PERFORMANCE
SEA AND WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING BOAT TESTING
Wind: NW 35 knots
Sea: SE swells
PERFORMANCE (with three passengers on board, fuel tank 1/3 full, water tank 2/3 full, yacht launched a month before)
Time needed to reach planing speed: 11 seconds; the tested boat showed quite a delay in responding to the electronic gear levers
Minimum planing speed at 1,300 rpm's: 14 knots
Maximum speed at 2,400 rpm's: 35.5 knots
Cruising speed at 2,200 rpm's: 31.3 knots
Seakeeping ability: good, the boat followed the heading and sailed without bumping on the SE swells (the photograph was not taken during sea trials!); corrections with flaps were minimal and at 35 knots one hardly felt to be sailing at this high speed. The yacht had little leeway and a clean rooster tail
Wheel response: excellent; hydraulic type steering wheel, the complete rudder angle is done by turning a few times the wheel thus allowing small precise turns Helm station: excellent visibility from a standing position (the armchair has an adjustable seatback)
Docking maneuverability: very good. With a simple rotation of the pushbutton of the optional joystick the pilot may control the bow and stern propellers as well as the engines. The maneuver is further facilitated by docking sensors.
EVALUATION OF COMFORT AND FUNCTIONALITY
Main deck: the most important areas are located on the main deck of this radiant yacht, as well as the two sunning areas forward and astern that welcome the guests with clear fabrics and ergonomic details (glass holders, grab rails, etc.). The side decks are protected and easily accessible; the settees and teak dining table in the cockpit offer comfortable seating for 6-7 persons
Interiors: the salon is bright and cozy and the settees are ideally designed for 6 persons around the refined crystal glass table
Passengers' comfort: good with refined interiors. When the hard top is open one has the feeling of having the sky just above one's own head
Galley: the idea of keeping the galley separate from the staterooms and salon is excellent; the rational design, the pan holders and the efficient extractor are an indication that the galley is really meant cooking. Bathrooms: comfortable, with ample shower stalls, cabinet and sinks in tempered glass. The drainage system of sewage and wastewater with relative tanks is accurately designed and fitted.
Engine room access and operation: access door and ladder on the cockpit floor; soundproofing is good and all controls are easily accessible
Electrical switchboard and plants: low voltage 24V plant with independent generating set for 12V; battery switchboard and fire-fighting control in the cockpit locker; main switchboard with magnetic switches in the engine room for appliances needing both 220V and 24V, the switchboards for each area are in the galley and the individual switches for services are in the helm station dashboard.
