Azimut Launches the Fly 62

• By Yachting Staff
• August 20, 2024

Azimut Yachts in Italy has launched the Fly 62, the eighth model in its range of Fly yachts that spans from 50 to 83 feet long.

The Fly 62—which has a length overall of 63 feet, 8 inches—is scheduled to make its public debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival, which is set for September 10-15 in France.

Azimut says this model’s key feature is a beach cockpit with a transom that opens outward, lowering a sofa and creating a sunbathing area so close to the water “that is unique for a yacht in this segment.”

Additional guest seating is in what’s considered the traditional cockpit space, with shade from the upper deck’s overhang. The upper deck also has guest relaxation areas that are in the sun and shade, in addition to yet another outdoor zone far forward on the main deck that is completely open.

Exterior design is by Alberto Mancini, with the superstructure volume increasing toward the bow. This choice allowed the beach cockpit area to be developed while maintaining overall sporty styling. Mancini also designed the new hardtop, with an eye toward what Azimut calls “hyper-modern lines” that complement the horizontal hull windows.

Interiors on the Azimut Fly 62 are by architect Fabio Fantolino, marking his second project with the shipyard. Fantolino’s goal was to create open spaces that are free of visual obstacles. Renderings from the builder show a combination of white and light neutral tones in the standard décor, with substantial glazing on the main deck that allows for broad views of the outdoors.

Power on this yacht is a pair of 900-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS1200s. Azimut says the maximum speed will be 32 knots, giving the Fly 62 plenty of oomph to cover ambitious itineraries.

Draft is 3 feet, 5 inches, which is low enough to allow for skinny-water cruising.

Azimut is expanding its offerings in Spain: The shipyard also just announced the opening of two Grande Boutiques in Spain, one in Palma de Mallorca and the other in Madrid. As part of this expansion, the locations will offer personal service to owners of Azimut’s Grande Series, which includes models from 85 to 144 feet long. “The Azimut Grande collection is experiencing a wave of great fortune in Spain,” according to the builder. “The recent delivery of a Grande trideck in the Balearics and of a Grande 27m in collaboration with Marina Estrella are testaments to this success.”

Diving Into New York’s Murky Green Waters, Searching for Treasure

It’s hard to see through the water, and too easy to find trash, but divers are finding joy in exploring New York.

Supported by

By Arielle Domb

Photographs and Video by Michael Turek

• Published Aug. 17, 2024 Updated Aug. 18, 2024

Adam Riback has spent a lifetime thinking about what lies beneath the surface.

Growing up in Sea Gate, a small community on the western tip of Coney Island, Mr. Riback, 53, said he would spend hours gazing out at Gravesend Bay, thinking: “What’s underneath it? What’s down there?”

It wasn’t until decades later, when he happened upon a dive shop in Brooklyn, that he would find out.

Most New Yorkers probably don’t know it, but by some estimates there are about 5,000 shipwrecks scattered around the state’s shores, possibly one of the highest concentrations of wrecks in the world, according to one expert.

Since 1971, the New York City-based scuba diving club Big Apple Divers has been plunging into the coastal waters, uncovering shipwrecks and an array of aquatic creatures — sharks, whales, sea horses, ocean sunfish — hidden from plain sight.

Mr. Riback, now the executive director of the New York State Marine Education Association, joined Big Apple Divers in 2011 and later served as the group’s vice president. “Most people aren’t even aware that they could dive in the larger region, let alone close to Manhattan,” he said. “There’s a whole ecosystem in our backyard.”

Today, however, longtime Big Apple Divers members fear that the local diving scene is dwindling. Older divers fret that they are being aged out and that a world of submerged history is being forgotten.

“The most common misperception is just that there’s nothing to see,” said Harris Moore, 34, who runs an introductory diving course for the club.

In what is known by divers as “ Wreck Valley ,” a triangle of water between the Jersey Shore and Long Island, divers can explore hundreds of shipwrecks, like the U.S.S. San Diego , near Fire Island. It was sunk by a German mine in 1918, the only major U.S. warship lost during World War I, according to the Naval History and Heritage Command.

Shipwrecks provide new habitats and hiding spaces for small fish, away from predators. In time, clusters of corals, anemones and barnacles blossom. Giant lobsters, bluefish, blackfish and striped bass waft among the crevices of sunken vessels.

“If you’re into the marine life, it’s like an underwater scavenger hunt,” Mr. Moore said. “You never know what you’ll find.”

In the past 50 years, storms have become increasingly frequent and ferocious , threatening to rip apart ships and the objects they contain. Within years, some may be destroyed entirely.

The dive chair of Big Apple Divers, Tracy Cloherty, said she had found buttons, bits of china and personal items from passenger bags during local shipwreck dives.

“We’re preserving this little bit of history,” Ms. Cloherty, 58, said. “I don’t know if anyone remembers these people or not, and people only exist as long as they remain in somebody’s memory.”

