AZIMUT 105'
Together with the famous designers Stefano Righini and Carlo
Galeazzi the Azimut yard designed a new 105' motor yacht that
positions herself just between the 98' Leonardo and the 116'
flagship. The new 105' is a semi-gliding yacht whose
characterizing, very fast bottom, designed in conjunction with
Sydac, has a deep Vbow with deadrise of 10.5'.
In designing interior the architect Righini wanted to interpreter
his own concept of a yacht open to the sea and to the all - round
- view drawing up this 105' with giant outside areas and wide side
windows wrapping around both the decks. Outside the spacious areas
are emphasized by the flybridge layout featuring four areas
conceived for relaxing, dinning and conversation. Moreover, still
on the same bridge aft of them there are sunpads for sunbathing
with chaise longue and hydro-massage tub.
Interior, whose décor is by Carlo Galeazzi, features the
same décor subjects as the new Azimut 75'has and is
characterized in way that furniture are not bonded to the floor,
as onboard the most yachts on the market is, but separated from it.
All this is in order to underline the idea of creating yachts as
ideal extension of owner's house or flat. Furniture is in satin
cherry with orthogonal veneers giving the whole an impressive
three - dimensional look. The curtains lap the floor and the
simply, square - designed ceilings recall the same fine - looking
effects of the furniture.
Lighting, guaranteed by day by wide wraparound windows, is
provided at night by diffusion spotlights covered by wood panels.
Taps and accessories are square-shaped as the today's trend likes.
Interior layout is available in two versions: the first of them
features an owner's suite aft on the main deck and four guest
cabins on the lower one.
The second layout features a whole sleeping area stretching along
the lower deck while on the main deck there is the living quarter
with galley, saloon and dining area. The first launching is set
for late spring, while the second units to be put on the U.S.A
market will be introduced in 2006 at the Miami Boat Show.
