Designed by Giorgio Maria Cassetta, the all-steel yacht follows the successful debut of GO and represents growing interest in Tankoa’s compact-yet-capable platform. The series now includes another 45-meter build in progress, alongside two larger 50-meter T500 yachts already under construction.

Singolare was commissioned by a South American owner and tailored to suit his lifestyle, from the layout and materials to the warm, contemporary interior palette by Brazilian architect Debora Aguiar. Notable features include an enclosed upper-deck veranda that converts into a climate-controlled salon, an elevator connecting the main and sun decks and a dedicated wellness zone with a sauna, gym and private cinema.

The flush foredeck hides a fully integrated tender garage, while the main deck offers a spacious master suite and a salon with sliding glass doors and floor-to-ceiling wine cellars. Belowdeck, guests are accommodated in four staterooms, with a professional galley setup and additional space for crew.

Singolare strengthens our presence in key international markets,” said Tankoa Vice President Guido Orsi. “It’s an important milestone for the shipyard.”

Delivery is set for this summer, with the yacht heading to the Mediterranean before a winter season in the Caribbean.

Boat-show attendees often stop our staff on the docks and ask, “What’s the best boat to get?” And the answer we give is always the same: It’s the one that gets you on the water.

That said, there are six boatbuilders that have brand-new designs, and they are ready to help clients find the boat that gets them on the water next.

Your passion might be long-range summer cruising with the family to exotic ports of call. It might be ripping off to the local sandbar at light speed for a day trip on a Sunday afternoon. Either way, there’s a boat for the mission at hand.

And when it comes to features such as foldout decks, beach clubs, glass-walled spas, inboards, outboards, custom furnishings and foredeck lounges, they’re all available and a whole lot more.

Pardo Endurance 72

The Pardo Endurance 72 has a warped hull form that’s designed to work with Volvo Penta IPS propulsion. There are two engine options: IPS1050 or IPS1350 diesels. With the l350s, the builder reports a maximum cruising range of 900 nautical miles at 12 knots, making the Endurance 72 a fit for those who have a desire to visit far-flung waypoints. Belowdecks, there are four staterooms, including a full-beam owner’s space aft and a VIP amidships with an athwartships berth. Two twin-berth guest staterooms are forward. The yacht’s modern interior has satin-finish gray walnut, which is found in the soles, ceiling panels and more.

Grand Banks 62

Grand Banks 62

The Grand Banks 62’s sweeping sheerline creates an ageless profile, while beneath the yacht’s stately visage is a thoroughly modern motoryacht. Powered with 900 hp straight-shaft Volvo Penta D13 diesels, the 62-footer has 30-knot speed with a 27-knot fast-cruise speed. The yacht—running on the Malaysian builder’s V-Warp hull design—has a reported 2,000-nautical-mile range at 10 knots. Other engine options include 1,000 hp D13s and IPS1200s. The yacht is constructed with resin-infused E-glass as well as carbon fiber in the superstructure, decks and bulkheads. The Grand Banks 62 also comes in a sky-lounge version.

Tankoa Diamond Binta

Diamond Binta’s owner is a previous Tankoa client, having built the 164-foot Binta d’Or, but it was time to go bigger and create a yacht with longer range. Enter this 190-footer. Tankoa partnered with Francesco Paszkowski Design to create the yacht, with Margherita Casprini on the interiors. Notable design elements include a beach club with a glass-walled “treatment room” that allows light into the space when the yacht’s side decks are lowered and the transom is open, as well as a guest companionway belowdecks with panoramic views. This corridor also passes an open engine room for a view of the yacht’s various systems.

Marlow 65 Avalon

There’s a certain sophistication in symmetry when looking at the lines of the Marlow 65 Avalon—the way the sheerline creates a stout yet sinewy appearance. The motoryacht’s superstructure, generous with its glazing, visually lowers the profile to create a runner’s look. Viewing the yacht bow-on, the vessel appears broad-shouldered in a ready stance to take on the sea. This three-stateroom yacht can cruise at 8 knots or shoot along at 25-plus knots when time is of the essence. Inside, the salon has an open floor plan. There is also an atrium lounge aft, creating a climate-controlled indoor-outdoor space for relaxing with friends.

