UNDER THE HOOD
The Volvo Penta D6 diesel is adapted from the manufacturer's truck engine, which is known for solid power, strong torque and high reliability. An in-line six-cylinder, 5.5-liter, 336-cubic-inch block puts out 480 hp using common-rail fuel injection, dual overhead camshafts and a turbocharger.

DESIGNER TONY CASTRO PENNED THE
Galeon Yachts 440 Fly, a yacht that looks long, lean and fast, even at rest. And beyond the vessel's sleek profile is a nicely appointed two- or three-stateroom, two-head layout with multiple entertainment and lounging areas - far more creature comforts than you'd expect to find aboard a boat with such a slender appearance. Castro achieved this sleight of hand in two ways: First, he covered the topside windows with a black slash that runs nearly the length of the yacht to bring light into the staterooms. The slash also lowers the visual height of the topsides considerably.
