallic black hull and colour with black draught. The superstructure is to be a silverish to offwhite colour which highly contrasts the dark hull and windows.

The sundeck is to be spacious encompassing the top deck of the Slipstream. A bold hardtop stretches not forwards but backwards, providing an abundance of shade and cool areas to relax. Forward of this is the sizable Jacuzzi, which is bounded by comfortable and inviting sunpads. This area is semi- sheltered with a slightly forward sloping windbreaking glass/screen.

Comming down one level, the Slipstream is to feature lounging and sunning areas just forward of the bridge with large sunpads. The bridge will feature large vertical glass windows, perfect for navigational views. One can make their way aft by using either the port of starboard exterior passage.

One more level takes you to the main deck where in the fore castle, one may find skis and seating as well as the machinery for docking and anchoring. Farther aft from here, the owner's suite is to be present, probably a full beam configuration may materialise. Stern seating areas can be accessed from the exterior walkways and the main saloon through the aft sliding doors. Far atop the yacht will sit the main mast. Bold and black it will feature two radar arrays and three satcom and telcom domes. Just a few of the standard technologies aboard luxury yachts today.

The CMN yard have highlighted that the 58 M Sliptream is indeed on course for the intended launch.

"The yard is now ready for the launching this summer of the 60m motor yacht Slipstream, result of a fruitful cooperation between CMN Yachts and Andrew Winch Designs."

They have even changed up the colours in their logo. It is now a nice royal blue!

Well all I can tell you is that the yard confirmed a launch in the Summer of 2008. That is anytime now. Besides that welcome to YF foxteldyl.

Yes I have been hearing about these delays as well. Seems pretty consistent because I was told early 2009. Alternatively, I was only going by what CMN had. They had 58-meters (57.70-meters), review the early statistics.