Hinckley 41

Hinckley 41

The Hinckley 41 is an entertainment platform from end to end. The cockpit, which can be protected with a SureShade awning, has a C-shaped settee to port and an aft-facing seat to starboard, both with stowage underneath. There is also an L-shaped settee to port with the helm to starboard under the hardtop. The foredeck lounge has a U-shaped settee for even more guests to stretch out. Power options for the Hinckley 41 include triple 350 hp or triple 400 hp Mercury V-10 Verados. With the smaller outboards, the yacht builder reports about a 46-knot top hop. The larger outboards reportedly offer a 52-knot top-end speed.

Tankoa’s Diamond Binta to Debut at Palm Beach International Boat Show https://www.yachtingmagazine.com/yachts/tankoa-diamond-binto-to-debut/ Mon, 10 Mar 2025 19:00:00 +0000 https://www.yachtingmagazine.com/?p=68789 The all-aluminum custom yacht was built for a repeat owner and is the builder's first 190-footer.

Tankoa Yachts plans to display the 190-foot Diamond Binta, at the Palm Beach International Boat Show this month. Delivered in the summer of 2024, the yacht made its global debut at the Monaco Yacht Show last fall.

The superyacht was developed for an experienced owner, who previously commissioned the 164-foot Binta d’Or. Tankoa partnered with Francesco Paszkowski Design for the exterior and Margherita Casprini for the interiors, focusing on a balance of form, function and material selection.

“Our design philosophy for Diamond Binta included the owner’s requests and extended beyond them, focusing on creating a welcoming ambience defined by understated elegance,” Paszkowski stated in a press release.. “We emphasised the interplay of architectural forms, extensive wood applications, and a neutral colour palette to craft spaces that are harmonious and timeless.”

Built at Tankoa’s shipyard in Italy, Diamond Binta has an aluminum hull and superstructure. The exterior design incorporates soft curves and extended deck spaces, maximizing outdoor usability. A beach club at the stern includes a lounge area, a treatment room and fold out terraces to increase usable real estate. A skylight from the main deck adds natural light to the space.

The yacht’s layout includes a main-deck owners’ stateroom as well as five guest staterooms. The full-beam owners’ space has a private lounge, study area and drop-down balcony. The guest accommodations include two Pullman-equipped staterooms, accommodating 12 guests.

Interior finishes emphasize natural wood tones, marble and leather. Oak in various finishes, including striped, brushed and dark-stained tatami textures, is incorporated throughout the superyacht. Marble surfaces are used in the lobby, dining areas and bathrooms, while smoked-glass elements add contrast and depth. Nearly all onboard furniture is custom-designed, complemented by high-end pieces from Minotti and Poltrona Frau.

The Palm Beach International Boat Show will run from March 19-23.

Tankoa T580 Diamond Binta

Tankoa Yachts in Italy has launched Diamond Binta, a fully custom, 190-foot motoryacht that is on track to be delivered to its owners by the end of July.

Diamond Binta project was commissioned in 2021 for what Tankoa says is “an experienced owner seeking extended voyages and unrivaled luxury.”

With the designation Tankoa T580, Diamond Binta has exterior lines by Francesco Paszkowski and interior design by Margherita Casprini. Construction is in steel with an aluminum superstructure.

“This new yacht, our first 58 meters, is the result of years of collaboration between the Paszkowski studio and Tankoa,” Eva Orsi, president of Tankoa Yachts, stated in a press release. “I am proud of this project, which represents an evolution from the owner’s previous 50-meter yacht M/Y Binta D’Or. Its timeless design combined with cutting-edge solutions is the result of teamwork between client, designers and shipyard, blending elegance and functionality. This construction confirms Tankoa’s reputation as a boutique shipyard.”

Tankoa also built Binta D’Or, which was the first of the yard’s 50-meter yachts with its hybrid propulsion package. That yacht made its debut in 2019 as Hull No. 2 in its series, and had a design similar to Vertige, which was Hull No. 1 in the series.

As a fully custom project, Diamond Binta takes everything up more than a few notches in terms of the owner being able to customize his ride. Notable features on Diamond Binta include a forward helideck and an aft beach club with fold-down bulwarks. The onboard spa includes a massage room. Up on the fly deck, there’s a gym and a swimming pool. The yacht’s garage can accommodate two tenders, including a nearly 30-foot limo tender.

