Transalatic Rage, less consumption (15l/hour all engines)
Song Saigon, named after the Vietnamese river, is a unique multihull reinforced aluminium motor yacht with a LOA of 24.05m (loadline length 22.58m). The yacht's builder is Saigon Shipyard Co. Ltd. from Vietnam, who delivered Song Saigon in 2008. This beautiful motor catamaran has a beam of 7.98m, a draft of 2.0m and a volume of 65 GT. The exterior design and naval architecture was done by Joubert -Nivelt Design with interior design by Attitude Design. Up to 9 guests are accommodated onboard the long range cruiser Song Saigon, and she also has accommodation for 2 crew members including the captain. The yacht has 2 aluminum hulls and an aluminum superstructure. She is powered by 2 Caterpillar C7 engines with 250hp each and low hours (about 2000), which give her a cruising speed of 8.0 knots and a top speed of 11.5 knots while keeping the consumption extremely low. This allows for a range of 5000+ nautical miles at a speed of 8.5 knots. The yacht carries 12.500 liters of fuel on board, and 6.000 liters of water and now includes a new watermaker. There are also 2 caterpillar generators with 24.3kW each and the main engines also have a large alternator each so gensets are not necessary when cruising.
The clever asymmetrical design offers a swim platform aft of the port side hull making it very easy to access the boat from the water at all times.
As soon as one boards the yacht one notices high quality teak decks throughout. The interior is also made with high quality wood floors and furnishings. The master stateroom is located on the main deck and offers a full beam and rear views through the many weatherproof windows. The salon includes an open plan galley, a dining table and the bridge. The area that divides the salon and the master stateroom can be kept open on both sides with sliding doors (or closed and air conditioned) and can be turned into a perfect lounge area in the shade or be used for entertaining guests with a cocktail party as it has also direct access to the flybridge and can also be closed off on a windy day. Both areas have a new Bose sound system. The flybridge area is very spacious given the beam of the boat, has a bar with stools, a dining area, sunbeds and features a crane and 2 cradles for a dinghy (included) and a jetski (not included)
Song Saigon was built according to class certification standards by Bureau Veritas. This certification can be renewed any time if needed for commercial purposes while all systems on board have been upgraded after an extensive refit.
