Discover the Granocean W-60 | Luxury Power Catamaran Yacht Learn more here: https://catamaranguru.com/gran-ocean-power-catamarans/ Working with Stimson Marine, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed to study hull variations to arrive at most suitable final form. And is further used for individual load cases in customized layout designs. Howard Apollonio has drawn up outstanding semi-planing hull lines to achieve excellent sea keeping, long range efficency at low speeds and great planing characteristics at high speeds. Welcome to a behind-the-scenes tour at Granocean Shipyards, where craftsmanship and engineering meet in the construction of the W-60 — a 60-foot performance cruising yacht designed with precision, philosophy, and structural integrity. Eric, the lead builder, stays after hours to guide us through the current state of the build. With the hull and deck now jointed, the team has entered a critical phase: installing the main deck sole and lower deck sole — key structural components that unify the vessel. Structural Methodology Spotlight Eric emphasizes the importance of cohesive connectivity between all components. Four continuous bulkheads run transversely from port to starboard, forming the backbone of the boat. These aren’t just structural walls — they are integrated load pathways that connect the hull, deck, cockpit, and bilge into a single high-integrity unit. Every cut, bond, and layout choice reflects a deeply considered philosophy of durability, performance, and system harmony. The W-60 is the product of years of refinement at Granocean, known for custom high-performance catamarans that marry engineering integrity with owner-led customization. The W-series was born from a desire to break with traditional compromise-laden layouts and instead create vessels optimized from the hull up. The W-60 leverages lessons learned from the early W-52s and 62s, while integrating client feedback and performance testing across oceans. Each W-series hull carries forward a philosophy of monocoque strength, minimized vibration, and exacting weight distribution. Whether you're a seasoned sailor, aspiring builder, or simply fascinated by the inner workings of yacht construction, this video offers a detailed, unfiltered look at how expert shipwrights bring a high-performance vessel to life. 🛥️ KEY FEATURES: - 60-foot (17.9m) length with a 28.5 ft beam for unmatched interior space - Open or enclosed flybridge configurations, plus a sports-fisher version - Interior by Vripack – choose from Mediterranean, Scandinavian, Elegant Chique, or Cosmopolitan styles - Twin diesel engines with options up to 715 HP for speeds up to 26 knots - Ocean-capable with CE Certification Category A - Fully customizable layout and finish for discerning owners - Semi-planing flared hulls with high bridge deck clearance for superior seakeeping - Advanced composite construction with carbon reinforcement and structural engineering by Gurit Structural Engineer: Gurit SP Naval Architect: Howard Apollonio Designer: Eric So – Granocean Interior: VRIPACK Overall length: 58.70 feet / 17.90 meters Maximum beam: 28.50 feet / 8.70 meters Draft: 4.00 feet / 1.20 meters Maximum displacement: 30.000 Kg/ 66.140 lbs Engines: 2 x Cummins QSB6.7 380mhp Diesel Engine Fuel: 4,500 Liters/1,320 US gallons Fresh water: 1,000 Liters /264 US gallons Stay tuned for more information about GranOcean and its catamarans.

Ieri ci siamo lasciati con la promessa di fare chiarezza sui turni di notte. Bene. A differenza delle due traversate oceaniche, non abbiamo ragionato a coppie, ma a singolo individuo. Ognuno sta al timone 1h 30’. Poi la restante 1h 30’ resta fuori a disposizione di quello che viene dopo al timone. Dopo questa ora e mezza uno va a dormire e quello che è stato al timone prende io suo posto come eventuale aiuto. E così via per tutta la notte. Alla fine i turni sono da 3 ore e ne riposiamo 4 e mezzo. Non è male. La giornata di oggi si è sviluppata senza grandi eventi. Abbiamo navigato, chiacchierato, riposato, lavorato. Verso sera, passiamo accanto a una secca. Pensate che il fondale passa da 1500m a 16m. È praticamente una montagna sommersa. Solitamente le secche sono casa di pesciotti, così buttiamo le lenze in acqua e incrociamo le dita. Come immaginavamo, abbocca un tonno FORTISSIMO. Non ho mai fatto così fatica a tirare su un pesce. Saremo stati a tirare e mollare per più di 30 minuti. Alla fine abbiamo tirato su un tonno pinna gialla. Il peso? Non lo so, ma con un braccio solo non riuscivo a tenerlo alto. DISCLAIMER PESCA: mi piace pescare, Andre lo detesta. Entrambi amiamo gli animali e non ci piace spettacolarizzare la sofferenza o la morte. Il pesce che peschiamo lo mangiamo (anzi a volte lo mangio solo io) e tanti saluti. Non ci interessa pubblicare foto in posa, ma tenere traccia sul diario di bordo dell’evento. A domani! C.

At high tide, you can sail into this bay and enjoy the spectacular creek running up to two miles in... The entrance of the creek is lined with submerged trees, dry on a low tide and covered when high, simply beautiful. #sailing #sailinglife #sailboatlife #travel #thailand #adventure

#Ceñir es el rumbo más deportivo que nos ofrece la navegación a vela. Tenemos el través, la popa, un descuartelar y el largo. En el largo, el viento nos entra 135 grados con respecto a la proa. En esta condición, debemos abrir bien las velas y darles potencia. Atrasar carros de escota de génova, lascar el pajarín, drizas, cunningham... Es un rumbo en el que las lanillas de génova ya no funcionan y ya va a haber que usar la intuición. Si lo acompañas de un día con mar de fondo, día completo de trimado de las velas. Si te apetece aprender más, ven a tu Masterclass Sailing Txemacapitan.
