Ten sailboats to watch at boat shows – Second installment
In this second installment, we take you on a tour of some important new developments including catamarans, daysailers, bluewater, performance cruisers and boats that are decidedly out of the chorus.
CNB 62 / 19.48 m / CNB Yachts
total audience 22,307
The CNB 62, designed by guru Philippe Briand, is the ideal synthesis of the comfort of a CNB 66 and the ease of use of a Bordeaux 60, the predecessor model of this new 62 from the French-origin shipyard now owned by Italian Solaris.
A modern bluewater with fast cruiser DNA, Mediterranean style, combining long cruising with refined aesthetics and ease of handling. Tantalizing. www.cnbyachts.com
Deltania Mini / 2.30 m / Deltania Yachts
total audience 55,904
If we wanted to categorize it under a boat category, it would be a very difficult task, because Deltania Yachts’ Mini is practically only a little larger than the Optimist children’s dinghy, but it also has a mini-cabin to shelter in if needed.
Wheelable, with a closable drift, at a cost of 5 thousand euros. Best to go it alone (look at the photo). For all budgets. www.deltania-yachts.de
DolceVela 48 / 14.85 m / AV Yachting
total audience 108,556
This fifteen-footer, which has made a record number of clicks on our website, is operated by only two headsails, a genoa and a foresail that can be overlapped, 100 m and 50 m respectively, and furled on PBO anti-twist stays (so without the classic aluminum extruded).
An alternative sail plan concept grafted onto a performance hull with unusual inerne solitions. When the mainsail is not needed. www.avyachting.it
Sailboats. Eryd 40 XSM / 12.00 m / ERYD
total audience 24,440
A true all-Italian novelty. The new Eryd 40 designed by Emanuele Rossi is a fascinating “object” out of the chorus, just look at the photo.
The boat is a sporty weekender, available in various configurations and customizable, with single or twin wheels, or for the more technical even with tiller steering. Interiors provide up to six berths. It goes like a shot under sail, of course. Counter-trend. www.eryd.com
Excess 13 / 12.99 m / Excess Catamarans
total audience 20,976
Ambitious project : creating a catamaran fast and balanced, reliable, offering good feel, all combined with the comfort and interior volume that make the Excess so successful. The hull shapes, the weight, the composite structure, the layout, the ergonomics, the efficiency of the sail plan.
Everything in this new Excess is designed for the pleasure of easy navigation and comfortable living. Smart. www.excesscatamarans.com
Sailboats. FP 41 / 12.10 m / Fountaine Pajot
total audience 28,544
Also Fountaine Pajot historical manufacturer of catamarans with the new FP 41 “Smart Electric” switches to electric (optional endothermic) motorization. Designed by multihull wizards Berret Racoupeau evolves the concepts of great habitability with an eye on sailing performance as well.
Great variety of interior layouts available, one of the strengths of the Fountaine Pajot 41. The “Master 2” owner’s version offers on master cabin with private bathroom in the port hull, two double cabins and a bathroom to starboard. Family. www.fountaine-pajot.com
GS BLUE / 11.30 m / Del Pardo Shipyard
total audience 93,220
The boat you don’t expect. A “gentleman, or gentlewoman boat,” a craft for advanced boat owners. A refined boat with which to enjoy the pleasures of sailing for a day trip, or on the weekend.
Grand Soleil, with its Blue, makes its debut in the day-cruiser/weekender segment and does so in its own classy way. Thanks to a collaboration with NL Comp, it uses end-of-life recyclable thermoplastic resins instead of traditional thermosets. Tres chic. www.grandsoleil.net
Sailboats. Hallberg-Rassy 44 MKII / 14.45 m / Hallberg-Rassy
total audience 40,342
A cult model like the Hallberg-Rassy 44 is a timeless boat, and in fact the Swedish shipyard, in a choice that harkens back to the automotive world, has decided to update rather than replace it.
Improvements mainly concern the windows, which have been totally redesigned to improve interior brightness, and the aft bathing platform, which is wider and has a more convenient sea access. New interior finishes and redesigned furniture. Timeless. www.hallberg-rassy.it
Hanse 360 ST / 11.32 m / Hanse Yachts
total audience 25,655
For those who want to have a performance boat, the German shipyard Hanse has a new idea for its smaller 360 boat, the ST version. Identical in the hull designed by Frenchmen Berret Racoupeau the 360 ST is all new in the sail section.
Tree taller than 85 cm, deeper T-keel and a sail plan that in total is increased by 10% over the standard version. Also updated are the cockpit rigging, with two additional larger winches. The result: a cruiser with racer performance. Good idea. www.hanseyachtsitalia.com
ICE 64 Explorer / 19.70 m / ICE Yachts
total audience 27,344
ICE Yachts, Italian excellence in high-performance sailing, takes on a true bluewater globetrotter, signed Felci Yacht Design.
The goal (achieved) was to decline the shipyard’s “fast cruiser” philosophy into a long sailing yacht that offers practical and comfortable solutions for life aboard. From amidships towards the stern we find the characteristic carbon T top, contrasting with the traditional bimini, which contributes to a very protected deck, especially from the perspective of long sailing which is what the boat is designed for. www.iceyachts.it
*What is the total audience of the Sailing Newspaper.
