 In addition to displaying three new models for the first time at the London Boat Show, including the Cadet 310 Neo, Pro Classic 420 and the Yachtline Deluxe 420, Zodiac® has recently introduced a new, luxurious Medline range of boats as well as adding three new tenders to the Zoom range. Zodiac® has also renewed its N-ZO, Pro, Pro Open and Cadet Ribs, ranges to give its customers more choice.
The recent renewal of the Medline range with the Medline 500, 540 and 580 highlights Zodiac’s® capabilities in creating a boat that makes sailing as stress free as possible. Equipped with spacious sundecks and, depending on the model size, a large aft bathing platform, this new range, complemented by new hulls, a new design and new tubes has been created to optimise time spent on-board.

 The Paris Boat Show saw the Dufour 36 Performance world premiere. With the trend moving toward better speed with more versatility, the Dufour design team have performed extensive research and design testing to create a boat which will be fast on the water and combine flexibility and comfort.
Marco Marine has ordered the first boat into the UK; MD Richard Poulson said: “The Dufour 36 Performance is a true dual purpose boat designed for speed, space and comfort. She is wider giving greater stability under sail but her lines shout speed for anyone who sees her. There is no longer a need to compromise.”

 Testing of the production-spec RS900, RS Sailing’s contender for selection as the future women’s Olympic skiff class, is underway.
The RS900 has been designed by the RS team of Alex Southon and Nick Peters together with Phil Morrison. It is designed not only with possible selection as a future Olympic class in mind, but also as a design that will stand the test of time and introduce skiff sailing to a new generation.
RS managing director, Martin Wadhams, said: “We began the process several years ago believing that the RS800 could be modified to become the women’s skiff, but quickly realised that although it was arguably the most suited of the then current contenders, it would never be perfect for Olympic women.”

 The third generation Clipper Race fleet is taking shape on schedule with the first hull being released from its mould in China.
The first of a new 12-strong fleet of Clipper 70s has been released from its mould as the construction of an expanded fleet for the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race progresses on schedule ahead of its completion next year. This is the first of an order for 12 identical new Castro-designed yachts, with an option on four more.
Clipper Chairman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston said: “The new fleet build is progressing on target in Qingdao, China. The new yachts will enter service for the Clipper 13-14 Round the World Yacht Race and continue operating until 2020.”

 We can expect to see Riva's new flagship from their open line, the Riva 63 Virtus, early next year. With racy exteriors and a strong personality the Riva 63’ Virtus is the largest open yacht produced by the shipyard. It has been designed as a sporty yacht, created for owners wishing to experience the sea first hand and it's expected that the yacht will prove to be a strong challenge to the large hard top sportscruisers trend.
The Riva 63 features lots of relaxing and dining space along with a huge aft sunpad below that is the tender garage and an L-shaped dinette amidships. It also offers three cabins for comfortable accommodation including a full-beam master ensuite that incorporates 6ft 4in of headroom. The new Riva 63’ Virtus will feature twin 1360mhp MAN 12V engines, 1000 kW at 2300 rpm/min with a top speed of 40 knots and a cruise speed of 35 thanks to the tried and tested hull equipped with direct shaft line tunnel propulsion.
