TIA 2017 62' 10" VIKING Sport Fisherman

M/Y TIA is a fine example of the 62 Enclosed Bridge, a showpiece in the Viking tradition with a fusion of leading edge engineering. To optimise its strength to weight ratio, the composite cored hull is resin infused with a high modulus of Dupont’s Kevlar, carbon fibre and knitted fibreglass laminates selected to reduce weight while increasing the overall physical properties of the structure. Similarly, interior stateroom and hanging locker doors, as well as cabinet fronts throughout the yacht incorporate honeycomb coring for further weight reduction.

The 62 Enclosed Bridge also has recessed engine cooling water pickups, refined propeller pocket entry to enhance flow to the five-bladed wheels for reduced noise with better traction, and modified architecture to the struts and rudders adding to an efficient and slippery running surface delivering speeds in excess of 40 knots with a pair of MAN V12 1550 CRM.

Abundantly detailed, the profile of the 62 Convertible makes a powerful statement. The unbroken sheer sweeps gracefully bow to stern. Nearly eight feet of freeboard at the bow along with the gentle crown on the flush foredeck is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and increases the headroom in the forward stateroom. A newly designed engine room vent fascia with longitudinal fins give the boat the illusion of speed even at rest, while keeping the machinery space dry and supplying a rush of combustion air.

M/Y TIA represents the newest ground breaking champion of the Viking 62 Convertible in the history of the world’s largest manufacturer of convertible sportfishing yachts.
