Carbon 82 Project Overview
The Carbon 82 is a new generation of Cruiser Racer combining comfort, style and high performance – a balance often proving hard to achieve in a yacht of this size. Her elegant lines, Med-style cockpit and contemporary interior makes her the perfect fast cruising yacht and is guaranteed to turn heads wherever she goes.
The Carbon 82 is constructed entirely from pre-preg carbon utilizing the latest aerospace technologies. She is currently being completed at Carbon Ocean Yachts, USA. Carbon Ocean Yachts are a recently formed high end composite builder. She will be launched in September 2010.
The design has been in development for over a year and Rogers Yacht Design have transferred many of the technologies used in their racing yachts to guarantee a light, stiff and robust structure. An extensive tank testing and CFD program has been completed, to optimize the hull form for the IRC rating rule, making her a perfect choice for the new Cruiser Racer class for the Med circuit. Considerable effort has been spent on ensuring that all the sail handling systems are fit for racing and every maneuver can be achieved with minimum effort, whilst the aesthetics of the design are also respected and comfort maximized for extended cruising.
Her interior is light and contemporary and has been designed to suit the specific requirements of the individual owner. The current interior allows the owner to occupy the whole yacht from the saloon forward and gain a high degree of privacy, whilst also being able to create two separate cabins forward when cruising with guests. The saloon is spacious with an open plan layout, with the galley off to one side this then leads to the crew cabin aft, with an additional guest cabin on the opposing side. The flexible interior offers future owners the ability to specify a bespoke arrangement to suit their individual aspirations.
Externally the Carbon 82 has several distinctive features, the most significant being her large lazarette with direct deck access via her cockpit bomb doors (not via the transom). The lazerette can house a 3.25m Williams Jet tender with ample additional space for equipment. The movement of toys is easily achieved with the provision for a removable, electric Atlas Carbon Davit. Her deck layout is clean and simple and at a glance, her racing pedigree is clear; balance this with her spacious and comfortable super-yacht interior and you have the Carbon 82 a true Performance Cruiser Racer.
The design is available for future production in a semi-custom format, allowing clients to optimize the yacht for their specific requirements.
Carbon Ocean Yachts will be announcing in the near future new and exciting designs from Rogers Yacht Design. These new designs will complement the Carbon 82.
Owner’s Comment: “I am delighted with progress at Carbon Ocean Yachts since they have taken over the build of my new Aegir (Carbon 82). They define everything that I have been looking for in a builder, commitment, professionalism, financial control and timekeeping. With these key issues in place in this economic climate, I have little doubt that the result will be a absolutely stunning yacht delivered on time and on budget. The rest should all be plain sailing!”