Accommodations include a master stateroom along with five guest staterooms, with a corridor on the lower deck that connects the staterooms to the beach area, passing through a viewable engine room.

For now, those are all the details that the shipyard has released—but Diamond Binta is scheduled to be on display at this September’s Monaco Yacht Show, after which the owners plan to cruise in the Mediterranean. So, be on the lookout for more insider information to come soon.

What else is happening at Tankoa Yachts? In June, the shipyard launched another Paszkowski design. Rilassata is Hull No. 6 of the S501 series. It’s also expected to be used in the Mediterranean.

Tankoa Yachts in Italy has unveiled plans for the 230-foot Milano, which was developed in partnership with fellow Italian company Nauta Design.

“This project means a further step in the growth and consolidation phase that makes Tankoa one of the top players in the construction of luxury megayachts,” Vincenzo Poerio, CEO of Tankoa Yachts, stated in a press release. “Fusing cutting-edge technology with meticulous attention to details, the 70-meter Milano embodies our vision for excellence.”

The Milano is inspired by the Italian city of Milan, which is where Nauta Design is based. Beam on the vessel is nearly 39 feet, and the draft is 11½ feet. Styling on the exterior is sleek, with a substantial after section for guest relaxation.

“The stretched horizontal lines establish a seamless connection with the sea’s surface and the horizon, providing an intimate connection with the natural environment,” Mario Pedol, Nauta co-founder, stated in the press release. “It embodies a reinvention of clean forms and harmonious volumes, resulting in a visual effect of lightness, purity and serenity.”

The elongated stern section includes a beach club with a lounge, convertible gymnasium, sauna, massage room and foldout platforms for extra water access. There’s also an outdoor swimming pool with sun lounging. Because the engine room is a single level on the under-lower deck, guests have a direct passage from their accommodations to the beach club.

Those lower-deck accommodations include four guest staterooms that are separate from the crew cabins, crew mess, laundry and water-toy garage. Two VIP staterooms are up on the main deck with foldout terraces. Also on the main deck, forward, is a tender garage.

The upper deck is the owners’ deck, with a stateroom, private pool, study, sky lounge, outdoor dining and helipad.

On the bridge deck is the captain’s cabin along with a cinema, while the sundeck has a lounge area and sunbeds.

The diesel-electric propulsion system on the Tankoa Milano includes four variable-speed Caterpillar C32 generators that supply electrical energy to two 1,640-kilowatt e-motors. According to Tankoa, the setup allows for a top speed of 16.5 knots.

Are there fuel cells in the Tankoa Milano specs? Yes. Tankoa is integrating methanol fuel cells that are expected to provide up to 200 kilowatts of power. (The main advantage of methanol fuel cells, experts say, is the ease of transport of methanol, an energy-dense yet reasonably stable liquid at all environmental conditions.)

Fraser sales broker J.D. Crawford had a challenge on his hands. It was autumn 2022 at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, and American clients who’d never owned a yacht were laying out an extensive list of requirements for whatever boat they might buy.

“It became evident that a fresh approach was necessary,” says Crawford, who set up meetings with multiple shipyards that could produce what the clients envisioned.

Almost a year later, this past August, Crawford helped the clients sign with Tankoa Yachts in Italy. Their 183-foot, fully custom yacht—the T560 Apache—is scheduled to be completed in late 2026.

Article At-A-Glance

  • Alberto Mancini is the designer of the T560 Apache.
  • The 183-foot T560 Apache is based on the nearly 250-foot T760 Apache.
  • The owner’s deck is packed with private features.
  • Tankoa’s goal is to include amenities from 1,000-plus-gross-ton vessels.

Designed by Alberto Mancini

Alberto Mancini is an Italian yacht designer who got his start working with well-known industry leaders such as Officina Italiana Design, Ken Freivokh, Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard. In 2006, Mancini went out on his own with Team for Design. He’s been working steadily ever since.

The nearly 250-foot T760 Apache that Mancini unveiled at the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show served as the inspiration for the recent sale of the 183-foot Tankoa T560 Apache.

Impressive Owner’s Deck

The Tankoa T560 Apache will not have an owner’s stateroom but instead will have an owner’s deck on an upper level. The sleeping area will be forward, providing panoramic views of the scenery all around the yacht. From here, the owners will have access to a private terrace that spans more than 900 square feet with an 18-foot pool as well as an outdoor lounge with a fire pit at its center.

