It’s not Squall, but it’s pretty sweet. Tamsen has been out at City Marina for quite a while now, and I have not been invited aboard for cocktails…not sure what’s up with that.

I snapped a few shots…

Elan Impression 434 - Sweet spot of the cruisers from Elan

admin — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 01:29:12 +0000

This boat seems to have it all, chinse factor appears to be low, price above the bennies and jennies, but seems like it might be worth it.

IMPRESSION 434
The Impression 434, the first of Elan’s Cruising Range is absolutely stunning. Distinct in design and style and destined to be the best in her class. The Impression 434 offers a host of features that will be greatly valued by the bluewater cruising family or couple. The semi-deck saloon exudes supreme comfort with flowing space, welcoming ambiance, panoramic windows and light wood interior. The spacious cockpit steps down to a large swimming platform for days of relaxation, entertaining and pleasurable cruising. The latest in design and technology, the strength of the hull, quality of the joinery and fine attention to detail combined with years of skilled craftsmanship are classic examples of Elan’s commitment to quality. All that is encompassed in her distinctive style. The emphasis is on both safe and fast passagemaking. Exceptional seaworthiness in her class, well thought design and layout of deck and hardware allows for easy handling. Her design pedigree is the best testament for any serious bluewater cruising.

Wally 60 - The Entry Level Yacht for the “balla”

admin — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 03:24:51 +0000

Wally 60, entry level Wally, affordable right, uh, NO.

The starting point of the new Wally 60 is the successful Farr 60, a yacht with exceptional performance characteristics. Wally has improved the overall design. The deck and interior layouts have been changed following the concept of comfort and safety.

Wally 80 Flush Deck

admin — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 22:33:20 +0000

The Wally 80 combines the hull lines of Farr Yacht Design, with
the styling and interiors of Wally and Lazzarini Pickering Architects. The concept is to have a performance cruiser with large interior volumes. The yacht comes in several different versions.

Given the same hull,
the Wally 80 can be personalised
in the appendages, deck
and interiors, offering up to 16 combinations.
The options of the keel configuration are: fixed, canting, and lifting. space (IT)

The options of the deck are:
Flush Deck, Deckhouse, and Terrace on the sea.
The options of the interiors
are related to the deck solution,
and are based on the three and four guest cabin layouts, and owner’s foreward and aft layouts. The large volumes of the hull design provide
for the three guest cabins with double berths, no bunks. The canting keel does not affect the interior layout because it is stored under the soles.
The Wally 80 is built in advanced composites, pre-preg postcured
at 120° C.
