MILONGA 35
Perhaps the skills of German Frers - a designer well used to the most extreme of sailing boat lines - were really needed to bring life to this super tender with a completely open transom. And, on closer examination, the whole profile of Milonga 35 seems to derive from one of his admired sloops. From the moment the famous artist from Buenos Aires met with his Swedish colleague Ocke Mannerfelt - specialist in off shore competition hulls - a hull was created that will prove to be outstanding.
TECHNICAL DATA |
The name Milonga, not by chance taken from an
Argentinean tango term, highlights its lively,
brilliant, almost passionate character. A boat, in
fact, that guarantees a maximum speed of 45 knots
with a milder engine plant compared to those
available (a pair of Volvo Penta D6 310 Diesel) and
more than 60 knots with the more exuberant ones (a
pair of petrol Mercruisers with 435 hp each), has
to be dedicated to those who love exciting
experiences. It is the practical, linear,
minimalist fittings that further distinguish this
hull from most of the super-motorised missiles that
- let's be honest - often sacrifice a great deal of
comfort in order to produce breathtaking
performance. You are instantly struck by the
constant quota, for example, of all the surface
areas that can be treaded across - from the
extremity of the bow to the stern platform - that
represents an extremely important practical factor
for the most common bathing activities. It is,
therefore, a top class tender, capable of quickly
and safely connecting the anchored mother boat with
dry land, but also an "open" capable of comfortably
carrying guests to the cove of their choice for a
swim or sandbank to scuba dive. On the subject of
prominent use, the Milonga - developed in
Argentina, at the Frers family shipyard and
completed in Italy by skilled fitters - can be
vastly personalised, to the extent that it becomes
a small cabined boat. The standard layout foresees
a central consol, with wc inside the wheelhouse,
six anatomical forward facing armchairs and the
driver's seat.
