  1. Mulder 98' Flybridge Motoryacht Completes Seatrials
    ​
    The technical sea trials of the all-aluminium Mulder 98 Flybridge have been successfully concluded. The 30-meter custom-built Mulder with its stunning round-bilged hull achieved a maximum speed of 22-knots; two knots more than expected. The sound levels of the 98-footer were also impressively quiet. The Mulder 98 Flybridge had its global launch in September during the HISWA Amsterdam in-water Boat Show. In addition to being the largest yacht at the show, it is also the largest Mulder Flybridge ever built.The sea trials of the 30-meter Mulder with its beam of 6.90-meters were started immediately after the HISWA Boat Show; initially in Rotterdam and later on the North Sea from the port of Scheveningen (close to The Hague). The Mulder 98 Flybridge features a round-bilged hull and is powered by two Caterpillar C32 engines with a capacity of 1685hp each. The yacht has a fuel capacity of 17,000 liters. At a speed of 10-knots, this gives a Trans-Atlantic range of approximately 3,300 nautical miles. Due to a special insulation method and her ‘floating’ interior, the sound and vibration levels of the Mulder 98 Flybridge are extremely low. In consultation with the owner, the yacht was built fully in accordance with RINA certification.
  2. The exterior of the Mulder 98 Flybridge was designed by Guido de Groot Design, the naval architecture was realized by Ginton Naval Architects.The design is the next stage in the successful evolution of the Mulder range of semi displacement Flybridge motoryachts. She will appeal to an owner who appreciates timeless style over current fashion trends. Her dynamic lines and anthracite-coloured bimini emphasise her length while the softness of the yacht’s surfaces adds an extra air of class. Thanks to the generous length of 98-feet, the yacht’s proportions have been optimized and combined with maximum indoor and outdoor living space.

    Omega Architects was responsible for the timeless, so-called contemporary chic interior with a personal touch, where luxury and elegance can be found in every detail. Mulder's craftsmanship abounds throughout the main joinery, where brushed nickel lines are the main theme, resulting in beautiful and elegantly designed cabinets and walls. Luxurious fabrics of silk, wool and linen like Dedar, Pierre Frei, Elitis and Spinneybeck leather and wool-silk carpets of Tai Ping were used to bring about a sophisticated ambience of comfort and style. The entire custom-built interior consists of stained walnut. The dining area in the spacious saloon with its stunning Onyx Honey window columns accommodates eight people. The professional galley on the port side is fully equipped, including a 12 kW steam oven, and offers a direct connection to the gangway. The main deck also features a day head. The owner’s suite on the lower deck offers a spacious walk-in-closet andlarge oval portholes on both sides. Additionally, the lower deck features a VIP suite and two guest cabins. All four cabins have their own shower and toilet.

    The crew accommodations are located aft and include two cabins for four crew members. The crew quarters are accessible from the swimming platform and the gangway on the main deck,and also offer access to the engine room. The tender can be placed either on the swimming platform or on the wide flybridge. The flybridge also includes two lounge chairs, two large U-shaped sofas and a wet bar with grill, ice machine and refrigerator. The Mulder 98 Flybridge motoryacht is likely to go sailing in the south of France in the spring of 2015.
