PREMIER 130 PRODUCTION MOTORYACHT HULL #2 M/V “AFTER YOU”

VISION 74 “CLASSIC” COCKPIT M.Y. DEBUTS (and SELLS) AT DUSSELDORF

Bracewell Yachts in Vancouver British Columbia have justlaunched this beautiful 40 foot motoryacht for a local owner.The basic concept for the vessel was a very simple to main-tain and operate cruiser for an experienced couple on theirown. The owners have a large extended family that will oc-cupy the guest cabin and several fold down dinettes.Unusualfor a boat of this size she is powered by twin Mercruiser 450hp stern drives. During the process the owner providedsome cost to operate data that was very compelling and infavour of gas over diesel for boats of this size. With a stun-ning top coat of metallic silver blue. “Quick Silver” as she has been christened was launched into the icy Fraser River onFebruary 3 2009, just slightly under her designed weight andsea trials are just commencing at the time of this writing.

2009 is the first year that GCMNA has had one their vesselson display at the “Boot Dusseldorf” show in Germany. This incredible show is completely indoors and the caliber of dis-plays puts most of the worlds shows to shame. The Vision 74that we designed was part of the Drettmann display . We arepleased to announce that the yacht was sold during the showto a British customer. Drettmann wins hands down for thebest boat show display I have ever seen. The eight yachts ondisplay ranged from 52 feet to 90 feet, and featured a walkaround hardwood floor at waterline height that surroundedthe vessels. Lounging spaces, pianists and private limousineservice right to the booth. Every aspect of the Drettmannorganization oozed efficiency and professionalism.

Last Fall, Horizon Groups’ flagship facility Premier Shipyards delivered the M/V “After You” to West Palm Beach for her US owner. This prominent Yachtsman then displayed M/V“After You” at Pier 66 of the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show . This is the second yacht in the very successful new 130 seriesto be launched this year. Already five have been sold .“After You” is the Owners third yacht from Horizon.Overall styling for the series is by Florida based J.C. Espinosawith Naval Architecture, Engineering and Interior by GregoryC. Marshall.

Interior in the vessel is very traditional with raised mahog-any panels, stunning wrought iron work and fine leather fur-nishings. Top speed is in excess of 18 knots at half load witha range of over 3000 nautical miles.

12 Meter VERY FAST CENTER CONSOLE SPORTFISHERMAN

We have designed this aggressive looking centerconsole sportfishing boat for a good friend of ourswho runs a dive shop in the Persian Gulf. Poweredby twin 350 horsepower Yamaha outboards, thisrocketship will be able to get out to the diving /fishing grounds in short order with a top speed ofover 60 knots. Construction will be one off vacuuminfused composites. Beam on the boat is a relativelynarrow 3 meters , and the hull is a deep “V” stepped form. Some of the features of the craft areside diving doors, a day head and a proper fightingchair in the cockpit for gamefishing. The controlconsole portion of the craft is configured to prop-erly get up to six people out of the sun and blister-ing heat of the Gulf. True to the Owners respectfor his country the hull is a deep Qatari red withGold accents.

This Classic Day Sailer is the birth of a long time customer of Kanter Yachts who has inspired the Yacht Builder to begin a ClassicSeries of sailboats beginning with the 40DS. With ever increasing time demands, the customer is looking for a yacht that he canday sail by himself or with limited crew. The boat is a graceful combination of classic style above the waterline and modern ap-pendages under. The sail plan is all about being sailed single handed and therefore all the sail handling has been engineered for sim-plicity, reliabil ity and ease of use. All control lines are hidden to give the teak deck of the 40DS a clean, safe and uncluttered look.Though the rig and sail plan are simple, it does not lack the power to provide exhilarating performance, she will not only be turningheads at the dock but also around the bay.
