The new cruiser 60 looks great. Some questions:1) Can you give any ball park price? Six figures in euro I assume but what would be the first figure ready to cruise?
No price yet. But the Ballotta charge out rates for what are now experienced builders/infusers are way lower than Aus, NZ, Europe or the USA. Not sure about the Philippines, China etc, but they don't have the experience the Peruvians have. Final price will depend a lot on fit out. Georgio Ballotta is way more upfront about prices than any other one off builder (not surprising when he is so much cheaper), so i suspect he will publicise the price as soon as he knows it. Having the mould built will help as well for future boats.
2) Are the rudders bi-directional? No need to rotate them when shunting? And both linked to the one steering wheel?
Yes,no,yes. Connection will be hydraulic,whoich also means they don't have to be raked aft each shunt. Still looking into what options exist for having the rudders linked for crabbing.
3) Would it be possible to add some flair to the middle section of the lee hull to allow double cabins instead of singles and to reduce the claustrofobic feeling?
yes, but would increase the weight, cost and windage.
What is your opinion on the idea Rob? There are already 2 large double cabins. I am not a big fan of lots of people living in small spaces so would keep these for the kids.Feel free to send private message or to the group as you like.
