Yacht Columbus Sport Hybrid 40m: The latest reports from the Palumbo Shipyard in Naples, Italy demonstrate that the 40m Columbus Sport Hybrid Project is progressing at a rate of knots. With the all-aluminum hull and superstructures now all but complete, the focus of attention is turning toward the interior fit out, conceived by Hot Lab Yacht & Design in Milan in conjunction with the shipyard and owner.
Yacht Jongert 3200P: Our favorite feature is the direct access to a private terrace from the owner's suite and an aft bulkhead that will be built predominantly out of glass, providing immense sea views and an abundance of natural light. This is a theme that runs throughout the yacht, with tall vertical windows below decks providing light and views to guest staterooms, while the upper deck superstructure features full height glazed windows. At the stern, the yacht's twin helm stations dominate the spacious main deck cockpit, which is intended to integrate entertainment and navigation functions, enabling guests to feel close to the action, if they wish.
Yacht Columbus Sport Hybrid 40m: In line with the green theme of the yacht, all the woods selected for the Columbus Sport Hybrid 40m are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified to ensure eco-sustainability while the leather, selected from a by-product of the meat industry, is treated with a special non-toxic water painting process. With further details emerging of the interior layout, we can see a fully equipped bar serving the cockpit and salon on the main deck, while the forward portion of the salon features a dining area with eight covers.
Yacht Miss Tor 40m Schooner: This 131' (40m) steel schooner is currently in-build at the Orucoglu Shipyard in Turkey. With a superstructure more commonly associated with a motor yacht than a sailing schooner, she boats impressive interior volume, with a living space in excess of 1,640sqft (500sqm). On her twin 450hp MAN engines alone she is capable of a 14-knot cruising speed, while her three masts will provide sound sailing performance despite her 165 ton gross tonnage.
Yacht Columbus Sport Hybrid 40m: On the upper deck the relaxing atmosphere is enhanced by two huge sofas, more than 55" deep Romano tells us, chosen from the Diesel collection by Moroso. Being the first in the Columbus range from the mighty Palumbo Group, we look forward to inspecting her fully on launching. In keeping with the environmentally responsible ethos of the lightweight hybrid yacht, Hot Lab has revealed that where possible environmentally sustainable materials will be used in the interior.
Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: This yacht has 410' mast and 137' boom. The UK design firm Dubois Naval Architects unveiled design proposal for a remarkable 101m sailing sloop in early 2012. By the beginning of 2013, the contract had been sold and construction was due to start as INVICTUS went to print. It is the firm's largest yacht to date, and will be the largest sloop-rigged sailing yacht in the world upon completion.
Yacht Miss Tor 40m Schooner The views over the yacht's wake from here are sure to be impressive. A large bathing platform completes the yacht's amenities, and her designers appear to have left room in the tall transom for a tender garage that could double up as a beach club, although this has not been confirmed by the Orucoglu Shipyard. With several decades experience building leisure yachts, Miss Tor is the brand name under which the yard, part of Orucoglu Holding one of the well-known leading groups of Turkey, produces their yachts.
Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: Despite a displacement of 2,000-tonnes, she will draw just 13' (4m) with her keel retracted. For blue water cruising, her keel will increase her draft to almost 40' (12.8m), providing additional stability beneath her 410' (125m) mast. To put the height of this vessel's mast in perspective, the Statue of Liberty's torch is 305' (93m) high, while the famous Big Ben clock tower in London stands 315 (96.3m) tall. If that doesn't impress you, consider this: Dubois' 331' (101m) sloop will feature a 137' (42m) mainsail boom - that's longer than the total length of most sailing super yachts.
