Yamaha V8 425 XTO Offshore direct injection outboard.

Lascia un commento

In recent years the demand for boats using outboard engines has grown enormously. In the past the use of these engines was limited to pushing boats with a maximum length of around 10 meters, now these boats can easily reach 15 meters. Also because with the development of technology the outboards are always more powerful with lower consumption and the attention is maximum to make them always lighter. The choice of the type of diesel or petrol outboard may depend on the type of boat you want to power and the number of miles you want to sail.

Many models of high-performance boats owe much of their current success to the Verado outboard line, in particular to the powerful and reliable Mercury Racing 250R engines; 300R; 350R; 400R. The novelty of this year is that Mercury Racing has realized a new outboard, the 450R not exclusively but especially for high-performance boats with an unprecedented 450 hp impressionable power with crazy acceleration, which is also very light. 313 kg comes in a compact size that can be used and adapted to any possible configuration, especially for multiple applications.

Cigarette 41 AMG Carbon Edition performance, handling and versatility

Lascia un commento

Carbon fiber is increasingly at the center of attention because in recent years, through study and research programs, it has continually seen a great increase in its strength and lightness and in the face of these peculiarities many sectors that have used it for years constantly follow the development of this material. Also the construction techniques of this alloy, starting from the mold models to the lamination to the structural gluing and others, are in full evolution with whole production cycles that in a short time can undergo significant improvement effects. Attentive to these problems, surely it is the high-performance boating sector that for years has been using carbon fiber composites to make more and more light and robust hulls, all to the advantage of speed and navigation reliability. Every year Mercedes-AMG and Cigarette Racing start a new high-performance boat project, collecting all the developments and experience accumulated on the previous models, always trying to bring improvement elements like in the most prestigious Formula 1 car teams.

Falcon Rig 92 m the new Perini Navi sailing superyacht

Lascia un commento

After his celebrated and successful sailing yacht Maltese Falcon (88 m) Perini Navi after 13 years is preparing to build a new yacht that uses a DynaRig rig. Let us remember a revolutionary armo because once the sails are explained, the thrust of the boat is propelled by rotating the trees. For the first time the maneuvers are performed not by acting on the sails but on the mast. This was made possible through a complex electric / hydraulic system consisting of motors, sensors, automatic winches and more, all controlled by a complicated on-board computer that automatically processes all the navigation parameters and plans the maneuvers through the rotation of the shafts and is possible so that even a single person can manage the navigation of the entire boat. This rig was conceived in the late 1960s developed in Germany by engineer Wilhelm Prolls who never had the chance to verify his practical construction. This technology was then renamed Falcon by an American investor who bought the patent rights from the German government. Continua a leggere “Falcon Rig 92 m the new Perini Navi sailing superyacht”→