But diving is not for the fainthearted. The waters around New York are regarded as more “hard-core” than somewhere like the Caribbean because of poor visibility, freezing temperatures and strong currents. Over the years, some divers have died during or shortly after explorations of wrecks. One wreck, the Andrea Doria , off the coast of Nantucket, Mass., is nicknamed the “Mount Everest of Wreck Diving” because navigating it is so difficult — and often deadly .

Those who are up for the challenge of local wreck diving describe submerging into muddy darkness — a foreboding green netherworld, sometimes so murky that they can’t see their fingers extended in front of them.

“They’re terrible days, where you just start feeling the dive site more than seeing it,” Mr. Moore said.

Jozef Koppelman, 66, who went to his first Big Apple Divers meeting when he was a teenager, said local divers have a sort of “selective amnesia”: One gleaming “postcard day” in New York’s waters overwrites nine where nothing could be seen at all.

“Part of the allure is the idea that it’s not consistent,” he said. “There’s a leap of faith with every trip.”

But Mr. Koppelman feared that things were changing. Many of his peers have retired from diving. Boats to dive sites have become less frequent.

Operating a dive boat or shop in New York may not be lucrative, given the limited clientele, the short dive seasons because of the weather and a shift toward buying equipment online.

Mr. Koppelman joked, “If you want to know what it feels like to own a boat, stand in a cold shower and rip up $100 bills.”

In recent years, however, a new generation of divers have been working to make New York’s underwater spaces cleaner and more accessible.

The Billion Oyster Project , a nonprofit group, works with over 100 New York City schools to restore the city’s oyster population.

These tiny creatures offer a range of environmental benefits, from filtering water to fostering biodiversity to softening the blow of waves during storms, standing as a buffer against flooding.

“We’re so disconnected from the harbor even though we’re New Yorkers and we live on this series of islands,” said Zoë Greenberg, 47, the project’s assistant dive safety officer. She trains students how to dive and build oyster nurseries in every borough, from Soundview Park in the Bronx to Lemon Creek Park on Staten Island.

She said one of the best parts of her job is pushing back on the idea that New York water is dirty and uninhabitable. “The water is now cleaner than it’s ever been,” Ms. Greenberg said. “It is safe to swim in most areas, most days of the year.”

Nicole Zelek, 32, is the founder of SuperDive, which provides diving instruction. She hosts regular underwater cleanups in Far Rockaway, near Kennedy International Airport in Queens. Divers spot horseshoe crabs, sea robins and vibrant coral colonies. “It’s magical that so much is going on beneath the surface,” she said.

But city beaches are also peppered with pollutants. Fishing lines trap crabs and other crustaceans. A shopping cart, an A.T.M. and a row of bus seats have even been found in the waters, Ms. Zelek said.

“You see the impact of humans living next to the sea in a way that maybe you wouldn’t see in the Caribbean and a protected park,” she said. “It is a good place to remember our connection to the rest of the world.”

For Dr. Michael Rothschild, 62, a pediatric otolaryngologist and Big Apple Divers’ medical adviser, part of the magic of diving in New York is its equalizing effect. “There’s really no different calculations for nitrogen loading for people who are Democrats or Republicans,” he joked.

Underwater, where language is reduced to a handful of gestures, social and political barriers dissipate. “Most human beings have very similar wants and needs,” he said, “When you’re diving, everybody’s producing CO₂. Everybody’s using oxygen. Everybody needs to breathe.”

WHAT WE SAY

OUR AWARD-WINNING OCEAN-GOING SAILBOAT

Conceived to bring significant improvements to the already successful  Oyster 61  and  62  ocean-going sailboats , the triple award-winning Oyster 625 is a sub 20m sailing yacht designed for easy family and friends sailing.

Building on what were already proven Oyster yachts, Humphreys Yacht Design devised an improved hull form to provide this ocean-going sailboat with increased performance and handling. Other enhancements included a sportier rig, increased space in the master cabin, and the choice of several interior arrangements, including the option for a forepeak layout to accommodate a full-time crew member if required.

The 625 offers spacious interiors for a sailing yacht below 20m, with generously proportioned galley, a full-beam owner’s suite, two en-suite cabins forward and a fourth cabin that could be configured as a workshop, a guest cabin, or a children’s cabin, with access from the master. During build, the option was given for direct aft-deck access from the master cabin via a sliding companionway.

In this design, particular emphasis was placed on outdoor living, with safe navigation and easy sailing facilitated by a large cockpit, flat aft deck and forward sundeck. Her design showcases a cleaner, more modern bulwark profile, with wide side decks and integral fittings for easy movement from bow to stern. The smoother, flush lines of her foredeck provide more deck space than the  Oyster 62  ocean-going sailboat.

Below decks, the 625’s saloon houses what are now the Oyster’s signature triple ‘Seascape’ windows, with three vertical portlights set into the port and starboard sides of her hull, providing a new perspective of her cruising grounds and breathtaking views out over the water – a real  superyacht  feature.

With an overall length of just under 19.4m (63.5ft), the Oyster 625 has a displacement-length ratio of 182 and a sail-area displacement ratio of 22.3 making her a true ocean-going sailboat that delivers outstanding performance and comfortable cruising in the 20m sailing yacht class.
