Mulder Shipyard is proud to announce that it has started the construction of the second 36-metre ThirtySix yacht in The Netherlands.
The third-generation Dutch yachtbuilder – which has created a fleet of over 100 motor yachts since 1938 – commissioned the first ThirtySix for an existing Mulder yacht owner’s colleague, who was impressed by the 34-metre Solis. The first ThirtySix will be delivered in summer 2017 from the yard's new facilities, opened in 2013.
The second ThirtySix, with delivery scheduled for 2018, also benefits from all the best features of Solis – itself built as an intimate family yacht – and more, including economic running costs for private or charter use for a yacht of her size, thanks to being below 300 GT.
The yacht is based on a patented Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) designed by Van Oossanen Naval Architects, with the yard collaborating with British design studio Claydon Reeves on the exterior design.
Performance wise ThirtySix provides a top speed of 16.8 knots, a cruising speed of 15 knots, and contains a transverse garage for a 6.25-metre tender, two jetskis, kayaks, seabobs and diving gear. Embarkation may be via the side-opening hatch and the open stern beach club platform. The eight-metre beam hull and long waterline, thanks to its plumb bow, ensure outstanding seakeeping and comfort even in rough seas.
The ThirtySix’ full-beam design allows for privacy in the owners’ area forward and maximizes the use of the hull and superstructure’s volume, the owners also having dedicated access to a private seating area in the bow. Four more spacious cabins on the lower deck, on the first vessel, allow for a party of up to ten.
Floor to ceiling windows around the saloon and bar, immediately aft, allow for expansive views aft and natural light to flood in, conservatory style. Full-height curtains may provide intimacy at night. Reached through large glass doors, the shaded aft deck seating provides the ideal spot for a cocktail or al fresco meal, overlooking the beach club.
Up top, the sun deck, reached via the raised wheelhouse or stairs from the side decks, sports an eight-person Jacuzzi, sun pads galore and another dining area. Built of aluminium, with a comprehensive specification as standard, in accordance with and under survey of the rules and regulations of LY3, the yacht is MCA Compliant allowing for future charter use.
The owner of this second ThirtySix will be able – at this stage in the build – to customize, specifying the interior finishes, changing the cabin configuration such as combining two guest cabins to make a vast VIP suite on the lower deck.
Columbus Yachts has delivered the 47-meter Atlantique series superyacht M/Y Acqua Chiara, now available for charter through Fraser Yachts.
