Following in the virtual wake of the Nahema 120, comes the advancement of another ambitious project by Nahema of France. They are building a large luxurious sailing catamaran by the name Fenomen. With the blue hulled 120 footer to splash in 2009,this cat will probably be further into the future in terms of launching. The Fenomen is to be 148 feet LOA and offer a huge beam of over 50 feet while only drawing just under 10 feet of water at minimum. She is to be powered by 2 X 1,000 HP engines with 2 X 80 KVA GEN SETS. The Naval Architect on this project is Gilles Vaton and the interior designer Franck Darnet. If you ever saw a stylish looking Cat, well the Fenomen would have to be one of them. Clean, curvy and undisturbed lines describe this piece of sailing machine. Other features of this yacht include a touch and go heli-pad for a helicopter, small pool at the aft, dual-control navigation stations on the stylish Fly-Bridge and teak covered decks. The Fenomen will carry a sloop rig with a dominating mast ensuring plenty of sail carriage. To the fore of the mast will exist a large trampoline region and relaxation area. Strategically placed sun-pads and mats will keep the outdoor space interesting for guests. Small doors at the aft conceal PWC equipment while the touch and go heli-pad can be used as a submersible bathing platform. On the other hand the stylishly designed cockpit and saloon area will have its interior space occupied by minimal, modern and contemporary furniture and accessories. Lavish wooden floors coupled with semi upholstered ceilings will create a luxurious interior. *** Here are revised statistics on the Fenomen: LOA: 148.00 feet LWL: 137.00 feet BOA: 52.50 feet Draught: 9.70 feet (minimum) ; 17.70 feet w/ centerboard (maximum) Engines: 2 X 1,000 HP Generators: 2 X 80 KVA Fuel: 2 x 10000 ltrs - plus 2 x 300 l (daily tank) Water: Fresh water : 2 x 4000 ltrs Naval Architect: Gilles Vaton Interior Designer: Franck Darnet http://www.nahema.fr/index.php?page=gamme-nahema150&langue=2 http://www.nahema.fr
