Azimut Seadeck 6
REVIEWS begin with the upscale Italian shipyard’s environmentally-conscious values, expressed by this 60-footer – the first in a new series that is to include 70ft and 90ft models – and appearing at Cannes Yachting Festival next week, along with the Seadeck 7.
Swan 108
We then review Finnish builder Nautor Swan’s latest Maxi model to hit the water – the Swan 108 – which merges comfortable family cruising, excellent bluewater seakeeping and racing prowess.
