PRINCESS V65 LOA: 66' 10" Beam: 16’ 9” Draft: 4' 9" Fuel Capacity: 1,083 gal. Water Capacity: 230 gal. Displacement: 67,000 lbs. Power: Twin MAN V12 @ 1,400 each FRESHLY LAUNCHED The new V65 from Princess features an Olesinski-designed deep-V hull that is optimized for greater lift and less drag, which produces lower planing speeds and greater efficiency. Her twin MAN diesels provide a total of 2,800hp pushing the V65 up to 38 knots. Built to entertain, her spacious cockpit offers a sunpad and well-equipped dining area that leads to the fully-equipped aft galley. The sizable sunroof and sliding aft doors provide for the helm and salon spaces to be flooded with natural light. Below deck are the four luxurious cabins all bathed in sunlight from the beautifully integrated hull- side windows. A REVOLUTION HAS BEGUN The entire Princess team is clearly excited about this revolutionary new direction for Princess design and technology. Although Pininfarina led the design of the R35, Princess Yachts’ long-standing partners in design and naval architecture, Olesinski, was also involved. Their team is now working to implement aspects of the R35’s design language into the next generation of larger Princess Yachts. "The new R35 shows how far Princess is willing to go to be on the leading edge of technology in yachting," Bluewater's Chuck Meyers said. "This boat is truly a work of art and stops people in their tracks." Meyers is also stunned by the amount of detail that went in to every component on the boat, from the helm to the cabin and galley below. A radical new design, but distinctively a Princess in every way. Princess Yachts' R35 is not just a fun side project or pilot program, but rather the beginning of this esteemed yacht builder's next evolution in design and engineering. With the skills acquired by their team in new composite technologies, and the new equipment in place for production, Princess is poised to integrate these innovations and techniques into future new models. This, combined with tomorrow’s efficient high-horsepower engines will provide the same, if not greater speed and performance over today’s propulsion packages. Without question, Princess Yachts is launching a revolution in luxury yacht design, construction and performance. This obsession over weight savings paid off. The half load displacement for the Princess R35 comes in at just 14,000 lbs. PRINCESS R35 LOA: 35' 9" Beam: 10’ 8” Draft: 2' 6" Fuel Capacity: 158 gal. Water Capacity: 37 gal. Holding Tanks: 21 gal.
