Delta 60 Open: The Future of Powerboat Performance

The maritime realm has always been a bastion of innovation and design excellence. From majestic liners of the past to the sleek, speed-loving vessels of today, there’s always something new on the horizon. Enter the Delta 60 Open.

Derived from the highly esteemed Delta 54, the Delta 60 Open is the apex of modern-day yachting finesse. Its lineage alone speaks of top-tier craftsmanship. But, the 60 Open is not content to simply rest on the laurels of its predecessor.

Carbon Fiber Excellence

One look at the 60 Open and you know you’re in the presence of something special. Its all-carbon fiber construction isn’t just for aesthetics, although it certainly lends a sleekness to the yacht. It promises efficiency. The light yet strong material ensures smooth sailings across even the most turbulent of waters, ensuring that guests are cradled in comfort no matter the seascape.

Performance Meets Luxury

Equipped with a powerful 2 x Volvo Penta IPS 800 engine, boasting a robust 1,200 horsepower, the Delta 60 Open promises an exhilarating experience. The impressive range of 450 nm at 30 knots means vast oceans can be crossed with ease, providing endless opportunities for both offshore adventures and dockside soirées.

Yet, power is nothing without control. The integrated Volvo Penta joystick control & DPS ensure that even in the tightest of harbors or trickiest of conditions, the 60 Open remains easy to handle, almost like a tender boat.

Space: The Ultimate Luxury

For those who think a yacht is just about speed, the 60 Open is ready to pleasantly surprise. With seating accommodating up to 20 guests, social gatherings become the norm rather than the exception. Below deck, the yacht offers sumptuous accommodations for six, featuring a lavish owner’s stateroom replete with an en-suite bathroom and two guest cabins amidship.

Features Galore

No luxury yacht is complete without the trimmings, and the Delta 60 Open doesn’t skimp. Whether you’re inclined towards the Garmin Glass Cockpit with dual 22″ MFDs or swayed by the hydraulic tender launch and swim platform, there’s something for every discerning mariner. The cockpit wet bar galley, complete with an ice maker and BBQ, promises delightful hours under the sun, while the Webasto 55,000 BTU air-conditioning ensures things remain cool when the party heats up.

The future is carbon fiber; the future is powerful engines paired with innovative controls; the future is a blend of performance and luxury. In the world of yachting, the future is the Delta 60 Open.

Specifications at a Glance:

• Length Overall (LOA) : 18.22 m (60.2 ft)
• Hull Length : 16.60 m (54.5 ft)
• Beam : 4.60 m (15.1 ft)
• Draft : 1.40 m (4.6 ft)
• Displacement : Dry – 12,800 kg, Wet – 14,000 kg, Max – 20,000 kg
• Fuel Capacity : 2,900 liters
• Fresh Water : 700 liters
• Cruise Speed : 25-30 knots, Top Speed : 38 knots

The Delta 60 Open sets a new benchmark. It’s not just about reaching a destination; it’s about enjoying every nautical mile along the way. Join the future. Embrace the Delta 60 Open experience.

'Most Metal’ Rocket Famous for Setting Itself on Fire Will Make Its Final Launch

ULA’s Delta IV Heavy in 2018 prior to the launch of NASA’s Parker Solar Probe.

As the band Europe once sang , it’s the final countdown, at least for United Launch Alliance’s Delta IV Heavy, which is set to retire following its final flight on Thursday, March 28. The classified mission also marks the end of an era that began more than 60 years ago, with ULA bidding farewell to the Delta series.

The triple core rocket is slated to launch at 1:40 p.m. ET on Thursday, blasting off from Space Launch Complex-37 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. The weather forecast isn’t great, with ULA predicting a 30% chance of favorable conditions. Should bad weather force a scrub, ground teams will try again 24 hours later. The Delta IV Heavy is carrying a classified payload for the National Reconnaissance Office, likely a spy satellite, as part of the NROL-70 mission.

In its press materials, ULA described the Delta IV Heavy as the “most metal” of rockets. The reason for this has to do with the dramatic, and even startling, way in which the rocket blasts off. Seconds before its engines roar to life, a fireball engulfs the base of the rocket, causing a fire that chars the booster exterior.

This has to do with excess hydrogen burn-off. Prior to ignition, hydrogen fuel creeps out from the engines and up the side of the booster (it’s like starting a gas cooktop or a propane barbecue—some gas has to escape before you click the ignition button). When the engines are ignited, this excess hydrogen catches fire, causing the brief—but intense—fireball. This phenomenon is actually a normal and expected part of the launch process. A 2018 video (below) describes the process in more detail.

This is the last flight for the 235-foot-tall (72-meter) Delta IV Heavy, which debuted in 2002. It’s also the end of the road for the Delta program. The NROL-70 mission marks the 16th launch of Delta IV Heavy and the 389th for the Delta family, according to AmericaSpace. Established by the U.S. government in 1960, the Delta program was set up to develop a suite of expendable launch vehicles for space missions, ranging from satellite deployments to deep space explorations. ULA’s new Vulcan Centaur rocket, which debuted in January, is designed to replace the Deltas.

The two-stage Delta IV Heavy consists of three booster cores, each powered by a RS-68A engine. Each of these engines produce 705,000 pounds of force at liftoff, making it one of the most powerful liquid hydrogen/liquid oxygen engines in the world. For its second stage, the Delta IV Heavy uses a single RL10C-2-1 engine (also fueled by liquid hydrogen and oxygen), capable of generating 24,750 pounds of thrust. A 16-foot-tall (5-meter) payload fairing completes the assembly.

The Delta IV Heavy’s first launch on December 21, 2004, was a partial failure (the dummy payload didn’t reach the targeted orbit), but it remains the only blemish in an otherwise perfect career. Its first successful operational mission was in 2007, sending an NRO reconnaissance satellite into space. Notable missions include launching NASA’s Orion spacecraft for the EFT-1 mission in 2014 (Orion is now a key fixture of the space agency’s Artemis program) and the Parker Solar Probe in 2018.

Related article: What to know about ULA’s new Vulcan Centaur rocket

At the time of its debut, the Delta IV Heavy was the most powerful rocket launched from Cape Canaveral, save for the Saturn V and the Space Shuttle Launch System, according to Florida Today. Currently, only NASA’s Space Launch System and SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy are more powerful (Starship doesn’t count, as it’s not yet ready for prime time). Its replacement, the 202-foot-tall (61.6-meter) Vulcan Centaur rocket, offers greater flexibility and can be configured with zero, two, four, or six solid rocket boosters to meet specific mission requirements.

So it’s out with the old and in with the new. The Delta IV Heavy has done its bit for king and country, but now it’s time for an update—and an overdue one at that. Vulcan represents ULA’s first new rocket design since the company began in 2006 (ULA, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Boeing, inherited Delta from its predecessors). Sure, we’ll miss those frightening fireballs at launch, but the future awaits.
