    Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design Presents Project MM51

    Project MM51 is the latest innovative design to be revealed by the Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design studio. This sleek design has been extensively developed and is ready to sign with a shipyard – available as a turn-key project for an owner who wishes to move forward quickly – saving time on what has already been a considerable design development and pre-engineering phase.

    With an order placed before the end of 2016, this design could be delivered within 24 months – in time for Christmas 2018.

    At 51 metres, this powerful sailing sloop has been designed for aluminium construction with an emphasis on comfortable and safe performance cruising.

    Her lifting keel will offer a draft from 4.75m to 7.2m, and above the water, her sloop rig stands 68.5m tall with the sail configuration featuring a square-top mainsail.

    The sleek glass canopy creates a light and airy feel in the main saloon, whilst controlling heat absorption with reflective interlayers in the large glass panels, and heat reflective pigments in the dark colour paint.

    The glass extends over the cockpit providing a smooth flow from the exterior space to the interior. The saloon and cockpit are on the same level, divided only by glass sliding doors, and the cockpit can be further protected from the elements with retractable glass side panels.

    There is space for a large tender under the flush teak foredeck, with the tender well doubling up as a refreshing plunge pool. Moving aft, the wide deck has a step down to bring you closer to the water while remaining pleasantly protected, and the central aft-facing seating is the perfect place for a sundowner.

    Other features include; a spoke-free steering wheel system which continues this clean design and provides better access to the console, a fully automated sail handling system – making the hoisting and dropping of sails safe and quick, without forgetting the large swim platform and side boarding platforms.

    The accommodation is for ten guests between a generous master stateroom and four comfortable guest suites, benefitting from plenty of natural light provided by large windows in the hull.
    Please contact Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design with all enquiries.

  • Two beautiful VAN DER VALKs on show in Cannes

    Two beautiful VAN DER VALKs on show in Cannes

    With just one week to go before the Cannes Yachting Festival opens its doors on 6 September, the VAN DER VALK team is very much looking forward to this fantastic boat show.

    After the success of last year, we’re delighted to present two of the latest members of the VAN DER VALK fleet. The Continental Two Grey Falcon and Continental Three Jangada will be on display on the Super Yacht Extension at berth number SYE039. We will also have a dedicated lounge tent next to the yachts at SYE228, ready to welcome you and discuss how VAN DER VALK might be of service.

    As we sit down for a morning coffee or cool drink, the view will certainly be inspiring. With an exterior designed in-house and an interior by Guido de Groot, Grey Falcon is the 19th Continental Two we’ve launched to date and – with a top speed of 32 knots – one of the fastest. The 25-metre Jangada is the second Continental Three and her design was created in close cooperation with Nick Top, Guido de Groot and the experienced owner.

    Both these superyachts have distinctive designs and showcase the many options available from a VAN DER VALK. We look forward to meeting you in Cannes any time from Tuesday 6 September to Sunday 11 September. If you’d like to make an appointment, please feel free to email or call us.

    See you in Cannes!

    INTRODUCING THE MINIJET

    Williams Jet Tenders, the world’s leading jet tender manufacturer, is delighted to announce an exciting fresh development for the company with the launch of the new Minijet range – a smaller, lighter weight and more accessible tender option that will allow owners of sub 45ft power and sail boats to experience the world of Williams.

    Powered by the industry-leading BRP Rotax® Ace 900 engines, the Minijet will weigh in at under 200kg, making it around 100kg lighter than the equivalent Turbojet model. Its lighter weight and more compact dimensions will enable it to fit on a much wider range of boats, as well as giving it a more accessible price point, all without compromising on the exceptional performance and quality on which Williams has built its reputation.

    The Minijet concept will be unveiled for the first time at London Boat Show in January 2016, with the first boats available for public viewing in September at the 2016 Cannes Yachting Festival and Southampton International Boat Show.

  • Van der Valk receives order for third Continental Three

    Van der Valk receives order for third Continental Three

    Van der Valk in the Netherlands has been commissioned to build a new Continental Three semi-custom motoryacht. This is the third order for this successful new line which, features a distinctive design by Guido de Groot. Like all Continental Three builds, this 26-metre superyacht will combine an overall modern appearance with subtle classic touches and include various unique features chosen by her owners. It is due for completion in 2016.

