Monaco Yachting & Technologies unveils 50m and 56m superyachts
Wednesday, 11 November 2009
The Monaco Yachting & Technologies (MY&T) 50m superyacht was designed with the objective to offer the comfort and volume of a larger superyacht combined with the advantages of a compact vessel, such as very low fuel consumption and reduced operational costs. Despite the classic exterior profile the MY&T 50m has been engineered for unlimited worldwide operation and features a very stable and seaworthy hull form.
Before the final hull form was tank tested at the HSVA facility in Hamburg, Germany Computer Fluid Dynamic (CFD) simulations calculated the optimum body lines required for such a challenging mission.
Due to the large scale model tested, very precise resistance data has been achieved. Furthermore the vessel features a Rolls Royce retractable, active and “at anchor” fin stabilizer system which will provide low drag and exceptional comfort and safety in any sea-state.
The very strong high tensile steel hull features a Navy-ship style longitudinal and transversal structure which is a fundamental element of the MY&T design philosophy.
Due to her unique engine room/bottom deck arrangement the yacht features a very generous seven cabin layout for the Owner and Guest areas, including a 35m² gym adjacent to the private beach.
Another new project from Monaco Yachting & Technologies is the high-tec MY&T 56m. The hull form anticipates the installation of two Voith Schneider VSP propellers in combination with a full diesel electric power plant along the lines of the MY&T 40m YuKo, which was delivered in 2007.
In combination with the Kongsberg Dynamic Positioning system the superyacht will provide the highest level of safety in adverse weather conditions and unparalleled operational flexibility.
Sanlorenzo has a reputation of offering an unrivalled level of customization, which results in the fact that there are never two Sanlorenzo Yachts that are the same. This has been clearly demonstrated by the unique five-stateroom SL104 planing yacht, that will be on display at the Miami International Boat Show (MIBS) this week. Read More
