Styled in
the timeless ‘Downeast' tradition, the brand new Back Cove 34 is due to arrive
in Australia early 2012.
An exciting
evolution of the popular Back Cove 33 it replaces, the Back Cove 34 has an
elegant spoon bow, broad transom and classic lines. The flared bow and
performance hull make for a stable, ocean-capable vessel, while the high-tech
construction methods of infusion hull and deck ensure the boat is strong,
lightweight, quiet and – with its single diesel engine configuration – very
economical.
The Back
Cove 34 was launched in the US in August this year and already two boats have
been sold 'sight unseen' into Australia and New Zealand – indicative of the
brand's reputation, which precedes every new model.
Emarine
Australia's Jed Elderkin said whenever Back Cove created a new model it was
always the "perfect next step".
"Back Cove
has a very loyal customer base all over the world and the company takes care to
communicate with owners, always applying a large amount of constructive
feedback to the next generation of boats," Mr Elderkin said.
"This
means the boats evolve with genuine improvements in detail - often in little
things like head height, how easy it is to get into and out of bed, elbow-room
in the shower and so on... and you know you'll still get the same incredible
performance and master-craftsman's quality for which Back Cove is renown."
Below deck
the new Back Cove 34 has a large island-berth and a convertible L-settee, along
with a large head with separate shower stall. Beautifully-finished timber
throughout creates a warm and homely feel to offer a comfortable
home-away-from-home for leisurely weekends away.
The full
galley, including two drawer refrigerators located under the helm seats, is
situated on the helm deck and stretches out aft of the helm position. A dining
area with inlaid, solid wood table is opposite the galley where four adults can
sit to enjoy a meal, drinks or card game.
The helm
deck is airy and bright and features Back Cove's iconic upright windows that
provide impressive all-round visibility. Overhead hatches, opening side windows
and a centre-opening windshield create excellent ventilation. The whole helm
deck area lifts hydraulically for easy engine access.
The aft
cockpit has a large, comfortable lounge area with an L-shaped bench seat and aft-facing
foldaway seat, perfect whether underway or at anchor. This area is ideal for a
barbeque and has a walk-through to the aft boarding/swimming platform.
Standard
power is a 380hp Cummins QSB 5.9 diesel shaftdrive, which delivers incredible
range at cruising speeds and a top speed of 25kt. Other engine options (up to
480hp) are available.
