Description

Focus Motor Yachts is a world-class boat manufacturer renowned for their Elan Power line of yachts. The Elan fleet was eventually discontinued when the Focus yard refused to choose quantity over quality. They needed something new. Something fresh. The overwhelmingly positive customer feedback on their previous endeavour led the Amsterdam-based to the conclusion that they ought to build a similar, though improved range of yachts; thus, the Focus Forza and Power line was born. Pounding waves as a missionThe all new Focus Forza 37 is breathtakingly, targeting the family-oriented customer who desires a yacht capable of effortlessly cruising any and all waters. A vessel capable of thriving near the coastline as well as fully off-shore. It has been a long time since I last found a motor yacht of this quality! This is the type of ship I could and would take out on rough seas, slamming her hull into waves three metres high while maintaining full speed. Thanks to her panoramic windscreen I’m protected against the elements. Where other boats would suffer from serious hull damage and cracks, due to the outstanding build quality of the Forza 37 you’d probably be the one who could no longer take the horrid abuse. Having been completely astounded by the quality of the hull, I went to the shipyard in Amsterdam to find out how their yachts are produced. Stood in front of a brand-new Forza 37 I instantly understood how this eleven and a half metre long ship turned and cut through the waves like a seven metre speedboat. Looking at the bow of the Focus, one can clearly see a deep, sharp ‘V’ with spray rails, ensuring both grip at all angles and lift at lower speeds. While most other shipbuilders have let go of the so-called ‘Deep Vee’ at the aft of the ship, Focus decided not to for a very good reason: a deeper aft means a stiffer hull and a smoother sail. Luckily, I was also able to view the deck separated from the hull in their production hall. The hull is comprised of two shells; the first consisting of a full fibreglass core, with a layer of top coat on the inner side of the hull and a layer of high-quality gelcoat of the perfect thickness. The solid glass core is already highly notable in itself, providing a level of rigidity unachievable with a foam or (even worse) balsa core many manufactures use nowadays to cut production costs. Though what really makes the hull special, is the presence of the second shell; an inner mould directly laminated to the outer hull. These two shells combined form the basis of the super rigid yacht you are wishing for. Having now seen the build process, I can confidently say I’d choose the Focus Forza over a Pardo or Axopar. The revolutionary design is just stunning! Performance With the twin 270 hp diesel engines at maximum rotational speed, my speed topped out at 36 knots. I found that she performed best at 30.4 kts, as fuel consumption is very low relative to the average speed. The Forza 37 will reach planing speed in approximately 4 seconds and she’ll hold plane down to 10.6 knots. Handling She’s a fun boat to operate. She’s well-powered, overpowered even, which is beneficial for both fuel consumption and durability. Her handling is very direct, having sharp turning angles characteristic of smaller, stern-driven boats. Her sharp, modified V-hull really hooks into the water, making it possible to turn without sliding at all, as if she were attached to rails. I was able to perform a 180-degree turn at 28 knots in just six seconds and with a turn radius of about two boat lengths, which is a super tight turn by any boating standards. No other manufacturer even comes close in this respect. She feels like a fast ship. That’s probably because she is. When you get her up on plane – a solid plane, not just at minimum planing speed – start trimming the engines to push the bow back down and she'll pick up speed easily.  Engines The beating heart, or rather hearts, of this vessel are the twin engines rated at either 270, 320, 370 or 600 horsepower a piece, with all options having the boat feel powerful, each latter one obviously even more so than the former. The engine bay also houses a powerful 4 kW generator and an optional gyro stabilizer. The engine room is either accessed from a hatch on the starboard side of the aft sunbed, or alternatively, with the touch of button, after which the deck lifts on an electrically actuated strut exposing the whole engine compartment and providing unlimited access. Well done Focus, bravo. Notable Features Full fibreglass hull and superstructure; Inner hull fully laminated; Mercury Dual TDI 3.0-270s, Volvo Penta D4-320 or D6-400 Joystick manoeuvring Submersible swim platform – capacity 600 kg; Large protecting tinted safety glass Custom built interior. Swim platform The first thing you’re going to notice when you come on board this ship, hell, you’ll probably notice it before coming on board, is the immense, solid teak swim/stern platform. The  combined integral/add-on platform can be hydraulically raised and lowered. The projected length abaft the transom is huge for a ship of this size, improving safety as well as liveability. Moreover, this makes the platform ideal for storing any tender or jet ski.  Cockpit Walking at level from the stern platform leads you into the large, open cockpit. You’ll immediately notice two major features: the first being an almost abnormal level of attention to detail and finish I like to call ‘The Focus Touch.’ The second thing is the strong spatial effect, mostly due to the unrestricted fore-and-aft movement and the wraparound hardtop screen, providing unrestricted vision anywhere in the cockpit. Directly aft is an extended sunbed both spacious and comfortable, an indispensable feature on any open sports cruiser. Take a couple more steps forward and you’ll be standing in front of a well-built wet bar which is nearly invisible in closed position. Lift the high-gloss kerrock counter to