    One of the specific characteristics of this latest new Continental Three will be a custom mast ensuring the vertical clearance is lower than six metres in order to suit the preferred sailing regions of the client. In addition, the yacht has an extended hydraulic tender launching platform which will double as a beach lounge and a swim platform. Housing the tender in the stern area will enable the flybridge to be kept free for other functions. The interior of this impressive new Continental Three will be mainly realised in teak and other woods to create a classic ambiance, with lots of rounded shapes adding to the sense of elegance.

    Private relaxation
    The spacious flybridge offers an outdoor steering position and two L-shaped sofas for dining. Distinctive relaxation areas will ensure optimal privacy. Two large sunbeds will be placed, one in front of the steering position and the other on the roof of the master stateroom, accessible via the foredeck. There will also be two lounge seats near the anchors. The wet bar behind the helm seat and a barbecue at the aft part of the flybridge will make the whole boat ideal for al fresco entertaining.

    The yacht’s main deck includes a large eight-person table for outdoor dining on the aft deck which also gives access to the flybridge. Beautifully crafted foldable stainless steel doors will open up to the spacious saloon, which will offer stunning views all around.

    Spectacular views
    Another standout feature of the Continental Three is its raised pilothouse, which is centrally located on the main deck. The master suite is situated forward and offers spectacular panoramic views from its high location. The clear separation from the guests areas also enhances privacy levels for the owners. In addition to a comfortable double king bed, it includes an ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, a seating and office area as well as plenty of storage space.

    The lower deck includes three guest cabins, all of which are ensuite: two double VIP cabins aft and one central guest cabin with two Pullman’s which accommodates four people. This deck also features a utility storage room with cooler/freezer department, and a laundry area in the corridor. The crew area, located further forward, has two crew cabins as well as a crew mess, shower and head.

    Technical specifications of the new Continental Three include two MTU engines with a maximum of 1502 hp each, a 45 hp hydraulic bowthruster and a 35 hp hydraulic sternthruster. The estimated maximum speed is 25 knots, with a cruising speed of 20 knots. In addition, the yacht has a Naiad 302 fin stabilisation system and two 26kW Northern Lights generators on board.

    Van der Valk – Continental Yachts has been constructing both steel and aluminium motor yachts since 1968. The family-owned shipyard is located in Waalwijk, the Netherlands, with founder Wim van der Valk still a driving force behind the company. The yard offers its semi-custom Continental series of motoryachts, the layout, interior and style of which can be customised according to clients’ special needs and wishes.

  • Van der Valk launches Continental Two Grey Falcon 32 knots of power and a Guido de Groot interior

    Van der Valk launches Continental Two Grey Falcon 32 knots of power and a Guido de Groot interior

    Van der Valk in the Netherlands has delivered the 23-metre aluminium motoryacht Grey Falcon. With an exterior profile designed in-house and an interior from the boards of Guido de Groot, the 19th member of the Continental Two family is one of the fastest built to date by this leading Dutch yard.

    Grey Falcon’s stylish exterior style is traditionally Mediterranean, with lots of space on the decks. She has no radar mast bracket – instead she features only a boom, allowing full freedom of movement on the flybridge. The large main deck aft features a large seating area and several seats with beautiful views all around, as well as a substantial dining area. There is a steering position outside on the flybridge, with a spacious daybed adjacent and a mini wet bar to port. All of these al fresco spaces make Grey Falcon a delightful place to relax during the day and on long summer evenings.

    Thanks to her triple third-generation Volvo Penta IPS 1050 engines, Grey Falcon is one of the fastest vessels ever built by Van der Valk, and will clock a maximum speed of 32 knots.
    She also contains a wealth of other smoothly integrated technological elements, including twin 26 kW Northern Lights generators. There are two electrically adjustable seats at the helm, and the suede-lined dashboard comprises comprehensive navigational equipment by SIMRAD.

    A fine blend
    Grey Falcon’s interior is a fine combination of the modern and classic, with a smooth flowing transition between the various components. It is characterised by a pale colour palette based on elegant grey washed oak, counterbalanced by darker elements of granite, suede and Alcantara, and dark wengé floors. The interior comprises many geometric shapes, generating a sleek contemporary appearance without subtracting from its warmth.

    The lounge area provides a cosy setup of multiple settees, as well as a seat by the renowned Italian brand Promemoria. Bowers & Wilkins speakers are incorporated into side tables next to the settee, providing superb sound. The dinette to starboard centres on a table in high-gloss lacquered Palisander hardwood. This is continued in the dashboard to port, which extends into the adjacent, well-equipped galley with Corian countertops. The dining table can easily accommodate large groups.
