Arcadia 85 stunning first photos and ready for CYF16 world debut

Arcadia  Yachts  –  the  innovative  and  unique  “eco-friendly”  Italian  shipyard  –  has  the  pleasure  to announce the world debut of Arcadia 85S, the all-new “special” edition of the Arcadia 85 with sky-lounge, at the next Cannes Yachting Festival (6th to the 11st of September 2016).

After  the  delivery  to  its  American  Owner,  last  May  2016,  Arcadia  85  hull#1  will  be  ready  for  sea trials and international media visits in Cote d’Azur.

Arcadia 85S is designed to be a family yacht, which combines different exterior functions – actually over two decks, giving guests more possibility to spend time together. While interiors profit by the advanced aesthetic sensation of “open space” and closer contact with nature thanks to the full “floor-to-ceiling” windows.

The  layout  and  the  functional  living  concepts  of  Arcadia  85S  are  the  result  of  a  construction evolution: the linear design of the superstructure and the vertical line of the bow allow a better use of  every  single  available  internal/external  space.  Living  capacity  is  wider  than  other  yachts  of  the same  size.  The  uniqueness of  Arcadia’s project is finding  in the  design solution to integrate  solar panels into a yacht with navigation performance.

Arcadia  85S  hull  #1has  improved  her  soundproofing  capacity  index,  replacing  the  PVC,  for  the fore  part  of  the  hull, with  Balsa  core  sandwich  structure.  The  advanced  semi-planing  hull  which allows  efficient  performances  together  with  the  very  light  superstructure  in  aluminum  significantly reduces weight and fuel consumption and related running costs of its low-power engines .

The 25.90 metre (84.95ft) Arcadia 85S has a full load displacement of 67 tons. She is powered by twin  MAN  diesels  R6-730hp  each  (optional  engines  2xMAN  1000hp),  giving  her  the  maximum speed of 18 knots and she can comfortably cruise at the speed of 16 knots, as well as 12.0 knots. Her range is approx 850NM @12.0 knots.

INNOVATIVE FLY BRIDGE

Arcadia  85S  features  on  this  “special  edition”  a  new  sky-lounge  concept,  convertible  into  a sheltered third-deck, completely closed and protected by 360 degree openable   windows that can be raised up to meet the hard-top, exactly as it happens for the cars. Therefore the whole upper-deck area  becomes  much  more  flexible  and  usable  with  any  weather  condition,  being  air-conditioned  in  very  hot  climes  or  bad  weather,  or  left  open  and  aired  if  needed,  as  per  any traditional sky-lounge.  On the third deck are fitted the wheelhouse, a lounge with sofas and coffee tables, wet-bar and, externally in the aft, a sun-deck.

NPL HULL AND PERFORMANCE

Arcadia 85S has a semi-displacement hull, NPL type. This kind of hull is named after the National Physical  Laboratory  of  England  where  tests  were  conducted  to  determine  its  shape  for  the  best ratio  of  length  to  beam  in  terms  of  hydrodynamic  efficiency.  Studies  were  implemented  by Arcadia’s  technical  department  prior  to  adopting  the  NPL  as  Arcadia’s  hull,  resulting  in  excellent sea keeping qualities and noise reduction, for exceptional comfort.

This  advanced  hull,  together  with  the  light  Arcadia  superstructure,  allows  very  satisfactory performance with low-power engines. It significantly reduces fuel consumption and related running costs compared to other yachts of similar dimensions.

ADDITIONAL ENERGY FROM SOLAR PANELS

Solar  cells  of  latest  generation  are  integrated  between  external  and  internal  surface  of  double-glazing panels fitted on top of the largest part of the superstructure. The  36ksqm  of  solar  panels  -each  composed  of  hundreds  of  high  performance  solar  cells  -installed onboard the Arcadia 85S, an advanced and ecological system, supplies up to 3,5kw, are enough  to  guarantee  self  sufficiency  energy  for  many  equipments  and  electrical  systems,  like refrigerators,  water  circulation,  toilettes,  lights,  A/V,  electronics,  while  recharging  batteries.  Lets say, the power needed on board while at anchor, excluding the air conditioning system, is supplied “free of charge” all day long by the solar panels system and convertor rather than the generators. It results in a significant saving of diesel oil, less pollution and more comfort on board thanks to the substantial  reduction  of  noise,  vibration,  no  gas  emission  while  enjoying  your  time  close  to  the swim   platform.   Each   double-glazing   panel   contains   a   special   gas   named   Krypton,   which guarantees  a  high  thermo-isolating  coefficient,  up  to  18°  of  thermal  cooling  between  interior  and exterior temperatures, the equivalent of a 20 cm brick wall.

DESIGN AND LAYOUT

The  design  of  Arcadia  85S  reflects  simple  and  understated  styling  with  an  harmonious  blend between  the  indoor  and  outdoor  areas.  Her  deckhouse  has  been  made  almost  entirely  out  of double layered reflecting glass, giving the interior a bright and airy feel. The sliding over-head and lateral  blinds  can  provide  privacy  and  shade.  Arcadia  85S  impressive  aft-deck  lounge  (8,50mt  in length)  features  a  well  protected  cockpit,  perfect  for  dining,  as  well  as  large  sunbathing  area towards the stern of the yacht.

The Arcadia 85S hull#1 has four guest cabins at the lower deck, including the spectacular owner’s cabin adminship. The room is unusually large with a stunningly beautiful en suite head.

The  large  VIP  cabin  forward  is  fitted  with  double  bed  and  dressing.  And  there  are  also  two  more twin  cabins.  The  bow  of  the  yacht  offers  space  for  4  of  crew.  A  remarkable  space  has  been assigned to the crew and technical areas, including the tender garage where a 4 meter tender and2 seater Jet Ski can easily be stored.

Arcadia 85S main saloon is more intimate and provides space for up to 8 guests. However, the aft deck being well protected against the elements, gives a larger possibility to guest to spend most of the time there, instead of inside.

The  interior  of  the  yacht  features  modern  furniture  by  well  known  best  of  “made  in  Italy”  design brands,  such  as  Poltrone  Frau,  Cassina  and B&B.  Almost all  the interiors  are composed of  loose pieces  of  furniture,  thus  giving  the  option  of  modular  layouts.  In  this  version,  Arcadia  85  has  an open-spaced galley to the dining area.
