“Proiettarsi verso nuove esperienze è un'esigenza

dell’uomo per alimentare i suoi sogni.

Navigare è un’espressione di questa natura umana.

Non si può prescindere da questa consapevolezza

nel realizzare imbarcazioni, applicando ricerca ed

esperienza, ma guidati dalla passione.

Perchè se questo è lo spirito che permea il lavoro

di chi progetta e costruisce, troveremo un design

volto all’armonia estetica ed all’esigenza pratica,

avremo l’impiego dei materiali più innovativi ed

apprezzeremo il lavoro di professionisti e maestranze

eseguito con il cuore.”

ALONG THE ROUTEFOR INNOVATION This is a route mapped out by our designer, Alessandro Vismara. Vismara work starts in 1984 designing with Luca Taddei 3/4 Ton winner “Lace Wing”. Follows in 1985 with Perini Navi and fortifies in 1990 with Baltic Yachts, for which it is still the reference point when it comes to conceptualisation and assistance in the Mediterranean. From the early international successes of vessels by Vismara Yacht Design,to the prestige of designs, fittings and renovations and refits by Marine Services,the company has never stopped growing in terms of quality service and the rationalisation of boat building activities. A company with the ability to interpret ideas and point choices in the direction of coherence, a principle that has always been a feature of Vismara Style.

Research and Development

CONCEALED MANEUVERSHalyards and sheets hasten ducted in the thickness of the sandwich deck leave the boat clean and in order

PORTHOLE RECESSEDVismara’s special patent allows the use of «ocean line» crystal portholes located at the same teak level and without any coamings for a flush deck result.

CONCEALED HALYARDSA special mast base inside the deck sandwich allows to pass halyards and reef lines completely hidden inside the deck and the mast.

INTEGRATED VIDEOSJust like in the Cars world the modern control systems and navigation are all managed through a ‘touch screen’ embedded in the wheelhouse.

MAIN SAIL FURLING BOOMBy the end of the 90th there were developed many Automated management systems for sails with particular attention to the furling system of the mainsail inside the boom.

17

CARBON WHEELVismara standard trade mark V- shaped spokes super light carbon wheel.

WING MAST + BOOM FURLINGThe best combination of efficiency and ease of use, the perfect integration between functional elements and aesthetics.

ROTATING WING MASTAerodynamics and light weight with reduced heeling force,finally also on mono hulls.

LIGHT SWITCHES Flush and stylish, touch batten to control lights and functions: perfectly suited for Vismara styled interiors.

SPOKE-FREE STEERING WHEELEsthetics and functionality for a steering wheel free of any obstruction to allow risk-free access.

18

CANTING BALLAST TWIN FOILAn efficient system of canting keel with a single forward canard allows sailing without heeling within certain limits to wind or makes it possible to increase the performance.

BOW ANCHOR ARM A simple and lightweight system that places the anchor under deck without taking space on deck and in the locker.

CANTING KEELAlready in 1996, in collaboration with the Gamnes Calderon, Vismara was trying out the ‘canting ballast twin foil’ which became the standard for maxi racers in 2000.

19

RESEARCH FOR NEW MATERIALS Special resin treatment, handmade, to give a marble effect. Vismara shipyard is known for its design and advanced hull construction, using light and new materials to always maximise performance. That’s why this treatment was chosen, not only for its aesthetic result but also for its lightness and strength during navigation. In this way an interior ‘masterpiece’ also becomes a structural part of the bulkhead.

ANCHORING SYSTEMThis unique system was inspired by an old anchoring system used on commercial ships. Vismara developed this idea in a way that can also fit smaller yachts. This integrated system is a part of the hull, designed in the same shape and opening directly from the bow area and down, just as the retractable bow thrusters system known in the market. It is also functioning as a crush box, separated from the bow cabin and dedicated to sails storage, bow thruster and anchoring. A small window is located 30cm above the water line and used for eye contact with chain or working zone in case of need.

TELESCOPIC KEELThe exclusive Vismara telescopic system reduces draft without interfering with the interiors, thanks to a sophisticated movement system fixed in the hull. With this system, the owner can have max keel performance and high righting moment without any compromises on safety for navigating in shallow waters.

VISMARA HYDRAULIC MAIN SAIL MAGIC TRIMWith this system it is possible to reduce 2 winches as the main sheet rope is attached on deck to a fixed point in front of the steering wheels and the other one to the hydraulic system. In this way tuning the main sheet is much easier, secure and effortless. The hydraulic system works on oil pressure that pulls or lashes a spectra rope (1:7 or 1:4) which modifies the boom angles via electric switches, low or high speed.

V50 HYBRID SYSTEM, CLEAN SEA, CLEAN AIR The innovative technology of the Vismara V-Hybrid and the hydrodynamic shape and lightweight construction make it possible to absorb little energy from the environment, to obtain total energy autonomy through the installation of a fuel-electric hybrid engine that uses the drag of the propeller while sailing to recharge the batteries. Vismara V-Hybrid, an innovative system that maximize the performance and usability of the boat, helps to keep the water cleaner. Clean sea, clean air.

INTEGRATED SYSTEMS/VISMOTICA Vismotica connects the integrated systems on board to the innovative elements of design: evolution of automation for yachts, that serves to steer the boat through a single control panel. Propulsion, navigation, maneuvering, air conditioning, security, entertainment.An ‘‘intelligent’’ boat that brings closer to a new way of living the sea.

CLEAN SEA, CLEAN AIR

21

RGB LED LIGHTINGChoosy interiors, motor yacht styling, home comfort and atmosphere technology merge motor and sailing interiors spaces.

STRUCTURAL INTERIORSAdvanced carbon composite panels designed to sustain loads and permanently laminated to the hull, mean that the furniture can be used as secondary structures inside the hull instead of a redundant local structure. Wood veneer on painting applied for esthetics.

DECK STEPPED MASTThe deck stepped mast over structural ring frame allows full open spaced interiors and better and lighter mast load compression transferred to the hull structure.

ANCHORING SYSTEMA structured carbon integral bow sprit with recessed anchor system makes it possible to eliminate the stem head fittings and run the Genneker without the need for a baby stay.

LIGHTWEIGHT MOTOR YACHTSThanks to the innovative deep V hull and advanced composite construction, Vismara opens the way to a motor with half displacement = half power= half fuel consumption= low noise and pollution.

22

HULL CHINEEarly in the year 2000 Vismara foresaw the benefits of dynamic stability and increased water line length generated by hull chine section.

EASY DOCKJoystick control makes it possible to rotate 360° to shift sideways and to motor fwd/bwd with an intuitive finger tip.

JACUZZI and CHAISE LONGUEFor unrivaled comfort the Vismara cockpit is convertible with luxury amenities.

OVER SIZED HULL CRISTAL WINDOWSThanks to very sophisticated carbon structural engineering, Vismara over limits 3m X 64cm ocean certified hull side windows.

OPENING HARD TOPConvertible hard top for mega sailors and motor yachts with opening side windows for open air enjoyment.

BOWSPRITAfter the removal of the old design and the bow roller, the new bowsprit has been realized in a shape which is then expanded to become the basis for the lamination of the carbon, then fixed on the bow by banding on a wide surface and applying to the anchor lock

and teak that was joined to the rest of the deck. In addition to the obvious sails advantages downwind, it also adds to the elegance of the boat which, in this case, also brings advantages of a fiscal nature.

BALTIC 60 - NEVERLAND REFITTINGVismara Marine refitting section has developed the concept of ‘Braintenance’, combining the words brain and maintenance, based on a fundamental concept: making real upgrades that make the boat more functional and up to date, using new materials and recent technologies. In practice, giving an added value to the basic maintenance. This, of course, is possible when handling with luxury boats which already provides a good basis for action, where it is also worth investing into, but, above all, using intelligent thinking can really improve everything, for batter use, comfort and will raise the value of the boat when selling it. With many major refitting and a professional team, the structure of Vismara Marine can provide an excellent and personal result. Neverland, former Mattone 4, is the most recent testimony.»

26

STIG – BALTIC 65 STIG was built with racing and cruising in mind with higher priority for racing. It’s one of the most high-performance boats ever constructed at Baltic Yachts until 2010, as the owner intended to be very competitive under the IRC rating rule against all-out race yachts such as the STP65. Vismara Shipyard has updated STIG to match new racing regulations and optimized her rating. STIG participated and won many prestigious regattas.

HULLThe entire hull construction is made by ‘a sandwich’ structure, using unidirectional and biaxial carbon UT700, vacuumed in 0,8 bar with epoxy matrix Ampreg 22. Hull, deck, structures and bulkheads - acclimatized 24 hours at room temperature - are cooked in a controlled temperature of 60° for 12h. The raised stern and hall chain shape, a trademark of the Vismara shipyard, providing a longer water line, comfort and speed when heeling.

DECKThe bow is characterized by a ‘slim’ shape, with deck solutions designed to concentrate all weights in the centre, double steering in a very advanced external layout. The brightness inside is guaranteed be the seven deck hatches in addition to the lateral deckhouse windows. The Genoa sheets are placed above deck while mainsheet is positioned between the benches of the cockpit and steering.

SUN FRIENDLYStriking immediately are the high efficient solar panels, laid on deck with a nominal capacity of 400w. Each of the 4 solar panels is connected to a regulated charger dedicated to ensure the stability of the system and preserving the best state of batteries.

Choosing components with less consumption in theory create a self-sufficient energy saver boat. Another very particular and relevant installation is the spectra water maker Ventura 200, that produces 31lt/hour, consuming only 9amp, it is able to produce 62 liters in just a couple of hours consuming only 216wh and powered by solar panels only. Able to operate during sailing, with engine off and no generator. INTERNALThe interiors include a kitchen “c” shaped, two symmetrical aft cabins, equipped with bathroom and a big and comfortable owner cabin forward with separated shower room and WC room.

BALTIC 72 GRAND PRIX IS A JOINT R&D PROJECT BETWEEN BALTIC YACHTS AND THE ITALIAN OWNER MR. ALESSANDRO ROMBELLI, AN EX OWNER OF A BALTIC 65 AND A VISMARA 50. STIG was designed by Judel/Vrolijk & co to comply with the mini maxi IRC rules. This innovative 72 footer is competing with the fastest mini maxis ever built, taking part in prestigious races around the Mediterranean. The boat has a Prepreg Nomex carbon epoxy sandwich laminate with Kevlar Honeycomb core in both the hull and deck and as is normal for Baltic Yachts the weight of the project is being strictly controlled with both technical calculations and scheduled weight checks.Other special features are the fixed keel with an impressive draft and the retractable propeller system which enables a flush underwater hull while sailing. The interior are a mix of painted and untreated carbon with 12 pipe cots, a galley area and one head. To further save weight there is no interior lighting and the crew will have to use headlights when under deck. Baltic 72 Grand Prix is also equipped with a Hall Spars carbon mast with racing boom and a composite standing rigging. Vismara / Baltic Italia has been responsible for starting up this research project, joining the owner and Baltic Yachts for a common effort in advancing the stage of the art of yacht construction and team work.

A WINNING FORMULAThe new Vismara V47 RC was designed together with the owher. Mr. Lacorte, a passionate for family sailing and racing, himself organizer of the famous 151 mg regatta.

Among the programs the V47 RC is also expected to participate in ther international cross atlantic arc regatta for eventually join the prestigious caribbean races with a winning formula; excellent team, perfect yacht and not less important, style & elegance.

This project benefits from many years of synergy between Vismara and baltic yachts & infect manage to combine high technological contents of the Vismara shipyard with the finnish classic lines. For example, comfortable interiors for cruising & easy handling while participating regattas. As for the deck & hull all in carbon sandwich which guarantees maximum efficiency & functionality. The V47 RC was designed for an experienced owner that was looking for a unique master peace in a reasonable price, produced in a small line. Suitable yacht to those who wish to make an experience in sailing techniques but without having a demanding yacht. Hull and deck are more extreme, built in carbon fiber sandwich for maximum lightness and rigidity for full performance. The running rigging are all recessed under the flush deck, all in order to create an uncluttered deck surface with maximum comfort while cruising & without compromising the performance. That’s how the new Vismara V47 RC will be capable to turn from a family vacation yacht into a strong racer with winning ambitions.

Steering the V47 RC is a technological pleasure thanks to the 2 “touch screen” monitors on the helm pedestals for a full control on all navigation instruments; plotter, gps & other virtual systems. As well for the live weather forecast & up to monitoring and controlling electrical & mechanical systems. For the most demanding owners we provide an optional ‘racing kit’ with a high stability keel system and low wight interiors, while for the “easy sailing” a full sails automation kit, or easy manoeuvring joy-stick control, the “vismooring”.

RELAXED CRUISING AT HIGH SPEEDS. KENNETH NYFELT DESCRIBES THE BALTIC 62 SEMI-CUSTOM AS “A FAST CRUISING YACHT, DESIGNED FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE CRUISING BUT ALSO FOR EASE AND SIMPLICITY OF HANDLING”.The Baltic 62SC project has evolved from the Baltic 62 Custom currently nearing completion at the yard, and also the more performance-oriented Baltic 65 launched last year.The Semi-Custom model will be available with two different deck layouts - single or twin-cockpit - and two different interior layouts - owner aft or owner forward.The single cockpit option is likely to appeal to owners and families who like to get closely involved in the sailing and handling of the boat. The twin cockpit creates an area away from the sheets and winches, enabling guests or less experienced sailors to enjoy their cruising at a distance from the working areas of the deck.The keel is available as a standard fixed option or as a telescopic, lifting keel. The carbon rig package includes aft-swept spreaders providing strong support to the mast, minimising the rig’s reliance on the running backstays. As with the deck layout options, Nyfelt says the choice of interior layout is down to the way the owner intends to use the boat. “Most owners tend to choose the ‘owner forward’ option these days, as this makes for a quieter cabin away from the noise of the cockpit and main operating areas further aft,” he says.“However, for the owner looking for a smoother ride when the boat is at sea, we still offer the ‘owner aft’ option.”The styling of the interior is very open to the owner’s tastes and preferences. “At Baltic we are used to accommodating a range of styles, from traditional Scandinavian teak interiors, to the white, minimalist, modern styling that has become more popular in recent years. We think the custom options available on the Baltic 62SC will give this boat a very broad appeal.”

HULLHull laminate to be a Carbon /Aramid/Epoxy composite over Core-Cell foam, vacuum laminated to design weight fractions and post cured to 50 degrees C for minimum 16 hours in accordance with the resin manufacturer’s recommended cure cycle. Hull laminate is done using 3-stage vacuum infusion system.

KEELThe keel can either be a fixed keel fin with a lead bulb or a lifting keel version.

DECKDeck built as a one-off on a male or female plug using Carbon/Epoxy-vacuum consolidated laminates cured at 50 ºC for minimum 16 hours. Core material used is Core-Cell with higher density inserts in way of fittings. 3-stage infusion type laminate.

INTERIORAdvanced lightweight construction techniques used in construction of the interior. A custom made high technology laminating press is used for the lamination of the main bulkheads and interior panels. The use of this press results in bulkheads and panels with very high laminate quality and surface smoothness enabling application of thin wood veneer on visible surfaces without excessive use of filler.

CANOVA

61

Sailing Yachts

CIRCUMNAVIGATING THE WORLD IN CLASSIC STYLE THE BALTIC 112 CANOVA IS A SAILING YACHT DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR CIRCUMNAVIGATING THE GLOBE. WITH THE OWNER INTENT ON MAKING THE PASSAGE WITH THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF PORT STOPOVERS, THE CHALLENGE FOR THE FINNISH BOAT BUILDER AND THE OTHER PARTNERS IN THIS PROJECT WAS TO INCORPORATE SUFFICIENT STORAGE CAPACITY WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE HIGH LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE WHICH HAVE BECOME THE TRADEMARK OF EVERY BALTIC YACHT.

Kenneth Nyfelt, Sales Manager at Baltic Yachts, says the yard already had a good relationship with the owner from Italy and he has been very specific about that he wanted to get sufficient water and fuel capacity for some proper, ocean-going, long-distance sailing. During his voyage he wants to remain as independent as possible from needing to refuel and restock the boat in harbours and marinas.”

Baltic Yachts has worked with a number of partners on the 112 project, with Judel/Vrolijk who provided their expertise as the naval architects, while Italian naval architect Alex Vismara worked closely with the owner and braught his design input into the boat. Baltic own in-house design teams provided much of the technical details for the boat. R&J Design worked on the hull, deck, interior and plumbing, while Flink Engineering provided specifications for the electrics and electronics.

DESIGNER’S COMMENTThe B112 judel/vrolijk & co has been designed for an experienced sailor, who is intending to navigate around the world but also likes to enjoy the pleasure of a really fast sailing yacht. To fulfil the needs of long distance cruising to exotic and remote waters, the decision has been made to put the focus on safety and comfort and therefore to go for an e-glass sandwich hull. Designing to the same stiffness, this material leads to slightly thicker skins of the hull shell compared to a full carbon hull and therefore the hull becomes more quiet and gets a bit of extra safety against impact damage.Nevertheless it was the goal to create a real performance yacht that allows for fast ocean passages and easy handling of the yacht. Therefore the boat has been projected with a lift keel concept, that has been designed to achieve a reasonable, but not extreme shallow draft of approx. 3.5 m with keel up and that provides a deep draft of 5.5 when the keel is fully lowered to combine a proper righting moment with a moderate ballast weight and to end up with a ratio of weight, ballast and sail area that allows for good sailing performance.Judel/vrolijk & co

HYBRID

Sailing Yachts

THE DESIGN OF THE V50 HYBRID WAS BORN FROM THE WILL OF THE VISMARA BOATYARD TO FOLLOWTHE MOTTO:«CLEAN SEA, CLEAN AIR», IN RESPONSE TO A GROWING ATTENTION FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.Neglecting the eco-compatibility of a product would be exactly the opposite route of development and technological research that the Vismara boatyard has always followed with consistency and passion.Thanks to this route the V 50 HYBRID was developed and designed with the goal to create a landmark in the world production of pleasure yachts that will aspire others to realize also eco-compatible crafts. Achieving these objectives gives the V 50 HYBRID an additional green star plus platinum notation, which represents the highest recognition for the efforts made by a boatyard to create a ‘eco-friendly- Craft’ and to preserve the production under this terms

THE DESIGNThe design philosophy follows the ethos that has been guiding Vismara boatyard since the foundation of the company maintaining the concept of ‘user friendly’ and technological boats. Bright and spacey interiors, comfortable and well organized deck plans, creating a batter interaction between user, environment and automated systems. For example, an automated system such as magic trim or a steering joystick are a living proof for how docking maneuvers or sails adjustment can become easier, comfortable and safer. These are just some of the features that embody the Vismara philosophy. The successful combination between ‘easy to use’ and eco-compatibility is the greatest achievement of the Vismara boatyard and its V 50 HYBRID.

THE SYSTEMMany technical features characterize the V 50 HYBRID, one particular is the hybrid propulsion system that allows to alternate between a use of a diesel engine or an electric motor. This solution means that it is possible to sail using only the electric motor that is powered by the batteries on board. The hybrid propulsion system main benefits are: access to protected marine areas, less pollution and sailing in complete silence and harmony with the nature.The hybrid system includes sophisticated and long living lithium batteries that are proved to be less polluting compare to the normal lead batteries thanks to the new power regeneration system. The new power regeneration system takes the driving force from the electric motor during navigation with motor on or from the bow thruster during navigation under sail power. It gives an excellent energy autonomy that is rarely seen on other systems.

THE EFFECTThe lightness and hydrodynamic efficiency of the craft have an important effect on the engine propulsion system. The outstanding light weight and advanced hull of the V 50 HYBRID and a high performance under sail power, means installation of a reduced power engine and significant savings in fuel consumption. Not only, but choosing an engine with nox, hc and pt emissions is approved by the stringent restrictions of the green star notation concerning ‘emissions of internal combustion engines’.

THE TOGETHERThe hull and deck of the v 50 hybrid, as in all Vismara boats, is mainly made in carbon. Thanks to its mechanical properties, light weight and high resistance to deterioration means less pollutants in the sea. Built-in fuel tanks with double bottom and bilge systems that collect oil will prevent pollutants from ending up in the sea in the event of any leaking from the hull. While holding tanks for black and grey water with filter systems, shore discharge and automatic monitoring for discharge at sea, will all allow the craft to comply with the regulations and restrictions that are part of sailing along the coastlines in major nations in the mediterranean sea and elsewhere. As far as onboard domestic appliances are concerned, the use of refrigerating systems which use eco-compatible refrigerant gases that do not damage the ozone layer is just one of the many examples of Vismara boatyard application of the green star philosophy. The green star platinum plus notation also pays particular attention to reducing power consumption, which is why the v 50 hybrid from the design stage had a meticulous balance of electric equipment and optimization of chosen consumers with the lowest consumption possible. A simple example is the artificial lighting onboard, obtaining through the use of low energy consumption led for more than 80% of the total need.Special attention was given to the furnishing choices, especially with the choice of eco-sustainable materials such as cork for the dunnag or corecork for the composite sandwich panels. All is totally compliant with the anti-deforestation policies that have been particularly popular, and rightly so, in the last decade.

THE TECHNIQUEA last aspect to focus on could only be the construction techniques that are very characteristic with the Vismara boatyard. But for the v 50 hybrid it is refined even further to comply thanks to the green star plus notation guidelines and so as not to limit the continuation of technical and quality developments acquired over many years of production, study and research.

