TP52 Maritimo 11 Launched by Maritimo’s Sail Racing division

Representing the Gold Coast and Queensland in the iconic 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race , sailing yacht  Maritimo 11  departed Southport Yacht Club with a rousing send-off from Mayor Tom Tate, joined by 100 family, friends and supporters. The yacht race from Sydney Harbour to Hobart, Tasmansia is celebrating its 77 th  edition with a strong fleet of 115 yachts.

The 628 nautical mile course is often described as the most grueling ocean race in the world, attracting sailors from around the world and the cream of Australian entries.  Maritimo 11  will compete in the 52-foot grand prix racing yachts class, against 12 other contenders, including two champion internationals.

The 15.85-metre yacht is a meticulously refurbished, Reichel Pugh-designed TP52 – a champion racing yacht brought to Australia from Mexico. The TP52 was originally designed for the Transpac Race from Los Angeles to Honolulu and is a lean, light-weight yacht with few creature comforts for crew. There are around 80 of these carbon fibre yachts racing in all parts of the world, and they are extremely competitive.

The TPs have dominated Australian ocean racing including the Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race in recent years and seem to enjoy a sweet spot under the IRC Handicap Rule that determines the overall winner of the Race.

In 2015, Paul Clitheroe’s TP52  Balance  was declared the overall winner of the 2015 edition, and Matt Allen TP52,  Ichi Ban  is a three-time winner of the prestigious Race, taking home the Tattersall Cup in 2021, 2019 and 2017.

Maritimo founder, Bill Barry-Cotter could see the untapped potential in the TP52 he located in Fiji which was then transported to Maritimo’s Coomera headquarters where the yacht underwent a thorough refit, including new sails and all navigation equipment to bring her up to the latest safety and racing standards.

Maritimo is unique as the only luxury motor yacht builder in the world with a dedicated sail racing division  and  world championship power race team all in-house. Celebrating the desire to win on all parts of the ocean is core to Maritimo’s DNA.

In 2021-22, Maritimo invested in a multi-million dollar expansion program to meet production demand from increased sales volumes. Integral to keeping pace with demand is the company’s focus on recruitment, training and development of the next generation of trades people. 

 “We are extremely proud to be a Gold Coast manufacturer, with more than 300+ employees and motor yachts that are prized around the world,” states Tom Barry-Cotter, Tom Barry-Cotter, Managing Director at Maritimo. “A testament to the skills and craftsmanship of our tradespeople,  Maritimo 11  will be flying the flag for the Gold Coast in the 2022 Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race.”

Michael Spies, veteran of 44 Rolex Sydney Hobart Race is at the helm and his crew of 14 includes Bill Barry-Cotter’s brother, Kendal, several champion sailors and Navigator Murray Spence.

Maritimo 11’s crew has an impress tally of 198 Rolex Sydney Hobart Races between the crew of 14.

Fourteen-year-old aspiring Olympic sailor, Addison Newlan who is supported by Maritimo in a yacht racing program was on  Maritimo 11  on the sail down to Sydney. Ensuring we nurture the next generation of sailors and power boaters is another endeavor that Maritimo takes very seriously. 

Addison raced with the crew during Australia’s Hamilton Island Race week and was part of the  Maritimo 11  delivery crew, but will have to wait a few more years before she can compete due to the event’s age requirement of 18. However, being part of the highly experience crew is an exceptional opportunity for the 14 year old school girl.

Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate, VIP guests and supporters bid farewell  Maritimo 11  and wish her crew a safe and successful race south.

The Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race has become an icon of Australia’s summer sport, ranking among such popular national spectator events as the Melbourne Cup, the Australian Open tennis and the Boxing Day cricket test. The Race start at 1pm Boxing Day (December 26 th ) on Sydney Harbour and attracts thousands of pleasure craft and many thousands of spectators along the shore.

Following the Boxing Day start, you can track the progress of  Maritimo 11  on the official  race tracker .

