Galeon produces boats from 4.75 to 25 metres in length in Poland. The small boats trade under the name "Galia", the large ones under "Galeon". Apart from electronics, engines and a few small items, the shipyard produces and designs its own boats. Traditional handicraft is used as well as computer-controlled CNC machines. The plastic work is carried out using both traditional hand lay-up and modern infusion methods.
Although Galeon produces in series, it works closely with the future owner. The shipyard can therefore be described as a "manufactory with industrial production".
Thanks to creative and innovative thinking, the company is not afraid to break new ground in terms of design and function. One result is the Galeon 640 Fly, which stands up to any comparison and has nothing to hide from renowned shipyards. The design reflects the spirit of the times and conveys Elegance and sportiness.
Below deck, the 640 Fly offers three separate cabins with their own entrances. The one in the foredeck could be reserved for the owner and the two amidships for the guests. While the bow cabin and the aft guest cabin each have their own bathroom, passengers in the centre cabin share a day bathroom with guests on board.
Last but not least, there is a fourth cabin in the stern for additional persons or crew instead of a tender garage, with access from the bathing platform.
The fully glazed lounge is divided into two sections, forward with a large dinette plus driving position and aft with a galley and starboard bar counter. The foredeck can either be used as a large lounger or converted into a seating area in a few simple steps, otherwise the Fly is not short of seating and lounging options either. The outside area is available in two versions, either like the test boat or with an extended cockpit and longer fly, in which case it is referred to as the "Extended" version.
The highlight, however, are the bulwarks on both sides of the boat, which can be folded down and then fitted with bar stools and a railing. If the windows of the galley and bar counter are then open on both sides, the saloon and cockpit become one. fine party lounge on the water.
Depending on the requirements, two diesel engines with 900 to 1200 hp work below deck, delivering their power to the water via shaft systems. We sail with two Volvo Penta D13-1000which, thanks to 2000 hp, accelerate the 640 Fly up to a maximum of 30 knots. The shipyard recommends a speed of 20 knots for cruising. After analysing the measurement data, it should be 2 knots more for the test boat.
One tank of petrol is enough at this speed theoretically for a distance of 213 nm plus 15 % reserve. At full throttle it is 40 nm less and at displacement speed it is possible to cover just over 1000 nm at 6 knots, plus reserves. The rough Baltic Sea off Gdansk presents No major requirements to the hull, which comfortably rides over everything. A successful boat that is likely to give its competitors a headache, especially as the workmanship is just right.
