New Boats Table Proper little big boat Eye-catching and different – and plenty of room for your friends
With its new Saffier Se 33 Life, this modest-sized Dutch yard has created a very distinctive daysailing package with good performance, a novel deck layout to keep your guests happy and above-average weekending potential. With a light and slippery hull, plenty of stability (displacement is ‘sensible’ at 2,960kg) and a generous rig, this is a fast but easy-to-sail package for friend-and-family crews. Twin-wheels on a boat of this size and type may seem over the
top but they do make the boat super-easy to drive and take up less cockpit space than a tiller. With something of a ‘mini Wally’ feel to it, all control lines and halyards run aft beneath the deckhouse to the helm station to keep the cockpit area completely clear and facilitate easy shorthanding. And the Saffier cockpit is definitely built for comfort and low-
stress sailing, with plenty of space, ample ‘comfy’ seating for guests and heaps of room to relax before, during and after sailing. The ‘Wally’ theme continues below decks with a contemporary,
spacious and very bright interior. There are two interior layouts offered: the family version features a saloon, separate bathroom and large V-shaped double berth forward. The saloon seating con- verts into two further good-sized berths. So a proper modern fast daysailer but with the benefit of an interior that competes in comfort with a (much slower… and less cool) pure cruising design of perhaps 29-30ft overall. The alternative ‘couples’ version features all the same interior
features, of a well-equipped galley plus bathroom, but with more space given over to the saloon for socialising and less emphasis

on overnighting. Both versions are well lit with generously propor- tioned topside windows. Standard draft is 2.1m. A second, twin-rudder shallow-draft
version drawing just 1.4m is also available. A Yanmar 15hp diesel is fitted as standard with an electric option
of a Torqeedo 10KW pod plus 5kW batteries. Construction is infused sandwich with 15mm-20mm cores with a 25mm solid laminate used in the keel area. A carbon rig plus lightweight teak decks complete the mini big
boat feel. A lot of luxury and style in this 33ft low-freeboard package. In my own parlance, a yacht to be proud of. Cees Decker

As JPS pump out the 40.4s Luke Berry gets his richly deserved first new Class40 Another development of Crédit Mutuel. A reliably fast series-built performer
Excellent TJV debut for boat 1… Next available delivery slot is now January 2024 (seriously) Boat no2 (Rán) is well advanced. The absolute donkey’s. Turnkey IRC flyer in and offshore
The first of these DSS machines is now sailing… sailing and absolutely stunning Large-capacity commercial charter catamaran for Maui… 149-person large capacity! Glorious-looking wishbone una-rigged canoe. Best thing we’ve seen for quite a while The flying creature is coming together incredibly quickly. We can’t wait (PS we’re not alone) Jean Le Cam is working on a new non-foiling VG Imoca… allegedly with twin-leeboards The floodgates opened immediately – Charal 2 will be first out of the trap Pouring through… a new Imoca scow for Boris Herrmann and the first from VPLP The real deal… Armel Tripon will build his new Imoca using carbon ‘offcuts’ from Airbus The decision is made, the current boat is sold and Sam Davies has a new Imoca for 2024 Black Pepper watched interest explode so are building another on spec (yours at ⇔5million) Jörg Riechers has put a new project together with this German luxury electric yacht brand Maxime Sorel’s new Imoca (Monbana Chocolates/V&B) will be a tweaked Apivia sistership Yannick Bestaven’s new boat is being built using the 11th Hour moulds
Fitting out in Lorient. Original ‘crewed hull’ given some more forward ‘float’ for solo racing Arkéa Paprec have a new boat – Yoann Richomme replaces Sébastien Simon as skipper A perfectly timed TJV victory – Thomas Ruyant gets a new LinkedOut (Arkea design-sister) The 60 is on order and a 100-footer may be coming… More lucky measurers After Baltic’s Café Racer this might be even more beautiful… a very contemporary package The biggest yet from Persico. Very light at 171 tonnes. Hybrid power means silent running The confidence and appetite for giant new sloops is reaching new heights (happy days) Aluminium hull, carbon superstructure… and a sloop! The new superyacht benchmark Getting there… the Amazon Prime of superyachts is now well into rigging and fit-out
Before TeamWork finished (won) Raison had at least three confirmed new projects New Riptide iteration for Peter Heppel. Very slippery, simple water ballast. More on this soon
Glenn Ashby persuades TNZ to have a go at Richard Jenkins’ record (not a chance – ed) Astonishing inshore/coastal flyer. Foils, carbon everything and 1,200kg dry (1,192kg, in fact) They say you’ve all ‘got to’ buy one… we doubt that. Excellent effort, though… take a bow One-design mini AC75… which we think will fly in every sense of the word Eight on order (allegedly) and boat 1 goes afloat in August. The nerves will be a-jangling
