Yardimci 45 meter 5
At 6 am sharp on April 19, 2007 Alloy Yachts of Auckland New Zealand launched the 34 meter yacht VvS1.
The exterior of the vessel is very unique dark / grey metallic with a silver superstructure and lipstick red bot-
Kanter 54 5
tom paint. The name “VvS1” comes from the diamond industry and refers to the lowest number of flaws in a
diamond. The superstructure is highly facetted and keeps the design alive and changing as the sun moves
around. The interior of the vessel was co-designed between GCMNA and the owners and strikes a fine balance Calixas 105 6
between minimalism and comfort. The high tech exterior belies a true global voyaging expedition yacht core.
The vessel is full MCA LY2 compliant and Lloyd’s certified. After a few weeks of commissioning VvS1 set sail Vision 68 6
for Tahiti averaging 9.5 knots at an easy 1300 rpm and only 72 litres of fuel / hour including genset. Alloys has
done a superb job of building one of our favorite designs to date.

New Projects
45 Meter Project “Big Fish”
GCMNA is deeply entrenched in a 45 meter project “Big Fish” …. What can we say? This is a very exciting project. This ultra modern and
minimalist project is being designed for a highly appealing owner who finds every boat in the Mediterranean simply boring. To relieve the boredom
this vessel incorporates more than 60 feet of hydraulically actuated beach platforms in the hull, floor to ceiling curved glass, with drop down re-
cessed deck spaces to not obstruct the view. Amidships there is a spectacular atrium that is 8.0 meters (28’) tall with a full height art wall and
topped with a 6 square meter skylight. Stored forward is an 8 meter (28’) custom designed catamaran tender that matches the design of the large
yacht, and an enormous retracting helipad. GCMNA is designing the entire vessel from keel to top of mast mechanical/interior/exterior and naval
architecture. We are even building a full-sized 4000 square feet model of the interior in Victoria so that the owner can walk through the vessel and
study and improve all aspects. Project management for the vessel is being done by David Darwent of Marine Construction Services. We would
love to show you designs of this cutting edge vessel but unfortunately for now, a silhouette will have to do.
70 Meter Project “6133”.
Project “6133” is a massive design project we recently signed for a pair of 70 meter yachts. The project is our first design collaboration with well-
known British designer, Michael Kirschstein. Michael’s office is responsible for the overall design, interior and exterior while GCMNA is responsi-
ble for the naval architecture and engineering. Once again, project management is by David Darwent of Marine Construction Services. The vessel
will be going out for BIDS in early October 2007. Unfortunately, details of the project are classified at the owner’s request.

New Projects
70 Foot Long Island Commuter
This is a very sexy project that you will start to see a lot
more on soon. We designed this boat to be reminiscent of
the golden days of New York’s Long Island commuters from
the 1920s. Beneath the skin, this vessel is anything but tradi-
tional. Structure is vacuum infused composite construction
and propulsion is via state-of-the-art Volvo IPS drives. The
hull was tank tested at the BC Research facility to 40 knots
(see tank testing photo on page 7 in this newsletter).
One of the unique features of the vessel is that it is designed
to be wheelchair accessible and the main deck has only single
steps up and down. The interior is designed by GCMNA and
is done in a very classic down east style.
Destiny 42
The Destiny 42 is a production dis-
placement catamaran under develop-
ment for a group based in Washing-
ton state. This compact vessel was
conceived to be a perfect family
cruiser and charter vessel. Layouts
are offered in several configurations
from 2 staterooms to 4 and both
galley up and down. Construction is
in vacuum infused composite. Pro-
duction run is expected to be about
six vessels a year. For more informa-
tion, please contact Linn Jennings:

Horizon 110
This latest project for the Horizon Group in Kaohsiung is a 110’ x 24’ raised pilot house motor yacht. Tank testing was completed at B.C. Research
facility last month and demonstrates a very clean running hull with superior performance. The exterior shell of the vessel will be fixed for produc-
tion; the interior of the vessel can be highly customized to suit each buyer’s particular needs.
Layouts include an on deck master
stateroom option without sacrific-
ing the ability to have galley option.
The large windows is the pilot-
house configuration and all versions
have a unique split level fly bridge
with air-conditioned cabana and
head.

