New Model: Tecnomar 36 Velvet

The first model of the Velvet 36 line was launched last May 10th. Four years after the official debut of the Velvet 35, the yacht that confirmed Tecnomar's leading position in the "open yacht" sector, the Viareggio-based shipyard is back with a new generation of "maxi" open yachts. Besides more overall length, the Velvet 36 line also introduces a number of new design features created by architect and designer Luca Dini. Starting from the hull, among the differences compared to the previous model we find a new windowing scheme. The typical flush portholes with stainless steel framing have been replaced with the more sporty and modern looking rectangular embedded portholes that can be easily opened to give even more light and air to all the cabins. The second saloon/dining area presents triple side windows to offer a breathtaking panorama view from both sides of the boat, giving all guests on board an unprecedented view of the sea and the feeling of being on a raised platform just above sea level. For safety reasons, the panoramic side windows cannot be opened and are made of armored, bullet-proof and break-resistant glass. As for the hull, the side rubbing strips have been replaced by more resistant "embedded" moldings running along the entire side of the boat that subtly integrates an air suction grille in the aft area to provide ventilation in the engine room. As we ascend to the deck, we find more changes in the superstructure. The first and most significant of these features is the new front glass windshield. The glass surface is now twice as wide, giving the boat an even more sophisticated look and also filling the interiors with a "cathedral style" light. Even the side windows in the superstructure have been broadened. Though the boat has not changed much of its external appearance, in the inside, the paneling has been further reduced to make the most out of the glass surfaces. The deckhouse has been restyled and like the Velvet 100 models, instead of the usual sundeck, it now features a complete "Combo" living area, where guests can talk, have lunch or just relax under the sun. The Living zone in the main deck has been further broadened reducing the need of creating extra open-air spaces in the saloon. This is why the new Velvet 36 was conceived with an additional "sun bridge", a rather isolated private area on the hard top, in the place of the full-open roof characterizing the previous model. However, for those who are nostalgic for the traditional Tecnomar "open" boats, it is possible to install the roof instead of the sun bridge. Interiors are, as usual, left to the purchaser's discretion, who will decide upon subdivision layout and furniture, as in Tecnomar's tradition.