Sailing Yachts

The hull, deck, structures and fittings are laminated using vacuum bags, which eliminate any excess of resin and guarantees excellent mechanical characteristics, notable savings in weight terms and reduced emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere, such as styrene, for example. The painting stage, like the lamination, is carried out with specific attention to the emission of vocs (volatile organic compounds), which means using paints with low environmental impact, advanced air extraction and purification systems, all under to green star notation requirements. Small details such as the use of silicone-based anti-fouling paints, biodegradable lubricants and registers to control highly pollutant materials are just some of the secondary aspects that, with respect to green star notation, are characteristics of the v 50 hybrid and they play a role in making this design project something decidedly out of the ordinary.« Clean sea, clean air, in other words ... V 50 HYBRID!

AN UNPRECEDENTED REVOLUTIONARY PROJECT. THE RESULT OF A COLLABORATION BETWEEN VISMARA DESIGN STUDIO & THE INTERIOR DESIGNER LUCA DINI.

A combination that leads to the creation of an advanced craft in style and features where light and air are the main characters, thanks to the large windows in the hull and in the deckhouse. This craft is perfectly in line with Vismara’s style, characterized with high technological standards, modern design, lightweight materials and attention to details which ensure lightness, speed, safety and livability. The exterior areas are comfortable and elegant with wide seating spaces for guests and a large stern area dedicated to the ‘spa zone’. This zone contains 2 Adjustable and concealed ‘chaise longue’ made of folding teak panels around the Jacuzzi with added mattresses on top, while not in use straighten up and become a part of the deck.All enriched by the use of design features such as upholstered seats, large living zones on deck protected by special tents system made of carbon tubes which can be removable while taking some sun. Glassed surfaces and the careful study of Vismara design studio with the designer Luca Dini, made the interior incredibly bright.The large saloon has a variable space layout thanks to the use of modular, elegant and linear sofas, while the dining area can be transformed into an open lounge bar while opening the hard top windows.The hydraulic hard top sliding system is hidden inside the structure. The special inflatable sealing system guaranties a full isolation for the whole system. The guest rooms are characterized by the use of furniture surrounded by RGB illumination system that changes colors and creates different scenario and mood. All furniture is a structural element, this tremendously benefits the weight and rigidity of the boat. A careful study of natural and artificial lighting, combined with the use of special coating materials, such as the multicolored resin that covers the walls create a real peace of art and make staying on board even more enjoyable. The special carbon hull, designed with the shape of the new Vismara sport ‘Meta’, including an under floor lifting keel that do not interfere with the interiors and a generous

THE BALTIC 65 NAMED STIG WAS SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED AND TEST SAILED IN FINLAND END OF MAY BEFORE BEING SHIPPED TO THE MEDITERRANEAN. WHILE THIS JUDEL/VROLIJK YACHT HAS BEEN BUILT WITH RACING AND CRUISING IN MIND, RACING IS ARGUABLY THE HIGHER PRIORITY.

The Baltic 65 Stig is probably one of the most high-performance boats ever constructed at Baltic Yachts’ yard, with the owner intending to be very competitive under the IRC rating rule against all-out race yachts such as the STP65. “It won’t be a Spartan race boat,” says Project Manager Jonas Krokvik, “because it still has a full interior. But there have been some important concessions to weight. For example there is no teak on the deck, it is painted instead to save weight and reduce heeling moment.” Baltic 65 Stig has been equipped with two mainsails, one with minimum roach for ease of handling with a permanent backstay, and a racing mainsail with big roach, which will entail running backstays led to either aft quarter.

A racing yacht should preferably have a very deep keel whereas a cruising yacht should reach also shallow waters. Therefore Baltic 65 stig has a telescopic lifting keel that is located completely outside and does not influence the interior or limit the cabin arrangements. For cruising the telescopic keel will make the baltic 65 Stig a versatile yacht for visiting shallow bays and harbors, with the 4.1M draft capable of reducing by 1.2M. The interior layout is very interesting combining a twin cockpit deck layout with a single aft entrance. This enables an interior layout with a saloon area aft and all living space forward. The interior is very modern and will be minimally fitted out, with very little permanent furniture. Together with Rolf Vrolijk a number of VPP studies were run on various Length/Beam-, Displacement/Length- plus Sail Area/ Displacement ratios in order to optimize the yacht as much as possible to meet the given conditions. All these various concept, layout and performance studies that resulted in Baltic 65 Stig have been worked out in cooperation between Baltic Yachts, judel/vrolijk & co, R&J Design and Baltic Yachts’ representative in Italy, Alessandro Vismara.

THIS CRAFT IS A PERFECT CONTINUATION OF VISMARA STYLE: TECHNOLOGY OF THE HIGHEST STANDARD, MODERN STYLE, LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL.

PROJECTThis boat is not exclusively intended for regatta use, since the owner and family can also use it for pleasure cruising, even with a smaller crew. This is all due to fully integrated technical features, such as mast and boom in carbon with retracting V62 Sport keel, mainsheet and halyard control are led through to the cockpit with contra-rotating, dual speed, electric winches. The boom has been devised with special collapsible flaps for easier mainsail storage with smaller crew.The telescopic keel, with draught that varies from 2.55 to 3.55 m, combines the usefulness of reduced draught for the port with the advantages in performance terms of a keel with great extension.

CHARACTERISTICThe boat has all amenities: air conditioning, ice maker, Miele coffee machine and Bang & Olufsen audio video system. The sandwich structures of the interior mean a reduction in the weight of fittings to the benefit of the ballast ratio, which is 46%. The hull have evolutionary planing surfaces. The helm station console, navigation screens and cockpit seating are all fully integrated into the geometry of the deck, which also includes the bathrooms in the stern (a characteristic feature of Vismara style) to create more living space. The deckhouse has a glazed front to provide a wide visual range from inside.

FAMILY FRIENDLY RACER THIS BOAT WAS CREATED FOR AN OWNER WHO WANTED TO SAIL WITH HIS LOVED ONES AND, EVERY NOW AND THEN, TO PARTICIPATE IN A REGATTA – WITH THE CLEAR AIM TO WIN,OF COURSE.

The V54 was designed for a family use with high capability for the racing season. This means having the typical Vismara features: Lightweight construction with a carbon hull that keeps the displacement under 10- ton when 50 % of that is accounted to the keel. Easy sailing, using integrated systems on board combined with intelligent design such as the clean deck where all the controls recessed at the build phase and permit an easy maneuvering with simple function during cruising, all in a press of a batten. Other predispositions were also taken in account for regatta times.

The mainsail has the lion’s share and jib with minimal overlap, a code zero or Gennaker will take turns on the bow. To meet the owners passion for both cruising and racing, there are two versions of the sail plan (square top main or traditional main specifically to ensure that only one person is required on deck besides the helmsman).

In terms of waterlines, the classic geometry of the V55 is very much in evidence with the last innovate Vismara yachts with slender entries, maximum beam amidships and flat stern emphasized by an almost vertical angle between the bottom and sides, this clear division restates once again a design choice. The entire deck is all about straight lines with specific details used to indicate exclusivity. For instance, all of the sections of the guardrail have polygonal rather than rounded profiles. Deck features, such as lockers and the flash deck are all custom made. BELOW DECKS A TRADITIONAL VISMARA LAYOUT IN THE LAST 10 YEARS WHICH

BECAME TODAY A BENCHMARK WHICH INSPIRES MANY SHIPYARDS THANKS TO ITS STYLISH SOLUTIONS.

The owners cabin lies in the bow while the two twin guest cabins are in the aft, all have their own privet bathrooms. The saloons floor is slightly raised to create a larger technical space for the structural tanks and most systems, to keep as much weight as possible amidships and to easily trace and control the systems. This was also the thinking behind the decision to locate the engine at the centre of the saloon. It is completely enclosed in a casing that can be flipped open for inspection and maintenance purposes. It also creates a stand and structure for the dining table which can be opened up thanks to side wings and also raised to accommodate up to eight dinners at a time.The kitchen, elegantly separated by two steps barely perceptible, is the ideal continuation of the dinette and disappears completely under an easily removable cover that act as a cutting board when overturned, in this way the kitchen appears to be a normal twin furniture from each side.The electrical integrated system, distributed throughout the hull to reduce and rationalize the weight, has a triple back-up and all of the onboard instruments can be monitored and controlled from just one touch screen.

A good compromise between architecture and design a boat that has a different dimension from the object held in his hand: it is a moving object, for which he was a «something» that is design, but it’s big, it has interior, must, therefore, able to combine coherently the roomy cabin with an outside line, a complex dialogue around architecture and design for certain items for others, in short, a «right» field trials.

The project stems from the idea that winning is better, that is, among other things, creates emotion and said it immediately transmits a form that is convincing, passionate, but it seems normal at the same time innovative. The exterior of the «V50 Sport» feature original shapes and straight lines with a very low coach roof, which complements the shaft slides in carbon supported on deck. The design element that contains the track for the application of the spray top, goes up to the cockpit which is very secure, comfortable and not hanged by the maneuvers of the mainsail and Genoa. Since this boat has also been designed to try their hand at racing was the preferred solution of 6 winches with a provision of consolidated operations. The space reserved for the «trimmer» was located in a protected area between the end of the deckhouse, which ends with the plane where there are two baths in the service of the cabins below deck, and the columns of the steering wheel, with the contrast of the mainsail, which is part of the step of dividing the area of the helmsman in the stern. Another important element is the parameter which are placed low on the winches for the Genoa and mainsail with sheets of the various chokes that are completely recessed below deck and serve as protection to the steering wheel. Additional distinctive elements of the exterior are: the bow completely free with all the opening flush, the lightweight design of the integrated non-slip surface and bowsprit in the construction of the hull without the need for additional reinforcement and with the possibility to integrate more. To conclude with the exterior, it is important to emphasize two points aft, the turret can function with the carbon support for satellite, radar, beacon street on a cruise can be the support of the outboard motor of the dinghy and walkway carbon consists of a single piece of 2.20 meters, inserted in the transom to make it lighter and more slender, and as a rib design. For the interior has been revived, after a careful reworking of ergonomics, the solution of the draft prepared by Alessandro Vismara V52 in keeping with some modifications dictated by the lower decks and sleek. The starting point was to have the floor at a constant height and flush doors to give continuity to the entire length of the boat, using innovative materials that provide more rigidity and far more flexible solutions. Going down, left is the kitchen area with sink, refrigerator, stove, oven and right correspondence with the area the opportunity to enter an additional refrigerator. The square has two U-shaped with four straps, which individually may have two different heights, 0.45 or 0.72 cm and at the same time form a single table can be used from the comfort of eight people and two stools with separate, everything is permitted by the presence of a central passage with a double door of 0.35 cm each, is not normally possible due to the presence of the tree. At the bow there is a cabin with two large beds, then the cabinets and the bathroom where she obtained a partial shower where you can, with a longitudinal movement, passes out through the window man that also allows access by ‘ outside the locker. Aft there are two separate cabins, each of which is directly connected to your bathroom. Important and distinctive interior signs are: cupboards suspended for the entire length of the hull to allow the user to enjoy the full width of the boat and a strip of polycarbonate mirror to stand out more space. The project of «V50 SPORT» is innovative, stimulating the imagination and expectations, always searching for something more, to the challenge of the future!

THE OVERALL STYLE OF THIS CRAFT IS SIMILAR TO THAT ALREADY USED ON THE VISMARA – BALTIC 60’ AND 66’, AND THEREFORE, IN LINE WITH THE VISMARA 50’ CLASSIC “TWIN” ALREADY UNDER CONSTRUCTION.It is aimed at customers seeking a fast and technological cruiser with all of the very latest Vismara innovations but a classical, elegant style, and features a soft hull profile and a fibreglass carbon construction, two cockpits, a stunning teak bridge and ultra-comfy interiors, made to measure. The hull is a Vismara design, based on the Vismara – Farr 60’ “Mattone”. The hull profile is modern but not extreme, seeing that it is a classic, and it guarantees better passage over the waves, comfort while sailing and excellent performance either under sail or engine power. The whole craft has been built with the standard materials and technology in use at Vismara, i.e., advanced composites, fibreglass, carbon and vacuum epoxy. With its classical teak bridge in pure Baltic style, the deck has a large sail peak in the bow with interior anchor peak and concealed anchor, flush deck companions, slightly raised deckhouse with panoramic side windows, central cockpit for guests with comfy seating and backrests, a large sun pad amidships, a stern cockpit to which all of the rig has been sent underneath the deck, two stern peaks for storage and a 2.60 m compartment for a tender, plus bathing platform.

The sail plan is complete with carbon mast and all ultra-modern services so that the boat can be skippered by a single person. The main sail furls electrically into the boom, the jib and code zero furlers will be set below deck and, as already mentioned, the rig is sent below deck to the stern cockpit, with main sheet and hydraulic vang control from a power unit controlled from the rudder. Other modern features on this boat are the new 24 V gensets, electric water maker, and computer-controlled electronic air conditioning operated by battery. The interiors are comprised of a service cabin in the bow, which can be used by children or crew and which also has its own bathroom. Amidships is the convertible master cabin, i.e., it has two double beds and two bathrooms plus a foldaway central partition that can be used to convert the large master cabin into two guest cabins. Behind the mast is a double dinette with dining area starboard and lounge area on the port side. A large semi concealed galley and a chart area are located to the sides of the entrance and they create a background to the dinette, giving an idea of space while maintaining the privacy of the two service areas. In the stern there are two classical double cabins with separate bathrooms. A last detail to point out is the retracting telescopic keel that makes it possible to have a draught of just 2.40 m, and which extends up to 3.60 m. With the new telescopic keel design from Vismara, draught is variable but it does not take up any room in the dinette.

All this thanks to the integrated techniques predispositions, such as mast and boom Carbon concealed halyards and rigging, halyards and mainsheet handling the cockpit with electric winches counter double speed.The boom is designed to allow maximum outhaul without bothering to helmsman and to hide the sheet in the return to Germany. The telescopic keel, with a draft, but varying from 2.40 m 3.60, combines the convenience of a shallow draft to the port and the performance benefits of a Keel with a great stretch.All this, without taking up space in the cabin. The boat, benefits from internal structural sandwich, so to obtain a low weight construction to the benefit of the relationship ballast that will by 46%. The hull has a sharp evolutionary planning.The steering console and navigation screens are integrated into the geometry deck, which has a deckhouse with vetrage front in order to give a wide view from inside.For the internal layout of the bathrooms we have the new system at the ends stern and bow, to give more living space and lighten the ends the boat. In addition, engine and tanks amidships under the floorboards of the cabin, optimize the centering and the lower center of gravity, so as to allow a best passage over the waves.

For several decades Baltic Yachts has used the latest technology in both materials and equipment. If the varnished teak interior is typical of the traditional Baltic style, the same cannot be said of the electrical systems, which represent the very latest technology. With all the boat´s operations managed via a large touch screen, the system is very easy to use, and gives the operator both visual and audio feedback. Designed by judel/vrolijk, the yacht was delivered in summer 2008.

WITH PRESENTATION IN SPRING 2008, THE V50 FAST CRUISER COMPLETES THE LINE OF BOATS MADE BY VISMARA FOR THE “CLASSIC” FAST CRUISER RANGE, WHICH INCLUDES VARIOUS FAMOUS CRAFT SUCH AS THE V45 “BEAUCEANT”, THE V50 “MISTRESS”, THE V54 “GI.GÒ…2” AND THE V54 “BRIGHELLA”. Designed in classical style, starting with our design project for the Baltic 56’ “Whisper”, the V50 Fast Cruiser is a high-performance craft for fast cruising, even with a smaller crew.

The boat is a “classic”, but there is a host of different innovations in perfect Vismara style: the bow platform that allows easier use of the gennaker; a retracting anchor that comes out from under the hull; the very special retracting keel for a draught of just 1.60 m, but which extends to up to 3.0 m with a telescopic system, without taking up any room in the interior; spray protection hood and “bimini top” for the helmsman, which folds away completely; the rig, halyards and even the genoa sheets are all concealed in the deck; the transom opens to create a bathing platform and access to the tender storage area. The sail plan, using a doubled system of main sail tracks, guarantees easy storage of the sail without outside help. The jib and code zero furlers are mounted below deck. The interior layout might be defined as “symmetrical”. The master cabin, fore, has two beds, wardrobe and bathroom with separate shower. Amidships is the saloon with the chart area and galley at the back. Two cabins with double beds are in the stern, with a central bathroom which both share. It is the position of the bathroom that creates a large area in the dinette. The finishes are completely in classical style, inspired by Baltic Yachts, with teak deck, classical style furnishings in teak with false ceilings and panelling in fabric.

COMFORT AND ELEGANCE. THESE ARE THE KEY WORDS THAT FEATURE LARGE ON THE NEW 52’ VISMARA. THE OWNER’S REQUEST WAS: A FAST CRUISER WITH A DECK PLAN LAID OUT FOR SIMPLE USE WITH A SMALLER CREW. IN OTHER WORDS, AN EASY SAILING CRAFT. The design project for the vessel is by Vismara, together with the owner, Angelo Bruni, well-known fashion designer and head of the “Guess” line for Europe. This means that the style, colours and materials are extremely refined. The hull, deck and bulkheads have been built using vacuum epoxy lamination, post-cured at 60 degrees, GRP and carbon. From a technical viewpoint, the boat is the maximum expression of the Vismara Easy Sailing concept and in particular, the sails, which include: furling lines and code zero furling lines set in below deck, carbon mast with electric mainsail furler boom, totally concealed lines, run on electric winches, and hydraulic main sheet with internal piston. Other sailing comforts include: concealed anchor in the bottom of the hull, retracting bow thruster, foldaway cockpit table, lengthways tender compartment with 2.60 m electric tender, sail locker and very capacious peaks, sundeck area and cockpit seats that convert to loungers, and splashguard hood which folds away completely. The deckhouse is fully glazed, all the way round, with composite material ceiling. It is actually an intermediate version between the V52-01 and the V62; only in this case, the multi-faceted deckhouse with “motor vehicle” design, has fronts and sides in plate glass and the glazing extends aftwards, to the cabins behind. Another special and innovative feature is the telescopic retracting keel: this is a new Vismara design for draft of 2.40 to 3.60 m and, thanks to the new system, it does not occupy any room inside the boat.

For the propulsion and to reach the speed of 11 knots per engine, we have chosen the brand new 86 HP engine with electronic control and complete with integrated permanent magnet genset. The hull will be gold in colour and instead of teak, the deck will be covered with a special non-slip surface created with a pattern of sand-coloured, tactile-effect paint. Below deck, the interiors are ultra-modern. The overall layout is that of the V52’ but with a new style for the master cabin in the bow where, thanks to a special carbon bulkhead, it has been possible to eliminate the through mast and rest it on the deck. This makes the boat more open and comfortable. The master cabin has two queen-sized beds and a large bathroom with separate shower cubicle. After the master cabin, towards the stern, is a saloon with galley area, which is sunken compared to the dining room/lounge. A screen that serves both as a TV and map computer, comes out of the table unit, so it can be watched from inside and outside, while sailing. There are two identical, symmetrical cabins in the stern, each with twin beds and a bathroom. The furnishings are all in composite material, lacquered in the colours tobacco brown and gold, bamboo and gold tex. The inside of the hull and the ceilings are ivory. You might say that the overall style for this craft has an oriental feel. The launch date is set for March 2008. 95

THIS BALTIC 50 IS PROOF OF THE VERSATILITY IN THE CONCEPT OF SEMI-CUSTOMISABLE CONSTRUCTION. FOR ALL OF THE EXAMPLES BUILT, THE STARTING POINT AND SOLE CONSTANT IS THE HULL SHAPE, THE WORK OF NAVAL ARCHITECTURE FIRM TRIPP DESIGN.

The interiors, deck plan, construction and furnishing materials are the variables that have let us launch 7 Baltic 50 boats, each one the very image of what its owner desires and totally in line with its intended use. The eleventh example of the Baltic 50 is currently being built, commissioned by a European client. This boat has all of the technological and overall design characteristics of the whole 50-foot line, but it has been customised to suit the tastes and needs of its owner. The hull is in sandwich material with a Corecell core. The hull and deck are vacuum laminated in GRP and epoxy. The deck is faced in teak and has a twin cockpit. It will have a carbon mast by Nordic Mast, with internal piston to adjust the main sheet and it will have two 65.5 electric winches by Harken. The anchor has a rotating arm that can be manually controlled and hidden below deck. The telescopic keel can reduce draught from 2.85 m to 2.25 m and does not interfere with the interiors, since the exclusive design has all of the mechanics under the dunnage. The retractable telescopic keel allows the owner to sail in low tidal areas and thanks to the reduced draught; it also makes port access easier.

WITH A DECK AND INTERIOR DESIGN PROJECT BY VISMARA DESIGN AND A HULL BY JUDEL/VROLIJK & CO., THE SECOND BALTIC 66 SEMI CUSTOM IS A FAST CRUISER AND THEREFORE, IT HAS A LARGE HULL AND SOFT,ROUNDED FORMS. The construction is in glass/epoxy composite for the hull and carbon/epoxy for the deck. In this way we have used the lightest material where it is needed most, i.e. on the deck and then we have used glass in the hull to eliminate the noise. It has been designed for use by a couple, without crew and therefore it has all of the automation and equipment that serve to make it easy to use. This equipment includes a furling mainsail inside the boom with an automatic halyard regulated by a captive winch, all-electric windlasses and fairleads, a powerful bow thruster, a large warping winch on the bow to pull the moorings and a telescopic anchor nose with free line. The deck is fully faced in teak and complete with flush inset companions, custom built by Baltic Yachts and it has the special feature of an integrated deckhouse, like on the Baltic 60 “Mattone”, where the top of the deckhouse goes down gently into the stern, integrating the steering area and backs in the cockpit seating. This solution was suggested by the owner on the previous boat and has proved successful both because of the pleasant aesthetic effect and the great comfort while cruising. Since this boat has been designed for fast cruising with maximum comfort, it has all of the best possible equipment, such as: computer-controlled air conditioning that is battery operated, meaning it is possible to keep cool without switching on the generator; an engine increased by 240 hp for cruising speeds of 11 knots; automatic water maker; automatic generator with 24V on the batteries; integrated monitoring system; control and navigation on screens in both the course charting area and at the wheel.The style and layout of the interiors were conceived in conjunction with the owner and Vismara Design, but the style remains the classic look of a real Baltic. Fittings are in veneered teak over a composite structure, to give this ultra-modern, ultra-light boat a more traditional feel. The interior has been divided into four cabins, saloon, galley and three bathrooms.

