New Design: Rene van der Velden 110' Plumb Bow Yacht

Rene van der Velden 110' Plumb Bow Yacht​

Desirable concept promises economic construction and operation ​

This snug, boldly handsome all-weather cruiser is ideal for today’s economy-minded families. She was conceived to assure fun, pleasure, and low building and running costs. She is based on a less-costly steel hull, with each living space made as versatile as possible, and without cumbersome features and over-sophisticated technology that savvy owners find unnecessary and expensive. With longitudinal framing, the steel hull is relatively inexpensive to build and maintain, and is easily repaired anywhere, even in low-tech facilities. The superstructure can be aluminum or composite, depending on builder’s or client’s preference and, like the interior styling, can be customized to suit your needs and taste. The hull is shaped for comfortable speeds up to 18 knots.

On most yachts, tenders and toys are stored on the flybridge deck, usually ruining the view, or in the lazarette, requiring costly hydraulic devices to assure water tightness and regulation compliance. The cruiser has a spacious foredeck with high bulwarks to stow them, with a crane to handle them. Built-in covered stowage is a foredeck option.

On typical tri-deck, flybridge yachts of this size, guests usually spend most of their time in the skylounge, reserving the salon for less frequent formal use and dining. Here the salon, with up to five sliding doors, can be opened in fine weather as a real skylounge, or closed for cozy gatherings or dining. Forward, separated by the galley, day head, and central stairway, a spacious full-width owners’ suite, with private entrance, offers maximum privacy.

Abaft the wheelhouse owners have a combined flying bridge with an alternate skylounge. Forward it’s wrapped—above and on two sides—by sliding glass panels that can be closed for protection or opened wide to the fresh air. The four guest cabins, set midships for easy motion, also have flexibility. The two cabins forward can be combined into a large VIP suite with sitting room. One after cabin can shift between double or twin-berth arrangement. An efficient crew area is forward.