Under Construction - “Premier 130”
Hull #5 of this new production project is already under construction at Premier
Shipyards in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Hull #1 is still six months away from its on time
delivery…. not a bad start for this exciting program. Overall styling is by J.C.
Espinosa with mechanical design and laminate engineering by GCMNA. We are
particularly proud of the fact that the hull is the largest infused composite part ever
build and is a testimony to the shipyards vacuum infusion skills.
Interior for each vessel is highly customized : Pictured below is the interior for
Hull #2. GCMNA is developing the interior design and full CNC ready shop draw-
ings for the entire interior millwork package. This platform allows us to show cus-
tomers with a very high degree of accuracy what the interior will look like right
down to fabrics and marbles. Once the owner has approved the design we are able
to computer cut precisely what was agreed. By combining design and build this
way, it allows GCMNA the ability to deliver on our design work to a degree un-
matched in the industry, and more importantly do so in a cost effective way.

Under Construction
Vision 74
The Vision 74 cockpit is an evolution of the very
successful Vision 68. The interior is full of pleas-
ant surprises including high skylights, very easy
staircase and a master suite rivaling most 90 foot-
ers. A wide variety of layout configurations for 3
to 5 staterooms. This 68 / 74 series has been
selling at a very brisk pace and Vision reports the
order box filling fast.
Yardimci 45 Meter
Construction is scheduled to begin about the time this
news release goes to press. On the project, we have
brought large ship modular construction to yacht building
allowing this sophisticated shipyard in Tuzla, Turkey to
build the vessel in three main modules in a much more
efficient timeline. This massive 45 meter yacht is being built
on spec and will be available for purchase and subsequent
outfitting to suit the owner’s taste. This advanced con-
struction process allows a new buyer to get into a project
of this size much faster and gives the owner’s interior de-
signers a much more defined envelope to work within. As
the vessel line will be offered as a fully found running
“shell”, the new owners can purchase it and finish it at the
same shipyard or if they want to run the vessel on its own
bottom to say Seattle so that the interior can be fit out
closer to home, that option is available. The vessel is ABS
certified, and MCA compliant.
Kanter 54
The 54 foot expedition yacht is nearing completion at Kanter Yachts in St.
Thomas, Ontario for a delightful customer in Virginia, USA. Designed primarily
for east coast cruising we developed the ship with the intention of cruising at
displacement speeds most of the time, but when impatience sets in, the ship
can throttle up to over 20 knots when required. Accommodation include a fill
beam master stateroom and two guest cabins. Launch is scheduled for late July
2007. For more information contact Manfred Kanter @ 519-633-1058 or
email to tech@kanteryachts.com.

Recent Launches
Calixas 105
Calixas updates. After its arrival into the
US in early March, the Calixas 105 made its
debut at the Palm Beach Boat Show and
was clearly the star of the show. Hull #2
has started construction and is coming
along well. After its debut in Palm Beach
the Calixas travelled to Corpus Christi
Texas for the first Texas International Boat
Show and was greeted with great fanfare
upon arrival. Calixas has contracted to
build 6 105’ Yachts and a new 145 project
is currently under development.

Vision 68
The Vision 68 is quickly becoming a successful classic. Hull #5 is currently under construction at Vision’s Shipyard in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The first
vessel was launched at the end of November 2006 and was delivered to its home base of Seattle in February 2007. Vision has done a superb job of
tooling and the vessel is full of pleasant surprises including large skylights, extra wide easy stairs, and huge accommodations. The interior decorating
on Hull #1 ( pictured) was developed by Sylvia Bolton Design of Seattle. GCMNA has had numerous successful collaborations with Sylvia over more
than a decade. For more information on the Vision 68 contact www.horizonyacht.com.

Fathom 40
These pictures were taken just a few days of this hot new 40’ family cruiser being
built by Fathom Yachts of Anacortes, Washington. In our last newsletter, we an-
nounced that construction had begun and here we are just a few months later an-
nouncing the finished vessel. This dynamic team of very experienced builders ap-
proached us just over a year ago to design the project. In the time since, they have
built the molds, established a production plant, built Hull #1 and have #2 and #3
under construction and have confirmed seven orders …….all in a single year.
These guys definitely win the award for the most ambitious agenda actually achieved.
The vessel is infused composite construction using a very clever set of production
molds, Hull #1 weighs in a significantly under the designed weight and is a testament
to how good the Fathom crew is at weight control. First round of sea trials show a
lively performer and when the boat is all dialed in correctly should top out in excess
of 20 knots.