This is the third v 46’ semicustom and it is a superlative example of the best concept of vismarayachts: an extremely sophisticated craft in design and construction terms, with high-performance under sail, easy to handle with a small crew and with cosy furnishings designed with a warm style.

The hull has been optimised for top performance and features light-middle displacement, a high stability ratio and sleek bow lines to guarantee the best possible passage over the waves and comfortable sailing. The stern section is pointed, which is typical of the Volvo 70 and the new Vismara 46’ and 52’. The hull and deck are completely made in carbon, from male moulds. The deck plan is fully automated, with hydraulic control of the mainsheet, electrical retracting halyards, winches and electrical furlers. The particular feature of this design project is the mast placed directly on the deck; it rests on a special “arched” bulkhead carbon, without a mainstay below deck, which means it takes up none of the interior, which enjoys lots of space.

The layout and design of the interiors were developed in conjunction with the owner and conceived for a couple. The vessel has two large cabins and two bathrooms, with a symmetrical division of space. The style is very warm, with natural teak and composite material furnishings. The bow area has a bathroom and a double cabin with twin beds and double wardrobes. The dinette has two large “half-moon” sofas to seat a total of six. The galley has a sink, fridge and cook top. Opposite the galley is the course plotting table with lowered top for a laptop computer. Behind the course plotting area is a bathroom with double doors, which serves both the dinette as a guest bathroom and the master cabin.In the stern area is a large master cabin with double bed, and access through an area with wardrobe and opposite, the bathroom.

THE PROJECT IN THE FIELD OF OFFSHORE FAST CRUISING IS ANOTHER STEP FORWARD IN YACHT DESIGN SPECIALLY FOR THE RE CONCEPTUALIZATION OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL SPACES FROM THE STANDPOINT OF EASE OF OPERATION; THIS IS EASY SAILING.

Yacht is characterized by various distinct areas of development and design innovation: The hull is derived from the modern Volvo 70 ‘, which is characterized by a maximum width reduced by a medium/ light displacement, high stability ratio and fine lines at the bow to ensure the most comfortable pass on the waves and convenience of navigation. The innovative stern hull sections, with «edge plane», increase the dynamic waterline length, the directional stability and performance, including motor, reaching a cruising speed of 11 knots. Other special features are the construction which was built entirely in carbon fiber, the anchor system concealed under the hull, the stern garage with ample storage space and dinghy, the sunbathing area with a built-in gangway, and many other details to see onboard. the layout has been completely transformed in order to have larger space respect to the standard measure of a 60 feet yacht, Thanks to the repositioning of the service and seating areas, the modern «raised saloon» allows a full visibility outside when standing, while sitting the visibility is guaranteed by the windows. The kitchen area has been moved forward of the saloon, IN a lower part, to clearly define the separated functions of this environment while leaving an «open space» in the living room. it was developed on both sides with a central console, perfectly symmetrical, modern & practical. The central area of the boat is characterized by a module that includes a new generation of «telescopic» keel which allows the reduction of draft from 3.60 to 2.20 m while encumbering only 80 cm inside the boat. The central furniture was also integrated with the engine, in this way not only that it is far from the cabins there for quieter inside the cabins, but also offers the best concentration

of the weights. This module central furniture combined with engine has been architecturally transformed into a coffee/ kitchen table. all cabins have bathrooms moved in to the aft, and this provides a high livability in the cabin, allowing an access to both sides of the beds. the bathrooms in the stern increases the quietness and privacy, and creates a zone of division between the cabin and the aft locker where are machinery such as air conditioning, generator. While sleeping head to bow the feet are near the bathroom instead of near the head as normally occurs. Small details that can change everything.

OTHER DETAILS THAT MAKE THIS DESIGN SO CUTTING EDGE IS THE FACT IT IS BUILT ENTIRELY IN CARBON FIBRE, A RETRACTING ANCHOR THAT COMES OUT UNDER THE HULL,A LARGE STERN DOOR THROUGH TO THE TENDER COMPARTMENT, AND SUNBATHING AREA WITH INCORPORATED GANGWAY.

The boat features various distinct design and development areas: The hull, derived from the ultra-modern Volvo 70’ features a reduced maximum beam, medium/light displacement and a high stability ratio as well as fine lines at the bow to guarantee a more comfortable passage over the waves and total sailing comfort. The cutting-edge stern sections of the hull, complete with “planing edge,” increase the dynamic length at the water line, directional stability and performance, including from the engine, which reaches a cruising speed of 11 knots.

Interiors: the layout has been completely transformed to create roomier surroundings than normally found as standard on a craft of this size, thanks to the repositioning of the service areas and dinette: • the stern cabins have had the bathrooms moved to the far end of

the stern and this has made it possible to increase the entrance and living space in the cabins by a good deal, including access to the sides of the beds for their full length and to have much more room to move;

• the location of the bathrooms in the stern has also reduced noise, increased privacy and created a partition area between the cabin and the stern peak, where the machinery, such as the air conditioning and generator, is located, while putting the bathroom at the foot of the bed instead of near the head end as normally occurs;

• the dinette has been raised in the style of the modern “raised saloons” and allows full visibility outside when standing and while sitting, exterior visibility is guaranteed by the glass panels at the sides of the hull. The dinette has also been placed close to the entrance to create a whole interior/exterior out of the living space;

• the galley has been moved fore of the dinette, in a lowered setting to clearly delineate the independent service role of this area while still leaving it in an open space in the saloon. It has been extended over two sides with a central console and is perfectly symmetrical, like the most modern of kitchens, making it practical to use even when the boat is listing on either side.

THE DECK LAYOUT: to transform the interior layout, it was necessary to design a deckhouse/deck that not only would have an innovative design but with specific shape. Placing the bathrooms in the stern has forced the integration between the steering columns and the seats in the cockpit to create areas of the required height.The cockpit level/seating is very large so as to be able to include a table that retracts into the walking surface of the cockpit and also a self-inflating raft peak. The entrance has large sliding doors to make more access room and has glass panels overlooking the cockpit for more light inside. A large, retractable hood protects the cockpit/entrance area against harsh weather and has room for 4 people to stay sitting outside, completely protected. The lines and sail plan: for a sailing boat to be usable, it must be simple and automated. This has been made possible by systems already created on the new Vismara 42, 46 and 52, which have hydraulic controls for the main sheet, fully electric-powered retractable halyards, electric-powered winches and windlasses but above all a new winch layout, aft of the wheel station to allow the skipper to make manoeuvres such as turning, completely independent.

ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN: such an innovative project could only be redesigned from an aesthetic viewpoint. The deck and cockpit are faced in teak, the wheelhouse painted in light two-coloured metallic grey and the hull is painted in dark metallic grey. Classical materials and traditional colours have been left behind. All structural elements are made in composite and painted; the furniture has been built in bleached, oak ply panels and the different units are placed and applied to the composite with “jointed” supports so as to highlight the architectural divide between wood and composite material. The sides of the hull alongside the beds and behind the sofas in the dinette are faced in Titantex panels, as are the table and kitchen tops, while the interior upholstery is purple-red.

THE “OBI ONE” PROJECT SEES VISMARA WORKING IN CONJUNCTION WITH LE ROUGE, AND IT IS AN EVOLUTION OF THE WELL-KNOWN PETTER 55, FOR WHICH VISMARA TOOK CHARGE OF THE CREATION AT PETTER QUALITY YACHTS, MARSEILLE.

The new project and craft, designed and built to measure for an expert customer, who has played an active role in the choice of different technical and aesthetic solutions, is a perfect example of Vismara style, this time transferred to an ocean-going catamaran. Le Rouge was in charge of the hydrodynamics and structural works, while Vismara designed the interiors, the deck plan and the overall styling of the boat.The concept behind “Obi One” is very similar to that of Vismara’s monohulls. It is a fast sports cruiser with a vacuum glass, epoxy resin and airex sandwich hull with Kevlar reinforcements, while the beams subject to greatest stress are in carbon. The deck is ultra-modern, with a sleek deckhouse, featuring a large glazed part to the front and rear; the cockpit has a large living area and double helm at the sides.

INTERIORSInside, the furnishings are structural, since they are integrated into the structure of the boat. All of the panels on furniture units and floors are built in sandwich board with honeycomb core.The interior has 4 double cabins with two bathrooms, symmetrically positioned.The centre of the boat has a large saloon with big windows, plus a long, comfortable sofa, separated into dining and relaxation areas. The galley and chart area are opposite the sofa. Outside, aft, is the double helm and a sundeck. Columns, aerial masts and davits for the tender have all been specially designed and made in carbon.

CHARACTERISTICSThe sails and appendages have been developed from the very latest in modern ocean-going and racing catamarans and feature retracting drop keels, positioned so as not to get in the way of interior fittings. The masts are all in carbon and include a wing pivoting mast and large roached main as well as fore sail and code zero, just like on modern, fast-cruising maxi yachts, for the purpose of making manoeuvres easy with a smaller crew. The installations on board are state-of-the-art, with lithium batteries, computer control of power consumption and integrated navigation, monitoring and coms systems on LCD screens inside and out.

THIS PROJECT IS THE RESULT OF COLLABORATION WITH AN INTERIOR DESIGN COMPANY, CORRADO BEVACQUA’S COBEDESIGN STUDIO IN MONTECARLO. A SPECIAL BOAT HAS BEEN CREATED, NOT JUST FROM THE DESIGN POINT OF VIEW BUT ALSO IN TERMS OF EASY MANOEUVRING AND SAILING WITH A SMALLER CREW - EASY SAILING.The hull features medium/light displacement, a high stability ratio and slender bow design to guarantee the most comfortable passage over the waves as well as comfortable sailing. The evolutionary chine of the stern means increased length at the dynamic waterline, directional stability and top performance. It has a retracting keel with carbon fin and step and draft of 2.0 to 3.2 metres, operated by a hydraulic power unit. This type of keel makes use and mooring in the port much easier without compromising performance while sailing. If we want to talk about aesthetics, it does not invade the space inside completely, but rather, it occupies an area inside the dinette table. To be usable, a sail boat needs first and foremost to be simple and automated. This is possible thanks to the hydraulic main sheet control, concealed electrical halyards and electrical winches and windlasses.Among the many details of this project, we cannot fail to mention the concealed anchor that comes out under the hull. Styling, carried out in collaboration with Corrado Bevacqua’s CoBeDesign studio in Montecarlo, is rational and minimalist, guaranteeing and enhancing the high-tech feel of the whole vessel. The choice of materials and colours follow the same simple lines, for the utmost elegance, refinement and practical use. Interiors have been divided while looking at every tiny detail. In the bow section, the vessel has 1 bathroom, a double cabin with twin beds, double entrance and double wardrobes. The doors to this cabin convert to wardrobe doors, leaving a single passageway, open at all times during races, where it becomes the sail locker area. The dinette has two large sofas to seat 6. The galley area is comprised of sink, cook top and oven. Opposite, there is a course plotting table with tilting seat and top-opening fridge.In the stern section is the large master cabin with double bed, accessed through an area with a large wardrobe. Opposite is the bathroom, with a single converting furniture unit onto which the doors between the dinette and the bathroom and between the bathroom and the stern peak, open and lock together to form a seamless wall that creates a single space, the main area on the boat. This space serves three purposes: storage peak, thanks to a modular system of specially designed containers; storage for sails during races or, as needed, double cabin with foldaway bunks. The materials are all in line with the technological theme behind the whole project. The selected material is composite, with a sandwich structure, throughout the construction. The dunnages and some of the horizontal surfaces of the furnishings are treated with special materials to make them similar to treated metals. The interior is given a feel of movement using effects created with tone on tone matt and gloss paints. 113

THE FOURTH BALTIC 56 SEMI CUSTOM EXAMPLE WAS CREATED FOR AN ITALIAN OWNER. IT IS A CUTTING-EDGE CRAFT BECAUSE IT IS DESIGNED TO SAIL IN SOLITARY, WHERE EVERYTHING NOT IN USE NEEDS TO RETRACT AND WITHIN THE LIMITS OF POSSIBILITY, CONTROLLED ELECTRICALLY OR BY HYDRAULIC PUMPS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THIS MUST NOT AFFECT DISPLACEMENT.

The hull, deck and bulwarks have been made in carbon fibre and epoxy resin, vacuum laminated and post-cured for 12 hours at 60° with interior fittings made with sandwich structures to limit displacement to within the 14,000 kg envisaged. To make solitary sailing easier with a boat of this size, an automated system has been devised with hydraulic furling mainsail, automatic main halyard on captive winch, furling jib, fore sail and code zero. The jib and main sheets are adjusted by magic trim, while the stern door and anchor arm are hydraulically controlled. The bimini top, powered by gas pistons, retracts into the back of the cockpit, while the electrical, remote-controlled gangway and splash hood are also retractable. The interiors are laid out as follows: from stern to bow, with 2 double symmetrical cabins, each with bath, a roomy dinette and course plotting area amidships, while the galley is in a dedicated area; continuing fore, there is a large master cabin, like a suite, with bathroom. At the end of the bow is the crew cabin with bathroom and at the far end of the stern is a garage with electrically propelled tender. The tender is stored via electric winch with remote control.

The keel, differently from the previous Baltic 56, retracts with a minimum displacement of 2.4 m and a maximum of 3.60 m. The mast and boom are in carbon, while the two wheels are titanium. An integrated module serves for the air conditioning, water maker and 24 Volt generator. The navigation and domotic control system is controlled by a computer station in the course plotting area and from two external screens in the columns through which it is possible to control all of the machinery on board without leaving the helm. The engine is a Yanmar 130 Hp diesel with 3-blade prop; thrusters have been fitted bow and stern to guarantee maximum manoeuvrability in port.

THE BALTIC 61 IS PART OF THE SEMICUSTOM LINE FROM BALTIC YACHTS. IT IS A COMFORTABLE CRUISING YACHT THAT DOESN’T MIND A LITTLE SPEED WITHOUT ANY TONNAGE LIMITS, AS REQUIRED BY THE OWNER. ALTHOUGH IT IS BASED ON THE BALTIC 60, THE HULL HAS BEEN STUDIED TO OPTIMISE SPEED, WHILE THE KEEL, WITH TORPEDO BULB, MAKES THE VESSEL EXTREMELY STABLE.

Hull and deck are in carbon/epoxy/corecell composite. The vacuum laminates are post-cured at 70° for at least 16 hours. The carbon sandwich interiors are finished in teak. The deck layout includes a cockpit: proceeding from stern to bow there are two double, symmetrical cabins for the area. Amidships are the stairs to the engine room. To the sides, on one part are the course plotting area and the dinette and, on the opposite side, the galley, followed by a large owner’s cabin connected to the bathroom with shower. At the far end of the bow is the crew bathroom. The sail plan is rather powerful and includes a mainsail and genoa that can be furled away. The retractable anchor is amongst one of the most innovative, and the keel blade ends in a torpedo shape. As far as transmission is concerned, equally innovative solutions have been studied; the 150 Hp power installed thanks to a cutting-edge driver will mean there is no need to use a prop axle. The power genset will be a 24V model able to charge gel batteries directly and supply the air conditioning system. The 220 V power will be produced by an inverter.

The design is by Vrolijk/ Vismara/ R& J Design.

THE BALTIC 56 IS THE NEW ENTRY LEVEL FROM THE 2003 HALF SERIES BY BALTIC YACHTS. IT IS BASED ON AND DEVELOPS THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION CONCEPT FIRST USED ON THE BALTIC 50 AND 79, FOR NEW FAST CRUISING CRAFT INSPIRED BY MODERN OCEAN CRUISERS AND ABLE TO COMBINE ULTRA-MODERN DESIGNS AND HYDRODYNAMICS WITH MEDIUM AND NOT EXTREME DISPLACEMENT, FOR CRUISING USE WITH VARIABLE LOADS.In fact, the Baltic 56 is a craft intended for sports cruising with no limits concerning navigation length and it is suitable above all for family use, which means it has all the conveniences and great autonomy plus a design that makes safe maneuvers easy, with a smaller crew and in all sea and wind conditions. The hull is in composite sandwich material with glass fibers, laminated with epoxy and with carbon anti-collision reinforcements. The deck is made entirely in carbon and divided into two cockpits to create a guest area that is independent of the rig area. The rig is all concealed below deck as well as being extremely simplified so that with the aid of electric winches, it can be managed by just 2 people. Cruising

requirements mean that a mobile keel has been fitted to reduce draft and make it easier to approach the shore or to moor in port. The resulting keel range also has the benefit of making it possible to lighten the bulb while still increasing stability and therefore, cruise comfort. When it comes to style, many of the design features have been taken from the Baltic 79 Vismara/Vrolijk. In fact what stands out on both is their “family style,” the bundle of functional-esthetic solutions that invite extended use of the boat and all of the areas on board, inside and out, during navigation, while moored and even in port. The Baltic 56 has a short deckhouse with glazed front and a slightly raised lounge for viewing the exterior; the master cabin has been placed in the bow for greater silence when the boat is moored; there is ample storage space for the dinghy in the stern garage in the event of fast journeys, and the anchor is maneuvered easily thanks to a concealed system in the bow, which uses a pneumatic piston. The interiors enhance the high level of Baltic’s traditional woodwork and finishes but in a modern and linear setting.

THIS PROJECT IS BASED ON THE V.46 2005 DESIGN AND IT IS AN EVOLUTION OF THE VISMARA 46 “BELLADONNA “ AND “DRAGON“ – THE NEW IRC FOR RACING/CRUISING USE.

In particular, Vismara has developed different types of hull, appendage and sail plan, and worked on the construction systems, layout of the interiors, weight distribution, deck geometries and the overall conceptualisation of the project and of the necessary optimisation for racing in our area. From a design viewpoint, the boat is very specific and it is completely different from IMS craft or from the boats typically built by X Yachts/ Grand Soleil: • the hull has a far more powerful stern profile - featuring projections and edges similar to those of the modern Volvo 70 craft - which increase dynamic waterline length; • higher sides on the water, fore and aft, for IRC minimum measurement of dynamic waterline length; • the sail plan has a notable surface area, totalling 115 sq m; • craft stability is very high, with a 3600 kg blade keel without torpedo-shaped bulb to reduce wetted surface and lurching; • the construction is in state-of-the-art composites with unidirectional glass and carbon, vacuum laminated with epoxy resin to guarantee maximum lightness and weight concentration.

INTERIORSHowever, this craft was not designed with just racing in mind, but, interpreting I.R.C. regulations and philosophy, it has been fitted out with 3 comfortable cabins, two of which are double, in the stern, with a shared bathroom in the centre, under the entrance and a large master cabin with twin beds and a bathroom in the bow. The layout is in the typically symmetrical style of Vismara and has doors and convertible compartments for totally open interior spaces, creating a genuine “Loft“. The styling of the high-tech fittings, made in painted composites, includes areas with exposed carbon and coloured plastics in such a way that structural elements are divided from fittings while keeping all furnishings with a structural function self-supporting to achieve the maximum lightness and rigidity in the hull. The graphics and colours of this craft are the work of architect, Guido Spadolini, who is also the owner.

THIS CRAFT IS AN EVOLUTION OF THE VISMARA 78S, GHIBELLINA AND MALAFEMMENA, FROM WHICH IT TAKES ITS HIGH-LEVEL TECHNICAL CONTENT AND SIMPLE FORMS. HOWEVER, IT HAS A MORE EVIDENT SPORTING VOCATION, WHICH MEANT THAT VISMARA YACHT DESIGN HAD TO ACHIEVE AN EVEN MORE SOPHISTICATED LEVEL OF DESIGN, AIMED AT REACHING TOP-LEVEL PERFORMANCE.A good deal of the design has been influenced by the experience of predecessors Superbaltic 78 and Baltic 87 Deck House, the first characterised by its hi-tech content with an eye to achieving maximum performance and the second by technical solutions aimed at achieving sailing comfort. The composite material construction, with hull in carbon and glass and deck covered entirely in carbon, allows a notable saving in weight terms and even better performance, with speeds of up to 12 knots under motor power, but also increased reliability, durability and easy repairs. The retractable fin keel, with lock pistons for its positions, means draught can be reduced from 4.20 to 2.70 m, while the water tanks (3,000 litres) and fuel tanks (2,000 litres) offer wide margins of autonomy for long-range use.The deck features a very short deckhouse ending aft of the mast to leave the bridge free. Comfortable living space on deck is also assured by a large cockpit for guests and sunbathing area.The anchor system is on the cutting edge, with the anchor retracting into the bow without retracting arms and without any obstruction on deck. The stern opens to provide garage space for the 4.2 metre tender. The interiors have been designed to create comfortable areas, guaranteeing privacy between the crew, service and navigation areas and those reserved to the owner and guests.

