Omikron Yachts, the fresh face of Olympic Marine's renowned shipyard, reports significant strides in the OT60 series development. Hulls #3, #4, and #5 are progressing as scheduled, embodying the inaugural model's debut in a keen market. The project’s success is credited to a blend of experience and in-house talent, empowered by cutting-edge facilities and high-tech methodologies.
Hull #3, a Club variant with a full-beam cabin towards the bow divided into two double berths, is nearing completion. The deck gluing and interior installation are in their final stages. The focus now shifts to finishing the interiors, including the ceiling, with delivery to the Monaco-based owner slated for early 2024.
The journey of Hull #4, designed for three cabins, is well underway. Its hull, painted in a subtle grey chosen by the Greek owner, has transitioned to the assembly building for interior integration. Advanced electrical and plumbing systems are being incorporated, showcasing the shipyard's commitment to modern comfort standards at sea.
Concurrently, the construction of Hull #5 has initiated with the lamination process, a foundational stage setting the course for subsequent steps. Every construction phase combines traditional attention to detail with modern technology.
The OT60, an eco-cruiser inspired by the island-hopping lifestyle of the Eastern Mediterranean, prioritizes space and comfort at a leisurely pace. With efficient engines and a custom hull design by Juan-K, optimized for cruising at 10-12 knots, the OT60 achieves a range of 1000 nautical miles at 12 knots, consuming just 1.5 liters per nautical mile. Rooted in the waters surrounding Olympic Marine, the OT60 harmonizes with its natural habitat.
Nikolas Dendrinos, Chairman of Olympic Marine, expressed pride in the team's dedication, stating, "The meticulous work on Hulls #3, #4, and #5 showcases our commitment to quality, innovation, and responsiveness to our clients’ needs. The diversity of configurations reflects the flexibility of our offer and the varied preferences of our owners."
Between 1969 and the late 90s, the Olympic Yachts shipyard manufactured over 2,000 sailing boats. Starting in 2019, the shipyard underwent a comprehensive renovation, revitalizing its capabilities to design and manufacture contemporary, high-quality boats.
