After two years of work, the Dennis Harjamaa designed Artnautica 60 Sportfisher is very near completion
With launching, of this highly anticipated carbon fibre luxury sport fisher due in September by Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders, completion is underway on the finishing touches on the Artnautica 60 Sportfisher. This exciting boat is being built for a New Zealand based client, who joins an exclusive group as the owner of a Lloyd Stevenson Boatbuilders built boat.
With the decks and superstructure having had their gloss finish coats applied, the hull top coats are scheduled for the coming days and the final touches of the interior fit-out are being completed.
The Artnautica 60 is a truly one of a kind custom build. With the owner and build team collaborating at every stagethe boat will be 100% the vision of its owner. When asked what the build experience has been like, project team leader Gareth Curd said ‘It has been awesome to have our client involved every step of the way. This has totally played into our strengths as custom boat builders, it means we have been able to include many of the small design changes and personal touches our client wanted as we have gone along. It has been a very interesting boat to build.’
Project manager Kerry Johnson added “It’s been great working with an owner who appreciates engineering effort and workmanship behind the scenes which is often overlooked and after working on some very complex superyacht tenders is was good to be able to include some actuator wizardry in this project too.”
Power is a pair of Volvo Penta D11 IPS 800 at 625 hp each, which should give a 30 knot top speed.
