Innholdsfortegnelse for January 2021 i Yachting

WHISTLEPIG in Vermont has released the Boss Hog VII: Magellan’s Atlantic. The limited-edition rye whiskey ($499) is aged for 17 years in American oak and then finished in rare Spanish oak, followed by a second finish in South American teakwood casks. The name is inspired by the first recorded circumnavigation. ¶ “We have experimented South American teakwood on just a handful of barrels in the past, and both this and the new Spanish oak are uncommon in the whiskey world,” says Meghan Ireland, WhistlePig’s maturation chemist. “It’s been the least predictable and most intensive edition of the Boss Hog to date, but well worth the trials and effort.” ¶ Each bottle comes in a gift box with a collectible pewter topper depicting Ferdinand Magellan as a pig in traditional Spanish…

TAKING IN THE profile of the Sanlorenzo SX112, it’s almost hard to focus on just one of the many elements working in concert to create this hybrid expedition-flybridge-motoryacht model. ¶ There is the ax-style bow, helping to split snotty seas and carry internal volume forward, resulting in space for a three-stateroom layout with a master and two VIPs, as well as a lower-deck lounge that converts to a fourth stateroom. There are quarters for five crew too. ¶ The SX112’s reverse-angled superstructure has an expedition look, seemingly leaning into the ocean, daring it to come forward. That superstructure has nearly 360 degrees of sole-to-ceiling glass, connecting guests inside to the sea from almost any location. The glass also visually lowers the yacht’s profile. Comparing the lengths of the superstructure and…

THE DESIRE to build boats and explore distant horizons is one of humanity’s oldest pursuits, and the drive to innovate increasingly better craft and technologies has an equally time-honored heritage. Each year, Yachting celebrates trailblazers who have made significant impacts on the boating world. Please join us in raising a glass to the class of 2021. HABIB DAGHER When boatbuilders craft glass-reinforced plastic yachts, the work typically requires a significant investment of time to build the molds and lay down the fiberglass matting, core materials and resins. Habib Dagher of the University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center took a decidedly different approach to boatbuilding: He turned on a bespoke 3D printer. ¶ Dagher and his team spent several years searching for a company that could build a 3D…

IN DECEMBER 2018, Susie Goodall and DHL Starlight, her Rustler 36, pitchpoled and dismasted. The boat was in 60-knot winds and massive seas some 2,000 nautical miles west of Cape Horn, Chile, during the singlehanded, nonstop, around-the-world Golden Globe Race. Goodall was thrown across the cabin and knocked unconscious. ¶ When she came to, Goodall activated her EPIRB and made satellite-phone contact with race organizers, who called the telemedicine service Medical Support Offshore. MSOS then began monitoring her situation and providing direct medical advice until Goodall was rescued by a cargo ship. ¶ Her story exemplifies the unvarnished reality that when maritime calamities strike, telemedicine is often the only way of getting care. Provided, of course, that one has the technology and service. ¶ Telemedicine’s history parallels the rise of…

60' LENGTH OVERALL 35'1" MAXIMUM BEAM Sunreef has announced its newest model, the 60 Sunreef Power Eco. The power catamaran will have more than 738 square feet of solar panels covering the yacht’s hull sides, superstructure and curved areas. Sunreef says its panels, which the builder produces in-house, generate 13 kWp and have a peak performance of 24 percent. The Eco’s solar panels weigh about 3.96 pounds for every 10.7 square feet, while the builder says many competing solar panels are far heavier. As with most things on boats, the reduced weight translates into better overall performance. Accommodations are for 12 guests in six athwartships staterooms, with room for four crew in two cabins forward. Stay tuned for more. READER FEEDBACK Looking for photos and yacht news?

24'11" LENGTH OVERALL 8'7" MAXIMUM BEAM INSPIRED BY BENTLEY: WOODEN BOATS WB27 When the owner of the Sanlorenzo 52Steel KD wanted a custom tender, he turned to Italy’s Wooden Boats. The Viareggio-based builder had just produced a bespoke WB27 limousine tender based on the styling of Venetian water taxis. KD’s owner wanted a tender inspired by the automotive world. The yard produced this WB27, which has fully working taillights taken from a Bentley Mulsanne. The hardtop is built in two sections that can be removed to create an open boat that feels like a convertible sports car. The Mercury Diesel 3.0 TDI engine can reportedly push the hull to a top speed of 36 knots. Inside the guest space, the gray leather upholstery is taken from Bentley’s palette of materials.…

most yachts are designed for a specific purpose, be it longdistance cruising, sport fishing or entertaining. In this regard, Riviera’s 64 Sports Motor Yacht is something of an anomaly. It can do all those things at once. ¶ For owners who want to make their way from Maine to Miami, pulling back the throttles to 6.6 knots will nearly double the range needed. The marlin are biting? The Riviera 64 I got aboard had hydraulic outriggers, a transom livewell and a cockpit large enough for a half-dozen anglers to fight fish at the same time. Cocktail hour has arrived? When I was aboard with eight people, it seemed as if there were a mere skeleton crew. ¶ As for fit and finish, there is five-coat, high-gloss-varnished, book-matched walnut woodwork. Foldout…

