Homebuilders, no matter how busy they are, often construct model homes just to show the world what they can do when there’s no customer to constrain them. That’s the idea behind Burger Boat Company’s Advanced Construction Series (ACS), and the 106-foot raised-pilothouse motoryacht WOW is the program’s latest issue.

Like its predecessor, WIMIL, a 90-foot ACS yacht, WOW was sold before she ever hit the market. Part of the reason may be the two guiding principles cited by Burger president David Ross as I discussed the ACS program with him.

First, the basic design of the yacht, in Ross’s words, is “tried and true,” aimed squarely at the middle of the bell curve of yacht buyers interested in this size range. Something more exotic might be fun for the builder, but that’s not what most yachtsmen want for family cruising and charter, Burger’s prime market.

Second, Ross does not view an ACS yacht as a spec build. Rather than completing the yacht to the 70 percent or 80 percent point and waiting for a customer to come along to specify the details of the interior finish and equipment, Ross insists on delivering a complete yacht, outfitted to a level higher than most custom clients would specify on their own.

According to Ross, many customers balk at the cost of certain accoutrements and then wish later that they’d included them. By eliminating the “line item veto” that is a normal part of contract negotiations for custom yachts, the ACS program delivers an extremely high-end yacht that can still be sold at a competitive price by taking advantage of the builder’s standard procedures and materials.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that because of the success of Burger’s traditional business-full custom yachtbuilding-another ACS yacht will not be started until next year. That one, Ross says, will be in the 130- to 150-foot range. Clearly the center of the bell curve is moving upward in length worldwide, and Burger is no exception. While a few years ago Burger’s average boat was 100 feet or so, that figure is now 142 feet and climbing. WOW , it seems, will be one of a kind.

The yard currently has seven yachts under contract and/or under construction. Concurrent with all this yachtbuilding activity is a reconstruction of the yard itself. “All the old buildings are coming down,” says Ross, and not a moment too soon. Burger has been building vessels of various types and sizes on this site for most of its 100-plus years, so a renewal is due. But don’t fret over lost architectural treasures; there were none. In addition to the larger construction halls already in use, a new joinery shop and design-engineering building will be completed in 2006. There’s also a new 500-ton lift to handle the increasingly larger yachts in a manner less spectacular but far safer-for both yacht and personnel-than the yard’s traditional side launchings or the more recent use of cranes.

While Ross looked to Burger tradition for WOW ‘s profile and arrangement, Douglas Richey, Burger’s interior designer, found inspiration for the yacht’s woodwork in a single huge log of English brown oak. Veneers and solids from the log were used throughout the yacht, while burled sections were quartered and bookmatched for use as accents. The coffered overhead above the dining table and the bulkhead above the master berth are exceptional.

The selection of wood for the interior is a prime example of the ACS concept in action. Ross says that most yacht owners shy away from oak, fearing they’ll end up with a yellowish hue. Even on those rare occasions when oak is specified, it is often bleached or limed to assure a near-white finish. English brown oak, by contrast, has distinctly brown overtones that enabled Richey to achieve an old world look.

The theme is highlighted by dark mocha wenge for specific areas of decking, and bronze is used for several prominent accent pieces. A bronze vessel sink is used in the day head, which has metallic tile overhead and a bronze glass mosaic countertop.

The pilothouse, while featuring the latest in “glass bridge” electronic technology, has a definite gentleman’s club feel to it, with lots of oak and antiqued chocolate brown leather. Matching leather is used on both the STIDD helm chair and the spacious settee that surrounds a triangular emperador marble table.

Abaft the pilothouse is the aforementioned dining room with its impressive coffered overhead. The space opens to the saloon, which features sofas in cream chenille to complement and soften the look of the darker joinery. A highlight of the saloon is a pair of matching curved corner windows that extend full height, with motorized draperies that travel on curved traverse tracks to provide privacy when desired. A hinged glass door in the center of the aft bulkhead is flanked by large windows, also full height, and on the aft deck is a 54-inch-round granite table with bronze Klismos dining chairs.

Believing that many owners prefer to carry fewer guests but in greater comfort, Ross built WOW with just three staterooms, all below deck. The master suite spans the full beam immediately abaft the crew quarters. There is a tremendous amount of storage space in the cabinetry outboard of the berth and in the two spacious walk-in hanging lockers. His and hers heads forward of the berth share a large shower on centerline. The dining room’s beams and coffering are echoed in the lighting panels above the head of the berth as well as in the oak beams that span the room from port to starboard.

