X6 LUXURY SPORTS BUT FUNCTIONAL LUXURY

PHOTO: X-YACHTS

SEDUCE THE MOST DEMANDING

The X6 is presented with a double wheel, built with the same techniques as the range Xp, where its maximum is lightening the weight and has been achieved by 20%.

In this case, this obsession to lighten the weight has led to the location of a fuel tank large enough to make long journeys.

Its hull is of elegant lines, v-shaped sections coupled with a discreet displacement, great stability and an easy-to-handle sail surface make a new cruising race.

Comfortable, diaphanous and easy to use by one or two crew members bring to light all their potential, its design of the superstructure and its many windows is a clean and bright boat where luxury does not go unnoticed but more functional than swanky, With a superb work of carpentry away from those made in series and with lots of space for storage that makes the passengers do not want to get out of it.

JEANNEAU SUN ODYSSEY 519

Design designer Philippe Briand is in charge of Jeanneau's latest project, the Sun Odyssey 519. This model is 16 meters in length (52 ') and can hold three to six cabins inside. On board every detail is measured to the millimeter to join functionality and great aesthetics.

The boat with the largest length of the signature in this range stands out for having an injection laminated cover, which makes it 30% lighter than its segment rivals. All this in a model where they are also very interesting their lines worked of the helmet, with a great aerodynamic throughout and a center of gravity lower than usual.

It has a double steering position in which the whole set of sails is displayed directly, and its control is realized with a team of winches centralized in this same point of the boat. A Harken team that is also used in the rails and pulleys of the boat. In addition, it has a multi-purpose boom, always visible that allows both good navigation and an excellent anchorage.

Inside, it is possible to emphasize the configuration with stays at a single level, without thresholds or steps, the great amount of light that receives from its lateral windows and the comfortable descent to each cabin thanks to its lateral handles and the curved steps. While all artificial lighting is equipped with LED light.

The Sun Odyssey 519 is designed for dynamic navigation, but at all times premium onboard safety. So it equips a keel in L, the best in any performance of navigation, and the safest in stranded. The keel also has side wings that allow a better counterweight to windward. The hull bilge offers stability and a waterline that allows a large volume in the interior.

NEW LAGOON SEVENTY 7

This yacht of more than 23 meters marks an important stage for Lagoon towards a world where luxury and elegance are the key words.      

Lagoon is surrounded by the best designers for the flagship: VPLP, Patrick Le Quément and Nauta Design. All have worked to offer a catamaran where harmony reigns between the interior and exterior living spaces, where there are no commitments, where innovation is at the service of comfort and life at sea. Creating a new model like the SEVENTY 7 within a wide range was a challenge. Lagoon wanted to meet this challenge to respond to the owners in search of another dimension.

NEW B-Z R27 CRUISER AND RACE

I have seen this news of a new boat of design B-Z, and would like to make my comment on what I think of this boat. According to as they comment in the news this boat was designed by the shipyard thanks to the study of the Rioplatense market in Argentina.

The lines and benefits follow the trend of the interesting project "Riachuelo 35". What they said is that they were looking for a boat with greater stability with the advantage of having a flipped keel with a hydraulic system to make it more accessible when it comes to motor sailing and road travel, also wanting to make a competitive boat for regattas.

The interior looks like it will be spacious and very functional to make a life on board comfortable and relaxed for the crew.

The rig has been designed keeping in mind the simplicity of maneuver for reduced crew sailing, bow stay and delayed crossbars.

The main sail square is an optional regatta to make the boat look more competitive and have greater efficiency when sailing.

This design reminds me in its form of the new swan 50, with very similar lines but with a reduced size that allows it to be more accessible to the sailor who wants to enjoy its navigation, so my rating is magnificent since they have got a boat Spectacular with a very small size.

WASZP 

The waszp is a new flying boat that is revolutionary because of its low cost and its fun. 

Waszp is a monotype boat with its own rules, I think it will be in the future the new class with more navigates for its structuring of material since it can adapt the different sails for the characteristics of the sailor, being this these the new class that can Replace the class laser

CLUB SWAN 5O

All racer on deck, this cutting edge design offers comfort down below.
The Club series from Swan is intended to be its cutting edge boats, displaying the very latest in “design trends, materials and solutions.”  The plan is that there will be technological trickle down from the Club boats to the more cruising-oriented boats. Swan considers the new Juan Kouyoumdjian (aka Juan K) design the “cutting edge of contemporary yacht design.” Seems like the company has used all the buzz words, and from the look of the boat, I’d say it was warranted. This is a very exciting looking design.

I like the look of the hull with the reverse sheerline. Reverse sheers go back many years. Ben Seaborn designed several boats with reverse sheers in the 1960s. Laurent Giles designed the very famous RORC racer Myth of Malham with a reverse sheer in 1947. I find the subtle reverse to the sheerline of the 50 to be quite attractive and racy looking. The bow profile is reversed also. I’m not sure I’d call it “wave piercing” but that term is being used almost generically on any bow with a reverse to the profile. 

           

The forward sections appear to be deep and full. There is a chine that appears to start amidships. At the transom the hull flairs above the chine. The sectional shape at the stern is very arclike. The plan view is predictably very wedge shaped with almost no taper aft of beam max. The D/L is 94.33 which I would consider “light” today. The L/B is 3.98. That’s on the narrow side. There are twin rudders. The keel is a steel blade with a lead torpedo and draft is 10 feet 6 inches.  This will be a boat capable of very aggressive performance; as you would expect, considering the design pedigree.

But this is not an all-out race boat. It has the interior layout of a comfortable cruiser for two couples. This layout would not work well for a racing crew. There is a centerline double berth forward. Aft of that the head is split into port and starboard modules with shower and sink to starboard with W.C. and another sink to port. I like this. It means that both spaces are spacious. There are long settees in the main cabin with a coffee table to port and a dining table to starboard. 

           

The galley is dinky. Does leg of lamb come in a can? A tube? Clearly this is a “weekender” layout and little meal preparation will be done on board. Who would cook onboard anyway with all those fabulous restaurants lining the quay? But the main cabin is quite big and with those long settees it should be a comfortable place to hang out. There is a quarter cabin to port with another double berth. Two couples should be able to get by in almost 55 feet LOA.

This is an exciting looking sailplan. The SA/D is a very healthy 32.68. I don’t have actual rig dimensions but I would assume the area listed—1,528 square feet—includes 100% of that mainsail and not just half of E multiplied by P. If the aft end of the boom does not hang over the transom it sure comes close. The drawing shows a lot of rake to the mast. The bowsprit is fixed and nicely faired into the hull topsides. Chainplates are at the rail and jib lead tracks are well inboard on top of the small cabintrunk running athwartships. This leaves the side decks wide open. This is a big and very powerful rig and it’s going to keep Mom on her toes. “More backstay dear. Sheet! Sheet!”

           

The 50 has a very clean deck layout.  The German-style mainsheet leads aft under the deck to emerge at the forward cockpit winches. I think the jib sheets lead to the cabintop winches, but I can’t quite tell from the renderings. (Designers, please send me actual design drawings. These renderings are driving me nuts. I want accuracy, not ambience!) There are twin wheels just aft of the short bench seats in the cockpit. The main traveler is right on the edge of the transom.

           

Imagine cruising for the weekend in this boat with another couple.  You’ll be chasing down boats to pass all weekend. I don’t think that ever gets old. But I suspect it won’t be long before a ClubSwan 50 hits the racecourse. It would sure turn some heads on Puget Sound.
