Project: Broward 'Columbus 146' megayacht

Broward; Donald Starkey collaborate on 'Columbus 146' megayacht design​

This all-aluminum design is a result in collaboration between Broward Shipyard and Donald Starkey Designs. The 44.5-meter megayacht is a contemporary design and features a semi-displacement hull. Speeds are expected to be in the region of above 14 knots by use of a pair of CAT C32 ACERT marine engines.

The range can be expected to be just over 3,000 nautical miles at an economical speed. Top engine output is estimated to be just under 2,600 horse power, that's near 1,300 horse power per engine. In essence the design is an expedition superyacht with aim of providing relaxing entertainment in comfort and still the ability to visit secluded coves. Having that in mind, the draft of the yacht is minimal and a respectably wide beam of 9.15-meters aids in the comfort.
