New Boat, Swedish Delta "Yacht" - anyone got any info? Jack?

And comes in gold/bronze

Those plan views of upper/lower decks show you can fit a proper crew staircase on the port side, so all ok there. Engine room door would be nudged to starboard. It would need the new headroom to be creatively disguised by saloon furniture, but that's ok

The laundry/utility room/day head, forward stbd side, seems a nice feature.
 
You have the cad files not me, but you take the top step 150-200mm to port and restrict headroom on the shower (with a box), and you move the bottom step 1000 to starboard, and nudge the engine room door to starboard. You then need to create a triangular prism of headroom for the staircase, which eats into the saloon, but you cover that with a chair. The front face of the chair looks normal, and the prism cavity is set 100mm back from the front of the chair so it is hidden apart from a matt black bit at the bottom. And get rid of the cube with the grey lamp on it, to make the sofa a bit longer

This is just 10 mins thought without the dwgs. There will be better ideas of course. You could redesign the crew space and make the stairs raked fore-aft and use the cube in the saloon for the headroom

The Pearl 75 in the pic below has a staircase inside the piece of furniture in centre of pic, without even attacking the chair's space. The tower cabinet is smaller than D80's, yet the Pearl staircase works perfectly well (I've been up/down it a few times). So it can be done

I was thinking of an even more radical (though in a sense very simple) solution.

Lars, have you by chance calculated which sort of performance the boat could achieve with just two of those IPS1200?
I mean, not leaving the center one turned off, but getting rid of it altogether.
I suspect that with another weight reduction of almost 2.5 tons (and right at the stern), she could still be good for the high 20s, which is probably more than enough for many boaters.

And by moving the tender up on the extended f/b as per jfm drawing, you might recover all the valuable space now taken by the garage, going all the way down to the keel (well, almost), getting a fantastic engines accessibility and also a convenient passage through a proper transom door.

Just a thought, anyway.
But don't ask us how to do that, or someone might well take up the challenge and send you some cad drawings just for fun... :D
 
Nobody have complained about any of the three crew ladders we have, so at this point I will not redesign what is working fine. I have walked up and down a steeper ladder several times a day for three years, and especially at sea when the boat is moving i find it much safer to walk with my chest to the ladder and have a good grip on the handrails.

Regarding twin engines, yes we have figures on that, pointing at the high 20:s. But building a new roof and put the tender and a crane there, will need new calculations and a new round with RINA to maintain the Class. I would consider this on a GRP hull with smaller engines though....

Wow, Q.E.D. :)
Re. another RINA approval, well, the twin vs triple would require that anyway, surely?
If I may ask, why did you choose RINA? Mind, as an Italian, I'm not complaining about it at all....

Why not? RINA in Southampton are doing many UK boats as I understand it. For us I think they did it to fit with Malteser registration, CE module B and MCA coding for MGN280. I have not seen the final paperwork yet...
 
Oh, no, I wasn't suggesting that there are reasons against that. Just wondering, based on the yard location...

But are you saying that the D80 is "only" CE B? Some of her competitors are CE A, I reckon.

RINA have people doing inspections in that region too. About A-class, I doubt you will find many boats going 38 knots, at least I would not like people to believe you could do it in A-conditions. And there is something odd with the new generation boat owners, they think they can maintain full speed in rough seas, but still understand that they can not drive their Range Rover in full speed in the forest....:confused:
 
I can see two distinct versions of this boat emerging. Lars' original lightweight carbon flyer 'Sport' and the JFM 'Grand Tourer' - heavier, possibly GRP twin engine version, with extended flybridge, Hi Lo platform, internal Flybridge stairs etc:)
Both versions are/would be fantastic boats.

Now all that pesky staircase detail has been dealt with (:D) here it is with a few tweaks. Can the team make this Lars?

I realise it's only a drawing but it doesn't look to have a very deep V which may explain the high speeds and also why it doesn't appear to lean much whilst turning at "36" knots as shown in the picture below.

I know if I were turning my boat at 36 knots the port holes would almost be under water.