A unique distinctive of Maritimo is the fact that it is the only luxury motor yacht builder in the world with both a racing boat division and a world-championship race team in-house, providing the experiential knowledge base for continual improvement and industry leading motor yacht hull design and construction, structural integrity, and optimized power train. Maritimo’s line of offshore racing boats has informed the design and construction of the motor yachts from its founding, driving the team’s passion to pursue perfection and a relentless commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, integrity, and excellence. The technological advancements gained from the rigors of offshore racing are refined, tested, and imparted to every Maritimo motor yacht for excellent seakeeping, handling, efficient performance, and luxurious comfort Maritimo owners have come to expect.

Key areas directly benefitting from the extreme testing ground of world championship ocean powerboat racing are the production processes—developing smarter solutions and problem-solving systems. Focus is on the driver to deliver maximum responsiveness out of power and drive systems along with a comfortable, well-arranged helm to provide necessary control, reliability, and stability. The hydraulic power steering system is directly race-proven to be ultra responsive for long range cruises and effortless control in all conditions.

The patented construction method, with an integral fuel tank design, has withstood the constant pounding wave impact and immensely high G-Forces of offshore racing, for reassuring confidence at sea and long-lasting durability. Stability and balance are maximized by positioning the tanks low in the boat and near the engines to keep weight at the center of gravity for minimal impact to the vessel’s handling as fuel is used on a long journey.

Luxury motor yacht manufacturer Maritimo currently offers three series— M-Series Flybridge Motor Yachts ranging from the flagship Maritimo M75, M64, M60, M55, and M51. Maritimo sets the bar world-wide for true long-range motor yachts with spaciousness, comfort, and power. Maritimo combines exceptional performance and signature features in the distinctively recognizable Maritimo M-Series motor yachts. Some of the hallmarks of the M-Series include the aft bi-fold entry doors that open to blend the formal salon and aft galley with the spacious cockpit entertainment area. The internal staircase to the enclosed flybridge “skylounge” (with fold-out sofa option—two in the M75) and sliders to the aft balcony deck add to the extensive entertainment areas. The amazing hull volume allows a full-beam king master in each M-Series model while maximizing height and minimizing steps in the seamlessly flowing versatile indoor/outdoor living spaces throughout the yachts.

All new Maritimo motor yachts can be owner-personalized with a wide array of options. S-Series Sedan Motor Yachts ranging from the Maritimo S75, S60, S55, and S51, feature an open stern with massive “Adventure Deck” and hardtop “Utility Deck” with davit for launching/retrieving a tender or jet skis. The S-Series offers single level convenience with the Maritimo-pioneered aft galley positioned between the aft outdoor living spaces and the interior salon lounge areas and helm. The sedan motor yachts are ideally designed for long-range cruising at comfortable, fuel-efficient speeds. Sides decks safely access the forward lounge area.

Offshore Series Motor Yachts are the Maritimo M600 with a flybridge skylounge (enclosed with air-conditioning and internal stairs to main deck) and cockpit with enclosed transom for fishing; and the Maritimo S600 Sports Sedan with single level main deck. The Maritimo Offshore Series blends luxurious comfort and livability with long-range ocean travel and serious fishability.

Maritimo Offshore specialty features include the deep walkthrough side decks, the upper “Alfresco Cockpit” that is level with the main deck salon, lower aft “Offshore Cockpit” with room to walk around a full gamefish fighting chair, livewells, fish boxes, plumbed tuna tubes, rod holders, hinged transom door, and much more. Quarter clears provide side windscreens in the upper cockpit and roll-down clears are concealed in the overhead that button to the upper cockpit’s aft lounge when full weather protection is preferred. An entertainment module with electric grill, sink, and fridge/freezer is conveniently positioned between the cockpits. The flybridge skylounge features a convertible sofa for extra accommodation if needed.

Maritimo holds a world patent for how the fully molded structural liners bond to the solid fiberglass hull’s gel coated fiberglass liner structure. The same system is used for headliners, deck liners, hull liners and are integrally connected together, like a monocoque structure that is very smooth and strong. It is easy to clean and trouble-free with no core through the hull liner. Maritimo’s simplicity of engineering makes the yachts easy to manage, very durable and reliable for a more pleasurable boating experience.

Currently available brokerage Maritimo motor yachts range in length from a 2015 Maritimo S62 to a 2014 Maritimo 470 Offshore Convertible, with most ranging in the mid-50s length and feature the enclosed flybridge motor yacht model.