The “crew mess” is located in the stern, where it has an independent entrance, and the galley is separate from the dinette. The engine room, amidships, contains all of the systems and machinery to allow for easy inspection and also includes laundry room and larder with cold room. The area for the boat’s owner and guests extends towards the bow, along a passageway to 3 cabins with twin bedsThe dinette is very large and raised to offer better visibility from the wheelhouse as well as being particularly light, thanks to the 180° side windows in tempered plate glass. The sail plan includes a cutting-edge canoe boom which, compared to the “Park Avenue” is better able to store the Mainsail and simplify sail management for the crew. There are no running backstays and the spreaders are angled, while the Genoa has no overlap and the use of a Gennaker is envisaged. “Lady G” also has air conditioning, water maker and bow thruster.

THIS VESSEL IS THE RESULT OF VISMARA WORKING TOGETHER WITH BRUCE FARR YACHT DESIGN – A NEW 46’ DESIGN PROJECT, OPTIMISED ACCORDING TO I.R.C. REGULATIONS, FOR RACING/CRUISING USE.

This is the first design project for a class IRC vessel to have undergone a significant period of research to optimise performance compared to rating, and this is why the two firms carried out in-depth analysis of the different boats currently racing in IRC, studying their characteristics. In particular, Farr Design developed the different types of hull and appendages and the sail plans, while Vismara worked on the construction systems, interior layouts, weight distribution and deck geometry, as well as the overall conceptualisation of the project and its optimisation for racing in our waters. From a design point of view, the new boat is very particular and certainly very different to the IMS craft and typical X Yachts/ Grand Soleil boats: • the hull lines are far more powerful aft and the sides are higher

on the water for a more dynamic waterline length; • the sail plan is worthy of note, with its total sail surface area of

126 sq m; • the vessel has a very high stability, with a keel of 4800 kg; • the constructions is in cutting-edge composite materials with

unidirectional glass fibres and carbon, vacuum-laminated with epoxy resin for maximum lightness and weight concentration.

INTERIORSThis is not purely a racing craft, however; interpreting I.R.C. rules and philosophy, it has been fitted out with 3 comfortable twin-bed cabins and a bathroom in the bow (second bathroom available, if required), with a typically symmetrical layout and convertible areas to open out the interior fully, like a “Loft“, but which can close to offer perfect privacy when cruising. The furnishings are styled in typical Vismara craft fashion – very warm but extremely modern, mixing parts in Tanganyika sandwich board and parts in painted composites (hull and bulkheads) to divide the structural elements in style terms from the furnishing ones, while keeping all structural furnishings self-supporting to achieve maximum light weight and hull rigidity.

The idea of optimising performance racing or cruising is at the base of this project which has been studied in conjunction with the owner and the crew. The fundamental factor is being able to use this type of vessel in line with IMS regulations. According to R.Vrolijk, this craft represents another challenge, as this 60-feet one-off wants to participate in races with both IMS and IRC regulations. This boat too will strongly feature the high quality of the Finnish boatyard, which will guarantee the necessary light weight in competition. It represents another stage in the evolution of famous craft such as “Innovision”, “Banco Espiritu Santo”, “Bribon 2004”.The hull has a high length/beam ratio, for low resistance when sailing close hauled, without flattening too much at the sides, as happens on new IMS racing craft. Average displacement in IMS trim, with some 17000 kg will guarantee optimum, comfortable sailing, close hauled. The hull has a long bow to be able to exploit its maximum waterline length.

The sail plan is slightly fractional and this layout, with a jib at 110%, will make the boat extremely competitive in races, both with IMS and IRC regulations. The idea of using angled spreaders without backstay will further improve sailing close hauled. The sail surface is large and suitable for the light wind that is typical of the Mediterranean. The interiors are comfortable for cruising but the use of high-tech materials makes this a lightweight and therefore, competitive vessel.The boom and mast are in carbon; the rudder bar is by Navtec as are the hydraulics. The 30 kg Claw anchor is made by Lewmar, while the main and secondary winches are made by Harken.

INSTRUMENTSAs far as systems are concerned, the Baltic 60 is equipped with a group of next-generation gel batteries (24 V DC 1000 AH E for services and 12VDC 55 AH for ignition). Some equipment, such as the air conditioning, anchor windlass and water maker will be installed in such a way as to make them removable when the boat is racing. High-level technology can be seen in the use of carbon fibre laminates, pre-impregnated with epoxy resins on a core of Corecell

and Nomex for the hull and deck, as well as for the structural bulkheads.The vacuum laminates are post-cured at 50° for at least 16 hours. As far as concerns the electronics, these will include B&G instrumentation, ultrasonic speedometer, onboard computer, wireless touch screen for races, mini coms satellite, GSM telephone, VHF radio, radio with CD, and 20” flat screen TV.Autonomy is guaranteed by a 600 litre water tank and a 400 litre fuel tank. The boat will be powered by a Yanmar75 Hp diesel engine with two-fin prop for racing and four fin prop when cruising.

BALTIC 66 IS PART OF A LINE OF SEMI CUSTOM, HIGH-TECH CRAFT DESTINED TO DOMINATE THE FAST CRUISER SCENE OVER THE COMING YEARS.The B66 is suitable for family cruising and at the same time, it offers great competitive ability; like many recent projects, it is a state-of-the-art craft that will offer matchless performance. If the standard model envisaged construction of the hull and deck in cutting-edge composites, using sandwich laminates on an epoxy matrix, for this model, technology has gone even further, using a special, advanced press for all lamination work. The bulkheads and panels of the structural interiors will be built using this press, with sandwich laminates veneered with wood. This type of production means a significant reduction in weight compared to the classical method. Baltic Yachts is the only boatyard to use this technique. There will be an increase in draught from 3.6 to 3.8 m, which means that the keel bulb can be made lighter but at the same time, stability will be increased.As far as the interior layout and style are concerned, the owner has opted for a modern, clean-cut look with painted panels in place of wood. This choice has also meant a reduction in weight, so the boat offers even better performance. From an aesthetic viewpoint, the interiors are linear, modern and show great taste. The craft was built “to size” and is suitable for the weather conditions in the Mediterranean. R. Vrolijk, decided to increase sail area which, in addition to the light displacement and greater stability, will add to the boat’s performance, above all in light wind conditions. The project is a result of the combined skills of Vismara Yacht Design, Ciappini interiors and R&J Design.

AS IN THE PAST FOR “ALLIGATOR” VISMARA/FARR 65’,FOR “CASUARINA CROW” THE STUDIO INTERVENED WITH THE DESIGN OF INTERIORS, DECK, SAIL PLAN AND APPENDAGES ON A HULL DESIGNED BY WORLD-FAMOUS NAME, ROLF VROLIJK.

Considering the owner’s need to use the vessel for cruising, including ocean-going cruising, but with a reduced crew, Vismara opted for a sail plan and deck layout especially for easy sailing. The chain-plates, therefore, have been moved to the sides so as to increase the angle of the spreaders, which avoids the use of handwheels; the sail plan has thus been modified in favour of a larger mainsail surface compared to the genoa, with low overlap, and the appendages have been redesigned to optimise the hydrodynamic profiles and at the same time, reduce draft. The boat’s easy manoeuvrability is further ensured by simplified lines, led through to the cockpit. The interiors, as requested by the owner, place great emphasis on the master cabin, located in the bow, and on the dinette. The stern contains two guest cabins, plus a crew cabin that also serves as a sail locker.

THE VISMARA 42’ HAS TAKEN THE DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY OF THE VISMARA 45’ AND 50’ FAST CRUISER DESIGNS AND MADE THEM ITS OWN, TOGETHER WITH THE TOP PERFORMANCE OF A DESIGN PROJECT SUCH AS THE QQ7, VISMARA 42’, FROM WHICH IT TAKES THE HULL FORM AND DECK.The hull has been optimised to fall in with the latest trends, meaning comfort and performance. Stern exits are tight and low on the water, in expectation of planing speeds, even when sailing under engine power. The gentle passage over the waves is guaranteed by slimmer bow sections and a maximum beam that has been set further back. Unidirectional E glass fabrics and epoxy resins have been used in the construction, with carbon reinforcements for floors and halyards, vacuum impregnated at 0.65 atm and post-cured at 60 degrees for 12 hours on male moulds. The sail plan is next-generation with generously sized mainsail and jib at 110%, code 0 and gennaker. The theme of the project is the concept of “fast and easy sailing”, leading to a deck plan which is extremely “clean“ and simple, where all of the rig runs under the deck inside ducting, sunk into the sandwich board, and is sent to the stern to the only two electrical winches near the helm station. In fact, from this position it is possible to manoeuvre the halyards and the genoa sheet, while the mainsail, which is fixed tack, is adjusted via a “Magic Trim” situated inside the boom. The deck, which has flush deck hatches, has an open stern and double helm with fully integrated columns in composite material. While underway, the carbon gangway is installed in the stern as a bench for the helmsman. The system used for the anchor, which comes out under the hull, is an evolution of the systems already in used on the Vismara 78’ and Baltic 66’, but optimised for smaller craft, with greater reliability and simpler use. The wooden furniture units, with no raised cornices have been fitted to the composite with “joint” supports in order to highlight the difference between the structure in composite and the furnishing elements. The styling of the cabinetry and the accessories is linear and modern. The layout includes a master cabin, aft, with bathroom, a dinette amidships, and a galley and course plotting area that are both linear and symmetrical. The engine room is large and easily inspected; it is situated amidships and has excellent soundproofing. The master cabin is in the bow, which also houses a large sail locker containing the anchor system.

MANIDA IS BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE OF THE “ASELL”, BUT IT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT AND MAKES BETTER USE OF THE NEW IMS 2003 REGULATIONS. THE HULL OF THE NEW VISMARA 34 IMS HAS A MORE POWERFUL-LOOKING STERN PROFILE.

The construction is in glass composite material with epoxy resin and a core in termanto, but compared to the “Asell”, the displacement is heavier and the weight is more concentrated amidships. Deck geometry is linear and simple, but with the same ergonomic concepts of the Vismara 34 of 2002, the inspiration behind the even more comfy cockpit, from which one enters on board through a lower and more comfortable entrance. This careful study of more versatile use of craft is also to be seen on “Ababai,” which has also been designed for sports cruising use.In fact, although the interiors are basic, they are carefully designed and also comfortable and well equipped. The layout includes a central open space, bordered by a cabin aft and one fore, with a bathroom, but the design solutions used aim to have convertible spaces, which become multipurpose for the creation of larger spaces for different uses, as required. This is the same on board the “Asell,” for example, where we find a system of bathroom doors that can be used to turn the bathroom into a handy passageway. The sail plan is representative of the latest aerodynamic concepts and therefore, has a large mainsail and a small jib plus a mast without backstay and with spreaders angled at 30°.

DEVELOPED WITH THE COSSUTTI STUDIO AND THE ICAD RESEARCH CONSORTIUM, “BELLADONNA“ IS THE SUM OF YEARS OF WORK AND RESEARCH IN THE TOP-LEVEL RACER SECTION, INCLUDING QUERIDA, MONAMI, AND QQ7. IT ALSO BRINGS TOGETHER THE MANY STUDIES AND IMS OPTIMISATIONS CARRIED OUT BY THE COSSUTTI STUDIO ON WINNING CRAFT.

The project continues along the lines drawn out with the range of Vismara 40 IMS racer-cruisers: a philosophy that seeks the maximum competitiveness for racing and exploitation of IMS regulations, on craft with a sporting-cruising future. The project therefore followed two lines of development, almost as if dealing with two separate boats: hydrodynamic research and optimised rating parameters, as for a pure racer and the integration of structures/furnishings to be able to create a roomy, comfortable interior without any adverse effect on weight. The hull lines are the state-of-the-art for IMS 2004 regulations, with high rakes on the water, deep U sections, vertical sides and buttocks with very tight diagonals. The classical setup for the current IMS is completed by: the sail plan with low overlap jib, a very large mainsail, high extending appendages without end bulb and a high concentration of weights with the ballast sunken in the bilge. The ICAD consortium’s contribution, using the powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software available, has allowed us to improve hull line analysis, considering the “free surface” effect which is not taken into account by either VPP or IMS software. The appendages too have been logically studied using CFD to develop aerofoils that, to win this rating, have a greater wetted surface but which, create less resistance to forward movement, thanks to

laminar flow. The necessary integration of structure and fittings, plus the desire to create an elegant style both on deck and for the interiors, are based on the brand new Vismara 45’ Open “Margherita“.

INTERIORSThe interiors are perfectly symmetrical, with two cabins in the stern and a central bathroom that is fully integrated into the module containing the engine room and the entrance stairway, thereby providing maximum weight concentration.The bulwark galley and course plotting table area are opposite one another.There is a large dinette with central table and fore, a sail locker with 2 additional berths. A specific feature of the design is the fact that even interior areas can be converted, given the wardrobe closure system, which become doors for the cabins, fore and aft, making it possible to create open-plan areas that work to the benefit of sail-change operations during races and to restore the partitions and space divisions while cruising. The structural function of the furnishing has logically led to the use of compounds with a stylish quality and therefore, many parts of the boat have been left in exposed carbon, while the rest has been carefully painted with special thickness paints. A great deal of care and attention has gone into graphics and the styling of all details to keep the “family feeling” with other projects and continuing in this way, to create a small series.

GANZURIA IS A PROJECT DEVELOPED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE COSSUTTI YACHT DESIGN FIRM. IT WAS CREATED IN THE WAKE OF THE SUCCESS ACHIEVED, IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, BY “FAST CRUISERS,” WITH THEIR EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE, EYE-CATCHING STYLE WITH NONE OF THE EXTREME CONSTRAINTS IMPOSED BY IMS RATING AND ON AVERAGE, LONGER THAN 43 FEET. WITH GANZURIA 34’, IT HAS BEEN POSSIBLE TO TRANSFER THESE DESIGN PREROGATIVES TO A SMALLER (AND CHEAPER) CRAFT.

The essential lines of the project are for a hull with a bold yet balanced design and a planing but “soft” bottom that will not suffer problems of being bow heavy when sailing close to the wind, as often happens to boats with unbalanced volumes. Depending on use or personal preferences and budget, there are three different types using glass, carbon or pre-impregnated carbon, always with epoxy resin and over a core in differentiated density PVC, obviously vacuum applied and oven baked. The sail plan offers a choice of carbon mast with two angled spreaders in the bulwark without backstays but with just two small and non-structural flying rigs, which are useful when using “code zero” drifters or asymmetrical gennaker on the

masthead, with bow tack or bowsprit. The 28° angled spreaders mean it is possible to fit jibs for up to 120% cover, making the most of the advantages of smaller bow sails without the disadvantages of jibs at 100% in IMS style, which are so critical to use in light wind conditions. The alternative is a wing mast with a large bulwark spreader, for ultra-efficiency in aerodynamic terms, developed on boats from 22 to 70 feet (Cometa, Beauceant, Vismara 70’).

The interiors envisage just one double cabin in the bow; the bunks under the cockpit, which are comfortable when the boat is moored, have been designed for use even under sail, even with the boat listing, as are the two convertible berths in the dinette. The choice not to use a double cabin under the cockpit has left room to store a self-inflating raft that can be accessed from the cockpit. A large bathroom and linear galley take up the back part of the deckhouse, to the sides of the entrance. The composite interiors are painted in customised colours, leaving some parts in carbon/kevlar exposed. Another interesting feature, above all for the Adriatic, is the possibility for the hydraulic moving centreboard, with draft of 2.70-1.50m, as an alternative to the fixed keel with 2.10 special steel blade and appendages optimised using ICAD.

VISMARA 34’ IS A PROJECT DEVELOPED TOGETHER WITH THE COSSUTTI YACHT DESIGN FIRM. IT WAS CREATED IN THE WAKE OF THE SUCCESS ACHIEVED, IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, BY “FAST CRUISERS,” WITH THEIR EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE, EYE-CATCHING STYLE WITH NONE OF THE EXTREME CONSTRAINTS IMPOSED BY IMS RATING AND ON AVERAGE, LONGER THAN 43 FEET. WITH THE VISMARA 34’, IT HAS BEEN POSSIBLE TO TRANSFER THESE DESIGN PREROGATIVES TO A SMALLER CRAFT.The essential lines of the project are for a hull with a bold line with reduced sides and medium freeboard to increase the volume inside as well as seaworthiness, with a displacement of approx. 2600 kg; a planing but “soft” hull. Constructed in glass, carbon, and an epoxy resin matrix on a PVC core with differentiated densities, post-cured in a vacuum at 0.65 Atm at 60°C on male moulds. The sail plan features a carbon mast with two angled spreaders in the bulwark without backstays but with just two small and non-structural flying rigs, which are useful when using “code zero” drifters or asymmetrical gennaker on the masthead, with bow tack or bowsprit. The 28° angled spreaders mean it is possible to fit jibs for up to 120% cover, making the most of the advantages of smaller bow sails without the disadvantages of jibs at 100% in IMS style, which are so critical to use in light wind conditions. The design is decidedly orientated towards integrating the structure and the architecture, where forms are dictated by function and the composite materials used are truly state-of-the art.

INTERIORSThe simple, yet functional interiors have one double cabin in the bow; the bunks under the cockpit, which are comfortable when the boat is moored, have been designed for use even under sail and even with the boat listing, as are the two convertible berths in the dinette. The choice not to use a double cabin under the cockpit has left room to store a self-inflating raft that can be accessed from the cockpit. A large bathroom and linear galley take up the back part of the deckhouse, to the sides of the entrance.The space is characterised by the possibility to create an open space area that can be converted thanks to the dual function of the furniture unit doors, which open up to become room doors.The geometry of the deck is linear and simple.

VISMARA 46’ IS A DESIGN ORIGINATING FROM THE EXPERIENCE GAINED FROM DESIGNING AND BUILDING THE 45’MINISERIES, TAKING IT FURTHER INTO THE REALMS OF “FAST AND EASY SAILING”, THE MAIN THEME OF THE PROJECT.

The hull lines follow the very latest trends, seeking comfort and performance and featuring a rather limited maximum beam with a high “U” section, a significant “knee” under the water line and rather vertical topsides. This all works to create a symmetrical hull while the boat is listing and great stability in terms of form. The buttocks are very tight and low on the water to anticipate planing speed, even when under motor power. A soft passage over the waves is guaranteed by a sleek bow sections and a set back maximum beam. The sail plan features a carbon mast with winged section, set on the deck with a 9/10 slightly fractional rig, and spreaders angled at 25°. The furled mainsail is housed in a lazy-bag, located inside the boom. The bow triangle is comprised of a 110 % genoa and a large gennaker, 160 sq m. This type of rig offers excellent efficiency and performance, simple manoeuvres and the possibility of a reduced crew for easier cruising use. The deck layout is extremely “clean” and simple: all of the lines run under deck inside pipes sunken into the sandwich structure and are then led to the stern, to the only two electrical winches close to the helm. In fact, from this position it is possible to manoeuvre the halyards and genoa sheet, while the mainsail sheet, with fixed point, is adjusted by means of a “Magic Trim”. The deck has flush-deck hatches, an open stern and dual helm with integrated composite columns. While at sea, the carbon gangway is installed aft, as a bench for the skipper. The system for the anchor, which comes out under the hull, is a further evolution of the systems already used on the Vismara 78’ and Baltic 66’, but optimised for smaller craft, with greater reliability and easier use. The need to integrate fittings and structure, together with that for a refined, elegant and modern style both above and below deck, has led to research into the use of materials and colours that will create a warm, welcoming feel in an atmosphere created using composite materials, inspired by regatta vessels. The furniture units made in painted composite materials are applied with “jointed” supports; the difference between the structure of the boat and the furnishings is highlighted with different colours. The interiors are perfectly symmetrical, with 2 stern cabins, each with a small bathroom. Amidships is the module for the engine room / entrance steps, for maximum concentration of weight, the galley – course plotting area – dinette are also symmetrical and linear, while in the bow is a master cabin with bathroom. The boat is built in GRP composite, vacuum impregnated with epoxy resins and baked at 65°.

The boat is a development of the now famous 78’ “Ghibellina”, from which it takes its high-tech content and simple forms. This vessel, however, has a markedly more sporting vocation, which required Vismara to achieve an even more sophisticated level of design for the purposes of achieving higher performance levels. Compared to the number 1, then, the Valdettaro 78 Performance Cruiser is lighter, more stable and has longer, more efficient appendages that have made way for a more generously sized sail plan. Vismara’s design philosophy, which has always been orientated towards dual-purpose use of composite materials - both for construction and fittings and fixtures – most definitely comes to the fore in this project, too.

DESIGNThe hull, deck, and structural bulkheads are in fact made in composite material, using unidirectional carbon fibre, pre-impregnated and post-cured in a vacuum at 90°, and carbon, which remains exposed on the sides of the interiors, while the bulkheads are painted with an eye-catching purple-red that contrasts with the pale, bleached teak of the furniture. The interiors, created in conjunction with Lapo Ruffi, are more symmetrical, especially in the bow, which houses the master cabin with twin beds instead of a double bed against the bulwark. Continuing towards the stern, there are two twin guest cabins, each with bathroom and amidships is a roomy dinette. The stern is dedicated to the galley, set out in a separate area and on the port side, the crew cabin. This new layout also favours a lower freeboard which, from a design viewpoint, allows the boat to achieve better performance as well as offering a sleeker aesthetic. The simplicity and clean-cut look of the deck on Ghibellina has been the starting point for and the inspiration behind the new Valdettaro 78, which has a decidedly more minimalist feel. The rig is

further simplified with the use of 3 captive winches to control the mainsail and the turning of the genoa and these are located in the engine room, like the ones used on the latest technological craft, the Baltic 147. There are just two winches at the far end of the stern for the halyards and the gennaker. The deck plan is flush deck with a large cockpit complete with two carbon wheels and divided into a work area, aft and a living area, fore. The companions and all of the hardware are custom build and concealed. A large sail locker is situated in the far end of the bow. The anchor system, which is under the hull, is an evolution of a system already in use by other boatyards, but improved and optimised to offer greater reliability.