Substantial Guest and Crew Spaces

Guest accommodations will be in five staterooms that are all located forward on the main deck—an unusual layout aboard a yacht in this size range. Generally speaking, this location affords guests larger windows for better views while eliminating the need to traverse stairs several times a day to reach the yacht’s lower level. On this yacht, the VIP stateroom will span the full beam.

Crew quarters will be on the lower deck of the Tankoa T560 Apache and will include a dedicated gymnasium for the crew to exercise. (The owner and guests have their own wellness center and gymnasium in separate areas on board.)

Beach Club Bonanza

As with just about all superyachts being built nowadays, the Tankoa T560 Apache will have a substantial beach club where guests can relax. According to Fraser’s team, the beach club will include drop-down side balconies that broaden the recreational space to nearly 1,000 square feet, all of it with unbeatable views and access to the water.

Swimming On Board or Off

The beauty of having a beach club on a yacht is that guests can relax at water level, dipping in and out of a quiet, scenic bay for a refreshing swim or some fun on the water toys. Aboard the Tankoa T560 Apache, the beach club will also have a 13-foot glass pool for guests who prefer to cool off on board. Smoked glass in the transom will connect the inner portion of the beach club to the yacht’s exterior, while stairs to the main deck aft will lead to an upper terrace.

Where are the Tenders?

To make room for that beach club aft, designer Alberto Mancini drew a tender garage forward on the main deck, beneath the owner’s stateroom private terrace. This garage can hold and launch a 23-foot tender, along with a rescue boat and watertoys, freeing up the after portion of the yacht so it can be reserved exclusively for guest use.

What Else is Tankoa Yachts Doing?

The shipyard, which is on Italy’s western coast in Genoa, also recently sold Hull No. 1 of the TX450 Explorer Yacht. It’s a Giorgio Cassetta design with a length of 147 feet and, unusually, all guest staterooms located on the main deck. Delivery on the TX450 Explorer Yacht is expected in spring 2025.

Tankoa has 8 More Yachts in Build

Also in build right now at Tankoa Yachts are two S501s, two T450s, two T55 Sportiva hulls, a T580 Custom and the Tankoa Vitruvius 52, which is designed by Philippe Briand with batteries developed in conjunction with Siemens. Tankoa’s second hybrid superyacht, the 164-foot Kinda designed by Francesco Paszkowski, was delivered in 2022.

For Fans of Explorer Yachts

Last year, Tankoa unveiled a concept for the T500 Tethys Explorer Superyacht. It’s a 164-foot “SUV of the seven seas” intended for long-range voyages. Exteriors and interiors are by the Italian firm Hot Lab, which incorporated two convertible lower-deck spaces that can be outfitted as staterooms, a gym, an owner’s office or for other uses. Renderings of the T500 Tethys Explorer Superyacht also show a helipad aft.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long has Tankoa Yachts been in business?

Since 2007. The company was created with help from former members of the management team at the Baglietto shipyard.

What does the word Tankoa mean?

It comes from the Genoese word for scorpion, “tancua.” A friend of the company owner, who was also a major shareholder, was a Scorpio.

Why does Tankoa call itself a boutique shipyard?

The idea is that it’s not mass-producing dozens and dozens of vessels each year. Instead, it delivers four or five annually.

Does Tankoa allow owners to customize their yachts?

Yes, up to and including fully custom builds.

Is it true that Tankoa’s clients are getting younger?

Yes. The yard’s team says some clients are in their 40s, and many are buying a yacht for the first time, even in the larger size ranges.

Tankoa 50M ‘Kinda’ Reviewed https://www.yachtingmagazine.com/yachts/tankoa-50m-kinda-reviewed/ Fri, 01 Sep 2023 17:00:00 +0000 https://www.yachtingmagazine.com/?p=60847 The 164-foot Tankoa Kinda is a trideck with hybrid propulsion built to cross oceans in style.

The post Tankoa 50M ‘Kinda’ Reviewed appeared first on Yachting.