A DEFINITION ICON

“The M60 Flybridge Motor Yacht combines a stunningly balanced exterior profile, with an immensity of cockpit deck, and adventure deck space with the ability to cater to a vast range of entertaining, relaxation, or adventuring activities”.

Tom Barry-Cotter Director of Design

The M60, the latest spectacular new addition to our M-Series Flybridge Motor Yacht lineage, has been a new model development of the highest focus and detail across all divisions of Maritimo since the beginning of the project – for a very special reason.

The M60 carries the designation of the very inception of the Maritimo flybridge motor yacht known today – The highly acclaimed Maritimo 60.

“At the beginning of this project, it was made clear by Maritimo founder, Bill Barry-Cotter, that the M60 had to be a motor yacht that was truly special, as the 60’ flybridge designation was something that he held close to his heart,” said Barry-Cotter.

As soon as you step aboard the new M60 you will appreciate the Maritimo difference and you will be immediately captivated by its space – easily accommodating your family in style, safety and comfort. A fully enclosed climate-controlled flybridge sky lounge with internal staircase access provides the essential comfort needed for long-range cruising and passage making.

REIMAGINED DECK SPACES

The reimagined adventure deck and lower cockpit space offers a fully lined 3.2m tender garage beneath, whilst the large alfresco upper cockpit provides considered and versatile living space. Deep walk-around decks with minimal steps provide safe and easy accessibility for the whole family.

SPACIOUS SKY LOUNGE

It is beyond the flybridge skylounge doors where the M60 really begins to excel. The flybridge balcony deck offers an unprecedented 11.0㎡of protected outdoor deck space, which is fully protected by the flybridge hardtop and awning. Maritimo's acclaimed fully enclosed climate-controlled flybridge also features internal staircase, and two dedicated flybridge lounging areas.

SOPHISTICATED SALOON

Maritimo’s aft galley seamlessly connects the upper cockpit deck and the enormous saloon lounging area. Injecting light and air to the saloon and flybridge is the option of Maritimo’s unique two-stage vista sliding windows which transform the areas into an indoor/outdoor escape.

ALLURING ACCOMMODATION

Below deck free-flowing spaces utilize the hull’s volume, maximising height and minimising the number of steps. Three spacious staterooms and two ensuites are on offer, with full-beam king master stateroom, offset queen forward stateroom, and twin single starboard guestroom.

Italy's Luna Rossa showed two skippers are better than one on the America's Cup yachts

Spain america's cup sailing.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Before the last America’s Cup, Italy’s sailing team had what helmsman Francesco Bruni called a “crazy” idea: run the boat with two skippers, each taking turns steering as the foiling yacht crisscrossed the race course.

While the other crews lost valuable time as their sole skipper scampered back and forth with each tack or jibe, Bruni and Jimmy Spithill stayed put, each manning their own helm on their side of the boat.

It turned out to be a stroke of genius.

The innovative setup helped Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Team win the challengers’ series and advance to face Team Emirates New Zealand three years ago, when it lost to the defenders but not before a hard fight.

“It was a crazy idea back in the day, but we felt strongly (about it), and we keep it secret for quite a long time,” Bruni told The Associated Press. “And then it was too late for the other teams to react.”

The move was so successful that now all the boats, including that of the almighty Kiwis, have copied it at the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona.

“There’s no copyright on good solutions,” coach Philippe Presti said about the other teams following his Luna Rossa’s lead.

Luna Rossa is back in the final of the Louis Vuitton Cup for the challengers in a rematch of the 2021 final when the Italians beat INEOS Britannia. The first-to-seven series starts on Thursday. The winner will get a shot at dethroning New Zealand next month in the America’s Cup match.

Even though its rivals are also now going with a two-skipper scheme, Luna Rossa is counting on its experience edge thanks to this being the second campaign with Bruni and Spithill in sync.

“It’s something that’s pretty special. You know, we’ve had this partnership from the last campaign,” said Spithill, a two-time America’s Cup winner with Oracle Team USA in 2010 and 2013.

“The fact that you’re going through more of these high-pressure situations when you do things well, but more importantly, when you make mistakes, that’s actually a critical time," he added. "And we’ve built up a really good relationship.”