The two guest staterooms are nearly identical in arrangement, differing only in dÈcor and in berthing. The starboard stateroom has fore-and-aft twins, while the port is fitted with an athwartship queen berth. Both have hanging lockers forward and en suite heads with showers aft. The lower foyer features a recessed niche for objets d’art, a nice touch I first admired several years ago on another Burger, Argyle, where it housed a statuette of what had to be the world’s most aesthetically challenged bagpiper-and bagpipers are not generally an attractive lot to begin with.

Topside, WOW has a centerline helm on the flying bridge, with companion settees both port and starboard. A dinette is aft to port, with a large bar and four stools to starboard, all partially shaded by an extended radar arch. Tender stowage and a davit lie aft.

It is interesting to me that WOW , while clearly more modern in profile, hull form and equipment, is still evocative of the yachts built under the tutelage of Henry Burger years ago. These yachts are as popular and as in demand as ever, for the simple reason that good design and sound construction are qualities that, “tried and true,” never go out of style. David Ross was adamant about building WOW his way and there is no reason to believe that will change with Burger’s next ACS yacht. I also expect that the next one, whatever its length, will again sell before it’s ever offered for sale.

The clean, contemporary and classic lines of Burger’s new ACS yachts are driving more orders than the yard has ever enjoyed, with contracts extending out to 2009. The new ACS, or Advanced Construction Series, is Burger’s first foray into semi-production motor yachts. After decades of building true custom yachts, Burger believed they had a pinnacle design with the ACS series and moved forward with production, building both hulls on spec. There is always and inherent risk when designing and building speculative projects, but when Burger designs and builds two boats that have both sold before reaching the market, that’s a remarkable accomplishment. Just weeks before the 2004 Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show, hull 499C, Burger’s second Advanced Construction Series (ACS) project, sold to the first Burger owner who saw her. This very same statement held true with the first ACS project, hull 494C-“WIMIL”, which was completed in 2002. Repeat customers are a hallmark at Burger, who enjoy life-long relationship’s with their customers.

WOW is clearly a thoroughbred, upholding subliminal design attributes that are unmistakably… Burger. A clean, modern superstructure tops a graceful, high freeboard, semi-displacement hull. In addition, large contemporary windows that compliment the lines of the boat are a Burger signature. If the ACS series looks familiar, it should. It is the evolution of a timeless and aesthetic appeal. But beyond the appearance of the ACS series are the elements of function. For instance, complete walk-around main decks, a fully covered aft deck, an abundant flybridge and unobstructed access to each. If one word could capture the essence of the new ACS series, that word would be… clean.

The clean-theme is carried to the highest level… the flybridge. Here exists a study in space utilization. The full-service bar runs longitudinally along the starboard side of the deck with a crescent-shaped settee opposite, leaving an unobstructed path between. Both counters are a jumble of beige granite that accent WOW’s teak decks and matching upholstery. The settee table features fiber optic under-lighting, providing illumination for moving about, without the interrogation of overhead lighting. In addition to the bar, a commercial grade gas grill is supplied for flybridge cook outs, as well as cold storage, sinks and a preparation area. For guests and lazy stowaways alike, Four (4) Crown bar-stools with back and foot rests compliment the bar.

Forward of the entertainment area is the flybridge helm with passenger pavilions flanking each side. Should the captain need a better line of sight when docking, controls are integrated to the port and starboard side of the helm, just forward of the passenger’s seats. The helm itself, is reduced replica of the wheelhouse below, but incorporates electronics and controls that are resistant to the elements. The raised-helm, perfect for standing or seated operation, is angled at 45 degrees and encompassed by a brow, which recesses the instruments for reduced glare.

Directly above the entertainment area is a multi-tiered radar arch. The balance and symmetry of this platform is indicative of Burger’s ACS series… clean. The spotlight is located in the highest point possible, thus extending its beam to the furthest point possible. Furuno radar completes the equilibrium of navigation hardware. Moving to the rear, the non-slip surface of the aft deck is home to a 17’ raised bench, center console Novurania with a four-stroke Yamaha outboard. Deployment and retrieval is by the strong arm of a Nautical Structures Davit.

