New Model: Gamma 20

Gamma Yachts launches its first 20 model, and presented it officially in the fall of the season boat shows. Designed by Vripack and also built using this company registered Smart Construction trademark method, the Gamma 20 aims to look out of the crop for a builder in this size in Italy as its boat are constructed of steel. The Vripack Smart Construction is also a promise in that it reduces steel builds by half the time. Could this be the invention which increases steel builders in Italy. None the less looking a bit like the Magellano from Azimut on the main deck, but competing in a segment usually dominated by Dutch builders the Gamma 20 is an interesting proposal. It's semi custom interior is classic in style and can be fitted out in a three or four cabins layouts and a crew room. Owners room is located aft for best comfort, minimum noise, and less rolling. The main deck is a flush deck Italian style affair with a welcoming saloon upon entrance, dining area, separate galley, and private helm station. Power numbers are also interesting with a standard 650hp Yanmar giving 16 knots max, 12 knots cruise and at this speed which consumes only 52 litres per hour giving a 1270 nautical miles range.
