Azimut Yachts has always been one of the most technologically advanced shipyards and more so ever since their use of vacuum bagged construction systems and liberal use of carbon fibre. In more recent times much dedicated attention has been invested in renewing yachts’ shapes and adopting new solutions which translated in a better exploitation of volumes. Much of this is owed to Alberto Mancini whose experience in the automotive industry has been deployed in using composites in the building of yachts. The awesome looking superstructure boasting a beamy bow section is well integrated with the hull design while the second D2P generation developed by Pierluigi Ausonio and the Azimut- Benetti R&D department features lighter and smaller cut glass panels. Aft in the stern, this yacht hosts what ‘s been named…

There are loads of diverse boats, planing and displacing ones, catamarans and tri-marans, Swaths and hydrofoils. In spite of all these, the vessel we’re presenting this month is not part of any of the existing categories. This represents a practically insurmountable difficulty also for the inventors. Inspiration for the name chosen comes from an insect which skates along still water such as ponds which you may have already seen: the water strider (gerride in italian) and then GerrisBoats. Massimo Verme naval engineer who’s been collaborating with some of the most important Italian yachts shipyards for some time now said, “Gerris Boats is the project name for an innovative hull platform with moving elements and variable geometry”. at least that is how they’ve been defined as. Let’s try to understand more…

Aura is the name given to the new collection designed by Franco Driusso architect for Infinito Design. It wishes to highlight a number of diverse dishes, named Piano , Fondo and Consommé meaning flat, deep, while the third is exclusively designed to be used for broths whether served hot or lukewarm. New geometrical shapes have been elaborated accordingly also thanks to chefs’ input. Franco Driusso drew up a set of diverse shapes the borders of which are all white. The brims are set at an angle for greater visibility of the plates’ contents making the “ensemble” a real protagonist while seemingly offering dishes resting on bases lifted off from flat table tops resulting in an optical illusion. This procedure has been coined as being of “a complex simplicity” by award…

“Helga” is the chosen name for this new 26 metre launched by Van der Valk. It is the fifth unit from this fortunate series which Guido de Groot designed.The project design work was well interpreted to satisfy the requests put forward by a family made up of two owners and their respective adult children.“Helga” required some changes in layout to offer added room for greater conviviality.

Custom Line’s new chapter kicks off with this new model which has sealed the beginning of a new collaboration between Gruppo Ferretti’s shipyard and architect Filippo Salvetti who designed the exterior lines re-interpreting in a contemporary and romantic spirit the rounded lines typical of yachts belonging to times gone. Rotundity is also very visible throughout the interiors where the architecture and design studio Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel developed custom decor inspired by yachting tradition, to some extent but underscored with much navy blue in terms of colour. Ample use of block wood, leather and teak blended with customized fine upholstery increase the feeling of more available space thanks to daylight pouring in thanks to large window like ports and panelling. By night artificial lighting design takes the stage and projects…

The first in a series of deliveries this German shipyard will be making in the course of this Spring/ Summer season there’s “Vegas Baby” a 24 metre sloop rig yacht designed by Lorenzo Argento. “This project is a good example as to how a sound project design brief is materialised.We’ve had to bring about some minor changes in the hull’s shape in relationship to the original Y8 , but more so in the stern area by re-defining several spots - commented Lorenzo Argento - of the stern’s geometry and the helm controls.This way the cockpit is more protected thanks to the measures taken”.

“The basic concept behind the Nauta 54m Wide started with requests from clients who wanted plenty of room on board to accommodate a family, but not a yacht that was too big to moor in picturesque places like St Tropez or intimate bays in the Balearics,” said Mario Pedol, co-founder of Nauta Design in Milan. “So instead of focussing on length overall, we widened the beam to 11 metres and developed an innovative general arrangement”. Mario Pedol summed up this project for the Nauta 54m Wide built in steel and aluminium alloy which offers 860 GT of internal volumes in which we find as many as eight cabins with private bathrooms thanks to a peculiar yet attractive layout. This has been possible also by adopting a sophisticated hybrid system the…

Initialled by the shipyard’s in house design studio , with precious input from Francesco Paszkowski in terms of interior design and decor by Margherita Casprini, this 62 Steel “Cloud 9” is the umpteenth confirmation for Sanlorenzo that is continuing to be successful throughout its range of yachts whether in GRP, or metal used for the yard’s classic or explorer models which deservedly places the brand as number one overall.
