VIKING 82 CONVERTIBLE

Our new flagship is coming your way.

When the Viking 82 Convertible premieres at the 2009 Yacht and Brokerage Show in Miami, Florida, it will raise the bar to exhila- rating new heights of engineering excellence. With its sleek pro- le, dramatic window lines and lush, black mask, the breathtaking 82 Convertible will be the nest looking Viking ever produced. The 82 Convertible will easily rival the accommodations of a luxu-rious boat motor yacht but the engineroom, the ying bridge and the cockpit, will reveal the heart and soul of a tournament contender. Viking has proven beyond any doubt that a large convertible can compete on the tournament circuit successfully, especially when designed by a company with the talent and skills of our engineer- ing, design and production teams. Our groups constantly challenge the work we do with a philosophy that encourages our commit- ment to try harder, to create then recreate, to keep at a project until we are satis ed we have reached the peak and then reach for a little more. It requires a lot of effort to do things this way, but it is the Viking tradition and we are proud of it.So understandably we are most proud of the 82 Convertible for it showcases a boat building heritage spanning more than four de- cades.

The mezzanine provides engineroom access as well and depending upon the interior you select, the entrance doubles as a private route to the crew quarters.The 82 will be offered with open bridge and enclosed bridge ar-rangements. The open bridge features a marine center console station with three Murray Products helm seats with teak ladder backs as stan- dard equipment providing excellent sightlines for cruising and sh-ing. There is room to install three 17-inch monitors behind clear acrylic panels inside the console, with additional compartments for communication equipment. More stowage space is available beneath the helm. Forward of the helm is built-in refrigeration and a U-shaped settee and table. Air conditioning also will be available on the open bridge.Viking’s track record for building enclosed bridge convertibles is unmatched and the 82 Enclosed Bridge Convertible will follow suite. The climate-controlled command station is a perfect comple- ment to the deck house and beautiful sheer with matching window lines for a seamless appearance.
