THE GB85. GRAND BANKS ON A GRAND SCALE!

The GB85 is not simply a bigger Grand Banks. True, at 87 feet, this exquisite, long-distance cruiser is the largest yacht we’ve ever built. But her most impressive statistics are not to be found in her dimensions, but in the best-in-class figures we’re recording for her fuel efficiency and range. That’s where you will indeed find a big difference!

Thanks to the hydrodynamics of our proprietary V-Warp technology, the Grand Banks 85 uses half the fuel of other 85 footers as she requires half the horsepower to achieve the same speeds and performance.

Owners and their guests will travel further, faster and spend more time exploring their destination and less time at the fuel dock.

Needless to say, her interiors and amenities are everything you’d expect from a name that is synonymous with luxury and elegance. Her extended length and 22ft beam allow us to offer a wide range of configurations. Hull number 1 has three massive staterooms and separate crew quarters that can be used for children or additional guests.

ROBOT ARMS, CRAFTSMAN’S HANDS

Size was not our primary concern. You could sum up our approach as, ‘Better is Bigger’ and not the other way round. Quality and efficiency have always been our guiding principles.

The GB85 is essentially a man-made boat although robotics is playing an increasingly important role in our manufacturing process. Our 8-axis robots have enabled us to build the moulds for larger and more complex parts with greater accuracy and, in 2019, we won the award for ‘Innovation in a Production Process’ at the Boat Builder Awards.

But ultimately, the craftsmanship that has traditionally defined our brand rests in human hands and in the passion for perfection that motivates our team.

FROM THE BOTTOM UP

The GB85 is built using our proprietary V-Warp technology. Our unique hull form was designed by our CEO Mark Richards in partnership with his team of naval architects and was informed by data from NASA and the US Navy. This elongated version features our characteristically fine entry that flares amidships to roll the seas away from the yacht. In Mark’s words, “With this hull form, the longer the boat, the better she’ll run!”

The science bears him out. In tow tank testing at the Australian Maritime College in Tasmania, the ’85 delivered extraordinary results. At 21 knots there was virtually no wake! To sum up Mark’s reaction, “Mate, most other vessels of this size would be towing a tidal wave!”

LIGHTER YET STRONGER

The hull employs vacuum-infused E-Glass with carbon fibre in the structural areas, cored with Corecell ® and Airex ® foam, stitched multi-axial fabric and 100% Vinylester resins. Everything else, the longitudinals, the transversals, the bulkheads, the entire deck and superstructure are formed from fully infused carbon fibre. As a result, these structures are lighter but stronger with a higher fibre-to-resin ratio and have enabled us to hit our target weight of 40.6 metric tons.

The practical value of this approach is clearly evident in the displacement figures. The GB85 has a half-load displacement of just over 126,000lbs, a remarkable achievement when you consider that rival boats of this size are routinely weighing in at over 150,000lbs!

Overview Continued...

Design and Engineering

From the renowned naval architects of Norman R Wright and Sons the hull is designed to be the most efficient and most beautiful semi-displacement hull on the water. 

Building on their experience we have made extensive use of Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD software to fine tune the hull design to ensure it is absolutely the most efficient it can be and have the best possible behavioural characteristics in all sea states.

Composite engineers have designed the optimum strength/weight ratio of the structure, so we retain the traditional robust construction you would expect from Fleming – but it is achieved with less weight and is all verified by DNV.

The hull design and engineering will result in the best fuel economy and range of any semi displacement boat in the world. 

The absolute highest specification of equipment available - as standard – installed the Fleming way, with redundancy and access for maintenance in mind.

Two versions

Open air – for those who prefer the wind in their hair, the traditional style Fleming open flybridge.

Enclosed – The pilothouse is moved to the upper deck where it is fully enclosed and still fully outfitted like a Fleming pilothouse should be. Down below more space is opened up for flexible dining and entertaining.

Style 

Exterior - The lines and the look are unmistakably classic Fleming. Furthermore the exterior details have been refined and simplified to create a cleaner look with flush and hidden hardware throughout.

Interior – Various options from traditional to contemporary, but always elegant, warm, comfortable and practical. Double glazing as standard throughout keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer.

Deck Spaces

Foredeck – Hydraulic and electric Maxwell windlasses, Ultra anchors and s/s chain. Huge storage lockers for all shapes and sizes of gear. Fold away seating alcove.

Flybridge deck – Everything you need for cruising, entertaining and relaxing as well as space for a 17 foot tender that can be launched on either port or stbd sides via the 2000lb crane.

Aft deck – Raised and sheltered seating and dining for 10 with amenities you need and sheltered gul-wing door access to engine room and crew’s quarters below.

Cockpit – Easy access, ample storage for all the dive gear and fishing equipment you may need. Warping winches to help take the load off

Swim platform – expansive enough for all uses and hydraulic lowering option makes it easy for additional tender or PWC storage and launching. 

