Azimut will introduce the new Magellano 50 at Genoa Boat Show, which will be held from 2-10 October 2010 at Blue Hull, Green Soul, Italy. The new yacht has been designed as a new breed of sports cruiser. It is the first 50ft motor yacht that can sail continuously, and incorporates the class A homologation and the contextual Rina Green Plus class notation.
Magellano 50 offers an abundance of light and large windows throughout the lower deck. It is regarded as the first 50-footer to offer an outdoor saloon in the bow and four alternative layouts below deck. Magellano 50 is also the first craft to be fitted with the new Easy Hybrid system. The system is an exclusive project created by the Azimut-Benetti R&D department that allows a yacht to cruise at up to 8 knots using electric motors.
Magellano 50 is designed to offer a high level of eco-compatibility, safety and cruising stability in all sea conditions. Long range, easy handling and fuel efficiency, are some other characteristics of this innovative craft. The yacht displays a blend of modern style and seafaring tradition. It also has the distinction of being the world’s first shipyard to achieve RINA Green Plus notation in the mid-sized vessel segment.
The wood used on board is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified. The lower deck of the yacht allows the owner to choose between four options. The vessel can be customised offering more design options. The interior of the yacht is flooded with natural light through several openings, filtering through the exposed windscreen and large windows in every cabin.
