Also important industrial Groups such as Azimut, Ferretti, Sanlorenzo, following the latest fashion, have started the construction of Long Range models;displacement or semi-displacement yachts, Custom Yachts, Explorers or Trawlers, the term Long Range is for everybody synonymous of nice stress-free cruises. Appreciating a true seagoing philosophy, whether sailing during the day or night,safely and peacefully.
East Coast Yacht Broker’s Long Range proposals are concerning to motor-powered boats with great autonomy, appropriate for long navigation, of prevalently displacement or semi-displacement type (or semi-planing, which is practically the same thing). Timelessboats, not attached to fashions, whose outside silhouettes are, in the majority of cases, voluminous and very marine, as gritty design gives way to navigation comfort and lifestyle.
In terms of commercial aspects, these vessels are the ones that best “keep” over time, both because they experience much less deterioration than planing boats, and because generally the models bear trends well and so are nearly identical to past models or have revisions made in the same style. This observation can be done also today, during this period of crisis generalized to all markets.
While up to yesterday technical innovations in navigation generally applied towards speed, performance, improvement of motor power/weight ratio, continual reduction of sizes by improving propellers and transmissions and adding ever more powerful turbinepropeller devices, intercoolers, after coolers, surface propellers, the Ship Owner fond of Long Range today and yesterday loves heavy diesel basic models, with a low number of revolutions, that are
But this does not mean we should turn our backs on change. Indeed there is a lot of interest in alternative energy sources and intrendy Long Range, with new hybrid motors for energy saving and reduction of pollution, adapted to provide moments of silenceand environmental respect in roadstead, marine reserves and in the places where a motor bursting into action creates a noisy clatter. |
