COUACH 3000 FLY YACHT
The French shipyard, Couach has unveiled its new 30 metre "3000 Fly
Yacht" model which is capable of reaching an impressive speed of 34
knots, thanks to its 2.400 HP engines with a relatively low fuel
consumption. A good overall match between the propulsion system and
hull design explains the result attained. In fact, at cruising speed
the Couach "3000 Fly Yacht," can cover distances of over 1,000
nautical miles. To achieve this performance, the shipyard's designing
team worked on the hull evolution of the popular "Long Range 2.800"
renowned for its cruising abilities, by fine-tuning the positioning of
the shaft tunnel and the exhaust system.
The design is typical of the
modern and sporty Couach style with its sleek lines and extensive
window panels running along the sides. One of two different layouts
may be chosen for the interiors. The first foresees four cabins below
deck: the owner's master cabin running full beam a-midships, another
with twin berths and two further "VIP" cabins. The second option
offers in place of the owner's master cabin, two double berth suites
for a total of five cabins. In both cases the crew's quarters are at
the extreme ends of the yacht. The bows in fact hosts a cabin with two
bunk berths and a bathroom whilst the Captain enjoys a "queen size"
berth in his own cabin and bathroom at the stern. The common areas do
not vary in both versions. At main deck level, moving from the bows
towards the stern, there is a wheelhouse with its built in area in
which to relax, a galley, a closet, mess area and main saloon. There
is a comfortable saloon in the cockpit outside, and a large sunbathing
facility with sun pads forwards as well as another dining area. The
"flying bridge," aside from hosting a double set of commands for the
yacht's manoeuvres, has a circular Jacuzzi, a range of sun pads for
the benefit of the sun lovers on board, and a saloon with bar.
