COLOMBO 24 m
The motor yacht being offered by the Fratelli Rossi shipyard, called
the "Colombo 24M", is a classic of its kind, with a round stern and
soft lines. The shipyard has in mind principally those owners in
search of an easy, comfortable boat, spacious enough to host up to ten
people, plus a crew of two.
The boat is built of steel, with lightweight superstructure, and CAD
technique has been used for its design . "Colombo 24M" has been built
meeting EEC regulations. It will be powered by two 400-HP
Caterpillar engines, with which this motor yacht will be able to
cruise uninterruptedly for more than five days, hence reducing the
number of refuelling stops required. The sleeping arrangements consist
of four large cabins, two of which are full-sized.
The owner's cabin is in the stern, equipped with an office corner,
private bathroom with separate toilet and plenty of space. Amidships,
there are two other cabins, for guests, both with twin beds and
private bathrooms.
Forward, there is another double cabin, also very spacious and
equipped with a private bathroom. Foremost, the crew quarters, with
two berths (in a "V") and private bathroom. The crew quarters have
independent access so not to interfere with the onboard life of the
owner and guests.
On the main deck, in the stern area of the superstructure, we find the
saloon, equipped with two L-shaped sofas and coffee tables, armchair,
cocktail cabinet and numerous accessories for relaxation. Still on
this deck, amidships, the galley, with a small relaxation area for the
crew astern.
This deck is slightly raised and, thanks to its large windows, offers
excellent visibility. Forward on the deck, we find the spacious dining
area offering an appealing, panoramic view toward the prow. The fly is
very spacious, with the tender stowed astern, positioned in a
specially designed space and equipped with a davit.
On the fly, towards the prow, there are two long sofas fore-and-aft, a
large sundeck, cocktail cabinet, mast for the electronic-equipment
aerials and, forward to starboard, the open-air control station with
all of the steering-equipment repeaters. For those who love to be in
the open air while sailing, the cockpit is the perfect spot, with its
two sofas and coffee tables, and a stern extension of the fly,
ensuring great comfort.
A classic yacht that is, at the same time, very carefully thought-out,
and in which the rounded shapes and intelligently arranged volumes
create excellent spaces that serve well even during demanding cruises.
Comfort and safety, hand-in-hand.