THE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN VISMARA AND AUCKLAND MARTEN YACHTS IS BEHIND THE CREATION OF THE VISMARA 65’ OCEAN FAST CRUISER. THE VISMARA 65 IS A HIGHLY RESEARCHED, TECHNOLOGICAL AND STYLISH CRAFT WITH WHICH VISMARA HAS HIGHLIGHTED THE VALUE OF THE TERM FAST CRUISER: A COMBINATION OF TOP PERFORMANCE AND GREAT COMFORT.This craft is difficult to place in a pre-established category and it is easier to imagine that it will be the first in a family of sail-powered Yachts: the Ocean Fast Cruiser. The design is immediately interesting in terms of the materials used: hull and deck in pre-impregnated carbon fibre over a core in Nomex with different densities and thicknesses, and they will undergo a vacuum compacting process and curing at 80° centigrade to guarantee maximum mechanical performance from the hull. The interior structures will also be made in vacuum-treated carbon. However, the composite material is also part of the furnishings; in fact, to guarantee a lower overall weight and maximum strength, many of the furnishing items, such as the front panels of the furniture units, tops on benches and internal shelving will be made in pre-impregnated carbon over a Nomex core and laminated to the hull as internal ribbing. To save on weight and without adversely affecting the structure of the vessel, which will need to deal with all weather conditions, a “Finite Elements” analysis has been made to provide a detailed view of the areas most under stress from keel, mast and halyard loads, and to use the correct amount of materials, without excesses or shadow zones.

DESIGNThe interior design envisages composite material furnishings veneered in fine woods and solutions to guarantee the maximum comfort on board. Inside, starting from the bow: a roomy sail locker with two foldaway beds; two guest cabins, opposite one another, each with private bathroom. Amidships, there is a truly spacious dinette, the true heart of the boat, which also houses the master galley. The master cabin is in the widest section of the boat, with one bed on each side, separated by a study area, as chosen by the owner, and a private bathroom. Proceeding towards the stern, we find the crew quarters, which are completely independent from the rest of the interior to make life on board easier, as well as watch duty while sailing. The crew quarters include a galley and bathroom. At the end of the stern, a garage guarantees excellent storage space as well as enough room for a tender. The deck plan reflects the style of Studio Vismara, with a low, comfortable deckhouse, wide walkways and a handy cockpit for manoeuvres, equipped with double wheel. There is a living area cockpit amidships in which to enjoy sailing in total relaxation. The deck surface will be faced in teak. The performance of this craft is guaranteed by carefully optimised hull and appendage lines, designed to get the very best of sail power. The sail plan is one of the greatest innovations on a craft of this type: a rotating wing mast in carbon fibre, the result of collaboration between the design studios involved in the project.

A whole lot of new technical and design features have come from the very latest Fast Cruisers, the Vismara 45’ and Vismara/Farr 65’ “MisterA”. The deck plan has in fact been made extremely simple, with just 4 winches aft and under-deck lines, piped and organized with stoppers, aft. The cockpit is open and has two steering wheels, which emphasises the sporting feel of the design. Typical VYD solutions, such as the gangway also serving as a bench for the person at the helm and therefore stored when not in used, and the system of setting the so it is recessed in a box in the bow, which is taken out by telescopic and pneumatic boom, showing only the anchor flukes when idle.

INTERIORSThe interiors include 3 cabins and 2 bathrooms and are made in traditional wood. There is a large, practical sail locker, fore. The considerable sail area is comprised, according to the very latest criteria, of a large mainsail, jib at 110% and a Gennaker. The keel and helm have been designed following IMS parameters. The overall styling is typical of the “Family line” boatyard, with rounded edges and side portholes. The hull and deck have a GRP and Kevlar sandwich construction on a termanto core, bonded with vinylester resins.

On the Vismara 54.02, construction technology and materials guarantee reliability, excellent seaworthiness and easy manoeuvring as well as light weight, a synonym of safety and performance. The hull and deck are in carbon fibre and epoxy resin, vacuum laminated and post-cured for 12 hours at 60°, for a displacement in IMS trim of some 12,000 kg. The mast, boom and structural chain-plates in carbon. Manoeuvres are made easier with in-boom reefing.The deck, in vacuum-laid teak, stands out for the open stern and double helm, with integrated columns in composite material. The clean-cut style of the deck is extreme: all lines are sunken and servo-assisted by 4 electrical winches in the cockpit; the hatch covers are flush deck. The transom opens to allow the storage of a tender; the sliding gangway, which is in carbon, is integrated into the section left of the transom. The compartment opposite the gangway is used to house the showerhead and the shore power socket (220V). The carbon anchor arm tilts back into the bow locker. All of the composite structural elements, deck, hull and bulkheads have been painted using epoxy fillers and polyurethane paints. The Douglas fir furnishings, with their linear forms and lack of raised cornices have been faced and applied to composite with “jointed” supports, for the purpose of highlighting the difference between the composite structures and the furnishings. The free areas of the carbon sides are left exposed behind the sofas in the dinette and in the cabins.

The interior layout includes a sail locker, fore, a master cabin with bathroom and shower, separated by a glass door, two guest cabins with shared bathroom in the middle, a large dinette opposite the amidships area as well as light and airy thanks to the large, vacuum-glued windows in Lexan. The galley and the course plotting area are on the port and starboard sides, respectively; the galley is faced in steel, as befits the concept of a boat featuring clean-cut lines but with a sporting and practical feel. The electrical installations are certainly a point of pride for the Vismara 55, which has a group of next-generation gel batteries (600 Amps for services and 100 to start the engines).

EQUIPMENTThe equipment includes: generator, water maker, fridge, and air conditioning and heating. Autonomy is guaranteed by 2 large-capacity water tanks (350 litres each) plus 2 fuel tanks (500 litres overall) plus a black water holding tank of approximately 200 litres. It also has a “Logmaster” system, controlled by two external video cameras on the columns and a computer station in the course plotting area. The PC can be used to control a whole series of functions, directly from the screen, without having to move away from the helm; these include winches, anchor windlass, charts and monitoring of all on-board equipment.

Systems and installations are definitely a point of pride on the Vismara 54, which is equipped with a very powerful set of next-generation gel batteries (600 Amp for services and 100 for engine ignition), which meets all of the power needs on board. The generator is in fact only used as means of charging the batteries, if needed. The boat has a complete range of equipment, in view of the schedule of long-range sailing, and it includes heating, water maker, washing machine, macerator, fridge and freezer. Autonomy is also ensured by the large capacity of 2 water tanks (each one 350 litres) and 2 fuel tanks for a total of 500 litres.

The hull and deck are in carbon fibre, pre-impregnated with epoxy resin and vacuum laminated then post-cured at 60° for 12 hours, which gives displacement - with IMS trim - of some 12,000 kg.The mast and Park Avenue boom are in carbon, as are the structural halyards. The teak deck has been vacuum laid, and it is marked by its open stern and double helm with integrated composite columns. The deck is extremely clean with all rig set underneath and servo-assisted by 4 electric winches in the cockpit. The transom can be opened to store a tender, while the carbon gangway is installed, aft, as a bench for the helmsman, while sailing. The gunwale and the bow roller are in carbon. All of the elements of the composite material structures, including the ceilings, are painted with the aid of special epoxy matrix fillers and polyurethane paints. The parts of the wooden furnishings are beaded and applied to the composite material with “joint” supports so as to highlight the architecturally separate wood and composites. The free areas of the carbon sides have been left exposed behind the sofas in the dinette and in the cabins. The style of the cabinetry is linear without raised cornices. The layout inside includes two twin cabins, one fore and the other aft of the dinette, each with large bathroom with shower and watertight bulkheads. The crew cabin is at the end of the bow, and this also serves as a sail locker; it has its own bathroom and independent entrance from the deck. The dinette is spacious, light and airy, with large windows in vacuum bonded Lexan. Also large and easily inspected is the perfectly soundproofed engine room in the stern.

The large dinette is made light and airy thanks to the fact that the deckhouse has two windows on each side, making it look sleeker and lighter. Performance is of the highest level, thanks to a hull design featuring fine entry sections and appendages that have been optimised based on the latest studies in hydrodynamics. The mast headed sail plan too, has been devised to allow greater efficiency with an eye to easy sailing: a generously sized mainsail together with a genoa and spinnaker of relatively small dimensions.

THE VISMARA 45 OPEN IS A SEMI-CUSTOM RACER/CRUISER. VISMARA HAS DESIGNED THE HULL AND THE INTERIOR, BUT ALSO THE HYDRO AND AERODYNAMICS WITH THE DESIGN PROJECT OF THE NEW CARBON WING MAST. EVERY PROCESS, CARBON MAST LAMINATION INCLUDED, WAS CARRIED OUT BY MARINE SERVICES.

The new design project by Vismara, aims to create a fast hull, free of IMS regulations, with which it is possible to race with satisfaction and results in the class IRC regattas, but also to enjoy the fittings and the volumes envisaged for a cruiser. The 45 Cruiser/Racer is present in a sporting version, but suitable for a more racing use. The construction is therefore sophisticated and includes lamination of the hull and deck on male moulds using carbon fibre and anti-collision reinforcements in Kevlar in the areas at most risk of impact (bow and stern chine), on epoxy matrix, impregnated in a vacuum at 0.65 Atm and post-cured at 60° for 12 hours. The structural bulkheads are in carbon.

DESIGNThe layout of the interiors has three cabins, of which two queen-sized cabins in the stern with extra foldaway bunks with tubular frames and a third cabin in the bow end with twin beds. There are two bathrooms: amidships and bow. The services and systems are concentrated in a real engine room that can be inspected easily and allows for suitable weigh concentration which contributes to the best trim and stability for the boat. The furniture style includes exposed carbon fittings such as the table tops, kitchen tops, bathroom washbasins, and the shelves behind the sofas. To save on weight, to serve the aesthetics and considering the sporting use of the vessel, the dinette and cabins will not have wall cabinets and the hull will be left exposed and painted with textured paint, The deck is fitted out for racing with free rig on deck, except for the mainsail sheet, which is sunken and concentrated in the spacious cockpit that has been studied to allow easy control of the rig. The carbon halyards are structural.

CHARACTERISTICSThe stern is open and the double helm station is in carbon with integrated columns. The sail plan has a Custom wing mast with very generous main sail (furling into the carbon boon) and furling jib with low overlap. The mast was designed by Vismara Yacht Design, making the most of the experience acquired with the previous models Vismara/Farr 65’ and Mas 60. With regard to the appendages: the rudder axle and paddle are in vacuum laminated carbon with epoxy matrix and the keel is made with blade in boxed steel, faced with glass fibre and end bulb in lead with 4% antimony. The usability of the Vismara 45 Racer/Cruiser, even in cruise conditions, is not only guaranteed by its comfortable interiors, but also by the envisaged fittings, such as heating, a fully equipped galley and two bathrooms. The Vismara 45 Open Racer/Cruiser, launched in spring 2003, made its debut at the Trofeo Accademia Navale e Città di Livorno competition.

«Beauceant» brings together all of the experience garnered in designing the previous 40/43’ vessels, from «Lucifera» to «Koala Hi.tech» and «Sheliak», onto the 45’ «Gaia», on which the hull design - and therefore, the top-level performance - is based. The Baltic 50 and Mas 60 have inspired the elegant teak deck, which is free of rigs, all of which have been sent to the cockpit and set below deck to make the bridge practical and comfortable and at the same time, to allow just two people to manage the boat with ease. With an eye to easy sailing, «Beauceant», like the «Vismara/Farr 65» and the Mas 60, has a sail plan with generously sized main and a self-turning jib with low overlap, the performance of which in this direction is aided by the carbon wing mast and the mainsail furler boom. The design also takes into consideration the need to have volumes and spaces on board that will allow for living, privacy and also storage and supplies. It also takes on board the challenge of guaranteeing all this without compromising on overall style or on the line of the hull, which is still sleek and elegant.

INTERIORSThe interiors include a master cabin in the bow, with central double bed and large bathroom. The stern area is dedicated to guests, with two double cabins and a second, shared bathroom. The dinette is cozy with its two sofas – a U-shaped one on the port side, with dining table, and an L-shaped sofa on the starboard side. The galley and course plotting area are opposite one another, on the port and starboard sides of the main entrance respectively. The surfaces of the furnishings and bulkheads in composite are faced in teak veneer and the overall design aims to create a warm, welcoming environment with a linear, modern design. The furniture is built in sandwich board and is structural. Cruising needs are favoured by the lightness of the boat’s displacement and the high-level performance under sail and engine power. The refined appendages, the lines of the hull and the sail plan are all perfectly matched by the sophisticated materials and construction techniques: the hull and deck are made on male moulds and laminated with epoxy resin over unidirectional E glass fabrics with Kevlar reinforcements in the points subjected to the greatest stress or impact, impregnated in a vacuum at 0.65 Atm and post-cured at 60° C for 12 hours. Displacement is 6,000 kg, for approx. 2,500 kg ballast in the end bulb, which is in 4% antimony lead. Even the technique used to lay the teak on the deck and in the cockpit has taken the need to save weight and provide lasting coverage into account, leading to the choice of vacuum bonding with epoxy resin.

BEAUCEANT IS A BOAT DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE SAILING ALL YEAR ROUND, WHATEVER THE SEA AND WIND CONDITIONS MIGHT BE, AND IT IS ABLE TO DEAL WITH LONG PERIODS AT SEA, IN SAFETY AND WITH A SMALL CREW.

THE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY BEHIND “ASELL” WAS THAT OF TRANSFERRING - TO 10 METRES OF BOAT – THE CONCEPTS OF HYDRODYNAMICS, NAVAL ARCHITECTURE, INTERIOR DESIGN AND GRAPHICS THAT THE STUDIO HAD DEVELOPED WITH THE 40’ IMS AND TO ENTER THE 33’ GROUP – WITH ITS PURE, SPARTAN CRAFT – WITH A BOAT THAT WOULD FINALLY BE A SEMI-CUSTOM RACER THAT COULD ALSO BE USED FOR CRUISING.

Stripped of the angular hull and deck lines of the same class, “Asell” has a rounder, more ergonomic look. The deck stands out for its open stern design and highly visible, extremely functional cockpit, given the size of the boat and the limits dictated by rating regulations. The hydrodynamics and therefore, the extreme efficiency of the appendages are the result of careful assessment and the development of principles applied to previous projects, including with regard to the latest IMS regulations. This is the first IMS to fit a mast without backstay. This design choice is the result of a desire to achieve a sail plan with jib without overlap and large mainsail the most accentuated curve possible. The through-mast has two rows of angled spreaders (28°) and composite chain-plates on the bulwarks, and it has been created to make the most of the physical qualities of carbon fibres, following complex structural calculations.

DESIGNThe design has most definitely focused on integrating the structure and interior architecture, where forms are dictated by functions and the compound materials used are truly state of the art. The interiors are simple but practical: from the area amidships, they offer the possibility to create an open space, which is useful for racing, by means of convertible, multipurpose areas, such as those formed with the unit doors, which open up to become room doors, and the bathroom that opens up to become a corridor, leaving room to unfurl the sails alongside the entrance area.The two double cabins, cosy bathroom and bulwark galley are a guarantee of excellent comfort, even when cruising. The overall styling has led to choices in terms of colour and materials that create a sporting look with sleek lines, such as the use of metallic paints, transfers, walls in Lexan, dunnages with non-slip covering and pearlised paints for furnishings. Strictly hi-tech construction techniques and materials have been used by the boatyard: the structure is a monocoque hull and deck in unidirectional fibre sandwich material made of epoxy glass with a core in termanto, post-cured in a vacuum of 0.65 Atm at 60° C using male moulds.

WINNER OF THE SARDINIA CUP 2002TEAM WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

THE PURPOSE OF THE “QQ7” DESIGN PROJECT WAS TO BUILD AN IMS BOAT THAT WOULD BE ONE OF THE FASTEST OF THE SMALLER CRAFT, WITH A GOOD RATING, COMPETITIVE IN RACES YET NOT SPARTAN, BUT SUITABLE FOR SMALL CRUISES. Compared to the two 40’ IMS racer/cruisers that preceded it in time, the “Mon Ami” and the “Magic Touch”, the new 42’ is a little longer and decidedly more of a racer, without, however, paying for this in terms of being excessively basic. The extremely clean-cut lines of the deck with open stern on the “Magic Touch” leave enough room to study a more exposed rig, which is more suited to racing use. The sporting orientation also justifies some choices for the layout inside, which is symmetrical and structural, where racing requirements are met in the bow area, with large sail lockers that convert to a bunk or which can be used for storage. Cruising use, if any, or transfers between the different race fields, is aided by the presence of two comfortable double bunks in the stern which, although minimalist, are also very functional; there is a light and airy dinette, a large bathroom and last but not least, a good engine. The versatility of the design can also be appreciated in the system of wardrobe doors, which become doors to the different rooms, making it possible to create open space areas that work to the advantage of sail changing operations during a race, as well as to restore the division of spaces that is necessary when cruising.

CHARACTERISTICSThe choices in terms of materials used for furnishings and fittings, have taken into account the practical nature required during a race and by the aesthetic sense that is appreciated while cruising. The data bank acquired while monitoring the two previous 40’ craft has made it possible to optimise the appendages on the “QQ7” and to design a rudder with a high aspect ratio and a blade keel for the maximum performance, close hauled. The sail plan, which is generously sized, was conceived to race as well as possible with IMS regulations; carbon mast with large genoa and fractional rig to allow better aerodynamics close hauled. The look and the graphics of “QQ7” invite into the world of yacht racing: the white hull with electric blue lines provides a pleasant frame for sponsors’ logos. The boat is built in glass fibre composite and Kevlar with carbon reinforcements, as are the bulkheads and furnishing elements, which are therefore an integral part of the structure.

THE THEME THAT THE FIRM DECIDED TO DEVELOP WAS THAT OF CREATING A BOAT ESSENTIALLY FOR CRUISE USE, A BOAT THAT WOULD BE COMFORTABLE AND ROOMY, BUT WITH STYLE AND PERFORMANCE THAT WOULD EXPRESS THE PERFECT RATIO BETWEEN THE POWER OF A RACER AND THE COMFORT OF A CRUISER. THUS WE CAN SUM UP THE MAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS NEW PROJECT AS THE FINE, LIGHT DESIGN OF THE BOW AND THE NOTABLE VOLUME OF THE STERN, FOLLOWING IN THE WAKE OF THE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY THAT MADE THE “KOALA HI-TECH”, OF WHICH “GAIA” IS THE NEXT STEP FORWARD, SO WELL KNOWN.

PROJECTThe displacement is medium-light to optimise performance and passage over the waves. In view of the intended use, which is “sports cruising”, the focus has been on guaranteeing marine qualities and on making the boat easier to pilot, light to manoeuvre, comfortable while sailing and extremely high performance under sail or engine power. There has been a careful choice of materials to suit the type of use of the boat; excellent-quality resins combined with sophisticated lamination techniques have made it possible to optimise the laminate’s mechanical properties and to achieve a good price/quality ratio. Also worthy of note is the high quality cabinetry used in the interiors. The owner did not wish to give up any of the warmth and elegance of wood, seeking out and demanding attention to detail, but always in full compliance with the weight allowances for the design.

CHARACTERISTICSThe boat was made using composites, unidirectional glass fibre, impregnated in epoxy resins and post-cured at 70° C over a core in variable density Kleggcell for both the hull and deck as well as the fixtures. The layout and construction technology of the interiors use the base concepts behind the ‘Koala’: these features are characterised by incredibly innovative and essential design choices that have focused on the hull, which is exposed in the majority of the boat.

DESIGNThe interiors are perfectly symmetrical and modular, a fact that works in favour of light weight, longitudinal rigidity as well as simplifying construction. The furnishings are made with sandwich panels veneered in Tanganyka walnut, with carbon tops that occupy the bottom part of the boat, leaving the hull exposed. The pairing of these materials, with “exposed” treatment, and specific colour solutions to finish the furnishings, has created a modern, light and airy atmosphere. The division of space is optimum for a 45’, with master cabin plus bathroom in the bow and two more double cabins in the stern, which share a central bathroom.The large dinette with galley and course plotting area, is located amidships and set out symmetrically. The sail plan sums up the very latest concepts in “easy sailing”: it has a carbon mast with spreaders angled slightly aft, without flying rigs and slightly fractional, and a large batten main, so as to obtain efficient performance and simple manoeuvres with a smaller crew as well as easier cruise use.The deck features a large cockpit with two wheels and comfortable benches, plus a sleek, low deckhouse.

MON AMI MON AMI EMPHASISES THE CONCEPT BY WHICH AN IMS, BUILT FOR SPEED AND FOR WINNING, EVEN FROM A RATING POINT OF VIEW, CAN HAVE STYLISH CONTENT AND FEATURES THAT MEAN IT IS EQUALLY SUITED TO CRUISING USE.