Bruni said that the genesis of the dual-helm idea was hatched about three years before the 2021 America's Cup in Auckland. Presti said that it came out of a long brainstorming and problem-solving process involving several minds.

The problem to solve was how to deal with the huge sails that come right down to the deck and cut off half the visibility of the skipper. As Bruni described it: “You need to think about a car that has a big blanket in the middle and you can't see one side.”

“It was not something that someone one day woke up (and said), ‘Oh, we’ve got to do that',” Presti said. “It was really a work in progress. And then all of a sudden we find ourselves lucky that Checco (Bruni) was a lefty and, Jimmy was right-handed.”

The ice man and the volcano

The relationship between the two helms varies on each team.

Ben Ainslie , the most successful sailor in Olympic history, is clearly the leader of Britannia, where co-helm Dylan Fletcher said he defers to his judgment. Two-time America's Cup winner Peter Burling also has the last word on the New Zealand boat.

On American Magic, ousted by Luna Rossa last round, former Olympic rivals Tom Slingsby and Paul Goodison said each would be in charge when they were on the helm. But when Goodison was injured from a fall and had to be replaced by Lucas Calabrese, then the more experienced Slingsby said he needed to become more vocal.

Communication became key for success. The non-driving helm feeds information and paints a picture of the other side of the race to his partner via a microphone and earpiece.

And, as Bruni summed up his partnership with Spithill: “There is no finger pointing.”

The complementary characters of Spithill and Bruni also helped Luna Rossa, Presti said.

“The two are totally opposite in their character. Jimmy is pretty calm, really kind of the ice man, while Checco is volcanic and really alive, full of emotion,” Presti said. “That’s the beauty of this setup: you’ve got some different personality, different feedback, and huge respect.”

That difference was clear when they finished off American Magic. While Spithill kept his elation to a smile, Bruni shouted with joy over the team radio on crossing the finish line.

Global reveal | maritimo m75 flybridge motor yacht.

Leading Australian luxury motor yacht manufacturer Maritimo, is set to begin an exciting new era as it unveils the largest motor yacht in its history, with the global reveal of the brand’s latest flagship vessel, in the form of the new M75 Flybridge Motor Yacht.

Eighteen years ago, Maritimo redefined the long-range cruising motor yacht concept with the inception of the legendary enclosed flybridge motor yacht it is recognised internationally for today.

In that time, Maritimo has continually evolved and refined the flybridge motor yacht concept with close collaboration between it’s completely inhouse Australian design team, and its growing family of Maritimo owners around the world.

Of all the Maritimo flagships that precede it, none have had the level of customer input or degree of design development as the M75 Flybridge Motor Yacht. This stunning vessel will set Maritimo apart from its competitors on the international stage.

Maritimo’s Director of Design, Tom Barry- Cotter said “The all new M75 has stemmed from the most in-depth design and development process ever undertaken in Maritimo history, with it being conceptualized and developed with Maritimo’s design division and collaborating owners for more than two years”.

In preparation for the evolution of the new M75 Maritimo’s state of the art Australian based production facilities underwent extensive upgrades and expansions, which were completed in 2019. The state-of-the-art facilities were purposely designed to give Maritimo the capability of manufacturing larger vessels, such as the M75.

The global reveal of the iconic new flagship marks the seventh launch or reveal for Maritimo in 2021, as the renowned long range motor yacht brand sees record demand, with several orders for the M75 already in its production pipeline.

The M75 Flybridge Motor Yacht is slated for its official global launch late 2022.

Function Driven Exterior Form

Barry-Cotter said of all features within the M75 Flybridge Motor Yacht, the most clearly apparent can be experienced in its first impression.

‘Carrying the designation of the brand’s flagship status, the M75 has been cloaked in a mighty exterior form from bow to stern,” he said.

“The M75’s hull profile is personified by sweeping longitudinal contours and styling cues combined with integral hull windows gracing the hull topsides, providing the internal accommodations with unprecedented views and natural light.

“Sleek moulded contours transition from the aft portofino internal hips into the deep walkthrough side decks that flank each side of the deckhouse, connecting the forward and rear decks with the functionality that Maritimo has become known for.