Easy boarding – Multiple side boarding gates make accessibility from fixed or floating docks easy and safe for all.

Viking Sport Cruisers 85 Motor Yacht

• By George Sass, Jr.
• Updated: September 14, 2009

Enough time has passed that I feel comfortable mentioning an overall boatbuilding blunder that transpired during the go-go days of the old economy-you know, the period that vanished with a puff about a year ago. During this crazy time, I sensed something wicked was brewing when our editorial office received weekly press releases announcing the birth of yet another boatbuilder or perhaps a new model. Many of these designs never made it to launch day, while others, unfortunately, did.

In my opinion, we experienced a shallow period in boatbuilding. There was a rush to bring product to market in order to meet a superficial demand. Thus, features such as the number of flatscreen televisions, MP3 plugs, exotic counter materials, and the type of leather on the sofa outweighed priorities such as hull design, cruising comfort, performance, and quality construction. Some in the industry lost sight of the real joy and importance of going to sea on a good, comfortable, honest boat.

Well, those days are nothing but a memory. A new trend is once again blazing the trail, clawing past all the static of the past: real boats, built for real boaters, by real boatbuilders. And that’s exactly what I met head-on while running the new Viking Sport Cruisers 85 Motor Yacht on the south cost of England. This peppy little ship was designed to cruise in comfort and safety-pure and simple.

A major reason for the success of the 85, and the entire Sport Cruisers line for that matter, is the collaboration between U.K.-based Princess Yachts and New Jersey’s Viking Yachts. Each Viking Sport Cruiser that I’ve tested since 2000 reveals a smart blend of practicality, sound engineering, and timeless style. “Our guys use their boats,” said James Noble, Viking Sport Cruisers’ marketing director. Princess offers the engineering, construction, and design expertise, and incorporates Viking’s formidable building experience, strong dealer network, and knowledge of how its customers go boating. It’s a tough formula to beat.

During our test, Noble made it clear that the new 85 is not simply an evolution of the now discontinued 84. Instead, it is actually a “smaller” SC 95. I ran the 84 in 2001 and at the time was impressed by the interior volume and layout. Yet, to Noble’s point, the 85 is vastly different. For example, the deckhouse of the 84 curved inward. Yes, it was a nice design element, but the treatment compromised some interior volume in the salon and galley areas. On the other hand, the most noticeable feature when walking through the double-sliding doors of the 85 is the expansive space. Part of this can be attributed to the salon layout and use of free-form furniture. Our test boat featured a sofa with two armchairs, opposite a large-screen television. Forward is a dining table with seating for eight and lockers to house the factory-supplied dishware. It’s refreshing to see a dining table that can actually accommodate the same number of diners that the yacht can berth. The entire salon and dining area is bathed in cascading natural light from thoughtfully placed side windows that also allow you to see the world passing by as you relax on the sofa. These details do not happen by accident.

The galley also offered a pleasant departure from many European designs. For the most part, European galleys tend to resemble the butler’s pantry of other boats, particularly American ones. The galley on the 85 is not immense, but it is larger than some of its competitors’ and very functional, thanks to a full range of appliances. Our test boat featured an optional configuration that kept the area open to the pilothouse. Standing at the counter, the cook can easily serve anyone seated at the small dinette in the lower helm area. There was plenty of counter space for serious meal preparation and enough stowage to provision for an extended cruise. A side door will allow service crew to come and go without disturbing guests.

Are there bigger galleys in some other similar-sized U.S.-built boats? You bet, but often those are at the expense of a functional lower helm station. That’s not the case on the 85. Every Viking Sport Cruiser I’ve tested has featured an exceptionally designed helm area. On the 85, all gauges are placed directly in the line of sight, as is the full electronics array. The single-lever throttle and gear controls are placed perfectly within reach, providing a natural orientation along with an extremely comfortable, form-fitting, helm seat. You could use the dinette to port to spread out a chart and cruising guides while planning your next destination.

Walking through the lower deck, I was reminded yet again that the 85 shares more of a family pedigree with the 95 than the 84. The primary difference is the result of placing the crew quarters abaft the engineroom on the 85. (They were in the forepeak of the 84 with access from a bow hatch.) This provides a true four-stateroom, fourhead layout. The master stateroom expands across the entire beam and rivals many 100-footers. There are four large ports on each side, providing a light, airy feel. I especially like the dinette for two on the starboard side. It provides a perfect perch to wake up with a morning cup of coffee and the paper, or to spread out with a laptop and bang out some work after your morning swim.

Forward, the starboard stateroom has a walkaround berth, two opening ports, and two hanging lockers. You can also specify two berths side by side in this cabin. The port cabin on our test boat featured two twin berths. Both staterooms are en suite. Forward is a huge VIP stateroom, with a walk-in locker, plenty of stowage, and a vanity.

By moving the crew quarters abaft the engineroom, the designers were able to create first-class crew accommodations, unlike a lot of European boats in this size range. Features include a separate crew mess with a refrigerator, plus a dinette, and two good-sized staterooms.