The successes of “Querida” have provided a great deal of inspiration for designing hulls and appendages, which new materials and continued studies in hydrodynamics carried out together with ICAD, have made even more current. The hull shapes therefore include very rounded sections, with stern and bow rakes reduced to a minimum to achieve a water line length of 10.80 metres. Displacement, as a ratio of length, is average and the maximum beam is set far enough back to improve performance at the relevant high speeds. The sail plan, the ratio between main and genoa surface areas, are typical of fractional plans with the relevant benefits in terms of easy handling, which is also perfect for the cruiser: a large batten main with lazy jack and a genoa and spinnaker of modest size.The deck has a very large and shallow cockpit, with all rig sent above the deckhouse alongside the entrance to make it easier to use the helm when cruising too. The hull and deck construction is in Kevlar composite, and left exposed on the interior of the boat. The overall styling and the design of the interior is cutting edge: the interior is divided into bow cabin with twin beds and double cabin in the stern, bathroom module in the centre and dinette, galley and course plotting area amidships, constructed with termanto and glass fibre sandwich panels. Furnishings are structural parts of the boat, and the symmetrical division of fittings plays a part in increasing the overall rigidity and light weight. The specific layout also makes it possible for the boat to be used in two ways: cruise version, with both cabins, and racer, where the cabin doors are used to close the wardrobes and create the perfect open space with central module - based on an aeronautical layout – that combines steps, bathroom and engine room into a single block.

MAGIC TOUCH COMES JUST A FEW MONTHS AFTER “MON AMI” AND THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO CONCERN THE EVOLUTION AND FINE TUNING OF A SINGLE DESIGN PHILOSOPHY: TO MAKE THE USE OF A VESSEL AS A CRUISER OR A RACER TRULY INDIFFERENT, MAKING IT EASIER TO SELL ON IN BOTH ENVIRONMENTS.

The open stern offers greater cockpit comfort; the main traveller has been moved more towards the bow and as a result, the boom is shorter and the mainsail surface is smaller, enabling aerodynamic efficiency compared to rating. All rig is sunken, leaving the deckhouse clearer and more living space on deck.The interior envisages two cabins, but there is also a second bathroom and some additional cruising accessories, such as the fridge in the central part of the engine room, although no accessories adversely affect weight calculation and therefore, performance. The study of interior spaces emphasises the concept of multi-purpose space, as happens with the composite panels through which the cabins make room for generously sized bathrooms and which, when not used, return that space to the cabins. While racing, the interior is converted to an open space for much easier sail management.

KIRRIBILLI IS THE RESULT OF AN IDEA DEVELOPED WITH ARCHITECT, RENZO PIANO TO DESIGN A FAST CRUISER WITH ALL OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MOST MODERN MAXI YACHTS, AND THE SOBER QUALITIES AND ESSENTIAL LINES OF THE FAMOUS J CLASS, WHICH COMPETED IN THE AMERICA’S CUP IN THE 1930S.

The main characteristic of this boat is that it combines advanced construction technology, researched hydrodynamics and performance with sober elegance. The design is never for its own sake, as often happens with many modern yachts, but rather it is a means to create the ideal surroundings for the use of composite materials. The technical and architectural factors are the result of structures integrated into the interior or on the deck. The structures and reinforcement plates on the deck have been left exposed, which enhances the adequate combination of technology of the materials and the way they have been used structurally and aesthetically. The monocoque structure, with hull and deck in high-thickness sandwich, also makes it possible to eliminate almost all of the secondary reinforcement structures, leaving smooth, seamless surfaces inside the boat. In this way, the continuity is constant between all of the surfaces of the hull, deck and bulkheads, which are joined by a wide radius to create a seamless monolithic area, where the structure is architecture. The division of space into cabins exists, but compartmentalisation is linear and symmetrical, so when we see the whole craft, from stern to bow, we perceive the outer forms and the structural order. On board the feeling is that of experiencing shapes and perceiving the structures: hull, deck and bulkheads are painted in a pale mother-of-pearl shade, featuring simple forms and attention to detail, becoming part of the boat, almost as if they are outside elements, almost sculptures in wood that “inhabit” the partition bulkheads. This has made it possible to build an extremely light craft, with the maximum weight and minimum wetted surface of its size and type of equipment.

GHIBELLINA IS A NEXT-GENERATION MAXI, A FAST SAIL-POWERED YACHT WITH THE ABILITY TO COMBINE EVER HIGHER PERFORMANCE WITH USE AND MANOEUVRABILITY WITH A SMALLER CREW IN COMPLETE SAFETY ON ONE HAND, LIGHTNESS AND SOPHISTICATED MECHANICAL AND HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS AND INTERIORS OF GREAT COMFORT ON THE OTHER.The linear and simple forms in this design are reflected in the flush-deck layout: the rig is reduced to a minimum, with halyards running below deck in special ducts. The companions are custom made and low profile, as are the cleats, fairleads and two capstan drums, envisaged fore and aft. The stanchions and pulpits are in sand-blasted steel. The sail plan includes a large batten main and a genoa with low overlap which, together with the medium-light displacement and the high stabilising keel, make the craft easier to manoeuvre. Another detail of the “Ghibellina” is the trim tab fitted on the keel, as currently used by the most modern Americas Cup vessels, to improve the reach angle and reactivity of the helm during broad reach and so that the vessel is always safe and easy to pilot.Interiors with cutting-edge concepts, designed in conjunction with architect Lapo Ruffi, giving the composite materials of the hull a predominant role that will respect and enhance the material itself by inserting along the whole length of the interiors, wide strips of exposed and polished carbon fibre to allow the structural shell to be perceived in every point of the boat.

The light created by the exposed carbon fibre is a harmonious contrast with the stainless steel of the different panels and the support frames of the wall cabinets, and amongst the large wooden areas of the bleached teak furnishings and strips in frosted Plexiglas. The concept of interior space is based on the architectural criteria of a loft with an array of interwoven perspectives, from the galley to the stern cabin. Proceeding from the stern to the bow, on the starboard side, is a service cabin with its own bathroom and washing machine and on the port side, a multi-accessorised galley, with separate cook top and oven. Also worth mentioning is the placement of the engine room, in a central part, together with the entrance steps which are open all round. There is a large stainless steel refrigerator in front of the engine room.The dinette, which is comprised of a living area, dining area and office desk, is also very comfortable. The bow area is dedicated to the guest cabins, with separate beds and own bathroom and a generously sized double master cabin with Teuco shower/sauna. The large sail locker is accessible from the deck. The boat has air conditioning, generator, water maker, washing machine, dishwasher and macerator. A tender is stored in its own stern garage.

Sailing Yachts

THE “MEDITERRANEAN” VERSION OF THE BALTIC 50 WAS CREATED ON THE BACK OF AN IDEA TO COMBINE THE HIGH PERFORMANCE OF AN IMS HULL DESIGNED BY BILL TRIPP FOR A RACE VERSION, WITH THE VERSATILITY OF THE BALTIC YARD WHEN IT COMES TO BUILDING CUSTOM AND SEMI-CUSTOM CRAFT.

Concerning these two elements, the firm made significant interventions, with new designs for the deck and interiors, suggesting a mini-series of Baltic 50 that would be closer to the uses and tastes of the Mediterranean.Magica,” “Sherazade” and “Sei tu” are fitted out as fast cruisers: the simplified deck – now more efficient and functional – has been devised for easier manoeuvres with a smaller crew.

DESIGNThe interiors have been changed on the basis of requests from the respective owners. Therefore, we have a 3 cabin version (“Magica”), then “Sherazade,” which is a two-cabin version and the 4 cabin model, “Sei tu,” (without course plotting area, but with a plasma computer screen that folds down into the dinette table). The finishes too have been changed, from traditional teak to trail-blazing “Anigre” on the “Sherazade”, with titanium-effect steel for handrails and alcantara or precious fabrics woven from Sardinian cotton on “Magica”. “Gordon’s” and “Melissa” are more reminiscent of the racer-cruiser.

CHARACTERISTICSThe sail plan, deck and construction are more extreme: double helm in carbon for “Melissa” and vacuum construction using carbon fibres pre-impregnated with epoxy resin for both, with a resulting 10% reduction in displacement compared to other models. The sail plan has a 9/10 semifractional rig, the mast is in carbon with three spreaders and no backstays and as far as the appendages are concerned, a special keel bulb with steel blade and torpedo-shaped bulb has been designed. The rudder and axle are in carbon and epoxy. The intended use is sportier, but this does not take anything away from the high-grade finishes of the interiors, which have been carefully fitted and are also equipped for cruising.

ALEDOA 5 IS AN EXTREME, FAST, AND HIGH-TECH BOAT THAT EXPRESSES ALL OF THE EXPERIENCE OF BALTIC YACHTS WHEN IT COMES TO USING MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGIES COMMONLY FOUND IN THE AERONAUTICAL AND SPACE INDUSTRIES TO CREATE THE MOST CUTTING-EDGE FEATURES THAT BOAT DESIGN HAS TO OFFER. The hull and deck are vacuum laminated and post-cured at 80° C; they are made in pre-impregnated carbon sandwich with a core of corecell and nomex, as are the structural bulkheads. The hi-tech features of “Aledoa 5” are not just the result of the materials used, but also due to the way in which they have been combined with specific design choices. A decisive factor here is the canting keel, which offers greater stability and righting capability, plus the possibility to sail close hauled, with the boat listing very little and therefore, with greater comfort for those on board as well as higher speed. Other design features include the waterline with reduced wetted surface and more efficient sail plan- Balance at the helm and bowline angles have been improved by the presence of a retractable stern fin with hydraulic drive. In order not to compromise the light displacement design philosophy behind “Aledoa 5”, a great deal of care and attention has gone into the other construction elements, such as :wheel, mast and booms in carbon, custom skylights in carbon, while the stanchions, stern and bow pulpits and retractable anchor fitting are in titanium. However, it would be wrong to call this Superbaltic 78 a “bare regatta machine”. There is an abundance of teak not just on deck, where it has been laid using the vacuum epoxy technique habitually used by the Finnish boatyard for years now, but also on the interiors, with their harmonious, welcoming

feel and host of accessories. From bow to stern, the layout is: a crew cabin with independent access, two guest cabins with double bed and own bathroom, dinette with course plotting area and galley. The double master cabin is amidships and enjoys a large bathroom with shower cabin and desk/dressing table. Aft, and accessible from the work cockpit, is the skipper’s cabin, starboard and on the port side, the third guest cabin, each with own bathroom. The deck, with two cockpits, is laid out with aluminium custom winches, the main ones being electrically powered – for the mainsheet and the Genoa halyards.

VAGULA IS A VERY SPECIAL BALTIC 47. COMPARED TO THE STANDARD MODEL, THE FIRM HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT ALTERATIONS TO THE INTERIORS AND DECK, BRINGING IT MUCH CLOSER TO MEDITERRANEAN TASTES AND USAGE.

The deck plan has been cleaned up and made simpler: the deckhouse has been lowered, the lines completely led to the cockpit, for example the deckhouse main traveller of mainsail has been moved to the helm wheel and the four winches, previously fitted around the mast, have been moved to the cockpit, leaving a reduced crew more room to move. The Baltic 60 “Mattone” provides the inspiration for the sail locker -fore- with deck access, the splash guard hood that folds away into the deck, and the large living space with cockpit and roomy sunbathing areas. The rigging and construction techniques used for the hull complement one another, each design aimed at light weight, speed and at the same time, robustness and therefore, safety. The rigging is technological: carbon mast without running backstays or fore stays, Main sail, Genoa with little overlap and Staysail. The construction of the hull is typically “Baltic”: GRP sandwich with aeronautical balsa, unidrectional kevlar fibres and glass core. Its style is classical, with well-proportioned layout for the interior. The stern cabin has twin queen-sized beds, a dressing table/desk and bathroom with shower cubicle. Continuing towards the bow is the top side galley, followed by the course plotting area in the dinette, in front of the U-shaped sofa with table. Two twin cabins with bunk beds are located in the bow, each with a bathroom. The interiors are faced with a very pale bleached teak that gives the boat its light, elegant look.

SHELIAK IS THE CRUISER VERSION OF THE “KOALA HIGH-TECH”, FROM WHICH IT GETS ITS HULL FORM AND DECK PLAN. THE SAIL PLAN IS NEW, AS ARE THE MOBILE KEEL AND INTERIOR LAYOUTS.

Compared to the “Koala”, less extreme construction materials than carbon have been chosen, but they are just as valid in terms of their strength/light weight ratio.The sail plan sums up the most modern concepts of “easy sailing”, essentially for family cruising use and the boat has a carbon mast with spreaders slightly towards the stern, without flying rig and slightly fractional, set very far back for better trim and with a large batten main, a genoa at 140 %, a movable fore mast and a large gennaker with retracting bowsprit.

CHARACTERISTICSThe interiors once again reflect the use of composite materials as having both an aesthetic and structural use and the pairing of these materials, with “exposed” treatment, serves to create a modern, light and airy interior. Compared to the “Koala”, “Sheliak” is roomier, since the layout includes two rather than three cabins. The technology used and the design choices made have all focused on safety, fun and comfort. One example can be seen in the centreboard step, which is located in the dinette, fore, where it is a furnishing item as well as a functional piece. Moreover, modern technology has allowed us to create a “transparent” centreboard step so that once the centreboard has been lowered; its visual impact is dramatically reduced. This craft has been built using unidirectional Kevlar and glass fibres impregnated with epoxy resin under vacuum and post-cured at 70° C on a variable density Airex core for hull, deck and fittings.

THE PERFORMANCE AND EXCELLENT RACE RATING ARE IN FACT FAVOURED BY A MAXIMUM BEAM AFT OF THE AREA AMIDSHIPS AND NOT TOO ACCENTUATED – A SOLUTION THAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE IN THE BOW REGION THE EXTREMELY THIN SECTIONS ARE UNDERLINED BY THE BOW LINES

CHARACTERISTICSThe transom, which is closed to allow the project to be classified in the Cruiser category, remains high on the water, which optimises its rating in light wind conditions. The mastheaded sail plan has been studied to have the typical ratios between mainsail and genoa of a fractional rig. A generously sized mainsail is used with a relatively small genoa and spinnaker in order to make sailing easier, especially when cruising.The interiors are in wood, while the fixtures and fittings have a sandwich construction; the master cabin is in the stern, with two separate queen-sized beds, while the second cabin has a large double bed for guests.The dinette is welcoming and the galley is perfectly equipped for cruising. The hull and deck are built in GRP using a female mould.

of care and attention has gone into making way for the important factors for IMS rating reduction, such as the wetted surface of the bulb and rudder, the stern lines and the construction technology used. The sail plan features a mast head rig, without running sails, so as to guarantee simple manoeuvres with a smaller crew. The mainsail and genoa ratios are typical of those of a fractional rig, with all of the relevant advantages in handling terms. There is to be a large full batten main with lazy jack, while the genoa and spinnaker have been made smaller. The boat is therefore simpler to use under sail power as well as being well balanced at the helm, especially upwind, which is also thanks to its very high rudder. The deck is basic, with a large, rationally designed cockpit, which is versatile enough to suit both regatta and cruise uses.

INTERIORThe interior is divided into two comfortable cabins, each with wardrobes, one in the bow and one in the stern. There is also a dinette, laid out along the length of the craft, which can covert, as needed into two separate berths. The L-shaped galley on the port side is roomy and equipped with fridge, hob with four burners, and two sinks. The course plotting area is opposite the galley and has a larger table than is usually found as standard on boats of this size. The bathroom is aft of the course plotting area. Symmetrical division of the interior has made it possible to use furnishing units and structural bulkheads in such a way as to make further reductions in the craft’s total weight, which is only 4,200 kg. The construction itself is monolithic, unidirectional GRP in biaxial compression, with epoxy resin and isophthalic resins. The keel bulb is lead, concentrating the majority of the ballast low down, which works to the advantage of both stability and comfort while sailing.

RATHER THAN A SIMPLE DESIGN PROJECT, “KOALA HI-TECH” WAS A GENUINE RESEARCH AND EXPERIMENT LABORATORY, GIVING RISE TO A HOST OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS AND ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTIONS: A FAST CRUISER IN CARBON, WITH A TOUGH LOOK AND A MOBILE KEEL THAT IS THE RESULT OF COMPLICATED FLUID DYNAMICS CALCULATIONS.

Even the interiors, in terms of layout and technology, are an important step forward for boat design in general. In fact, for the first time, glass fibre, Kevlar and carbon have been used as aesthetic and not just structural features. Once past the dominance of wooden finishes, this technology has meant significant weight savings, thanks to the elimination of the filling, painting and facing processes.

ARCHITECTUREThe architecture of “Koala Hi-Tech” includes an ultra-modern hull, the result of the latest developments in hydrodynamics applied to Open and IMS racers, with a fine, lightweight design for the bow and notable volume in the stern, plus very tight longitudinal “buttocks”. Displacement is quite light, to optimise planing and passage over the waves. “Koala” also has a centre board with 2,000 kg end bulb, which means draught can be varied from 2 to 3.2 m, favouring, on one hand, the cruiser’s needs for reduced draught, and on the other, extremely high stability and hold for the sail.

To achieve such light displacement and high weight concentration with a 60% ballast ratio, all in the end bulb, the boat was built in composite material, using unidirectional Kevlar and carbon fibres, vacuum impregnated with epoxy resin and post-cured at 70° C on a termanto core with variable density. The same technique and materials were used for the fittings. The sail plan is regatta-based. The carbon mast has spreaders slightly angled aft, without running rigging, and set right back for better trim; there will be a large batten main, a genoa with low overlap, a removable foremast and a large gennaker with retracting bowsprit. This type of rig not only offers excellent racing efficiency, it is also notably simple to manoeuvre with a smaller crew, meaning the boat is easier to use when cruising.

DESIGNThe innovative contribution of the interior design of “Koala” is not limited to its aesthetic and structural use of composite materials: a further development has been the “symmetrical” division of the same, which has made it possible to fully integrate fittings and the structure, to the benefit of light weight, longitudinal rigidity and simple manufacture – this latter thanks to the standardised nature of the elements. The division is ideal for a 43’, with 2 master cabins and 2 bathrooms in the stern, a twin cabin in the bow and a large dinette with galley and course plotting area built into the compartments to the sides of the step for the centreboard, which as well as being functional then becomes a furnishing element. The deck features a very large cockpit with two wheels and comfortable bench seating with back rests for cruising. Great care and attention has gone into studying the overall aesthetics of the deck and deckhouse, so as to make this a modern boat with a classical style at the same time, in order to guarantee the possibility to sell it on in the future.

“MATTONE 4” IS A CRUISER-RACER WITH MEDITERRANEAN SET UP, ALL ABOUT ITALIAN STYLE AND DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE THE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE WITH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LINES AND VOLUMES THAT ARE COMFORTABLE, PRACTICAL AND ELEGANT. IT IS AN ULTRA-MODERN CRAFT, WITH AESTHETIC DETAILS THAT GIVE IT A “CLASSIC” STYLE.The main characteristics are the layout of the deck plan, with large areas for passengers, organised into two cockpits: a central one for guests and one from which to skipper the craft, with all of the main adjustments, properly arranged around the wheel, which is large in size and therefore more practical for cruising use. The deck design also stands out for the low, continuous deckhouse, from bow to stern. The mast and booms are in carbon. “Mattone 4” is a very fast boat, thanks to medium-light displacement but also to a significant sail surface and long extensions. The interiors have the master cabin amidships – the most stable point of the craft while sailing, with a double bed under the central cockpit, in a position where the engine is usually to be found, except that this time, together with all of the installations, the engine has been moved to an area under the stern cockpit. This solution has been made possible by the increasingly light weight of installations which therefore no longer risk compromising trim as well as being perfect with the powerful hull lines of “Mattone” with its large volumes aft. Also in the interests of comfort, the dunnage in the master cabin is lower than on the rest of the craft as well as being full beam. Continuing forward, there are two more cabins, with a large shared bathroom: a double, offcentre cabin on the port side bulwark and a twin with the beds set out in a V. A fourth double cabin aft has an independent entrance from the deck, like the two in the bow.

A TECHNOLOGICAL BOAT WITH MOBILE KEEL AND WATER BALLAST, DEVISED FOR THE CRUISER WHO IS LOOKING FOR A SPORTY MODEL WITH AN AGGRESSIVE AND POWERFUL PROFILE, LIGHT WEIGHT AND ABOVE ALL FUNCTIONAL WHILE CRUISING AND EASY TO MANOEUVRE WITH A SMALLER CREW. “LUCIFERA” IS A TRAILBLAZER WHEN IT COMES TO THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF MODERN FAST CRUISERS.

With a displacement of 4,400 kg, Lucifera is a decidedly lightweight craft: the hull profile – based on the WOR 60 - is as taut as the diagonals; depth is contained, with the transom low on the water and a maximum beam of 60% of the hull and as a result, a centre of volume that is set rather far back.The hull is equipped with 600 kg side ballast and a centreboard with end bulb that makes it possible to vary draught from 2.2 to 3 metres and this way, to guarantee a high degree of stability together with significant versatility when it comes to cruising. The lightweight hull is made using a composite construction of unidirectional glass fibres and epoxy resin applied under vacuum and post-cured at 70°C, to a core in Termanto with variable density. The same technology is used for the interiors with the addition – also under vacuum and via bonding – of mahogany finishes. The sail plan, which is clearly inspired by regatta plans, has a carbon mast with wide, angled spreaders, a full-batten main of large dimensions, a rollable genoa with very low overlap, removable fore mast and mast headed gennaker with retracting bowsprit. The fact that volumes are generally set back in the vessel can also be seen on the deck, which features a large cockpit with double wheel for the helm, located at the end of the stern so as to make the most of interior volumes, keeping the cockpit where the anchor can be manoeuvred easily. All rig is sent to the cockpit. The deckhouse has four hatches, a bow hatch and four portholes to guarantee excellent light. The division of the interior revolves around the centreboard step which, thanks to a maximum beam of 4.20 m, does not take up space – on the contrary, it contributes by acting as a partition between the bow area with table and sofas, and the stern entrance with doors through to the cabins, galley and course plotting table.

