Project: Azimut 53 Fly

Azimut announced the 53, a sixteen meter motor yacht which will be the second smallest offer in its popular top selling Flybridge Collection.  The 53 Fly was presented during Azimut's annual press conference at what is usually the start of the fall boat show season.  The Azimut 53 Flybridge sees Alberto Mancini enter into the smaller sizes of Azimut range, after designing the 78 Flybridge, S8, and Grande S10.  For the Azimut 53 the Italian designer will follow somewhat similar lines to that of the 78 model, in a racy sporty profile which the builder says hide the real volumes of this sixteen meter flybridge motor yacht.  Azimut has in the past presented racy looking flybridge motor yachts from the popular 98/100 Leonardo, to the 62/64 models. The details of the 53 are still mostly under wraps, but thanks to the series of videos which launched with part one on November 27 we do know that it will have an astern galley layout.  Power and propulsion details are still unknown, though considering that the 78 is with IPS pod drives I would not be surprised to see the switch in this model and then a revamp in all the flybridge series up to the 78.

New Launch: Rossinavi 48.80m FR041

Italian shipyard Rossinavi is proud to announce the delivery of FR041 titled m/y EIV, a full-custom 48.80m superyacht previously called as Project Vector commissioned by a U.S. client introduced by superyacht broker Dean Anthony of Allied Marine's Superyacht Division. Previously known as Project Vector 50, FR041 is a fusion of Rossinavi’s expertise, Italian interior and exterior design by Venice-based studio Team for Design of Enrico Gobbi plus technological and mechanical components from the United States. Key components and mechanical features as well as the electrical system are made in the USA and US-standard, since the vessel will be based in US and Caribbean waters. The attention to US standards is also applied to its ergonomic function and elegant interiors, a response to the clients desire and the growing interest in Rossinavi from the American market. A sport design project with the ergonomic space of a full-displacement yacht, FR041 incorporates technical advancements including a shallow draft of just over two meters and perfect stability that allows it to easily cruise in the Bahamas and South Florida waters. The unique elements that make this Rossinavi 48 meter one of a kind are its neat lines and balanced proportions that naturally connect to the elements bearing stylish details. Inspired by elements of the automotive industry such as the air vent grills of a sport coupé, FR041 boasts a well-proportioned and slender silhouette enriched by continuous glass surfaces. Despite its sleek volume, FR041 embodies an impressively spacious interior layout that can accommodate up to an owner’s party of eight in four generous double cabins, situated on the lower deck and each one with en-suite facilities. The full beam master suite is located at the front of the main deck and includes an intimate private terrace on the starboard side. EIV’s design ensures an ongoing dialogue between exterior and interior thanks to its floor-to-ceiling glass windows along the main deck. Portions of the glass slide open for a flood of natural light and for better enjoying the surroundings. The interior design is a thoughtful mix of contemporary and modern: bright and natural nuances of wood and fabrics cleverly combined with prestigious coating materials, such as onyx and leathers, and sophisticated details in bronzed brass metal. Custom carpentry details by Enrico Gobbi are combined with contemporary European furniture, decorative lighting art pieces and exclusive Italian-made fabrics; the impression is of a relaxed, welcoming, elegant interior with plenty of light. Most of the furniture has been personally designed by Enrico Gobbi and upholstered with high end fabrics of leading international brands such as Hermès, Rubelli and Armani Casa. Class and energy, style and dynamism have been perfectly combined in this grand project that is ground-breaking.
