Monday #1

Greenline 48 Fly:

Hybrid Propulsion Extends Range

The Greenline 48 Fly is designed and equipped to spend extensive time at sea. She has a diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system and solar panels on the roof of the main cabin charge three lithium-polymer battery packs. She’s also spaciously laid out and fitted with a long list of amenities to make on board living comfortable. There seems to be no doubt that electric power is the wave of the future both for automobiles and boats as well.

Sailfish 276DC:

Dual Console Built for Serious Work

The Sailfish 276DC has one of the highest freeboards in class, which means she is better able to take sloppy conditions offshore. This is her forte. Her cockpit depth (a function of freeboard) is 38” (96.52 cm) deep forward and 30” (76.2 cm) aft, 2” to 4” (5 to 10 cm) more than most boats in class. High-end items like the windlass with ground tackle and hardtop come standard, as do other items such as 2 showers, cockpit wet bar, deluxe power helm seat, 30-gallon (113.56 L) livewell, trim tabs, and an electric marine toilet with sitting headroom in the compartment. Carbon fiber is used in her deck for stiffness, and Kevlar is used in critical areas of the hull for strength and to prevent flex. Both Yamaha and Mercury engines are available.

Fleming 55:

The Ship That Launched a Million Dreams

The Fleming 55 was Tony Fleming’s first build when he founded Fleming Yachts 30 years ago. To say that she caught the imagination of a whole generation of cruising folks would be an understatement. Her classic lines still draw admiring looks when she passes by. The 55 is still going strong, with each new one a little different, and each as functional and desirable as the day the first one was launched. We should add that there is a waiting list for them – both new and used.
