Sealine T60 Aura Yacht by Studio Conran

London's Conran design studio, founded by famed tastemaker Sir Terence Conran, has designed a new yacht for British boatmaker Sealine, the T60 Aura. The 60-ft. flybridge motoryacht features Conran's signature clean, modern interior decor. Natural oaks, light finishes, long clean lines and floating, linear forms were used in the open plan design, which gives the illusion of extra light and space. The end result is described as "a tranquil, elegant environment that is highly functional and practical." Details include a teak laid cockpit, an L-shaped leather sofa and hand crafted coffee table in the saloon, and a striking full-width master stateroom with bespoke Japanese Maple wall features and an en-suite bath. Fitted out with twin Caterpillar Diesel C15 engines at 865 hp apiece for a total of 1730 hp, it can do 33 knots.

Sealine Yachts Trims Their Sails In Hard Times

English yacht company, Sealine, is the latest to be hit by hard times. It is closing down two of its three sites and is set to lose 297 jobs (it employs around 630 people). The firm, which is based in Kidderminster, Worcestershire, is entering into a 90-day consultation process with its staff to reduce redundancies among its office and production workers. Sealine has been in business since 1972 and manufactures around 300 boats a year ranging from 25 to 60 feet. All their boats are constructed entirely in house. A spokesperson for the company has said that the current economic conditions are the reason for the downsizing.
