Ferretti Group’s participation at the second China International Consumer Products Expo featured the Riva 180th Anniversary VIP Reception, highlighted by the preview of the new Anniversario yacht and scale models of three new superyachts: the wallywhy200, Pershing GTX116 and Riva 50 Metri.

 

Represented by staff from Ferretti Group and local dealer Speedo Marine, the Group’s first participation at the Expo held the Riva 180th Anniversary VIP Reception cocktail at the public dock of Haikou National Sailing Center where VIPs included Haikou City officials, show organisers and industry partners.

 

The event included a screening of Riva: The Persuaders!, with David Beckham, Charles Leclerc and Pierfrancesco Favino starring in the action-packed, three-minute film inspired by the classic TV series, The Persuaders!

 

 

As the cocktail moved to its climax, the Anniversario – a yacht produced exclusively for Riva’s 180th anniversary – was slowly unveiled on the huge screen. The yacht was launched to pay tribute to Riva Aquarama, its iconic predecessor launched in 1962.

 

Fabiomassimo Discoli, Sales and Marketing Director of Ferretti Group Asia Pacific, said: “This is a night dedicated to Riva’s 180th anniversary, a time to toast Riva and its Chinese partners. We choose to hold our anniversary at this Expo because Hainan is China’s yacht mecca and the wind vane of China’s yacht culture. The island has been leading the trend of China’s yacht market just like our brand, which lives in a harmonious ecological system surrounded by flowing water, art and aesthetics.

 

“On this occasion, I would like to thank all our Chinese friends for your constant support for Ferretti Group and Riva, and to launch a new limited edition Riva yacht, Anniversario. In the future, Riva will begin to write a new 180-year chapter in the history of global shipbuilding.”

The Amels 80 has a length of 80m (261ft), a volume of 2,175 GT and features exterior design by Espen Øino, interiors by Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design and naval architecture by Damen Yachting.

 

Adriaan Roose, Amels’ Product Manager

 

Amels says the yacht has the largest top deck in her class, while there’s accommodation for up to 14 guests and 20 crew plus captain.

 

Adriaan Roose, Product Manager Amels, said: “Every new yacht challenges us to push the limits of our absolute mastery. Decades of Amels pedigree, experience and knowhow have fed the creation of the Amels 80.”

Azimut has launched hull one of the Grande 36 Metri in Viareggio ahead of the model’s world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, where it will debut alongside the Grande 26 Metri and Magellano 30 Metri.

 

The 36 Metri is the second-largest model in Azimut’s range and like the 38m Trideck launched last year, it also features exterior styling by Alberto Mancini and interior design by Achille Salvagni.

 

Among notable to features are a semi-walkaround upper deck, which runs on the same level from the stern almost to the tip of the bow, which “revolutionises the traditional layout and creates an area that didn’t exist before on boats this size,” according to Azimut.

Furthermore, the windows in the skylounge can open completely and slide out of view, transforming the upper deck into a huge space from which to enjoy 360-degree views.

 

The Grande 36 Metri is part of Azimut’s Low Emission Yacht range due to its high-efficiency D2P® Displacement-to-Planing hull designed by Pierluigi Ausonio Naval Architecture with the shipyard’s research and development office, plus the extensive use of carbon-fibre to reduce the weight of the superstructure.

 

Azimut states that these factors help reduce CO2 emissions by 15-30 per cent, at both slow cruising and high speeds, compared to boats of the same weight and size with a traditional chine hull.

Celebrating its 180th anniversary, Riva has launched the largest model in its flybridge range.

 

Riva, Bellissima, Ferretti Group, Flybridge, launch, American, Mauro Micheli, Officina Italiana Design, Ferretti Group, Strategic Product Committee, Piero Ferrari, Engineering Department, Alberto Galassi

The 130’ Bellissima is Riva’s largest Flybridge model

 

Riva has launched the first 130’ Bellissima at its La Spezia yard. The yacht has been sold to an American owner and is the largest model in the builder’s Flybridge range, which also includes the 90’ Argo, 102’ Corsaro Super and 110’ Dolcevita.

 

The 130’ Bellissima is the first planing flybridge in Riva’s range to extend across three full decks, with a full-widebody design, while remaining under 300GT.

 

The 40m yacht with an almost 8m beam is the brainchild of Mauro Micheli, co-founder of Officina Italiana Design, which has designed all Riva’s yachts since 1994, and was developed with Ferretti Group’s Strategic Product Committee led by Piero Ferrari and its Engineering Department.

 

Alberto Galassi, CEO of Ferretti Group, said: “Riva Bellissima is a superlative boat, in both name and fact. As the new flagship in the flybridge range, she has all my admiration and enthusiasm.

