Now enjoy voyaging waters with an expandable Wider Yacht. When completely-extended, the yacht expands with a walk-able surface of 193.5 square feet with a width of 21.6 feet. This is a magical discovery as it was apparently unimaginable a couple of years ago for a 42 foot yacht.

Transformable cockpit is one of the greatest designs by Tilli Antonelli. It can be automatically operated providing a large surface area like a very big boat. It’s incredible, fast and luxurious. It’s lightweight, but strong build by new vacuum infusion molding techniques for carbon. This process is also used in aeroplane and Formula 1 racing.

The yacht is powered by a 480Hp Cummins engine, which can provide a top speed of 50 knots. It includes a sink, Teppanyaki griddle, a sunbathing deck and a movable ice box. The yacht has C-shaped seating with an LED television. Wider Yacht’s seats can be converted to a double bed. It can accommodate more than 12 passengers.

The basic model of Wider Yacht will cost around $1.12 million.

The Sudbury Yacht Club is very excited because its new training vessels successful hit the water.

On July 9th, 2012, the company unveiled six two-person 420s and five single-person Optimist dinghys priced around $75,000 at the club’s headquarters on Ramsey Lake.

Up to $66,400 – this huge amount was offered by an Ontario Trillium Foundation.

Robert Montgomery said: “It’s a completely brand new fleet, which will replace all of training vessels.”

During the launching ceremony, a crowd of kids surrounded Rick Bartolucci, Niilo Saari and other Sudbury Yacht Club leaders.

Montgomery said: “I can guarantee you, each and every one of these kids is itching to use these boats.”

Bartolucci said: “You ensure that as you are upgrading your boats, the teaching you are going to be doing can be done in a safe and modern environment.”

The 11 dinghies will be appointed for teaching on a daily basis, especially during summer months.

Major retired training vessels like CL14s, CL11s, Alliauras and one older-model Optimist will be sold at auction to club members. The rest of the vessels will be auctioned off to public.

Aby, Sunderland’s sister tried to achieve a similar feat in 2010, but was discouraged when her mast was broken 2,000 miles west of Australia when she was already several months into her voyage.
