New Model: Cantiere Delle Marche 105 Acciaio

Cantiere delle Marche is proud to announce the successful launching of the Acciaio 105, christened M/Y Gatto on the 17th of May 2018. Her delivery is planned for later in the summer. Responsible for the exterior design as well as naval architecture is Hydro Tec who has given Acciaio 105 a bold yet contemporary exterior accompanied with traditional fresh interior style by Francesco Guida Design.  With this model Cantiere delle Marche proves, once more, its flexibility and knowledge of the market. Acciaio 105 is also a testimony to the excellent cooperation between all parts involved in her construction. Ultimately, CdM's team, excellent craftsmen included, proved the yard's capacity to meet an exacting brief on time.  Having experienced the behavior of the Darwin 107 Storm into a real storm wind blowing at 40 knots and more than 3-metre swells the owner was attracted by the benefits of a robust and reliable explorer hull, yet asked both yard and designers for softer and more contemporary lines. Thanks to her strong yet gentle lines, Acciaio 105 crosses indeed the ineffable border between sturdiness and robustness.  Acciaio 105's design combines beautiful lines with a contemporary flair. Private exterior decks create the perfect retreat for the guests while generous interior spaces host both social and private areas for ten guests pampered by a crew of six. The interiors designed by Francesco Guida are the result of a true collaboration among the designer, the owner and the yard as they negotiated around structural constraints to achieve the best possible result. By boldly mixing dark and bright colours and cleverly contrasting materials, Guida breathed life into M/Y Gatto's interiors.  With a transatlantic range of 4500 nm at the economic speed of 10 knots, top speed is 13 knots, which is particularly outstanding given that it is achieved with just two Caterpillar engines 670hp each relatively small engines for a yacht of her size and displacement.  Thanks to her well-engineered steel hull with bulbous bow, Acciaio 105 will ensure a smooth path through water, and will be the perfect home away from home in all sea conditions. Acciaio 105's Owner, who is extremely pleased with the outcome, is looking forward to enjoying his yacht on her maiden voyage.
