New Model: Azimut 70

In the yearly event of the Azimut Benetti Group, the Yachting Gala which for this year was held in Viareggio, the world renowned yacht builder presented the new Azimut 70 of the new F series generation. Following the latest trends as started with the 43 in 2004, designer Righini and Turin yacht builder follow there renowned form following function design with minimal accents, presenting an ultra modern yacht. There is so far little details available but the pictures show the trademark huge Azimut integrated windows all over the yacht, with what we imagine a similar finished interior as used on the 58 launched during the 2007 Genoa boat show. New 70 has also a similar four cabin interior to the Azimut 68 Plus / Evolution it will go on and replace in the future, but with a more modern layout and some huge improvements of which is the separate galley which can open up on the saloon thanks to an electrically operated window, and all double cabins with in line berths. A striking feature for the new 70 is also the hull color, which for its debut carried an original metallic sky blue, a not seen before finish, following the trend with the green shown on the 58 during the Genoa 2008 presentation.
