Discover These New Yacht Constructions 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 Jongert 3200P: Our favorite feature is the direct access to a private terrace from the owner's suite and an aft bulkhead that will be built predominantly out of glass, providing immense sea views and an abundance of natural light. This is a theme that runs throughout the yacht, with tall vertical windows below decks providing light and views to guest staterooms, while the upper deck superstructure features full height glazed windows. At the stern, the yacht's twin helm stations dominate the spacious main deck cockpit, which is intended to integrate entertainment and navigation functions, enabling guests to feel close to the action, if they wish.

Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: GCA also worked on the 160' (53.5m) sailing yacht Nirvana, built by Vitters, and which bears Dubois' handiwork as well. The GA calls for four 387sqft (36sqm) guest suits, two of which will feather double beds while twin beds will occupy the remaining two. A full-beam owner's suite (almost 50' across), with separate his-and-hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, and a large, shared shower compartment, sits amidships.

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 Dubois 101m Sloop: This yacht has 410' mast and 137' boom. The UK design firm Dubois Naval Architects unveiled design proposal for a remarkable 101m sailing sloop in early 2012. By the beginning of 2013, the contract had been sold and construction was due to start as INVICTUS went to print. It is the firm's largest yacht to date, and will be the largest sloop-rigged sailing yacht in the world upon completion.

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 Dubois 101m Sloop: Despite a displacement of 2,000-tonnes, she will draw just 13' (4m) with her keel retracted. For blue water cruising, her keel will increase her draft to almost 40' (12.8m), providing additional stability beneath her 410' (125m) mast. To put the height of this vessel's mast in perspective, the Statue of Liberty's torch is 305' (93m) high, while the famous Big Ben clock tower in London stands 315 (96.3m) tall. If that doesn't impress you, consider this: Dubois' 331' (101m) sloop will feature a 137' (42m) mainsail boom - that's longer than the total length of most sailing super yachts.