Tankoa 50M
The 164-foot trideck Kinda has a 4,700-nautical-mile range at 12 knots. Leonardo Andreoni

It’s not easy to make a 496-gross-ton trideck look sleek without wasting space, but Italian designer Francesco Paszkowski nailed it with Tankoa’s all-aluminum S501 Series. Check out those lines: the high bow dipping to a chamfer at the bow, the near-square stem, the climbing chine, and the heavily raked bridge windows. They all punctuate the 164-foot length overall, and then the yacht sweeps back to create generous aft-deck overhangs and an elegantly raked transom.

Launched in spring 2022 and shown at the Monaco Yacht Show this past fall, Kinda is the fourth hull in the S501 Series. Like its sistership Bintador that launched four years ago, Kinda has a hybrid propulsion system. There are three cruising modes: diesel-mechanical, diesel-electric and full electric. Choosing the appropriate mode can improve fuel consumption, and the intervals between engine and generator servicing should be longer, saving on maintenance costs and inconvenience. The zero-emissions mode could allow access to otherwise restricted waters.

In conventional mode, the most efficient cruise speed is around 12 knots, at which Kinda’s twin 1,400 hp MAN V-12 diesels burn just over 42 gallons per hour. With a little more than 15,000 gallons of diesel, that translates to a transoceanic range of almost 4,700 nautical miles. Maximum speed is 17 to 18 knots at half-load. In diesel-electric mode, top-end speed drops to around 10 knots.

Tankoa 50M interior
Margherita Casprini’s interior design is notable for the brushed-oak, leather paneling and Botticino marble. Leonardo Andreoni

In fully electric mode using batteries alone, and with normal hotel loads, expect a little over two hours’ autonomy at 5 knots, and perhaps an hour and a quarter at 8 knots. At anchor overnight, owners should get seven hours of run time on batteries alone with normal hotel loads. Twin electric fins from Italy’s CMC provide stabilization at anchor (and when cruising) but can be disengaged to boost fuel efficiency.

Kinda’s outside lounging spaces include the usual cockpit and upper deck aft, but there’s also a sun deck up top beneath a hardtop, and there’s a noteworthy foredeck terrace. Unlike the three previously launched sisterships, all of which have hot tubs on the sun deck, Kinda has its hot tub on the foredeck. It’s a 1,300-gallon glass-wall affair flanked by sofas and able to be shaded by a Bimini top.

Views from all these spaces are enhanced by frameless glass balustrades. Even the hardtop has tinted-glass skylights that cut down on the shadows. Furniture outside comes from Italian brands such as Talenti, Kettal, Varaschin and Tuuci.

The transom’s main event is Kinda’s beach club, which includes a gym, a shower and a day head (one of three aboard). A transverse tender garage aft is big enough for a 21-foot Castoldi RIB, and there’s room on the foredeck for a 14-foot Castoldi RIB, flanked by a crane and a couple of personal watercraft. The transom door folds down, creating a dock abaft the swim platform.

Tankoa 50M stateroom
Kinda’s six-stateroom layout includes a full-beam main-deck master and a two-thirds-beam VIP. Leonardo Andreoni

Kinda’s interior was conceived by Margherita Casprini, a longtime associate of Paszkowski. The main salon and sky lounge have a contemporary, soft palette with brushed-oak veneers, rich leather paneling and dramatic Botticino marble. All is cool and calm aboard Kinda. The open-plan salon has three distinct social zones: a lobby aft with a small table and chairs; a conventional lounge with an L-shaped sofa, two armchairs and a coffee table; and a formal dining table amidships. Loose furniture comes from Minotti, Vitra, Flexform and Gallotti&Radice.

Accommodations for 12 guests are in six staterooms. However, the layout aboard Kinda is a little unusual, with two of the staterooms forward on the main deck in what is effectively an owners’ suite with a lobby/study, a master stateroom and a VIP. The master occupies the full beam with a forward-facing king-size berth, an en suite head, a lounge and a walk-in closet. The VIP spans two-thirds of the beam to port with an aft-facing king berth, a lounge chair and a coffee table, and an en suite head.

The remaining four staterooms are belowdecks. Two have inboard-facing queen berths with pocket doors to their en suites. The other two have aft-facing twin berths.

There’s also quarters for nine crew, including a captain’s cabin on the bridge deck. All other crew quarters are on the lower deck beyond an amidships galley and crew mess. Staircases connect to pantries on the main and upper decks, so crew can move around discreetly.