“Exterior flybridge wings provide further brand defining function in the space they offer within the enormous flybridge level, as well as protection provided over the side decks.”

He said the iconic flybridge and hardtop contours elongate the M75’s stationary profile, whilst completely protecting the upper cockpit and flybridge cockpit decks.

A Long-Range Cruising Legacy

Barry-Cotter said Maritimo’s esteemed standing and recognition amongst the world leaders in long range cruising motor yachts has been earned from dedication to crafting vessels capable of travelling further, and more confidently than ever before.

The M75 sets a new tide mark for Maritimo with its inherited capacities and capabilities. It’s 75’ 8” (23.07m) by 19’ 8” (6.0m) hull is the latest evolution of Maritimo’s longstanding experience in long range cruising hull design. The variable deadrise hull with deep keel, sharp bow entry and flattened progression aft has been focused on offshore cruising efficiency, cruising comfort and stability.

The Hull design and engineering are centered on straight shaft drive technology with the standard Scania Di16-1150MHP power units transferring power to the water via an ultra-efficient, shallow straight shaft angle to the 5x Blade Nibral Propellers.

The M75’s low angle straight shaft drives also reduce overall draft to a very versatile 1.5m (4’11”) opening an array of anchorage possibilities within any region.

Engine upgrade options include MTU 10V2000M86 1380MHP and MTU 10V2000 M96L 1625MHP power units.

The M75’s 10,000L (2641 US GAL) fuel capacity, also opens the door to a range of destinations, as the immense standard fuel capacity combined with Maritimo’s esteemed economical cruising efficiency will ensure owners can reach those secluded destinations with minimal stops.

The M75 incorporates Maritimo’s latest fuel system design, which is comprised of three tanks that are designed to lower the vessel’s centre of gravity and further increase stability.

Two 3500L (924 US GAL) wing tanks flanking each hull side compliment a 3000L (792 US GAL) main tank located along the M75’s keel line, keeping the large mass of fuel as low as possible in the hull, creating greater stability.

Unparalleled Deck Spaces

“Step aboard, and the first impression the M75 emanates is certainly that of unsurpassed amounts of deck space,” said Barry-Cotter. “The M75 adventure deck creates an incredibly versatile hub for lounging, cooking, adventuring or storage, with plenty of room to spare.

“Front and center of the immense adventure deck is the wet bar module with sink, top loading refrigeration, and electric grill. Integral within the wet bar module is access to the utility cabin with secondary engine room access.

“Flanking each side of the adventure deck are large top loading storage lockers and rear fairleads with optional capstan winches.

“Three steps up from the adventure deck is the gigantic upper cockpit deck, where the deck space spreads out to the outer bulwarks, maximizing available decks space, thanks to the on-deck storage lockers being located aft on the lower adventure deck.”

All furniture within the upper cockpit deck is designed in modules in order to enable owners to be fluid in how they would like their cockpit to be arranged, with all options comfortably catering for a minimum of 8 guests in any lounging or dining arrangement.

The flybridge headliner fully covers the extremities of the upper cockpit deck, with the option of electric roller blinds which can encase the entire area in seconds, to give privacy, or to protect from weather.

Deep walk-through side decks connect the upper cockpit to the forward deck from both sides.

The forward deck can be optioned for tender storage or for outdoor lounging, with free standing sun bed and forward-facing lounge.

Spacious Saloon & Galley

Barry-Cotter said Maritimo’s long range legacy is not just limited to its engineering pedigree and offshore cruising performance.

“Seamlessly connecting the upper cockpit deck and the luxurious saloon lounging area, is the iconic Maritimo long range aft galley,” he said.

“It serves both indoor and outdoor dining areas, and socially connects those preparing the meal with who is already dining and entertaining, with the storage and functionality for owner’s to comfortably live aboard for extended stays.

“Circling an enormous island bench breakfast bar as the galley centerpiece, the M75 touts Maritimo’s largest and most bespoke galley to date.

“Veiling all sides of the M75 saloon are enormous sections of glazing, injecting the surrounding seascapes right into the living and dining areas. There is also the added option of Maritimo’s unique two stage vista sliding windows which transform the entire saloon into an indoor/outdoor retreat.”