 

“This is a magical year for Riva. Our yards are all in a state of grace and the results are there for everyone to see: beautiful boats, ecstatic owners. When you see a Riva cruising on the water, a Riva Bellissima, everything stops and you can pause the world to enjoy a tailor-made miracle, an aesthetic experience that words can’t describe.”

The exterior styling features carbon-fibre, steel and glass. The windshield is made with spherical crystals and features the typical counter-curvature, while the hull window design is based on a black line that runs along the silvery side of the boat and rises towards the deck.

 

Extensive glazed surfaces allow natural light to illuminate the interiors of the main and upper decks and offer magnificent panoramic views. The main saloon features glass and polished rosewood, and has ceilings over 2m high. The master suite is on the main deck, while there are four en-suite cabins and a large lobby on the lower deck.

 

The exteriors introduce a new concept for the stern area, which is divided into a large beach club and a generous cockpit, offering over 60sqm of liveable space. A jet-ski, tender and Seabob are stored in the port hull side.

 

On the upper deck, the aft outdoor area is set up as a dining area seating 10, while the side walkways create two closed, private balconies. The sun deck offers further outdoor space for guests.

 

Riva 130’ Bellissima is powered by twin MTU engines rated 2,638mph each, giving her an estimated top speed of 26 knots and a cruising speed of 23 knots.

Qingdao wins Clipper Race


Qingdao has won the Clipper 2019-20 Race, after over 40,000nm, six ocean crossings and eight legs. The Clipper 2019-20 Race started in London in September 2019 and after a two-year pause at its halfway point due to the global pandemic, restarted from the Philippines in March this year.

 

Skippered by Chris Brooks, Qingdao has been the team to beat from early in the circumnavigation and scored a total of 145 points, 10 clear of Punta del Este. The team won five races in the 2019-20 edition, more than any other team, and was also on the podium eight times in 14 races. 

 

Leaving Derry-Londonderry for Race 15, Qingdao was nine points clear and placed third to cement victory. The team also won the most Scoring Gate points in the 11 months of racing, taking 14 coveted bonus points.

Che Jinghua, Director General of Qingdao Municipal Sports Bureau, Secretary General of Qingdao Major International Sailing Events (Festivals) Organising Committee, sent a congratulatory message to the Qingdao team.

 

“We are very glad to learn that Qingdao has won the Clipper 2019-20 Race. Hereby, I would like to express our warm congratulations to Skipper Chris and all the crew members,” Che wrote.

 

“You have overcome numerous difficulties, fought against the waves, conquered the challenges of the whole race and won the final victory. You have shown the world the great charm of Qingdao as a vibrant ocean city and a liveable and lovable city with your remarkable performance.”

Punta del Este, skippered by Jeronimo Santos Gonzalez, moved into second position overall after the previous sprint across the North Atlantic. Like Qingdao, Punta del Este was in the lead pack of Race 15, coming fourth in the final stage and cementing its second place in the Clipper 2019-20 Race standings with 135 points. 

 

Jeronimo Santos Gonzalez, the first Spanish Skipper to compete in the Clipper Race, led his team with the spirit of Punta del Este, the city and yacht club it represented on the global route.

 

The team, known for its loud and enthusiastic approach to sailing but always with a firm competitive edge, won the very first race of the circumnavigation and went on to secure six podium positions overall. Regularly the fastest yacht in the Dell Latitude Rugged Ocean Sprints, Punta del Este gained more Ocean Sprint bonus points than any other team (22 points).

The Italian builder will debut the S7 sports yacht model at the 2023 edition of the Boot Dusseldorf indoor show in Germany.

The S7 has an Alberto Mancini exterior

 

Azimut will stage the world premiere of the S7 at Boot Dusseldorf from January 21-29, 2023. The 71-footer features exterior design by Alberto Mancini and will join the S6, S8 and Grande S10 in the Italian builder’s sports yacht series. 

 

“The new model is the sports boat with the most technologically advanced naval architecture in the category, significantly reducing fuel consumption on one hand while offering more living space on the other,” Azimut says.

 

A more compact IPS triple propulsion system and a hull designed by Azimut’s technical team, in partnership with Volvo engineers, improves fuel efficiency, while the use of carbon-fibre also helps reduce overall weight and increase volume without affecting stability.

Azimut says such features reduce fuel consumption by up to 30 per cent at medium and high speeds, while providing sufficient surface area to offer a generous layout including a large lower deck with five cabins and a garage for two water toys. The main deck is designed around outdoor and indoor lounge areas and a spacious galley.

 

Azimut is represented in Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong, Taiwan and Singapore by Marine Italia.
