Why did you launch the Sunreef Open 40 Power?
It is a personal desire. The Sunreef Open 40 Power is a unique boat, it will not be a mass-produced boat. In any case, we don't have the tools at the yard to produce a large series. I think we will sell 2 or 3 of them in the year.
Can you explain the concept of the Sunreef Open 40 Power?
It is an open version tender. Even if there is a cabin on board and all the comfort elements, it is still a boat for the day. Moreover, the Oceanco shipyard has chosen it as the tender for its 90 m superyacht, the DAR.
Why this diamond coating?
It's a one off. The idea was to show our know-how in the field of luxury.
Is the motorboat a sector to be developed?
Today, our engine range is being renewed as we did for sailing. We are also launching new products, with a 65-foot boat that will replace the old 60/70-foot boat.
After the Sunreef Supreme 68 Power we are going to launch 48 and 58. We can't do smaller, because again, we don't have the production tools for it.
Designing a sailing catamaran and a power catamaran is totally different. We will continue to develop the powercat, to work on a low dynamic resistance of our boats, on comfort and customization since the customer can totally personalize his boat.
How long does it take to build a boat?
It took us 3 months to build the Sunreef 80. But if you start from the first pencil line to the launch, it will have taken 1 ½ years. We have 70 people working in the design office.
What is the next boat produced by Sunreef?
We are currently working on the Sunreef 80 Power . We will start the molds in November, but for the moment we are still in the feasibility studies. We were waiting for the sale of a first model to launch production and it is now done.
Do you have any other strategic development news?
We are working on building 100% custom boats. The idea is to translate customer demand and develop boats according to their desires. We also have a project for a large motor boat, but it is confidential.
