New Sealine S330 sportscruiser
First new Sealine after the UK boatbuilder's acquisition by German yachtbuilder HanseAfter falling into administration last year and its subsequent acquisition by the Hanse Group, well-known UK pleasure-cruiser brand Sealine has had a new lease on life.
Hanse promptly shifted production to an efficient, modern factory in Germany, appointed international designer Bill Dixon (who works with Hanse's UK-derived Moody yachts among others), and set about creating a new range of innovative cruiser models.
The first of these, the all-new Sealine S330, has just been released.
Sealine describes the S330 as a 33ft sportscruiser with a dynamic hull design that provides "excellent performance whilst delivering light and space to the interior."
Buyers of this new entry-level Sealine can choose single or twin Volvo Penta engines with sterndrives for speeds up to 34 knots.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
Large hull windows and two skylights above the forward cabin and saloon allow natural light to flood below deck, while the superstructure is sleek with a dynamic profile.
The cruiser has a sporty look, overtly on-trend Euro lines, yet it achieves large interior dimensions. The cabin and saloon ceiling heights and bed sizes are said to be "best in the class."
On the one-level cockpit and helm deck, a U-shaped sofa seats six, there's a double co-pilot seat, plus sunbeds and a daybed via a cockpit-table conversion.
Two opening roof sections let you control the light and shade on deck, while a wetbar and second sink behind the helm position (as well as a full galley below deck) help sate the crew. Owners can opt to install an extra grill, although local buyers will probably add a decent barbecue instead.
Down below, there are two fully equipped private cabins with storage space. Alternatively, owners can choose a huge master suite incorporating the forward cabin and saloon and still have a separate aft cabin.
BILL DIXON'S VIEW
"Sealine motorboats have always been space-saving miracles. They really feel much larger than they are. I knew it was an attractive task to implement this philosophy to a 33ft boat. You can't just shrink a 38 footer down to 33 feet," designer Dixon says.
"You must take an entirely new approach to the length you have available. Good design always focuses on one, maybe two, signature elements that characterise the entire product. The hull, windows and roof are distinctive enough to spot the 330S amongst hundreds of boats in the marina," he adds.
The Sealine Range of boats is distributed into Australia and New Zealand by eyachts, which is part of the Windcraft Group.
The first Sealine 33 is expected to arrive in Australia in early 2015. Pricing and further details to come. The re-mergence of Sealine will provide bona fide competition for Bavaria's sportscruisers and those from other Euro stables.
