Project: Absolute 52 Navetta

After the very positive input on the first Absolute Navetta the 58, it is not surprising to see the Italian builder follow it with a slightly smaller model a year later. The Absolute 52 Navetta continues where the 58 left us, albeit a slightly smaller size, and follows in five feet less with a similar concept inside, outside, and on the technical side.  The accommodation plan will feature three double cabins, full beam owners room at midships, VIP forward, twin berth cabin to starboard, and a guest head to port side.  To aft is a crew cabin with private head.  The main deck will feature an astern galley, while two steps up to port side of the helm station is a C-shaped multi purpose dinette. Power for the soon to launch Absolute 52 Navetta will come from twin Volvo 435hp with IPS 600 pod drives.

Baglietto New Web Site

Baglietto from Italy presents its new World wide web showroom. A legendary name of the boating and yachting World community, Baglietto founded 1854 in Varazze, by Pietro to which his surname gives the name to the brand. Pietro started as a builder of fishing boats in a small yard one hundred meters from the sea in Varazze, later on this was translated to speed boats in the early part to the middle of the nineteen hundreds, and special military boats of all genres. The early part of the twentieth century is one of various new records; in speed by Baglietto I in 1923, in height with a hydroplane in 1927, and in size with La Spina a 12 meter cruiser build 1929. In this period a lot of military boats are also build as well, from 16 and 21 meter class torpedo boats, to hydroplanes, and also hydrofoil prototypes. Baglietto also creates the MAS in its 15, 16, and 21 meters versions in the 1920s, still recognized today as superb design ingenuity. Baglietto in this period also gets commissions from places as Japan, and China to build there military boats. Baglietto will build military boats of various sizes and type for just less to ninety years, a career which apart various Italian orders includes others from Finland, Indonesia, Algeria, and United Arab Emirates. After World War II Baglietto starts the production of the wooden yacht series, with Elba, Ischia and Capri models. In the seventies and eighties Baglietto looks at aluminium to build boats, and launches the first in this material with the Nauta at 26.5 meters in 1976. In the nineties Baglietto expands its size and builds various super yachts over thirty meters and a couple of forty meters plus. Important names are the Al Fahedi in 1985 a 46 m steel build which will be the flagship up till 2006, and the Opus in 1994 a 28 meter open sport yacht which is to be the largest of its type for a couple of years. Baglietto was purchased by the Gavio Group in 2011 after a decade plus of ownership from Camuzzi. Currently Baglietto builds yachts on order with a line which starts with the timeless classic MV 13 up to the 62M Motor Yacht, with a portfolio which stands of eight super yachts currently in build. Baglietto new website is available in Italian and English language and takes you around with the following buttons; About Us, Yachts, Shipyard, Baglietto World, Contacts and Site Map. Baglietto has also its social hubs; Facebook, Instagram, and Youtube accessible at the bottom of the page.

Project: Mulder 2800 Flybridge RPH

Mulder introduces a new concept: the 2800 Raised Pilot House full beam. This 28 meter, round-bilge, all-aluminium pocket size yacht is easy to operate, suitable for both families and chartering, and possible to sail with a limited crew and low running costs. RPH stands for “Raised Pilot House”, which means that the wheelhouse is raised to a higher position on the vessel, giving the captain a better overview and allowing other valuable options regarding layout and usability in the interior. In this design “full beam” means that the saloon area has side decks, while the master suite forward on the main deck does take up the whole width of the yacht. This makes for spectacular views right out of the bedroom and a hugely enhanced feeling of privacy guaranteed by never having to worry about seeing crew members walking in-front of the windows. Another wonderful feature is the aft deck dining. The dining table is placed outdoors, under a sun-deck roof so that it would be out of direct sunlight, and we designed drop-down windows to port and starboard while completely concealing the main entrance doors. This resulted in a flush open deck floor plan of over ten meters in length. No steps or glass doors in-between means that the view is spectacular. The yacht is designed to accommodate ten guests and a crew of three, with the possibility for alternatives. The round-bilge, all-aluminium 2800 RPH offers an economical cruising speed of twelve knots and the option of achieving 15-16 knots or even more if required. Using aluminium instead of steel for the hull allowed fuel savings of up to 20% at low speeds compared to displacement speeds. Van Oossanen Naval Architects is responsible for the naval architecture of the Mulder 2800 RPH, Frank Laupman from Omega Architects designed the interior and exterior.