Engineroom access is through the crew area. (Soft patches are incorporated in the salon sole above in case an engine needs to be removed.) I found the space on the old 84 tight, but serviceable. On the 85, there is more than enough room to get around the 1,825-horsepower Caterpillar C32A diesels. Wiring runs were neat, coded, and labeled. It was obvious that thought was given to making both routine service checks and major service items easy. Like Noble said, his buyers use their boats. And this area would represent a home run to that clientele.

The thoughtful details continued on deck, with attention to small items-like placing the water fills aft, accessed from the swim platform. Anyone who has dragged a dirty hose across a deck will appreciate this thoughtful feature. Forward, there is a large deck locker, and a clever seating area with a sunpad, settee, and table. A dual windlass system will address a variety of anchoring and mooring needs.

Viking Sport Cruisers offers a flying bridge option that is constructed and outfitted in New Jersey by its subsidiary. The bridge on our test boat was set up for cruising and entertaining alike. There is plenty of seating for relaxing guests, and features include a Jacuzzi, large bar, ice maker, grill, and another well-thought-out helm station.

One of the things I’ve come to expect about a Viking Sport Cruiser is that she’s not just another pretty face-and the 85 is certainly no exception. With the C32A diesels, she achieves a cruising speed of between 26 and 28 knots, depending on how the boat is outfitted. Expect stabilizers to take a little over a knot of speed away. The top end is again between 30 and 32 knots. (Our test boat was lightly equipped, with no gear, tender, or stabilizers.) It stands to reason that a company such as Viking Yachts, known for fast, tough convertibles, would ensure its builder partner would be of similar pedigree. In a gradual three- to four-foot swell, the 85 rose on plane with no protest, settling in on about a five-degree running angle. She has the response of a boat about half her size.

The Viking Sport Cruisers 85 Motor Yacht is proof positive that if a builder finds its niche, success will follow. When it goes above and beyond that to ensure it’s building boats for serious yachtsmen to take cruising, not to just hang out on at a marina, then success is almost guaranteed. After all, we’re finding our that the good old days weren’t always as good as they seemed.

The expansive use of glass on the lower deck assures an environment full of light. The master adds a sliding glass door to the beach club to further blur the line between inside and out. The main deck continues this theme with sculpted windows and a sliding glass door. A pair of gull wing doors gives the yacht a distinctive, stylish appeal that other yachts envy and onlookers praise.

Boat of the Week: This 85-Foot Catamaran Is Ready to Take Anglers to Offshore Fishing Grounds

Big catamarans haven't been considered worthy sportfishing machines. that could change with this innovative design., julia zaltzman, julia zaltzman's most recent stories.

The multihull pairs the same high-volume, tri-deck styling as the StellarCAT AL2503 platform but with an upgraded power option to satisfy the owner’s desire to get to offshore fishing grounds faster—and a reasonable amount of efficiency.

The twin Volvo IPS drives deliver a top speed of about 21 knots. Because the IPS system claims 35-percent more efficiency than traditional shafts, and catamarans are more efficient than monohulls, this super cat is designed to make better use of its 5,200 gallons of fuel capacity. A potential foiling solution could increase the boat’s top speed to 35 knots, though the company declined to specify any technical details.

Cool key features that have been disclosed include a mega-tuna tower—among the largest in terms of height-to-boat length ratio—and near water-level extended cockpits on each hull with fighting chairs. These pods are where the fishing action happens, and as such, have reinforced soles and opening hydraulic transom doors for when a catch needs to be boated.

One of the owner’s top mandates was stability in the ocean. The double-hulled catamaran design makes sense since it won’t heel like a monohull and is less prone to rock and roll at anchor. The wide beam also delivers exceptional interior space that is often a third larger than a monohull of the same length.

“His list also included fuel efficiency,” adds Holmes. That would help the 85-footer achieve a range of 2,400 miles nautical miles, so it can venture to fishing grounds as far from the U.S. mainland as Belize and Nova Scotia. The lightweight all-metal construction and flat surface planing hulls also add to the efficiency.”

“The owner has owned fiberglass boats before,” says Holmes, “but sees significant advantages with all-aluminum construction, mainly from a collision and fire-safety perspective, but also low maintenance, eco credentials, rigidity, shock absorption, and comfort under way.”

A longstanding desire among big-game fisherman to travel to fishing grounds 100-plus nautical miles offshore or deep into the Pacific has driven up the length and range of sportfishing vessels. Probably the most extreme example is Royal Huisman’s six-deck, 171-foot Project 406 , which is billed as the world’s largest sportfishing superyacht.

But it’s not more than size. The owners are tasking builders with levels of superyacht fit and finish that provides comfort after a day of fishing. The new Viking 90 is a good example of that.

SF2603 will be designed to meet Lloyd’s +100A1 SSC Yacht Mono G6 classification, with delivery scheduled for the summer of 2025.
