New features Guard 2008

We have already been able to see a good number of new features in the last boat shows France, many of which concentrate in the average and high lengths confirming the tendency of the market towards the great sailboats

We did not try to offer an exhaustive list of all the models that we will be able to see in this next season, but of the most interesting and outstanding models. We know some them.  

OCEANIS 37: The important Bénéteau shipyard completes its new Oceanis range with this model of 11.1 meters of designed length this time by Finot. He will be available in version of 2 or 3 cabins and with keel of 1.4 or 1.9 meters of openwork. The front doors will be again pivotantes as in the other new models of range and their interiors they will be the responsibility of the Italian designers of Nauta.

ELAN 410 and 450: Elan 410 already was presented/displayed in the past hall D5usseldorf. This model of 12.27 meters of length of the Slovenian shipyard is truly a new model for this next season. Its inner design is innovating with details very taken care of. His Humphreys designer has known to halfway remove to an interesting commitment from character between regata and the fast cruise. The mast supports on a deep keel of 2.1 meters of openwork happening through the interior next to the table of the hall. The bathtub is abierta and emphasizes its great wheel of rudder carbon black. In the interior 3 cabins have get ready.

Elan 450, the major of the range of regata, culminates the process of redesign undertaken by the shipyard: open and ergonomic bathtub, cleared cover and a great length of floatation are elements already characteristic of the same. Available with 3 or 4 cabins, it emphasizes the amplitude of the one of the shipbuilder, to prow, with complete cleanliness. Esthetic the modern one of all the set comes determined by the use from wood with horizontal vein, that can be replaced by the traditional theca like optional. In cover, new Elan 450 counts on double rolls, retractable table in the bathtub, space of rammer for overturns antirociones, car of major in bathtub, 3 pairs of winches, cleats leveled in the cover, packs for the life raft…

GRAND SOLEIL 54: Designed by Luca Brenta, with the collaboration of AttivoCreative Resource, and Mauro Sculli, that during years worked for Wally, the Grand Soleil 54 represents the essence than it defines to the shipyard: “a classic contemporary”, with values like style, innovation, benefits and quality, all this together with the own tradition of the mark and that is shown in the design. Everything in the outside of the Grand Soleil 54 breathes the air of a Maxi, seal unmistakable of its designer, a style that also in the interior is novel thanks to the use of the same theca that in cover.

DEHLER 34: A member more for the family of sailboats German, designed by Simonis and Voogd. A sailboat with an excellent careening and cover with open and regatera bathtub. 9.38 meters of length and an important openwork of 1.95 meters.

In the interior two double cabins have been anticipated all this scenery with wood clear to obtain a very luminous effect.

HANSE 320 and 350: New sailboats German of 10.5 and 9.55 meters of length that probably will reap much success as it already happened the past year with his brothers of range. Again designed by Judea and Vrolijk with very straight prows and careenings of good benefits. They emphasize like in other autovirantes models his foques. The interiors are very capable of being delimited to the taste of the shipbuilder

DUFOUR 425 GL: Designed by Humberto Felci and Patrick Roséo, the lines of the helmet augur great navigations. The helmet is stratified by hand in polyester/fiber glass with weave reinforcements of Aramida in the zone of keel and gelcoat NPG like optimal protection against osmosis. The cover is realized in sandwich raft by infusion. The anonizados aluminum mast with two floors of crosspieces is prepared 15/16 on cover. The greater account with two bands of curls and sabers and the boat are given with Genoa for coiler with solar protection.

The North Wind 72 Custom has been created from the careening of the North Wind 68 designed by Sparkman & Stephens. The helmet has been not only extended until reaching the 20.60 ms of length, but their outer and inner volumes have modified for, by means of that new geometry, to obtain one more a ampler stern where to lodge the wished auxiliary boat. The inner decoration is marine but modern cradle in the lacquer combination gray-Rep it and wood of American walnut with selected beta.

34 BAVARIA 31 and Cruiser: Bavaria presents/displays east year two new sailboats, 31 and 34 to cruiser with an aspect slightly renewed especially in its windows of cover. The mirror of pivotante stern will allow the entrance in the bathtub of comfortable form and to turn it into a good zone to accede to the bath in the sea.

Without being properly new features, many models “have refreshed” his look or have improved in some aspects thanks to the advice of previous shipbuilders or to interesting initiatives of the shipyards. For example First 21.7 now with more inner volume in exchange for losing its cameras of insubmergibilidad. The RM880 constructed in plywood-epoxi has renewed their interiors remarkably. Now SunOdyssey 32 happens to take the new name of 32i-Performance, with a game of improved candles, riggings in Dynema, and helix in duck tip.

The sailboats of Poncin Yachts, Harmony 31 and 52 have been redesigned to remove to the market their new Elagance version in whom the aluminum profiles disappear and other details that improve their inner aspect. Only two years after its launching to the market, Cantiere of the Brown presents/displays a new version of interiors for the Grand Soleil 43, a redistribution that provides more amplitude to the zone of hall. The shipyard offers a new option with the kitchen, originally located to band against ample dinette, in the form of L and located to starboard, right to stern of dinette, whose sofa has modified to surround one more a ampler and drop-down table. In this case, a letter table happens to be longitudinal, to port, with a sidewalk that can be used to accommodate one more a person when the great table is unfolded, practically to all sleeve. The distribution of the cabins, two to stern and the one of the shipbuilder to prow, is identical in the two versions, as well as the location of both toilets