The spacious saloon lounge incorporates dedicated lounging and dining areas, with forward mounted 55” TV on electric lift, which is viewable from all areas across the saloon, galley and upper cockpit.

The saloon lounge is central to two adjoining staircases, one transitioning to the lower accommodation and the other to the enclosed flybridge via the aft internal flybridge staircase.

The Ultimate Cruising Comfort

Another esteemed legacy the evolution within the M75 has built upon, is the iconic Maritimo long range enclosed flybridge design.

Although the defining features have advanced into an entirely new realm within the M75 flybridge design, the function they provide remains the same as Maritimo’s original enclosed flybridge design of years gone by.

The defining feature of the Maritimo M-Series is its recognizable enclosed flybridge skylounge with internal staircase – providing the ultimate comfort for any long-distance passage.

The M75’s climate controlled flybridge skylounge offers unprecedented amounts of interior space through the design of the exterior wings melded within the swept contours of the flybridge’s exterior form.

The space incorporates a pair of distinct internal lounging areas, with a forward cruising lounge and aft TV lounging, which can both conveniently convert to additional sleeping berths if required.

The M75 flybridge also offers the option for a flybridge head, as well as optional glass partition and door atop of the internal stairs.

The partition conveniently gates the stairwell for safety as well as enhances sound suppression, and can also be optioned with privacy blinds to also enable the flybridge space to double as further accommodation.

Beyond the flybridge sliding glass doors, the flybridge balcony deck offers further unprecedented amounts of deck space.

Once again, all outdoor seating has been designed in modules, so owners can opt between transverse facing, or forward facing U-Shaped lounging options.

Above, the flybridge hardtop fully shades and protects the flybridge balcony deck, with the ability for hidden roll-down blinds to conveniently encase the area from the elements.

Above in the headliner either four manual skylight hatches, or two electric sunroofs enable fresh light to conveniently enter when needed, with ease.

Restful Retreat

The M75’s open atrium companionway design is the largest and most unique companionway in its class. The floating feature staircase invites more natural light and creates an openness for the companionway laundry area, which sets the spacious tone for the largest accommodation ever featured within a Maritimo.

The flagship’s accommodations are designed around a four stateroom and three ensuite layout, with the option for further crew accommodation and ensuite in lieu of the aft utility cabin.

The forward VIP guest stateroom includes an offset queen berth with adjoining private ensuite. The offset berth arrangement provides greater practicality for guests to walk around all sides of the berth without navigating steps, which greatly simplifies any bed-making duties.

A generous twin guest stateroom and adjoining ensuite and day head awaits guests to starboard, with the option for the inner bed to slide outboard to create a double bed for couples.

Another spacious bunk guest stateroom is located to port, with the proportions to comfortably sleep teens or adults if required.

It is midships where the M75’s grandeur can be completely experienced. The master stateroom is centered upon a centerline king size bed with cavernous rear ensuite and walk-through robe area.

Storage is prevalent with double full height hanging robes, double half-height robes, and copious amounts of customizable drawer, desk and lounge storage available.

Maritimo’s largest Panoramic hull windows to date veil each hull side, providing exceptional vistas and enabling owners to feel connected with the environment.

Storage Solutions

Essential in catering for long range capability are storage options for additional supplies, water toys, fishing gear, safety gear and tenders – The M75 Flybridge Motor Yacht caters to these needs with an abundance of storage via the aft garage lazarette and utility cabin.

The expansive adventure deck space can be lifted via electric actuators to uncover the expansive garage lazarette area. The tender garage has the ability to house a 3.2m (10’ 3”) tender when optioned with 350kg rear davit.

Alternatively the fully lined garage space can be used to store additional supplies, adventure toys such as kayaks, SUP’s, and SCUBA gear.

The M75 also offers much larger tender storage options within the forward deck landing with the option for a forward mounted 500kg davit, as well as large tender storage options atop of the expansive adventure deck, or cradled on an optional 1.4m hydraulic platform.

Global Launch | 2022

Maritimo have already secured numerous orders from customers involved within the design development, with the first scheduled for delivery in the final quarter of 2022 and orders already into 2024.
