Monte Fino 45 - 易駕雙體豪艇

Monte Fino 45 - 易駕雙體豪艇

Monte Fino是台灣嘉信遊艇的重要品牌，主要生產百呎長度的超級遊艇，早在2004年已成為世界十大遊艇生產商，是台灣首家生產逾一千艘遊艇的廠家。 今次還是筆者第一次試坐雙體遊艇，感覺比一般單體船身更穩定，而且今次來港的Monte Fino 45更是首次配用Cummins的Zeus推進系統，單靠一支Joystick便可操作前進、倒後，甚至橫行！

現時Monte Fino 45所用的Cummins Zeus推進系統，是目前兩款最流行的遊艇推進系統之一（另一為Volvo IPS），特點是引擎動力直接推動螺旋葉，毋須經過傳動軸發力，可減少動力流失，所以更慳油。不過，推進系統最大優點是透過如Joystick般的控制 桿，控制船隻前行、左右轉向、倒後，甚至橫行，開船或泊船就像「打機」一樣。Monte Fino 45是台灣嘉信遊艇的最新產品，雙體船身設計優點是航行更穩定，進一步減低油耗，同時亦較相同尺碼遊艇擁有更寬敞船艙和Flybridge空間。筆者最欣 賞還是行駛時的穩定性，尤其高速航行船身的顛簸度很低。由於動力是直接傳送至螺旋葉，所以加速感來得比較直接暢快。

遊艇還首次配置了 Skyhook船位保持系統，當船隻停在海上進行活動時，遊艇不會因水流而偏離位置，因為系統會利用GPS衞星定位，確實遊艇位置經緯度，如果出現偏差， 系統便自行啟動引擎為遊艇歸位，實在先進。雙體船身設計令船艙顯得特別寬敞，置身其中不感到任何壓逼。最令筆者驚喜是廚房編排，雖然位於舵手席(船艙)旁邊，加上空間較細小，但流理台面積很寬敞，基本上可作酒吧餐桌之用。

Belize 52 Hardtop

Belize 52 Hardtop

Belize Motor Yachts was only established in 2010, and initially seemed at best a dream for its two founders, Aussie boating industry stalwarts Wes Moxey and Lee Dillon. But things quickly took shape, and the 2011 Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show saw Wes and Lee announce the semi-custom, Australian designed Belize 52, under construction since September 2010 at the highly regarded Ka Shing yard(嘉信遊艇公司) in Taiwan. Now, right on schedule, it's here in the flesh.

Main saloon of the Belize 52 Hardtop, with American walnut finish and interior design by Giorgia Druidi.

Yacht designer Anthony Starr was involved in an initial design consultation with Moxey and Dillon, who themselves conceived the boat’s original design parameters. Sydney-based Italian designer Giorgia Druidi, who has previously designed interiors for Ferretti, was commissioned to create the soothing interiors, subtle colours and contrasting textures. American walnut cabinetry finished in satin gloss is complemented with taupe two-pack lacquer panels, while fabric panel walls, leather and accents of wood grain provide a warm and intimate ambience throughout the boat.

Horizon launches 27m Mineral Water

Horizon launches 27m Mineral Water

Horizon has just launched the fourth Horizon E88 motoryacht, Mineral Water, which successfully completed her sea trials on 13 October 13 in Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

Powered by twin MTU 1920HP engines, the 27m (89ft) yacht ran smoothly and reached a speed of 23kt under fully loaded conditions.

Complying to owner Mark McKay's requirements, Horizon created an optimally designed shaft system and used lightweight materials to attain the lowest possible draft for the yacht.

Additionally, in order for Mineral Water to meet height restrictions for cruising under bridges, Horizon built the radar arch with a foldable feature that lowers the overall yacht height.

Mineral Water will be delivered to the owners in Australia in early November.

10 Coolest Solar Powered Boats Promising Emission Free Cruises

10 Coolest Solar Powered Boats Promising Emission Free Cruises

As the drive for ecofriendly transportation modes is gathering momentum, many new and innovative ideas are surfacing everyday with the promise of a greener future. River or water transportation is one such area where newer ecofriendly ideas are taking shape almost on a daily basis. Old gas guzzling boats are being replaced by newer boats powered by renewable energy sources. Here I am going to tell you about 10 such boats which are powered by solar energy and have the potential of changing the face of water transport in the future.

