Omikron Yachts, the new face of the renowned Olympic Marine shipyard, reports significant progress in the development of the OT60 series. Hulls #3, #4 and #5 are progressing on schedule, embodying the debut of the first model in an eager market. The success of the project is due to a blend of experience and in-house talent, supported by state-of-the-art facilities and high-tech methods.
Hull #3, a Club variant with a full-beam forward cabin divided into two double berths, is nearing completion. Deck bonding and interior installation are in their final stages. The focus now shifts to finishing the interior, including the ceiling, with delivery to the Monaco-based owner scheduled for early 2024.
The journey of Hull #4, designed for three cabins, is well underway. Its hull, painted in a subtle gray chosen by the Greek owner, has moved to the assembly building for interior integration. Advanced electrical and plumbing systems are being installed, demonstrating the yard’s commitment to modern standards of comfort at sea.
At the same time, construction of Hull #5 has begun with the lamination process, a fundamental step that sets the stage for the next steps. Each phase of construction combines traditional attention to detail with modern technology.
The OT60, an eco-cruiser inspired by the island-hopping lifestyle of the eastern Mediterranean, prioritizes space and comfort at a leisurely pace. With efficient engines and a custom hull design by Juan-K optimized for cruising at 10-12 knots, the OT60 achieves a range of 1000 nautical miles at 12 knots, consuming just 1.5 liters per nautical mile. Rooted in the waters surrounding Olympic Marine, the OT60 harmonizes with its natural habitat.
Nikolas Dendrinos, Chairman of Olympic Marine, expressed his pride in the team’s dedication, stating, “The meticulous work on Hulls #3, #4 and #5 demonstrates our commitment to quality, innovation and responsiveness to our customers’ needs. The variety of configurations reflects the flexibility of our offerings and the diverse preferences of our owners.
Between 1969 and the late 90s, the Olympic Yachts shipyard produced more than 2,000 sailboats. Since 2019, the shipyard has undergone a comprehensive renovation, revitalizing its ability to design and build contemporary, high-quality boats.
