ASTONDOA 76 GLX: THE LUXURY OF SPACE
Amplitude can be the basic characteristics of the Astondoa 76 GLX. Not for its almost 24 meters length, but for the right usage of all the spaces, playing with the distribution, the inner perspective and the arrangement of the furniture. The combination of all these factors implies a remarkable qualitative leap, to the point that it is not exaggerated to say that it is one of the most successful yachts of this Santa Pola based shipyard. Non of the aspects has been left up to fate. The personalit
CATIA: THREE DIMENSIONS AND MORE
Yachts design is living a revolution that very few of those implied in this world, that is to say the end users, are aware of. It is called Catia and it comes from the world of the aeronautical construction, because it is a design software developed for the manufacturing of airplanes that later got adapted to the automobile industry, toys and daily use objects. Both the owners as those that, for their profession, use or work on boats have little perception of what is at stake at the technical
ZEN 70: SPORTS ELEGANCE
Zen Yachts is par t of the Gruppo Zen, a company dedicated to the merchant navy in the port of Gioia Tauro, in the south of Italy. For those of you that this name does not ring the bell, we will specify that Gioia Tauro is almost on the same latitude as the island of Lipari, nor th of Reggio di Calabria. This por t has a cer tain impor tance, because initially it was constructed to give service to blast furnaces, but the disrupt in the world of the iron and steel industry ruined this facility
PERINI 38 METERS SLOOP: FOCUS ON PERFORMANCE
The election of Philippe Briand as the architect of the sloop aimed for performance that we present here opens a new era in the history of Perini Navi. Until now, although it is sure that some units of the blue ships that Perini has in Viareggio had left influenced in their design by Ron Holland or Ed Dubois; their boats have always had the unmistakable mark of the house, with the shapes and the parameters created by the cabinet of Perini. On the other hand, this new model offers, its own
ENGINE ROOM: BEAUTY IN THE HEART OF THE BEST
The engine room is the single most important space of a super yacht as it contains all of the equipment essential to its running properly, as well as most of its technical installations. This combination of impor tance and necessity places a responsibility on the engineer that is at least as serious as that of his superior, the captain. His working day is filled with a series of routine checks, and he is ever aware that at the slightest sign of malfunction he has to react as best he can
PERINI NAVI: A SUCCESS STORY
We made our visit to Perini Navi’s Italian installations on the occasion of the launch of Tamsen, a 171-foot ketch, featuring a number of modifications to her superstructure and interior, with respect to the original layout, and the firm’s 40th vessel. In particular we had the opportunity to take a look at the Perini production centres in Viareggio and Spezia, this Italian firm having taken over the old Picchiotti and Beconcini shipyards. This allowed us to get a look at just how fast they have
CYRUS 33 ANGEL OF JOY: A ROMANTIC VERSION OF THE MODERN
When a ship builder with the expertise of Vitters, which is renowned for its magnificent and technically flawless units, initiates a pilot project to build ships in Turkey, a developing country where the naval industry has an excellent reputation as well as controlled costs, they are sure of their course and what they wish to offer. The first results of this daring venture were presented in the Cannes and Monaco Boat Shows and confirmed the highest expectations, since they offer a highly
SANLORENZO: FOUNDATIONAL MODEL
Sanlorenzo is one of the benchmarks for large yachts in the international arena, thanks to the respect and consideration shown to the yachting heritage that they have given to their models and also thanks to a craftsmanship made with great care, all being translated into an excellent result. The shipyard is about to celebrate its fifty anniversary, as Giovanni Iannetti founded it in Viareggio in 1.958, directly dedicated to the construction of leisure boats. At that time the material used was
ENGINEERING COUNTS
Whenever shipyards are presenting their latest models at this or that boat show, visitors rarely realise what lies behind each of the boats on display. In many cases the creative process will have begun in the most absolute secrecy, three or four years beforehand, and the design of exteriors and interiors will have been the subject to a multitude of proposals. Most important of all, however, is that a whole engineering firm will have to have okayed the project, analysed each aspect of the
ARCADIA: ON HUMAN SCALE
When an owner orders a motor boat, a displacement one for more details, to a shipyard such as Royal Huisman and to a designer like Tony Castro it is possible to expect that the results will be somehow special: not for being spectacular or able to break records, but by the level of exigency, technology and detail that the unit will offer, and that only a shipyard specialized in sailing yachts of the great sophistication can produce. The same rule of three can be applied to the designer Tony