1. The SunCat23 Catamaran

Developed by a Taiwanese company named Horizon Yachts, the SunCat23 Catamaran uses solar energy to fulfill its energy needs. The solar panels fitted on top of the boat are capable of generating 760 watts of energy which, in turn, powers a 2.8 kW electric motor. This gives the SunCat23 a top speed of 6 knots and the ability to carry 12 passengers onboard.

2. Solar Proa Catamaran

The Solar Proa catamaran uses energy from the ray of sun to power itself. The boat has been designed by a team of designers which includes the likes of Carolin Dissmann, Daniel Boos, Andreas Schwab, and Tibor Bartholoma. Solar PV panels cover the top, front and the rear of the boat. The boat is capable of taking six people for a peaceful ride on the river.

3. ARK Solar Boat

The design of the ARK solar boat has been conceived by Janne Leppanen. The boat has a huge open surface much like a basketball court. The entire surface of the boat has been fitted with multilayered solar panels which drives the electric motor of the boat. The hull of the boat has been made from reinforced plastic fiber that makes the boat light and strong at the same time.

4. Solar Yacht by Novague Studio

 

The Solar powered yacht concept by Novague Studio is unique in the sense that the solar panels fitted on the boat spread out on both sides like the wings of a plane. The panels transform sun’s rays into electricity that powers the electric motor that the boat runs on.

5. Poseidon Solar Yacht

Designed by Demetrius Tanase, the Poseidon solar yacht concept combines comfort and eco-consciousness in the most perfect manner. The Poseidon is a 12 meter long boat that uses solar energy to fulfill its electricity needs. The solar panels that transforms sun’s rays into usable electricity has been fitted on the sails of the boat. The designer of the boat has used extremely thin solar films so that they can be fitted on the sails. The design of the yacht has been done in a manner that would reduce drag and increase energy efficiency.

6. Volitan Solar and wind powered boat

The Volitan boat concept harnesses both solar and wind energy to fulfill its energy needs. That is why, the boat has been fitted with solid sails and double-layered solar panels. The body of the boat has been made from carbon fiber composites and epoxy resin which makes the boat incredibly light and stiff. The solar panels on the Volitan have been fitted on two wings which rise vertically from the top of the boat. Electricity generated by the solar panels is used to drive a pair of 222 HP electric motors.

7. Pedal-powered solar boat

The pedal-powered boat has been conceived by Jonathan Mahieddine. The primary energy that the boat is powered by comes from the people taking a ride in it. It is a pedal boat. But whenever the occupants get tired of peddling, there is a battery pack fitted on the boat which takes over the job of powering it. To provide electricity to the battery, the boat has been equipped with solar panels that are fitted on top of a pole that rises from the middle of the boat.

8. Mercury Marine’s Hybrid Boat

The hybrid boat concept from Mercury Marine uses both solar energy and fossil fuel to meet its energy requirements. Equipped with a pair of QSC 550 HP diesel engine and a lithium-ion battery pack, this ‘green’ boat concept does show some potential as far as the future boat market is concerned. The lithium-ion battery pack gets electricity from the solar panels fitted on top of the boat.

9. Loon solar powered boat

The design team of one of the most successful green cars in the world, the Aptera, has now conceived a boat which uses solar energy to power itself. They call it the Loon. The boat comes fitted with a solar panel that is capable of generating 1000 watts of clean energy from the rays of the sun. That energy is used to power an all electric motor that gives the Loon a top speed of 7 knots and a range of almost 35 miles.

10. The Leviathan

The Leviathan green yacht concept uses both the sun and the wind to give its occupants a green ride. The concept has been created by industrial designer Adam Valmassoi who believes the future of transportation lies in using green energy. The boat runs on a pair of electric jet pump engines which gets its energy from the solar panels and the wind turbines fitted on the boat.
