Project: Franchini 55 Emozione Open

The Emozione Open is Franchini Yachts new third version of there 55, now in its fifth year of production being presented in 2004. Franchini's 55 Emozione was the start or better the return of the Italian Adriatic based builder to power boating. This now is the Emozione range four boat line up, which started out as a hard top Traditional Yacht with down east lobster boat looks. In 2006 Franchini on the same 55 hull presented the Fly for flybridge, and now it goes to present this new Open version. The Open version is full of cross over style elements that it is difficult really to put in a category, of a Sport like its modern influenced topsides, or Traditional as its hull with its flared bow coming from the traditional lobster boat heritage. The 55 Emozione Open will also offer a different lower deck plan to the other versions, with two double cabins. Below you also get a fully equipped galley, lower saloon, and a crew cabin located mid ship. Power is from twin 800hp MAN engines which should be good for a 34 knots top speed. Construction will be with Scrimp resin infusion, Franchini embracing this technology as way back in the mid late nineties now.