“ALLIGATOR” IS A CUSTOM-BUILD CREATED ON THE LINES OF A BRUCE FARR HULL, AIMED AT BUILDING A FAST CRUISER WITH A SPORTING LOOK BUT WITH SOPHISTICATED AND ELEGANT INTERIORS.The boat’s characteristics are very close to those of the latest maxi racers: open stern design, two wheels with composite material columns, rig reduced to a minimum, with halyards running below deck in special ducts, medium-light displacement and high stabilising keel. The sail plan has been studied to achieve the best possible performance in middle-light wind conditions and includes a large batten main and a low overlap genoa, which is easily manoeuvred, even with a smaller crew. The mast has angled spreaders without running backstays.The interiors have been set out according to the owner’s needs, with galley and crew quarters clearly separate from the master quarters. The course plotting area has been removed and replaced by a plasma screen computer that stores in the dinette table, complete with fully integrated controls for navigation and using course plotting software and programmes for weather forecasts, facsimile communication and control of on-board systems. The hull and deck are built in Kevlar compound, GRP and epoxy resins, while the interiors have sandwich structural panels with teak veneer.

LAUNCHED IN SPRING 1996, THE BALTIC 67 WAS WAY AHEAD OF HER TIME.The original philosophy for this project was to produce a very comfortable and high quality cruising yacht that would be lighter and faster than any other «full interior» yacht of the same size.The concept was a collaboration between the owner, R&J Design and Baltic Yachts, with Bruce Farr responsible for the naval architecture. The hull was constructed of pre-preg carbon, and the rudder, mast and boom were also carbon.We had high hopes for this hi-tech project, and we were delighted to find that the finished boat met all our expectations and exceeded many of them.

MONO-MARAN: THAT IS HOW WE COULD DEFINE THE HULL OF “JUNOPLANO,” WHICH IS LIKE ONE OF THE HULLS OF A CAT.AS WELL AS TWO ROTATING FOILS, THIS 18-METRE ULDB HAS A CANTING KEEL (60° PER SIDE, WHICH IS 15°MORE THAN THE KEELS ON THE 60’ FOR BOC AND VENDÉE) AND A PIVOTING WING MAST IN CARBON, SEAT IN THE DECK, WITHOUT SHROUDS. “Junoplano” paved the way for the creation of fast cruising yachts with a canting keel as a righting element to increase comfort and safety as well as performance.The experimental purpose of “Junoplano” is obviously also a challenge. The canting keel system, together with the two bow-stern appendages, pivoting with a vertical axis (“Twin Foils”), in fact aims to solve the problem of the traditional keel, i.e., the conflict of interest between the two basic functions – righting and capacity. The result is the dream of every yachtsman: close haul or broad reach without side slip. Therefore, being able to count on the entire righting movement, it has been possible to design a hull with a lower waterline area, limiting the “hull resistance” effect of every displacement mono-hull. Form an aerodynamic viewpoint, the choice of pivoting mast means a sail plan with greater useful thrust and lower tilt effect, while the centre of gravity of mast and rig is about 3 m lower than a classical shrouded mast, which reduces lurching on the waves.The interiors are light and basic, but suitable for cruising and long sailing trips: 10 berths, 2 heads, fully-equipped galley, 2 fridges, heating, and water maker. The deck has two large cockpits, one for relaxing in, without any rig, and an operative one with simple bar rudder.

CRUISING FOR A MONTH AND RACING FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR. THIS WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR AN AWARD-WINNING BOAT, ONE WHICH WON THE SARDINIA CUP IN 1996 AND THE GIRAGLIA IN 2001.

It was designed to be in line with IMS regulations but also keeping in mind the spaces needed for comfortable living space and it was built using technology normally dedicated to the one-off hull. The size was chosen in consideration of the fact that the largest number of racers is to be found in the 40’ class of the IMS; this is also a length that leaves room for 6 comfortable berths. The distribution of space does follow the general trend for the modern IMS, which has a reduced maximum beam, meaning very sharp half angles of entry, which are accentuated by the turn of the wheel at the waterline level, between the bow and the sheer (bottom).

CHARACTERISTICS“Querida” has been optimised for light winds; it has a high transom and the appendages have been carefully designed, in compliance with IMS regulations. The keel stands out for its large surface area and its volume has also been “inflated”. For the rudder, not wishing to use the penalised carbon, the choice has fallen on a shaft in bonded aluminium foils. This weld-free technology can use aluminium with high magnesium content and therefore, more rigid and competitive than “traditional” exotic fibres.The deck features a lack of stern peaks, which improves the longitudinal strength of the overall construction as well as offering more room below. The compartment needed to store gear has been fitted in the centre of the cockpit bottom.

INTERIORSThe structural interiors are in composite materials, made with a glass structure that is not sandwich but a monolithic thin sheet of varying thickness, made with the traditional planking system. The fittings are symmetrically divided, which contributes to increasing overall rigidity and reducing chains and improving performance downwind. The sail plan includes a generously sized mainsail with a genoa and spinnaker of modest size to simplify sailing upwind.

DESIGNED FOR LONG PERIODS OF SOLITARY SAILING, “KIDOGO” IS THE FIRST MINITRANSAT BUILT NOT ONLY WITH THE AIM OF WINNING THE PRESTIGIOUS OCEAN RACE, BUT ALSO TO TAKE PART IN OPEN REGATTAS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. THIS IS WHY IT HAS MORE SAILS AND IS NARROWER IN THE BEAM AND ABOVE ALL, OFFERS A BETTER PERFORMANCE CLOSE HAULED THAN OTHERS OF HER CLASS.

“Kidogo” features a highly sophisticated construction, all in Kevlar and carbon, and a deck layout that does not include the “Round beam”, which means that its weight has been reduced further and no mould was needed. This saving in weight is also helped by the use of minimalist interiors and basic installations.Experience with “Moro di Venezia” in the structural field led to the creation of a blade keel in carbon which, together with a ballast ratio and the innovative sail plan, makes “Kidogo” highly competitive in a fresh breeze. In fact, the sail plan includes a large main sail roach, jib without overlap and large gennaker. The mast has a variable section with spreaders angled at 25°. “Kidogo” also has a 300 kg ballast system on each side, enabled with a pressure pipe and manual pump and it is fitted with solar-powered generators, as well as other innovative features such as automatic pilot control. “Kidogo” was the best Italian boat at the Minitransat in 1995, with Simone Bianchetti.

GO FAST GUAGLIONE

THE DESIGN PROJECT FOR “GO FAST GUAGLIONE” IS BASED ON THE WINNING DESIGNS OF JONATHAN IV (ITALIAN CHAMPION IN 1993) AND GEN MAR (WORLD CHAMPION, 1994) AND ON THE CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES TRIED AND TESTED PREVIOUSLY ON THE MULTI-PRIZE-WINNING “QUERIDA”.

The hull is made with a geodetic structure and monolithic planking in biaxial GRP and epoxy resin, a solution that guarantees the maximum light weight and rigidity as well as a handicap on the rating. Thanks to this type of structure and in particular, to the special profiles of the bulb and steering, as well as the stern profile of the hull with “low dynamic length”, the boat is significantly longer and has a much greater sail area, which means it performs even better.The layout of the interiors and the deck plan guarantee excellent weight concentration. The cockpit and deckhouse, with just two winches and cross-over rig so as to be able to work windward, are functional and without frills. The sail plan is the result of the latest studies into aerodynamic efficiency calculation for the IMS system sail plan used on small craft, and it features a large main sail with a small triangle, fore.

THE ILC 40’ CLASS IS THE MOST TECHNICAL AND SOPHISTICATED OF ALL OCEAN-GOING YACHTS. TO BE COMPETITIVE, “ALLIGATOR” WAS DESIGNED TO INCORPORATE STATE-OF-THE-ART CONCEPTS AND USING STRUCTURAL AND HYDRODYNAMIC CALCULATIONS, WHICH HAVE BROUGHT GREAT SATISFACTION TO ITS ILLUSTRIOUS SKIPPERS: FRANCESCO DE ANGELIS AND JOHN KOSTEKY.

Alligator is longer and lighter than other competitors, with a notable concentration of weight, achieved through structural use of the cockpit, deckhouse and a revolutionary layout of interior fixtures and fittings.Modelling software has been used to create a hull with low freeboard, the minimum allowed in its category, a very round section with little rake, a high displacement-length ratio and with “terraces” on deck to make the maximum use of the righting moment from the crew.To make the most of the characteristics offered by building the boat in carbon fibre, the overall boat/internal layout has been completely reviewed: the bathroom is now amidships, under the entrance, in order to free the bow completely and create, with the galley/lockers structure to one side, an extremely rigid central structure. This has also made it possible to concentrate all the masses in the centre and the structures, with a Finite Elements program, optimising the laminates, and to create an ultra-light monocoque structure, fore and aft. The specific wheelhouse and cockpit layout has also made it possible to remove all deck reinforcement structures. To increase the rigidity of the mast/bulb, the studio has also developed a system to slot the top part of the bulb into the centreboard case, integrated into the bulkhead of the mast and the engine box.This notable saving in weight terms and the lowered centre of gravity (thanks to the cutting-edge structure) have made it possible to limit the weight of the bulb, which has been reduced by 600 kg compared to the average for these vessels. Therefore, it has been possible, using Analytical Methods and their fluid dynamics program (VS Aero), to optimise the keel blade and the end bulb to obtain an appendage with great height and a low resistance coefficient at all angles. As far as the deck plan is concerned, and the layout of lines, one important feature has been the elimination of winches on the deckhouse, thanks to an original tightening mechanism below deck, which means that since the deckhouse is not structural, it is much lighter. The other winches are all set in the deck to lower the centre of gravity; the main sheet runs inside the sandwich thickness of a carbon tube and all fine adjustment lines run below deck in special ducts, to leave the deck free and lower moving weights even further. Extremely sophisticated technology is behind the construction, such as vacuum lamination of single parts with oven post curing of the laminated items. All parts of the boat, such as the shroud chain-plates, the boom and the interior furnishings are made in vacuum glass and carbon fibre.

MORGANA IS A MINI-MAXI DESIGNED TO EXPRESS THE BEST OF THE NEW IMS REGULATIONS. THE HULL BY BRUCE FARR GUARANTEES TOP PERFORMANCE AND COMPETITIVENESS, WHILE FOR THE INTERIOR DESIGN AND DECK, VISMARA HAS MADE NO COMPROMISES IN TERMS OF ELEGANCE AND COMFORT, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE BOAT’S USE AS A CRUISER. The boat has a high prismatic coefficient, rounded sections with minimum wetted surface, a rather fine bow area but a large-sized stern, with volumes and a maximum beam accentuated for the entire central section of the hull. The deck is very clean and orderly, to the benefit of both types of use: cruising and racing. The rig is prime quality and also selected and fitted with an eye to racing use, with 3 coffee grinders, one in the cockpit for the main sheet and the other two before the central cockpit to aid the primary winches. The double cockpit meets the needs or rationalisation and distribution of the various rig and equipment during a race as well as the space available for “non-technical” sailing moments. The interiors are made in termanto panels faced in teak, used on both furnishings and bulkheads. This technique has allowed “Morgana” to be a boat with a tough, racing look but with the interiors of a luxury yacht. Management of the space on board has created a division between the crew area in the bow and the owner’s and guests’ quarters in the stern, with the twin-bedded master cabin and the guest cabin with bunks, each one with its own bathroom.

PISTRICE IS ONE OF THE FIRST DESIGN PROJECTS TO BE MADE IN ITALY FOR IMS REGATTAS - AND BUILT FOLLOWING PRINCIPLES THAT UNTIL THEN HAD BEEN APPLIED STRICTLY TO RACERS - WITHOUT COMPROMISING COMFORT OR AESTHETICS ON THE INTERIOR. Pistrice has rounded sections with a low wetted surface and limited but not completely abolished rake. Displacement is medium-light, also to allow the interior to be fitted out without affecting trim. This was a cutting-edge craft for 1992 in terms of construction materials (unidirectional Kevlar fibres and glass S on a core of termanto and epoxy resin), and lamination procedure under vacuum on a male mould followed by post-curing in an oven at 55° C for 16 hours.

The bulb is lead and antimony and weighs 2,100 kg, the square section tiller is in Kevlar and epoxy, laminated under vacuum. The deck has a racing layout, even if the long deckhouse and the helm station with wheel show attention to piloting the craft in cruise conditions. The cockpit is large, without wave guard or benches, even if the winch area is slightly raised compared to the deck and this makes it easier to use the ergonomics of the rig. Moreover, the bottom contains a large, comfortable peak. The helm wheel (160 cm) is in carbon for excellent sensitivity. The mast headed sail plan includes a J (4.40 m) which is decidedly small compared to the 5.7 m E. This links the simplicity of the mast head to the lightness of the fractional genoa and spinnaker, which are small and easy to control. The mast and boom are in carbon. The interior with its classic layout of two cabins and two bathrooms, represents a great new feature from a construction viewpoint: all furniture is made in termanto sandwich and glass fibre with some teak inserts and veneer on the edging, doors and other furnishing items. This technology has made it possible to use the sides of the furniture units as structural components of the vessel, which increases its lightness and rigidity.

Small dimensions, but the first great satisfying results for Alessandro Vismara. As well as regatta performance, there is also the record, with this project, of introducing a new generation of boats featuring extra large mainsails and small Genoa sails, for a very large sail area compared to displacement and with a very wide deck to accentuate the righting moment on account of the weight of the crew. In the Italian Championships of 1991, “Gen Mar” took first place, while third and fourth went to “Malandrino” and “Almachi”. “Jonathan IV” took the world title in 1992 with “Almachi” coming in an excellent third. In the same year, “Malandrino” won the Corinthian Trophy. In 1993, “Gen Mar” came second in the Italian Championships and won the World Championship, Class VI in Bayonne.

GEN MAR IS THE RESULT OF THE DREAM OF CLAUDIO DE MARTIS, WHO JUST MISSED WINNING THE 3/4 TON CUP WITH “SERBIDIÒLA” IN 1983. HE THEN DECIDED TO SURROUND HIMSELF WITH A GROUP OF LIKE-MINDED SAILING FRIENDS, WITH THE SAME DESIRE TO WIN, SO THAT EACH ONE, WITH THEIR EXPERIENCE, COULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE CREATION OF A WINNING BOAT. THE JOB OF DESIGNING “GEN MAR” WAS GIVEN TO ALESSANDRO VISMARA. IN 1988, JUST A WEEK AFTER ITS LAUNCH, “GEN MAR” WON THE ITALIAN CHAMPIONSHIP CLASS IV IOR AT MARCIANA MARINA, AND WAS AWARDED THE “BOAT OF THE YEAR”. IT WAS ALSO THE BEST ITALIAN BOAT AT THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS.

PROJECT“Gen Mar” is a boat that was designed to be long, fast and with small number of sails, conceived for maximum performance in medium-light winds, without large variations in intensity – the same conditions expected at the Championships in Marciana. For this purpose, the displacement was made lighter compared to the average for the other boats, saving a few hundredweight, and the hull was designed to be as “clean” as possible, with no forcing points as dictated by rating rules. The result is a “round” boat, with a bow that is not forced and with faired buttocks, and appendages studied to reduce water friction. The detail characterising “Gen Mar” is the very wide and low cockpit, designed using ergonomic criteria to allow the crew the best possible working conditions, while maintaining the most efficient position for the trim. “Gen Mar” is the boat that marked the start of a modern era for the IOR.

Built in six layers of glu-lam wood (four internal layers in cedar and two external layers in mahogany), its sleek forms, freeboard, flush deck and oval skylights are what give “Antonisa” its early 20th century feel. Below deck, King’s design is nothing short of breathtaking: a functioning fireplace, an organ and an elliptical wooden bathtub are just some of the interior features. However, the true brilliance has been the builder’s ability to use “high tech” materials, methods and cutting-edge systems while creating a traditional cherry wood interior. Alessandro Vismara was the project’s building consultant; he was also responsible – among other things – for quality control and technical and economic congruence, the choices of suppliers and for managing relations between the designer, boatyard and owner.

AISA IS BASED ON THE BALTIC 43, THE BEST CRUISER-RACER OF ITS TIME; THIS TIME, THOUGH, OPTIMISED FOR IOR CLASS AND FROM THIS POINT OF VIEW, DESIGNED WITH THE SAME APPROACH USED FOR THE WINNING “GEN MAR” 3/4 TON.

It stands out, however, for being lighter and longer at the water line, with fewer sails, rounder sections and a low wetted surface. Every design and construction choice is aimed at optimising performance in the light wind conditions that are typical of the regatta fields in the upper Adriatic.The structure is particularly rigid and lightweight on account of the glu-lam wood and epoxy resin construction, treated in the same way as modern composites, i.e., with the number and thickness of layers orientated according to stresses. The beams and ribs are in glu-lam mahogany, while furnishings and interiors are in teak sandwich. Inside, the layout includes 3 cabins, while the deck has a double cockpit - solutions which are usually only found on larger vessels. The sail plan has been designed for IOR/IMS regattas, but also with a smaller crew in mind. ‘Aisa’ is the first cruiser-racer with 800 kg of lead in the bilge and it was Italian IMS champion in ‘92 and ‘93.

VISMARA WITHPERINI NAVI

Passion and professionalism are certainly great qualities, but without opportunities and contact with people and companies that have vision, they would just be sterile. Working alongside enlightened entrepreneurs like Fabio Perini and designing the first sail-powered mega yachts in the early 80s - models that would blaze the trail for automated sailing - has not only given us experience of the highest level, it has also taught us to believe in technology, in our ideas and in supporting these ideas with tenacity in the face of a boating world that is usually tied to its traditions. Work with Perini Navi continues today, combining the experiences of the high-tech sailing with that of large automated yachts.

Perini Navi intended to developa new series of top-performance, hi-tech yachts offering extreme comfort. The first of the new line was an elegant, cutting-edge38 mt. Vismara was responsible for creating the carbon superstructure as well as acting as consultant for the design and quality control of this new craft from Perini Navi. Alessandro Vismara’s involvement as consultant is due to the wealth of experience in designing and building hi-tech fast cruising yachts acquired by the Vismara group, especially thanks to its work in conjunction with Baltic Yachts, on the construction of the megayachts B147’ “Visione” and B152’ “Pink Gin”. Perini Navi, together with Philippe Briand, has created a yacht that is not just able to cross oceans, but also to win regattas. The craft is ultra-light, with a significant length at the water line and, with the right conditions, it can travel at 18 knots. In fact the owner intends to take part in several classical regattas, such as the St. Barth Week, the Antigua Week and the Nantucket Race Week. The hull lines have been made sleeker to achieve a water line length - which is an important factor for speed - that is as long as possible. The second factor has been to limit the maximum beam to just 8 metres. The Sealium aluminium used for the hull is ultra light and has excellent mechanical characteristics, while the equipment is in composite material, a factor that contributes to saving weight and in fact the total weight of the yacht is approx. 140 tons.

Perini Navi

The first Perini Navi craft was “Felicita”, which, after being bought by a new owner and undergoing a refit, is now called“LA NUMERO 1”.Vismara was responsible for the survey prior to its purchase, and for the cost and technical management of the purchase, but not only; it has also been responsible for:• studying the changes needed not just to renovate the yacht but

also to upgrade the craft;• design, alterations and restyling: fly bridge, Jacuzzi in the bow,

systems, engine room, propulsion, electronics;• definition of work specifications;• quality control and direction of works;• management of the customer/boat owner and the consistency

of the work in technical and cost terms;• recruitment and organisation of a new crew;• general consultancy.To sum up then, Vismara has been much more than just a consultant, it has brought this splendid craft back to life.

THE PERINI 44 AND 42 ARE THE FIRST FULLY AUTOMATED MEGA YACHTS AND THANKS TO SPECIAL WINCHES PATENTED BY PERINI NAVI AND TO SAIL WINDERS, IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A SINGLE PERSON TO CONTROL THEM WHILE SAILING, FROM A SIMPLE HELM STATION WITH PUSHBUTTON CONTROLS.DESIGNED FOR OWNERS WITH MOTOR VESSEL EXPERIENCE, THESE CRAFT COMBINE THE POWER OF ENGINE PROPULSION AND THE FITTINGS TYPICAL OF THIS TYPE OF YACHT, WITH A HULL DESIGN AND MODERN, EFFICIENT SAIL PLANS INSPIRED BY OCEAN-RACING VESSELS.CHARACTERISTICSThe boat has a ketch rig to reduce listing and guarantee the best possible sail control. The sail plan features a special sail (‘Fisherman’), a sort of upturned genoa that fills the space between the two masts, increasing thrust, thanks to the innovative track system on the mizzen masthead. Both are constructed in steel for maximum reliability, while the deckhouse is in aluminium to save weight. The Perini 25 uses the same concept as the two previous modes, but “scaled down to size”, plus the new feature of a sandwich construction in Kevlar composite. “Marina” is also the first boat to have convertible interiors: the walls of the master cabin fold away into the ceiling and the beds move to convert to two guest cabins. The outer wheel stands out for the spokes on the front of the console, leaving free access to the helm station while the interior wheelhouse is equipped to pilot the sails and the boats with a joystick. For this project, Alessandro Vismara was in charge of naval architecture and engineering.

MOTOR YACHT LINE“Vismara Motoryachts Line” represents the transfer of Vismara construction technologies and design approach from the sailing world to motor yachts. The aim of this shift towards the “motor” sector is that of designing a more marine type of hull compared to those made by the competition; what this means is

YACHTS THAT ARE ABLE TO PLANE EVEN AT REDUCED SPEEDS, AND ALSO USE ENGINES WITH LIMITED POWER ON ACCOUNT OF THE LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION.

