A marine exploration head, Arksen has announced specifications for its latest Arksen 65, which will be constructed with 40 per cent recycled aluminium.
The new Arksen 65 will be self-dependant and suitable for cruising in the seldom most visited nooks of the planet. Designated for owners driving their yacht, the Arksen 65s will have in-built navigation systems preferable for off-grid adventurous sails.
The use of aluminium is very clever as it is one of the most malleable and lightest metals found on this earth with an infinite recycling circle. The Arksen 65 will have a composition of 40 per cent recycled aluminium, and in case the yacht retires, the dismantling of the framework would be easy to forge some other end-user product.
The exterior helm will be placed perfectly with a low-slung hardtop, pushing the air draught down to just 12ft 2in (3.7m) for penetrating the inland waterways of Europe.
The main deck will feature a secure single-level walk-around with heightened forward bulwarks and an all-rounder open aft deck area. People standing in the central deckhouse can have a perfect view of the outsides due to the transparency of the vertically curved-glass bridge windows.
Ambitious sailors can regulate safe blue-water cruising with the help of the yacht’s enhanced control systems. This is an ideal option for recreational vacations, away from the hubbub of a city.
Motor, Boat and Yachting (MBY) editor, Hugo Andreae quoted: “While last year’s boating must-have was the beach club, this year it’s all about adventure yachting. I’m still trying to figure out exactly what this new catch-all really means as it seems to cover everything from 50-knot Axopar-style cabin boats to 12-knot displacement trawlers via long-range powercats.”
The interior of the yacht is properly knitted with an aft galley, a central helm placement and the main saloon making access to the lower deck easier. The central space in the front will be open for a third twin cabin, a lower galley or a snug owner’s study, with additional main deck space for lounge seating.
The yachts feature a 160hp John Deere diesel engine, which is expected to generate a top speed of 12 knots, with an expanded transoceanic range of 3,000nm at eight knots.
For enhanced performance and sustainability, a generator will be placed powered by solar panels that will provide a light hotel load without activating the engines. Moreover, a hybrid version will be available very soon.
“The only thing they all seem to have in common is a purposeful, upright, functional aesthetic. I rather like it and anything that encourages people to use their boats’ full potential can only be a good thing. Bring on the era of the adventure boat,” Hugo added.
The Arksen developers are eager to make the new 65 with aluminium that is 40 per cent recycled and can be fully recycled later.
