Update: Tankoa 69-meter superyacht

Tankoa Yacht 69-meter superyacht update​

A big change has come to one of the superyachts currently under construction at Tankoa Yachts in Italy. Hull C.102 is the 65-meter that is in build and originally had a launching date for September 2011. However, the said yacht is being extended significantly.

She is expected to go from 65-meters to 69-meters in order to house an expansive beach club in the aft part of the hull. Additionally, a large area of specially designed glass to MCA code will be built to draw natural light into the beach club and provide views outward.

The design of the Tankoa 69-meter remains by Francesco Paszkowski. The accommodation for the guests will be slightly in non-traditional areas with the five double guest staterooms being situated on the main deck and not the lower deck. The sixth stateroom belongs to the owner and that is going to be located on the upper deck.

She is dual classed, RINA/Lloyd's (MCA LYC2). Her top speed at half load at 65-meters was to be 16.5 knots. With the lengthening and the same CAT 3516B DITA engines her range will still be around 5,000 nautical miles at around 12.5 knots. High tensile steel was used for her hull and aluminum for her superstructure. The new owner will have a totally customizable interior. She is expected to carry two 7.20-meter tenders for guests. There will also be a crew tender of 4.20-meters. With the lengthening, it isn't surprising that her delivery date is pushed back to 2013.
