CNL - ADMIRAL 31
The Admiral 31 ship with its clean cut lines has the
particular characteristic of being entirely built of
aluminium, a metal that adapts well to nautical purposes
thanks to its mechanical features, resistance to
corrosion and easy handling. The internal elegance of
Admiral 31, the care taken with detail and the pleasant
layout of space, make it an excellent product that
contributes to reinforcing the Italian shipyards' good
reputation.
Let's look at the main parts of the ship:
the cockpit, vast and decked in teak just like the whole
external bridge, hosts a dining area with table and
chairs in synthetic rattan. There is an extremely wide
stairway that leads from the cockpit to the fly bridge.
Featuring an open, uncluttered space, there is a lounge
with table, sofa, pouffe and sun lounger towards stern,
a galley unit on port side and external wheelhouse at
starboard. A large section roll bar holds up the aerials
for the navigation and telecommunication apparatus as
well as the lights. The walkways on the main bridge are
wide and easily passable and the area at bow is well
organised and equipped for mooring. From the large open
bathing platform, the garage, that can hold a tender of
4.5m, can be accessed through the opening of the transom
(there is another garage for jet-skis at bow). Let's
move on to the interiors: the lounge, going in through
the cockpit, appears to be an extremely large, bright
open space furnished in modern minimalist style with
three sofas, table and pouffe and glass dining table
with armchairs. White, brightness and elegance are
apparent everywhere: polished ceilings and walls,
leather and upholstery. In contrast and leit motiv are
the Cs in dark wood that surround the dining table and
beds. The carpet is a warm hemp colour. Apart from the
custom made furniture, the ornaments and furnishings are
all, of course, from top designers. There are 4 cabins,
two double and two twin: the owner's cabin is located on
the main bridge while the others are on the lower cabin
bridge. Naturally, they all have their own bathroom
with separate shower. The layout of the galley is
unusual, located on the lower bridge with an annex area
for the crew, that includes two twin cabins and a double
for the captain. The wheelhouse, upholstered in burgundy
coloured leather is located above the galley on the
upper bridge. Once again the Cantieri Nautici di Lavagna
has managed to combine high technology, the performance
of a good hull and the ergonomics of space with style
and elegance that makes their work exceptional.