The aft deck consists of traditional teak soles that give rise to a 54’ round granite settee, supported by a cylindrical stainless support and surrounded by bronze Klismos dining chairs. The granite chosen for the table closely emulates the colors carried throughout the boat. To keep an accent on heritage with due consideration for the future, the only varnished wood to garnish the exterior of the boat is the handrail… much to the accolades of the crew.

The pilothouse appears as if it were carved out of a giant block of English brown oak. It houses a complete suite of displays with the latest generation of navigation electronics. A Stidd helm chair in brown leather provides the central command post. Just aft, a sizeable settee in antiqued leather surrounds a marble table, where passengers can participate in navigation duties… or not. Continuing the flavor of the ancient theme carried throughout WOW, an antique rail adorns the staircase leading to the bridge.

The protocol for WOW’s interior was to creatively unify an ancient ambiance with contemporary notions. By using historic backdrops and rusticated finishes, coupled with modern features, an “old-world” look with a novel charm was brought to life by Douglas Richey, who heads up Burger’s in-house design team. Among the multitude of decisions in building WOW was the wood chosen to meet the challenge. An unusual wood species was identified, one that had rarely been used on a yacht before; a quartered English brown oak… all cut from the same tree. This would become the basis from which Burger’s craftsmen would begin an arduous journey of carving, fitting and joining together a medley of accenting materials. In the main salon looking aft, there are full-length, curved glass windows with motorized traversed sheer draperies that operate along a curved track. The sofas are covered in crème chenille, accompanied by symmetrical chairs in patterned velvet. The coffee table is framed in bronze with a glass top and the game table and end table have custom reverse diamond inlays, a deliberate match to the pattern in the floors and the doors. With radiussed end panels and speakers built discretely into the toe kick, the entertainment center is the focal point, made of burled English brown oak.

The burled theme is carried into the adjoining room with the dining table and the elaborately paneled, coffered ceiling accented with a suspended grid of fiber optic lighting, a bronze finish and carved moldings.

The galley is a showcase unto itself. If you haven't said WOW yet... this would be a good time! Featuring a grand cooking station on the forward bulkhead with an open amalgamation of materials, including bronze ceramic tile, white bronze inlays, intricately carved woodwork and stainless counters. All of the cabinetry surrounding the oven is simple and clean with stainless fronts and hardware.

The curved center island has diagonal stainless inlays mimicking the same pattern that is tastefully implemented throughout the yacht’s floors and doors. Notice the placement of the sink, looking directly out the port windows. WOW!

WOW’s balance of materials is most evident in the day-head, with a ceiling of metallic mosaic tiles, a bronze vessel sink set into an inverted triangular vanity cabinet and a bronze glass mosaic counter top.

The staircase leading from the main deck to the lower deck is graced by antique rails and illuminated step-lights. While one might scoff at the use of carpet on high traffic areas, such as staircases, it is a much better way to assure safe footing and it is easily replaced. Because storage is a valuable commodity onboard a boat, every nook and cranny must be considered for the same. In this case, the well underneath the stairs houses a locker.

As you arrive on the lower deck foyer, you are greeted by accents of patterned dark mocha wenge’ flooring used to create a contrasting effect. The foyer is rich in detail including a triangular shaped burl wood sculpture niche, lit from within and an upholstered chenille background panel.

The master suite is accessed via the main stairway/foyer and features spectacular double arched doors. It is bright and elegant using pale gold and cream colors. The entire headboard wall is a study in sketch-face burl wood patterns within a stile & rail grid work of quartered English brown oak. Hidden in the beam ceiling is a drop panel housing a 36” flat screen TV.

Simple and clean were the protocols set forth for the master head, until you glance over at the shower! The master baths (his & hers) combine antiqued “torn” wall covering and rustic tumbled marble to further the ancient expression.

Burger’s craftsmanship is showcased with the patterns and textured tiles that are used to create the entire shower, from floor to ceiling. It features faucet handles that are coco-brown onyx with bronze fixtures.

The twin room has upholstered berths with a copper colored velvet panel behind the bed and a copper metallic fabric on the adjacent walls.

The guest bath features wall covering that ties in the copper and taupe colors carried throughout the yacht.
