Cannes based shipyard Chantier Naval Couach in collaboration with a French artist Jean Pierre Fantini are hardly working on the creation of Couach 5000 Fly yacht. Couach flagship’s 5000 FLY 2 first models under construction are already well advanced. The new boat’s advanced Kevlar-carbon facilitates the yacht to reach a top speed of 30 knots, while having the characteristics to act like a displacement yacht at low speeds, it feature new generation engines 2 x MTU 20 V 4000 / 5 300 HP. Couach 5000 can provide a cruising speed of 12 knots over a transatlantic range of 4000 nautical miles.The 5000 FLY will be both capable of crossing the Atlantic in 10 days and reaching unequalled speeds for a yacht of its size. Couach 5000 Fly is a semi planned vessel. For the first time, a 50 meter yacht reunites the recognized advantages of composite construction – lightness, agility, speed, strength – and those of aluminum flagships – spacious, stability, sea comfort.
Currently two units of the first 5000 fly are under construction, with the no.1 hull expected to be launched in March 2011.