WIND-DATA WHISPERER Calypso makes four versions ($230 to $320) of NMEA Connect Plus. The NCP BT0183 lets its Bluetooth-enabled wind meters share data with NMEA 0183 networks. The NCP BT2000 does this for NMEA 2000 networks. The NCP W2000 connects the meters to an NMEA 2000 network, and the NCP HighEnd gateway converts the data into NMEA 0183 sentences, NMEA 2000 PGNs or Bluetooth protocol. Calypso, calypsoinstruments.com MODERN CARTOGRAPHY Raymarine’s LightHouse charts (from $80) are built from official hydrographic data. Users can choose from four color modes (day, dusk, night and super-day) and view cartography as a government-style chart or in recreational-marine view, which is populated with points of interest. The charts deliver continuous updates, a deeper database of points of interest and better satellite imagery. Raymarine, raymarine.com BATTERY MINDER…

TED FONTAINE designed the Surfari 50 sport-utility tender to tackle rough waters en route to surf spots, secluded beaches or weekend getaways. The 52-foot, 11-inch boat’s hull, deck and superstructure are built using e-glass, low-viscosity resin and carbon-fiber reinforcements. Its space-saving, D-shaped sponson tubes are filled with air and foam, and its triple (or quadruple) 400 hp Mercury Verado outboards with joystick control reportedly deliver a cruising speed of 36 knots and a 50-knot top speed. • Whom It’s For: This boat is for adventurous yachtsmen who want to get to the action fast, and for racing teams that need to transfer manpower and materials quickly. • Picture This: Tomorrow morning’s surf forecast looks great for New York’s Montauk Point Lighthouse, but you’re in New York City. No matter: The…

series with larger models, the Italian builder returned to UK-based designer Ken Freivokh, who was responsible for the first Magellano 74 model 10 years ago. The result is the Magellano 25 Metri, a raised pilothouse design. ¶ Freivokh says a length overall of around 80 to 90 feet is a real sweet spot for yacht designers like him because the scale is sufficient to create proper proportions. The 25 Metri’s profile is elegant and timeless, and there’s something of the 1930s streamline moderne movement about it. The similarity could be the boldness of line, the glazing shapes, or perhaps something as simple as the horizontal stainless-steel banding that rounds offthe rim of the wraparound swim platform. Maybe it’s the wooden battens on the after corners of the superstructure. ¶ There’s…

ELECTROSEA’S CLEARLINE system integrates directly into a yacht’s raw-water intake circuit, keeping it free of line-clogging marine growth using a patent-pending electrochlorination system. The system prevents growth in raw-water supply lines for air conditioners, chillers and refrigerators. Installation consists of a control unit, functioning as the system’s brains, and a ClearCell module, producing chlorine using low-voltage electrodes and raw seawater. The control unit monitors water intake and cell conditions to determine the amount of chlorine to produce in the ClearCell. Owners get free-flowing raw-water lines, maximum flow rates and reduced strainer maintenance. ¶ The company did extensive research to integrate Clearline’s critical design and operating details. First, the system had to be dynamic, low-maintenance, user-friendly and mostly autonomous. It also had to be electrically isolated to prevent electrolysis and small…

36'6" LENGTH OVERALL 11'4" MAXIMUM BEAM The hunt harrier 36 has a C. Raymond Hunt-penned deep-V hull, known for slicing a seaway. Construction is an Airex-cored hull, with Airlite in the deck and superstructure, which is vacuum-bagged and oven-cured with E-glass and epoxy resins. ¶ Base power was twin 370 hp diesels. The 36 we ran had 440 hp Yanmar diesels. ¶ Belowdecks has satin-finish cherry wood, a berth forward, a dinette to port, and a galley to starboard with a sink, fridge, microwave and cooktop. A full head is aft. ¶ At press time, two Harrier 36 hulls were on the market, ranging from $328,500 to $335,000. FROM THE ARCHIVE “The 36 busted water at 36 knots. The 36 rose, crested and landed, though, without a thud on the…