Kinda is this owner’s first trideck yacht and will be used for private family cruises. With luxe accommodations and trans-Atlantic range, the owner’s hardest task will be choosing a waypoint.

Exploring the Med

During its first summer season in the Mediterranean, Kinda was used for intimate family cruises along the French Riviera and the islands of Corsica, Sardinia, Elba and the Aeolians. This summer, the yacht will head to the Eastern Med’s Greek islands and Turkish coast.

In Build Now

Tankoa has more than a half-dozen tridecks in build from 147 to 190 feet. The first all-aluminum Tankoa T55 Sportiva is scheduled for delivery in early 2024, and the second is set to go to a European owner in late 2024. The T580 is Tankoa’s biggest-ever project: a 190-foot, fully custom Francesco Paszkowski/Margherita Casprini design with a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure. It also should be delivered in 2024. In addition, there’s a fully custom 170-foot all-aluminum hybrid project on track for completion next year in association with Philippe Briand and Vitruvius Yachts. The smallest Tankoa to date, at about 147 feet length overall, is a Giorgio M. Cassetta design with a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure. It’s called T450, and it was started on spec in autumn 2020, sold once, and is now available again with a proposed 2025 delivery date.

Capable Hands

For the past few years, the Tankoa team has been steered by CEO Vincenzo Poerio, who previously led the Benetti half of Azimut-Benetti.

Tankoa Yachts in Italy has sold three more yachts: two that were already under construction on spec and one that will be a fully custom design.

The spec yacht S501 will be delivered to a European owner in 2024, while the spec yacht T450 will be delivered to a South American owner in 2025.

There’s no word on when the custom build will launch, but Tankoa plans to unveil more details about that project at September’s Monaco Yacht Show.

As of this writing, no delivery slots are available at the shipyard until 2026. Tankoa recently acquired land adjacent to its existing infrastructure, with plans to use it for carpentry, painting, joinery and the production of custom pools. The yard is also building new administrative, technical and production offices.

Which yacht will Tankoa have on display at the Monaco Yacht Show? Grey, a Francesco Paszkowski design in Tankoa’s 50-meter mini-series. The yacht is part of the Tankoa S501 series with heavy customizations.

Tankoa Yachts in Italy has sold Hull No. 2 of the Sportiva 55, a 180-foot superyacht designed by Luca Dini. Delivery to the owners is scheduled for 2024.

“The second all-aluminum Sportiva 55 sold in less than a year is for a young European owner with a strong passion for yachting,” Giuseppe Mazza, Tankoa sales and marketing manager, stated in a press release. “With eight projects under construction for delivery between now and 2025, I am proud to see that the commercial strategy undertaken three years ago is bringing the expected results, and we are on the right path to become one of the main players in the superyacht market.”

The latest Sportiva 55 will have a main-deck galley and master stateroom, five guest staterooms belowdecks, a beach club with a swimming pool, a “Nemo room” and an elevator.

“Despite all the political and economic uncertainty, 2022 has been a very fruitful time for Tankoa,” company President Eva Orsi stated in the press release.

Is the Sportiva 55 built below 500 gross tons? Indeed, it is.

Tankoa Yachts in Italy has unveiled plans for the T680 Fenice, a 223-foot motoryacht with a steel hull, aluminum superstructure and exterior styling by Enrico Gobbi of Venice-based Team for Design.

The T680 Fenice’s centerpiece is an open-air lounge aft on the main deck, encompassing an area of more than 1,000 square feet. It’s essentially a multilevel beach club with an infinity-style pool, gymnasium, spa and lounge. Folding balconies on either side of the hull further increase the space.

Inside, the salon has full-height windows for panoramic views. Forward on the main deck are two VIP staterooms and four en suite guest staterooms, also with larger windows. The master is up one level with a walk-in closet, marble-lined bathroom and access to a private foredeck with a glass-front hot tub. That foredeck space can also serve as a touch-and-go helipad.

Crew’s quarters are on the lower deck, along with the galley, hospital room and side-loading tender garage. Guest dining is on the upper deck, in a space that can be enclosed or semi-open to the elements—also with opening balconies.

What’s the projected performance for the Tankoa T680 Fenice? With twin Caterpillar 3516Es, Tankoa says the yacht should have a top speed of 16.5 knots and a cruise speed of 15 knots. Range at 12 knots is expected to be 5,000 nautical miles.
