Shanghai Blunauta Yacht
CECILIA
Shangai Blunauta Yacht is a company found in 2004 by an
Italian Chinese joint venture aiming at designing and building either
sailing or motor superyachts over 40 metres in length, using above
all steel, aluminium and fibreglass. "Cecilia" is the first
newcomer from this new partnership: she is steel 52 - metre ketch
designed by Roberto Greco in collaboration with Simone Morris
featuring a classic and elegant design with a deckhouse well
fitted in the whole.
A huge sailing area over a 40 metre main mast and a 35 metre
mizzen mast, fine matching waterlines and the great wetted
surface, guaranties high performance under sail in - line with
that provided by the powerful 1.401 HP C32 Caterpillar. "Cecilia",
according to what stated by the shipyard, can reach a maximum
speed of 15 knots and a cruising speed of 13,5kn, at which she is
capable of covering 7.000 miles without stopping. RINA 100 A1.1
"Y" and Charter Class (CCL) classifications proves her building
quality and safety; in order to better comply with the rules
required, she is completely equipped for.
Concerning layouts this yacht offers a fractioned below deck that
features guests and owner's area consisting of three double and
two twin beds cabins for ten people, six bathrooms, a liveable
galley, a dinning area and service spaces. The fore end houses the
crew's quarter for eight people divided into four cabins each with
its private bathroom. The deck distinguishes itself by an
impressive balance between internal and external living areas:
inside the deckhouse there are huge spaces fitted up for relax and
entertaining, a dinning area and the inner wheel - house, as well.
The cockpit features a dinette with seatings and tables and the
external wheel - house. The transom area nestles one of the two
tenders, the other being hoisted in a garage recessed in the fore
extension of the superstructure: both tenders are by Castoldi, an
Italian firm that suggests RIB with waterjet propulsion usually
founded on board such yachts.
