DESIGN NAME: Intermarine 48 Offshore
PRIMARY FUNCTION: High Speed Boat
INSPIRATION: All the influences came from the universe in which our customers live. The design was inspired by the dynamic lines of super sport cars that can be seen on the air intakes and on the helm station, for example. The universe of luxury products and architecture is also present on the teak flooring applied throughout the deck, on the upholstery and on the feeling of being at a unique atmosphere.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The shipyard gave us the challenge to create a design that epitomizes what a high speed boat should be. The competition has a standard look only differing on the exterior graphics. Our design has the powerful look inherent to this kind of boat and is also luxurious and carefully finished, just like any other Intermarine's yachts.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The external area has swiming plataform, solarium, cabinet (barbecue grill, cooktop, sink, refrigerator 80L), folding table and 5 places plus 1 pilot. The internal area has a cabin (2 berths), bathroom, 7 sofa places (option A) or 4 sofa places and galley (option B).
There are two engines options, the A has 2x MAN R6800 with the maximum speed of 56Kn and cruise speed of 46Kn, the option B has 2x Volvo Penta D11725 with the maximum speed of 53Kn and cruise speed of 45Kn.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in February 2013 and ended in August 2013. It was pre released at the São Paulo Boat Show in October 2013. The release will be in São Paulo Boat Show in October 2014.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The lamination of the vessel is through infusion method. Compared to the traditional manual method, it reduces the quantity of resin and consequently the weight of the boat. It provides higher efficiency, using less fuel, reducing the environmental impact, besides providing better work environment, since it keeps workers away from toxic gases.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 2465 mm x 14470 mm x 3130 mm

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Sport boats are part of Intermarine's history, that gave the brand a myth status in the Brazilian nautical market. We started at understanding the characteristics that made these boats so special to be used on the next phases. The sketch phase allowed adding innovative elements such as the suspended back solarium and the teak, besides the development of the visual language as a whole. The mathematical model was built so we could define, besides the form, the dimensions that are very important to ergonomic comfort for users, as the path's dimensions, driving position, headroom, etc.
CHALLENGE: Sellers and old costumers was consulted about the project. They suggested to be offered a second internal layout: the fist one had a bedroom, bathroom and a social place with sofa and a kitchen, after the suggestion, we decided to offer a second layout without kitchen, to users that do not have habit to cook on the boat, and with an extended social area with two sofas.
