Guido de Groot is developing together with Doug Sharp Design and Intec Marine a new type of semi-displacement hybrid motor yacht. To be built in aluminium, the 150 foot yacht features several novelties including the use of a small gas turbine generator for bringing the yacht on her top speed of 25 knots. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/142423/image/large-4456c96dc065ab7ec24e24c1fd915e48.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/142423">Two technical areas on board instead of one conventional engine room allows to create a layout with a large tender garage and a beach club area and more interior space for guests and crew on the lower deck. Propulsion is given by Voith Linear Jet drives in combination with 2 electro engines. The yacht is making use of 8 kW solar panels, 4 vertical axis wind turbines and 2 speed generators.Guido de Groot Design +31(0)71 566 3040 <a href="mailto:info@guidodegroot.com?subject=Guido%20de%20Groot%20Design%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@guidodegroot.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guidodegroot.com/">www.guidodegroot.com</a>

Intec Marine Shipyard has created a team of professionals to develop and market two models of “next generation yachts”. The Intec Marine 90 and 140 are extremely energy efficient with hybrid propulsion and designed by Guido de Groot Design from the Netherlands. As well as energy efficiency the yachts have dramatically reduced sound levels and emit lower emissions of NOX and CO2. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/139661/image/large-456306cb38c898be6937006191262486.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/139661">Developed in conjunction with San Diego based naval architect Doug Sharp, particular care for environmental concerns has been incorporated into the design, the construction and eventual operation of the yachts. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/139662/image/large-a96771342561d30114b29b6be2ef3c2d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/139662">Intec Marine Shipyard started developing innovative and energy efficient yachts in early 2007. Two models are currently being developed together with designer Guido de Groot; the Intec Marine 90 hybrid and Intec Marine 140 hybrid. The technical design is provided by Doug Sharp Naval Architects, which has combined its expertise with the extensive knowledge and experience of Intec Marine Shipyard to equip the models with environmentally conscious applications down to the smallest details. The main objective of the development of the yachts is that sustainability plays a major role in terms of both construction and use. James Munn from Fraser Yachts is actively involved with the sales and marketing for these two projects. James has been involved in the original concept for the Intec Marine Hybrid. James believes it will not only win success as a design but will help raise awareness of the importance of low-impact yachting. Next week we will publish more information on the new Intec Marine 140.Guido de Groot Design +31(0)71 566 3040 <a href="mailto:info@guidodegroot.com?subject=Article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@guidodegroot.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guidodegroot.com/">www.guidodegroot.com</a> Intec Marine Shipyard +31 02 23 69 44 80 <a href="mailto:info@intecmarine.nl?subject=Article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@intecmarine.nl</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.intecmarine.nl">www.intecmarine.nl</a> Douglas Sharp Yacht Design, Inc. +1 619 223 4860 <a href="mailto:info@sharpdesign-na.com?subject=Article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@sharpdesign-na.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.sharpdesign-na.com">www.sharpdesign-na.com</a> Fraser Yachts James Munn +33 610 02 26 81 <a href="mailto:james.munn@fraseryachts.com?subject=Article%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">James.Munn@fraseryachts.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fraseryachts.com/">www.fraseryachts.com</a>

Next generation yachts developed at Intec Marine Shipyard

The Intec Marine 90 Hybrid is the first yacht from a series of energy efficient 'next generation' yachts with hybrid propulsion designed by Guido de Groot Design. Besides it's energy efficiency, the yacht will emit lower noise levels and lower emissions of NOX and CO2. It has been developed in a joint effort with San Diego based naval architect Doug Sharp. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137584/image/large-c9bc50fe5dd06ef4ac8066630de69667.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137584">A lot of special care for the environmental concerns have been taken into consideration for the design, the construction and the operation of the yacht. The Intec Marine 90 Hybrid will have a RINA marine green star design certificate. Although having a length of 27.5 metres only, it is a true 3-deck displacement motor yacht. She features a unique frontal dining area on the main deck directly connected to an outdoor seating area and a Jacuzzi. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137585/image/large-4e288530b96cdcd688262194faf582d3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137585">The innovative electric propulsion set-up allows the creation of more interior space for the crew and guest areas on the lower deck. Another large outdoor area can be found on the aft bridge deck, which is partly covered by a bimini topped with solar panels.Guido de Groot Design +31(0)71 566 3040 <a href="mailto:info@guidodegroot.com?subject=Guido%20de%20Groot%20Design%20on%20SuperYachtTimes.com">info@guidodegroot.com</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.guidodegroot.com/">www.guidodegroot.com</a>

The Intec Marine 90 Hybrid unveiled by Guido de Groot Design

Trinity Yachts, L.L.C. announced the launching and christening of the 122 ft. (37.2m), 24 ft. (7.3m) beam, aluminum sportfishing yacht, the Mary P. She is the first hull built and launched by the Trinity Yachts’ New Orleans shipyard, since the post-Katrina reopening of that shipyard on July 5, 2006. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124455/image/large-223fd03ad7a915281d07f6ea9da06b13.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124455">With the naval architecture by Doug Sharp of Sharp Designs and built by Trinity Yachts, the <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/133">Mary P</a> has truly answered an extensive client brief through extensive research, including tank testing of the hull-model while going astern. The transom was designed to increase the seaworthiness and maximize performance while in stern mode. There are many other unique details which enhance her role as a sportfishing yacht, such as a fully automated anchor deployment and retrieval system, specially designed underwater lighting to enhance her performance when night fishing, and a flybridge that maintains a good line of site for the captain, which is especially important when backing down on a fish. Some of the key interior features of the Mary P are a highly finished custom interior with exquisite woods such as Oak Burl, African Zebra and Japanese Sen, handcrafted cabinetry throughout, and book matched granite in the owners’ bathroom. The Mary P accommodates an owner’s party of 8 in four (4) staterooms and a crew of three (3) in two (2) cabins in the stern. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/124456/image/large-f7778b5ceb3a61b28e706aadfd570087.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/124456">The propulsion is from twin Caterpillar engines 3512B-HD producing 2540 hp at 1800 rpm. This provides a top speed of approximately 25 knots. A minimum of 7,000 gallons (26,460 L) of fuel allows a large cruising range. The Mary P has a very advanced stabilizing system featuring the Quantum MagLift ® with 3 axis digital control and Zero Speed ™ as well as high speed stabilization utilizing Archer® active trim tabs. This combination of two types of stabilizers enables the Mary P to be a stable platform at high speed, trolling, at anchor and a first for any yacht, stabilization while backing down on a fish. The yacht also has a 4,000lb davit with a 14ft. boom and a 120hp bow thruster. Trinity has several exciting years ahead of it, with 24 superyachts under construction, of which seven are presently being built at the New Orleans yard. As the largest custom luxury superyacht builder in the United States and the third largest in the world, Trinity’s growth is unprecedented in the industry. Today they are looking to hire between 200 to 400 more employees, such as welders, pipefitters, carpenters and engineers. In a time of economic uncertainty elsewhere, Trinity knows no boundaries and continues to increase its orderbook and enhance its reputation by delivering the finest custom superyachts in the world. Centrally located on the Gulf Coast of the United States, Trinity Yachts has earned its place as one of the world's elite builders of custom superyachts with an emphasis on European quality, steel and aluminum constructions.
