The legendary Maltese Falcon is not just a sailing yacht, but a work of engineering art on the water. The silence of the sea, the power of the wind, and absolute freedom of movement. This is what the future of yachting looks like 🌊 Sometimes luxury is not about speed, but the ability to sail in harmony with nature. @symaltesefalcon #yachtlife #sailingluxury #maltesefalcon #spinnakermagazine #spinnakerbureau

After nearly three months out of the water, Quicksilver’s Port Douglas-based dive and snorkel catamaran Silversonic has a unveiled a striking new look and new generation engines following a $1.66 million refit. The 29 metre catamaran now shines with a sleek aluminium finish and is powered by two new Rolls-Royce mtu 2000 Series engines, compliant with sustainable marine fuels. Quicksilver Group Managing Director Tony Baker said the transformation reflects both innovation and long-term commitment to sustainable operations. “This refit was a major undertaking and a credit to our incredible Engineering team and local marine contractors. Silversonic not only looks fantastic but will also operate more efficiently, with reduced emissions and improved performance - helping future-proof our fleet for years to come.” The major exterior makeover - stripped back to shining aluminium, is a nod to her name and Quicksilver’s signature flagship wavepiercing catamarans. This latest investment completes the transition of Quicksilver’s Port Douglas outer reef fleet to sustainable fuel-ready engines, reinforcing the company’s leading role in environmentally responsible marine tourism on the Great Barrier Reef. Quicksilver General Manager of Operations Travis Clarke said the upgraded engines also bring operational benefits. “Our vessels Quicksilver VIII, Quicksilver V, Silversonic and Poseidon now share the same engine series, improving efficiency and allowing easier maintenance across the fleet. It’s a win for sustainability and for smart operations.” Designed for adventure and comfort, Silversonic carries up to 90 guests (despite capacity for over 130) to explore three spectacular Agincourt ribbon reef sites daily. Two air-conditioned decks, a spacious dive platform, sun decks and a state-of-the-art ride control system ensure guests enjoy a smooth and unforgettable reef experience. Located on the edge of Australia’s Continental Shelf, the world-renowned Agincourt ribbon reefs are celebrated for their crystal-clear waters, spectacular corals and abundant marine life, offering some of the very best day boat diving and snorkelling experiences on the Great Barrier Reef. Silversonic has exclusive permits to visit over 35 World Heritage Agincourt reef sites, as well as a permit to swim with minke whales if encountered. About the new engines: Silversonic was repowered with two new generation Rolls Royce mtu 2000 series commercial marine engines (10V2000M72) - certified for HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) and other synthetically produced diesel fuels, and new ZF marine gearboxes.

Alle 22 UTC di martedì 16 luglio, all'inizio del quarto giorno di Transpac, Maserati Multi 70 naviga di nuovo mure a destra, con il timone senza foil. Giovanni Soldini spiega: "Da questo lato soffriamo molto, la barca sembra un cavallo imbizzarrito: accelera, si impenna e poi si schianta in acqua frenando un sacco. Senza foil del timone perdiamo il controllo del assetto longitudinale e più di 25-26 nodi di media non c'è verso di andare. Non vediamo l'ora di fare l'ultima strambata, tra circa 350 miglia: da lì in dovremmo fare un ultimo bordo mure a sinistra, sullo scafo integro, e cercheremo di difenderci meglio!" #MaseratiMulti70 #Transpac #Transpac50 Sito web: https://maserati.soldini.it/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovannisold...
