After creating the Italian Lobster Boat Style with the Dolphin line launched in 2003, Mochi Craft now enters the “expedition boat” market – also called “long range” – with two new solutions that open up new horizons in the international nautical panorama.
- The new hybrid propulsion system “Zero Emission Mode” allows the craft to be managed in 5 different ways – easily controlled through a touch-screen display – ranging from the traditional diesel function to the zero emissions mode, using different combinations of diesel engine, electric engine, inverter, batteries and generator.
- The new FER.WEY (Ferretti Wave Efficient Yacht) trans-planing hull ensures higher hydrodynamic efficiency than other planing or displacement hulls, thanks to the innovative design of the depth surface, permitting the boat to avoid adopting the usual stern-down (“pooped”) attitude when speed is increased. The new FER.WEY hull also reduces the typical roll experienced by displacement hulls and improves static stability by up to 50%. Its special design, with longitudinal tunnels protecting the props and a horizontal base on the bow bulb, allows the boat to rest on sandy bottoms and stay moored in locations subject to tides.
The two technologies - the hybrid propulsion system and trans-planing hull – combine and reinforce each other in a craft that offers a revolutionary design concept and solutions.
The Longe Range 23 is designed for spending long periods at sea in maximum comfort and total safety, backed by exceptional environmental awareness - the perfect mix of avant garde technology and Made in Italy design. The external lines are a synthesis of the Nordic “work boat” tradition and refined Made in Italy taste that Mochi Craft has skilfully expressed since 2003. In the interiors (3 or 4 cabins), the choice of prized materials, warm woods like teak and oak, natural fabrics and cutting edge design solutions redefine the concept of on board luxury and quality of life in the “expedition boat” market.
The innovative FER.WEY hull, which already offers great stability, is complemented by the Mitsubishi ARG, Anti Rolling Gyro System – worldwide exclusive to Ferretti – which cuts roll caused by wave motion at anchor or under way by up to 50%, and stabilising fins, both mounted as standard. The Long Range 23 is available with two latest-generation MAN Common Rail power options – a 500hp and an 800hp version. The 800hp engine provides a cruising speed of 13,5 knots and top speed of 16 knots (preliminary data).
