Introducing New Yachts For 2013

By Aaron Linebarger


Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: The Dubois 101m Sloop is intended to be an agile sailor despite her length and extensive tank tests have been carried out at the Wolfson Unit in the United Kingdom, probably the world's most experienced research establishment with regard to sailing yachts. The 885' (207m) Haslar tank was used with a 1:17 scale mode (19'3"), which confirmed the designers computer-generated expectations regarding performance at speeds up to 26-kmots in a variety of sea states.

Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: Built entirely out of aluminum, Design 380 is 400-tonnes lighter than she would be if built from steel, even when the necessary ballast is added. Her mast and all attendant spars and rigging will be built in carbon fibre and innovative sail-handling solutions will require a total crew of just 22. Josep Juanpere Miret of GCA Arquitectes Associats, a Barcelona-based studio which has designed a number of hotels, corporate spaces, and restaurants, created the yacht's interior designs.

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 Dubois 101m Sloop: In the bow, the yacht's 22 crewmembers will be accommodated in 18 en-suite cabins. An impressive main salon will be located on the main deck, with the superstructure sporting a fetching hardtop. Although a shipyard had not yet been selected at the time of writing, construction was due to begin the second quarter of 2013. Dubois has indicated construction will take approximately two and a half years once a build contract is signed.

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 Miss Tor 40m Schooner Her interior dcor will be one of light colors, with creams and whites reflecting the natural light through large picture window portholes in her hull and huge glazed surfaces in the superstructure, where the salon and dining room form the main living and entertainment space. An expansive cockpit provides a dining area for the yacht's guests, while a sundeck up above features a huge outdoor table forward overlooking the bows, with a Jacuzzi aft.

Yacht ISA's 41m Classic series: The design shows a curve of tinted glass picture windows at the transom, hinting at an attractive beach club area to supplement the semicircular sunpad serving the cockpit above. This positions the tender on the aft terrace of the upper salon, but plenty of exterior entertainment space remains thanks to a generous flybridge, complete with Jacuzzi. The owner's stateroom is on deck and makes full use of the 27'6" beam of wide-body format, while four guest cabins on the lower deck brings accommodation up to ten in double occupancy mode.

Yacht ISA's 41m Classic series: With her inoffensive styling, surfeit of exterior and interior space and full displacement efficiency, on would expect the 41m Classic to be a hit on the charter market, and if this is the case, guests can enjoy the attention of six crewmembers, plus the captain. Powered by twin CAT C-18 engines to achieve a top speed of 14.5 knots (or 16 knots with the more powerful alternatives of twin C-32s), the 41m Classic carries almost 16,000 US Gal of fuel. Scheduled for delivery during the summer this year, the 41m Classic is expected to make her debut at the Monaco Yacht Show in September.
