New Model: Absolute 70

The much waited flagship of Absolute yachts the new 70, was finally unveiled during the Cannes Show. This was much an awaited debut from the competition, press and passionate people alike, due to some important technical and design innovations. The new 70 makes the talk with never seen ideas for a 21 metre Sport Yacht: extended hard top with the aft part opening up electrically to uncover the aft deck if you are a sun worshipper, forward sunpads for three persons all adjustable electrically, interior saloon and galley being among the most spacious of the category and all cabins featuring big full view windows. The innovation on the technical side comes from the quadruple IPS 600 engine installation the second boat offering this type of propulsion, and the digital integrated control by wire system. Sleeping accommodation offers a 3 double cabin interior all featuring fully private en-suite heads, with full beam owners cabin being very spacious for the size of boat. Crew cabin is a double accommodation, featuring a crew lobby, also unusual for a Sport Yacht of 21 metre. Credit has to be given to Absolute, who with the new flagship continues the philosophy shown with the smaller models creating a flagship full of innovative features. PowerYacht thanks Absolute UK dealer Ocean Nautic for his assistance in this exclusive preview.
