http://www.boatinternational.com | February 2016The in-build 57.7 metre Amels 188 is the
first hybrid Limited Editions and will feature
Amels’ hybrid switchboard and waste-heat
recovery system. The yard believes that
it could offer a €150,000 return on
investment over a three-year period.
The engineering phase is completed and
the first hull is expected to be delivered
in spring 2018. Reymond Langton Design
penned the interior, which they describe as
contemporary but warm, and Tim Heywood
again designed the exterior.

Silence is the whisper on this in-build 65 metre from
Heesen, but her hybrid diesel electric propulsion
will also offer relatively eco-friendly consumption.
Project Nova will burn 98 litres per hour at 12 knots
and only 57 litres per hour at 10 knots. She will still
have a respectable 16.3 knot top speed with her main
engines and reach 9 knots with hybrid diesel electric
propulsion and boast a transatlantic range.HEESEN
ON BOARD
Sparked by the fashion for explorer yachts, German
shipyard Fassmer has collaborated with Beiderbeck
Designs on this 80 metre – an evolution of the yard’s
Fassmer OPV 80 patrol boat. Merging superyacht luxury
with the capabilities of a commercial vessel, it features
a mechanism that can launch and retrieve tenders
while cruising, a helicopter hangar and a forward-facing
owner’s area, wrapped in glass for expansive views
whatever the weather.

At 43.53 metres, the Pershing 140 is the
Italian brand’s largest design to date – and
its first made out of aluminium. Typically
sporty, it has a steel grid on the bow that
is reminiscent of a coupé car. The yacht
was penned by Fulvio De Simoni, who
has designed every Pershing model since- Part of the main deck is raised into
a mezzanine, creating more space for a
huge water-level beach club with fold-
out sides. One of the three MTU engine
options will offer a top speed of 38 knots.