THE VISMARA PHILOSOPHY IS EXPANDING, FROM THE SAILING YACHT INTO THE MOTOR YACHT WITH THE SAME BASIC CONCEPT. After the MY68 and MY56, now its the turn of a 43 footer, a result of the design approach and construction methods that have destinguished normaly to the Vismara high performance sailing yacht shifted into the motor yacht.

At the heart of the project, advanced technology & composites integrated with structural elements that lead to a significant reduction of displacement, 30/40%. This also significant estimated in benefits in fuel consumption and respecting the environment. Tests have shown that the Vismara motor yacht planing speed is very low compared to others in the same category. Navigating in lightweight, high performance, long distance and safety are the mile stones in form of this new 43 footer project, following the methodology that always stands Vismara. It is, therefore, a winning philosophy that express the present time and market requirements. A new way of living the navigation, that has found a consensus of public, as evidenced by the range extension.

Lightness = Less Power Needed = Less Consumption And Pollution Lightness = Low Speed While Planing = Conforth In High Sea

Vismara MY43 - specification of which has been built on the basis of the owners requests made with a sandwich structure in composites using advanced fiber unidirectional and biaxial type «e».Hull, deck, and bulkheads, after 24 hours of acclimatization at room temperature are cooked at a controlled temperature of 60 ° for 12 hours. Hull, deck and superstructure painted with epoxy high flexibility and low wight.

As the other models in the fleet Vismara, this is a yacht with a strong personality where the design reflects on a better use. Starting from the cockpit features: a large «c» sofa in the aft area and forward 2 chaise longue. In the center, a folding table in composite that can be adapted to the full couch to create a single, large sunbathing zone. Behind the driver’s a double seat (with seat back rest raised

and convertible), MY 43 has a comfortable kitchen with work surface, refrigerator, cooking area and sink. The bow area hosts the second huge storage space (the other is under the sofa), covered with costumized cushions.

The interiors construction are made of a lightweight core sandwich construction. The floor is plywood marine structures, removable for full inspection of bilge. The layout provids a living area, which is accessed by a sliding door in the cockpit.

The dinette is furnished with a large sofa that has storage areas below, and a hidden table that reises from the floore when in use. Original idea is the coffee corner with worktop / support, small pantry below and coffee machine anchored abouve. On the right side of the dinette there is the toilet, with separated shower.The open space in MY 43 completes with a great forward cabin bed furnished around with a wide left couch and cabinet on the right.

The MY 43 is powered by 2 outboard 250 hp yamaha, for a maximum speed of 42 knots and cruising speed (medium load) of 25 knots.

THE VISMARA NAVETTA IS CHARACTERIZED BY A PRECISE DESIGN EFFORT MADE TOWARDS A TOTAL ONBOARD SYSTEMS INTEGRATION FOR THE MOST USER FRIENDLY APPROACH TO SAILING, WHILE NAVIGATING AND OR MANOEUVRING IN THE PORT. This new line of motor yacht Vismara has started with the bigger sister ship navetta MY68 from which have been derived the construction technology and the hull design for the MY56.A clear example of the Vismara construction technology is the use of the advanced composites and the clever integration between furniture and styling elements together with the structure of the hull and deck that reduce in a very significant way the displacement (-30/40 %) allowing a substantial reduction dragn and power for propulsion and, therefore, the fuel consumption. Moreover and most important, the V56 can get to plane at 12 kts, that is a very low speed compared to the other yachts of this size and this is due to her lightness.

CONCEPTNavigation in lightness, high performance, long range cruising, safety and ease off handling are the characteristics that summarize the concept of this state of the art and unique Vismara MY56 navetta.The Vismara yard has in the forerunner of this guidelines stretching the boundaries of research with new concepts and trying to improve every aspect of design and construction. Typical examples are the care for the environment, the continuous research for more rational and efficient systems in order to reduce weight and simplify use, reduce maintenance and running costs for a final more freedom and range of use.

DESIGNVismara is well known for modern styling and innovation in shapes, always inspired by the global cultural changes, latest technology, new materials and new way of thinking. The application of this concepts has created a yacht characterized by a total new approach on motoring never seen on motor yachts. Lightness and speed are reached with modern materials and small engines, stylistically driven by a military concept. The white colour of the hull, however, reduces the aggressive look of the shapes and helps together with the sandwich construction to maintain an internal thermal isolation.This is a typical example of Vismara integrated design approach.

EXTERNAL LIVING ROOMThe external living room of the Navetta MY56 is characterized by a very wide dinette astern with comfortable seats and a big table. A wide sliding door gives access to the internal saloon and disappears on the side columns creating a huge single room inside-out. In the forward area the characteristic cabin design creates a very large sunbathing area, while a big locker allows the storage of all the deck equipment and the anchor system.

GALLEYThe design objective of the area was the comfortable transition between the dinette area and the internal saloon. The result is a spacious “l” shaped galley located on the port side between the internal and external dinette, equipped with two refrigerators, one freezer, induction cooking plates and many large lockers for storage.

INTERNAL DINETTEWide and roomy, it can be considered the strong point of the interiors of the MY56. The wide windows all around give maximum view during navigation and create a a saloon-on-the-sea effect. The careful design of the retractable table means it is possible to transform the dinette into a relaxation area or into a dining room for up to ten persons.

NAVIGATION STATIONCharacterised by a symmetrical geometry, the navigation station is located just in front of the saloon and benefits from a 270° view, for optimum yacht control. And due to the reverse windows, it is shaded from the sun’s rays. It is equipped with the most modern control systems and onboard monitoring displays, and interfaced with tablet for free control touch screen. The steering system is simplified by the joy-stick ips volvo control that gives an intuitive approach to the docking maneuvers.

CABINSThe sleeping quarters are located below deck and are divided into two king-sized cabins, symmetrical and both equipped with a separate shower and toilet compartment, wc + bidet and wide sinks. Every cabin is characterized by wide side windows that guarantee an exceptional sea view, allowing the guest to dream of tropical islands. A sophisticated air conditioning and a modern entertainment and video installation satisfies even the most demanding clients. In detail the layout is characterized by the master cabin, fore with full large storage areas. The guest cabin is in the middle of the yacht and uses the full beam. The crew cabin is served by a separate entrance near the engine room so that there is no interference with the guest areas.

ENGINE ROOMThe design specifications requested by the owner were to have easy access to the engines; therefore this has been located in way that it is possible to walk around them. The other systems are also located in the engine room, concentrating the weights and reducing wiring and piping. The systems include high capacity gel batteries with a 24 Volt full electrical system, a 10 kW generator and 5 kW inverter, an air conditioning system and a black water treatment system. Very large fuel tanks are a guarantee of long-range autonomy.

GARAGEA wide garage equipped with a hydraulic opening transom door allows a very easy access to the sea, and to store a very large inboard engine tender that is hauled through the use of a specially designed hydraulic gangway that disappears in the transom.

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY CONSTRUCTION AND THE INTEGRATION OF STRUCTURAL PARTS WITH ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES HAVE IN FACT MEANT A REDUCTION IN DISPLACEMENT OF 30-40%and as a result of this, a lower installed power and therefore, consumption has also been cut. MY68 is a functional craft for long navigation; it features a clean-cut modern design and entirely safe performance of the highest level, even in moderate seas.

The yacht has a sleek, aggressive profile that is the result of research into the style themes used on warships. The choice has fallen on a design line that favours balance between the hull and the superstructure, working on their respective proportions. A deep “V” hull guarantees seaworthiness. The prominent feature of the bow area is its perfectly vertical bow:one notes the high freeboard that contributes to the sleek feel of the hull while concealing the small rear deckhouse. The stern is completed with a dinette for 10 people and a very roomy sun deck. Access to interior areas is made easy with slideaway doors.A double aspect galley (towards the interior and the exterior) serves both dinettes at the same time as well as being handy as a bar unit.

The helm station area has a twin seat which is centrally positioned for 180° vision while sailing. Behind it is a small sofa for two people and another large sofa nearby for even better conviviality between the skipper and guests. This area has 360° windows to make the most of natural light and offer maximum views of the sea.The interiors below deck consist of just two cabins.

The large master cabin is located in the bow area and contains a vanity unit, TV unit, lots of wardrobe space and a double bed, behind which is a bathroom with large shower cubicle. The VIP cabin has two queen beds as well as direct access to the private bathroom.Crew quarters are located in the stern area, and can be accessed through the large hatch in the sun deck. There are two crew cabins

with shared bathroom with shower. The engine room is located between the guest cabin and the crew quarters to offer maximum privacy and independence to the two areas. The aft door has compass opening so that it can also be used as a bathing platform as well as to facilitate manoeuvres for the tender, which can be up to 3.20 m in length.

BWAVE

259

Motor Yachts

THIS IS VISMARA’S FIRST WORK IN THE MOTOR-POWERED SECTOR.IT IS A PILOT PROJECT BOTH IN TERMS OF ITS CREATION AND ALSO OF ITS PROPULSION. The concept behind the development of this boat was to bring the technological characteristics and design techniques from sail-powered and racing vessels to the world of motor-driven crafts. This includes the construction of the hull, the bulkheads and the structural systems, using GRP composites with carbon reinforcements and vacuum lamination processes using epoxy resins.

DESIGNUsing these materials and this construction system is what makes the difference: “BWave” is a an extremely lightweight craft, which can reach a speed of up to 35 knots, even when using engines that are not excessively powerful, therefore, reducing consumption and noise levels. Among other advantages, a lightweight boat can plane under less power than a heavier one ans therefore have a more pronounced “V”-shaped hull and stern, which in turn means, less impact on the waves and better sea keeping. It is a motor-driven boat for sailing in any sea conditions. It is also a craft on the cutting edge in terms of propulsion; it uses the Volvo IPS boat propulsion system and this means increased efficiency on the account of the azimuth thrusters, rotating prop stern drives. The boat can therefore turn on itself and move sideways without using a bow thruster.

INTERIOR LAYOUTThe interior layout is very specific, one aspect of this is a lack of dinette, which has been moved above deck been capable to open the side windows and hard top for a direct contact with the sea. The ultra-modern styling of the furnishings and the materials are highly reminiscent of the Vismara “sailing” style, with painted compound bulkheads and separate furnishings in teak.

INSTRUMENTSThis craft also has a computerized control system, the SCS, which makes sure that it is fully monitored by a computer when it comes to electrical equipment and navigation, communication and entertainment systems, all of which are controlled by monitor.

The layouts, inside and out, are state of the art, for a new type of boat that is somewhere between an open and a hard top. It starts with the design for an open-top craft, but it also offers the comfort, shade and protection against the elements of a hard top. This is all thanks to a full-glass, opening roof, covering an area that is not actually inside or out, but both at the same time. The design emphasis is the great comfort on deck where besides the opening roof and side windows, there is a saloon, sundeck, concealed tender and enough room for water scooter and surfboards. The service areas are inside, below deck, and are the result of a top-level design project that has aimed to enhance comfort and practical use, all combined to reveal an elegant but sporting style. Under deck there are two large double cabins, a large well-equipped galley and two bathrooms with separated showers.

RECORD 80

263

Motor Yachts

RECORD 80’ IS PROOF OF HOW A “RACING MACHINE” WITH ALL OF ITS TECHNICAL FEATURES AND LINEAR DESIGN, CAN BE TRANSFORMED INTO A COMFORTABLE CRUISING YACHT. The firm was called on to design the deck and furnishings, starting with the existing hull structure in kevlar and carbon, designed by Sandro Buzzi to break records in endurance races.

Record 80’ is one of the few examples of composite technology applied to motor-powered vessels. Vismara has transferred its own design style and more precisely, experience with the latest custom builds with structural furnishings, to fit out this motor yacht for the highest performance, with self-supporting units or units able to withstand the acceleration force, 6 times that of gravity, which this vessel with its 70 knot speed is able to reach. The deck and the stern section have been modified to create living areas and a sun deck as well as a compartment to house the tender in the stern. The helm area has also been redesigned, without altering the technical and instrumentation part and therefore, integrating the new dinette/galley area with existing structures.

In the same way that all of the interiors use the existing composite bulkheads to divide spaces, new furnishing elements are structurally integrated or bound to the hull and bulkheads. For styling to be correct and in line with the craft, exposed composite materials such as carbon or Kevlar were used, going back to concepts and techniques previously adopted on the Vismara 43 Open “Koala Hi-Tech”, whose “racer” version suggested the idea of using composite material as a furnishing elements. Lightness, simplicity and luminosity are characteristics of this project, achieved and enhanced with colours including metallic paint and technical upholstery.

THIS HAS A STYLE REMINISCENT OF THE OLD MAS MILITARY ASSAULT VEHICLES USED DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR, BUT IT IS BUILT IN COMPOSITE MATERIAL AND CARBON AND THE DESIGN IS CLEARLY INSPIRED BY THE MOTOR VEHICLE INDUSTRY. The firm has put much of the design and construction approaches used for sailing boats into the “Mas 28”. The composite construction explains the choice of starting out with a light and therefore, fast hull, overturning the general tendency for motor-powered hulls to focus on engine power to achieve top performance.

Many functional and aesthetic solutions have come from the fast cruiser world, such as the teak deck, the steel treated in such a way as to seem titanium, the retracting bathing platform, concealed sun pad and a host of other details on deck. The hull profile is also the result of combining the demands of style with the study of different geometries. The straight bow is fine and the thin water lines are obviously inspired by regatta sailboats, but also of racing motor boats.The rounded gunwale, without saddle tank helps to lower the freeboard visibly and reduce the beam in line with interior space. Many details come from the motor vehicle industry, such as the stern with its shape taken from the 1965 Porsche 956, the air intakes of the BMW Z3, the seats of the Smart, the filler caps from the Audi TT and the steering wheel from the New Beetle. The interiors have been designed with day-cruising in mind and include a double bunk, a galley area and a concealed head.

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION ARE OUR PASSIONS. USUALLY, THE VERY LATEST, ONGOING PROJECT IS THE FAVORITE, BECAUSE IT GIVES US THE CHANCE TO TRANSFER PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS TO CONTINUE WITH OUR RESEARCH AND INNOVATION. New boats come from endless hours of meeting, and ideas take shape by working with owners, based on their experience. Black and white designs are then converted to 3D color renderings, models are created and the construction proceeds using carbon fiber and prime quality woods. This is a dream that takes shape to come true. For us and for many of our owners, the construction stages are so great and so intense that they almost overshadow the taste for future navigation.

This project presents an experienced owner with a very particular taste, which after many years of sailing has decided to construct a yacht which will be dedicated to sea time quality with his family but also participating at the most prestige races such as the Rolex cup. Having also maximum comfort outside and inside, particular interiors with a very unique design, a room dedicated only for SPA, Gym, relax and sunbathing areas, for maximum pleasure and relax time. Taking also this concept further to the easy handling while sailing, which includes smart and integrated systems which can be handled by 2 persons only.

A «MINIMAL» DESIGN CREATED BY ONLY A FEW SURFACES THAT GENERATES A DECK AND CHARACTERIZED BY FLAT AREAS FOR DECK, CABIN AND SETTEES. The hull is a chained planning surface with minimum displacement and reversed bow. The interior is also minimal having only a storage compartment and no accommodations except refrigerator and coffee machine for day comfort. THE ENGINE IS AN ELECTRIC MOTOR WITH LITHIUM BATTERIES.Deck gear and deck fittings are minimal and all the metal work has been removed and substituted by composite material.Keel and rudder are made of carbon foils and hull is in full carbon construction.Sail systems are state of the art carbon mast and rigging and carbon 3DL sails. The main concept is to develop a boat where «less surfaces and less equipment generates less weight… to the extreme! To give surprising moments of pure sailing and speed also with light wind.A ‘no compromise’ day sailing speed machine!

ROUND WORLD CRUISINGVISMARA YACHTS HAS STARTED TO WORK ON A NEW PROJECT TO BUILD A 105-FOOTER, FAST CRUISING YACHT IN LIGHTWEIGHT CARBON COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION. The latest ocean cruising yacht developed by Vismara is the result of a very creative collaboration between Vismara and a very experienced owner, allready having circumnavigated the globe with his previous megayacht.This time however the idea from him was to create a yacht able to be used in «shipsharing» mode, therefore it has been designed with 4 almost identical vip suites, an area for wardrobe and after crew rooms and galley. The yacht is therefore divided in 2 zones , the service area and the accomodation area.Another very innovative solution is the external layout that is based on a recessed cockpit that allows the cabin roof to be extended over the cruising cockpit and give shelter full time to guests without the need of a bimini or a sprayhood.The navigation in extereme locations requires also the possibility of having a big tender on board for dayly explorations, this is stored in a recessed space in the foredeck as normally done on much larger megayachts.The result is a very sleek lined yacht with low cabin and a sporty style.Retractable keel for shallow draft and state of the art automated sailing systems complete the modern design.

THIS YACHT REPRESENTS THE EVOLUTION OF THE V80 SPORT IN ORDER TO SATISFY A NAVIGATION PROGRAM THAT IS LESS RACE-ORIENTATED AND FOCUSES MORE ON CHARTER AND CRUISING USE.

The helm positions and the running rigging controls have been moved aft in order to free the central cockpit and to use this space for a real deck saloon. The cockpit is protected by a big window and arranged with tables, bars and comfortable seats and also a joy-stick remote control navigation station. Between the two cock pits a wide sun bathing area protected by the bimini completes the “layback” area. The sail plan has been reduced with a classic mast and a furling boom for a total 310 m2 upwind sail area. The anchor system retracts under the hull for easy cockpit operations.The interior layout is proposed in an owner or a charter version with up to five double cabins and a crew room forward. In order to increase the internal comfort in every cabin a full dehumidifying system is provided together with a flush deck hatch and a largeside window for a better illumination and ventilation.

VISMARA MY60THE NEW DESIGN BEING DEVELOPED BY VISMARA TOGETHER WITH CANTONI, AN INNOVATIVE FAST CRUISER MOTORYACHT OF 18 METERS, WITH SLEEK LINES AND CLASSIC STYLE.

The new 60’ is not only the development on a larger scale of the allready famous MY34 from whitch it inheritates the general outlook and style, it is a new concept of «large size» fast commuter, a real cruising yacht with a lot of comforth and space inside without loosing the «daysailing» characteristics with large sunbathing areas, unclutterde decks, clean deck lines and, most important, lightness and speed. The modern advanced composites construction tecnology allows for a very light construction and therefore light displacement and small engines requirement to rach high speeds and little fuel consumption. The latest hull shape geometry developed by Vismara in the motoryacht line, allows for slow speed navigation «on plane» at only 10 knots , or high speed rough seas navigation at 25 and boost at 50 on a flat sea day. The interior offers a master cabin and 2 vip rooms all with separate toilets, plus the crew cabin, a nice dinette and galley area, tender garage and a large accessible engine room. Interiors are as beautiful as you can immagine, in teak and soft colours on a modern-classic «yacht style».

A NEW PROJECT DEVELOPED HAND IN HAND WITH THE OWNER OF THE NEW MY90 IN ORDER TO CREATE A PRODUCT WITH UNIQUE FEATURES COMBINED TOGETHER FOR A SPECIAL PERFORMANCE FOR CRUISING USING THE VISMARA FORMULA OF: ADVANCED COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION = LIGHT WEIGHT = SMALL ENGINES = LESS FUEL CONSUMPTION & NOISE WHICH PROMISE A GOOD STABILITY IN ROUGH SEA, COMFORT, LONG RANGE NAVIGATION AND SAFETY JUST AS AN EXPLORER VESSEL.

The MY90 is an evolution of the Vismara 68 Navetta, in the design and construction approach, developing it in the theme «light sailing» with precise input of its owner, who wanted unique characteristics, not present in other products on the market: maximum performance at around 35 knots for quick transfer, seaworthiness and comfort of a displacement hull, range and security of an explorer vessel. This resulted in a modern motor yacht, where technology plays a dominant role, in style Vismara. The guarantee of a high quality construction, able to maintain its value over time, completes the picture of a project not only luxurious, but anticipates the concept of yachting in the coming years. The medium-light displacement is obtained thanks to a construction with advanced composite materials and computational fluid dynamics programs for the hull design, all in order to reduce the hull resistance. It is also the first boat of this size with the «reverse bow», developed in military vessels to obtain a better penetration of the wave = more comfort while cruising in rough seas.

Extensive studies have led to an efficient propulsion through the use of ducted propeller 6 blades «high skew», rudders and side arms with propeller in hydrodynamic profiles specially designed. 1700 Hp for 2 engines, in a speed of 30 knots and a range of 1,000 miles at 25 knots cruising thanks to its light weight, the boat at only 10 knots, providing

the ability to navigate in low speed with high efficiency and low fuel consumption. The maneuverability is ensured by a modern system of bow and stern thrusters forward and backward or to spin the boat anywhere needed.

Thanks to modern integrated systems and the electronic energy management for most of the functions it is possible to feed air conditioning and all others 230v facilities just from batteries, big advantage for generator noise and ecology of use. For a further reduction in weight it is possible to use lithium batteries aesthetically, the ‘clean’ style characterized by a large deck with solutions like concealed anchor system under the hull, companionways and flush deck, retractable bollards and mooring winches hidden and walled raised without handrails, as well as a very large fly bridge, provides accommodation for a 3-4 crew members, 2 laundry rooms and aft storage with separate entrance, 2-4 vip guest cabins. The whole furnishings effect is rich and comfortable, as Vismara’s tradition, with sandwich teak paneling used also as structural panels and therefore very light.The garage allows stowage of a 4 m dinghy, while the other speed boats or jet skis can be loaded on the fly bridge thanks to the long crane arm.
