THE Ferretti 450 يتيريف توخي The new flybridge was admired by top international players in the boating industry, as the stylish yacht went on display at the 2016 edition of Nautic - Salon Nautique de Paris. Hadag explores the beautiful vessel…

rom the width of the hull and geometrical volumes to the elegance of the interior and its functionality, the unmistakable style of the Ferretti Yachts 450 was in full eyecatching power at the 2016 edition of Nautic. The protagonist of the show marks the brands entry into the strategic sector of yachts between 40 and 50 feet long.

This vessel is another feat in the world of luxury yachts for the Ferretti Group. The exquisitely designed flybridge is appointed with classic yacht styling while still offering a few modern touches to keep it relevant to the 21st century yachter. It measures a lavish 46.7 feet LOA and is powered by twin v-drive Cummins QSB 6.7 engines (425hp-480hp), capable of topping 30 knots – how’s that for on-sea performance?

The Ferretti Yachts 450 was designed to inspire new owners and take everyone else by surprise.

The ample floor plan on this beautifully appointed vessel includes two staterooms, two heads and the option of removing one head and converting it into a double bunk-style stateroom for the kids. Its elegant salon layout includes a galley aft, with easy access to the outdoor cockpit and seating where you can enjoy the fresh breeze while out on the waters.

One of the many reasons why you should choose to sail in the new Ferretti Yachts 450 is because it was designed and built specifically with the idea of inspiring new owners and taking everyone else by surprise.

All of Ferretti Yachts’ boating heritage and construction know-how has been put into this beautiful ocean machine, in order to stay ahead in the 40 to 50-foot market with a yacht that is innovative and enthralling at the same time. With its sporty lines and abundance of natural light in the living areas, the Ferretti Yachts 450 exploits the contrast of materials and colours on board, creating a sophisticated dialogue between the veneers, lacquered surfaces and ample use of textiles.

The yacht is the outcome of the collaboration between Ferretti Group’s Product Strategic Committee, the Group’s Engineering Department – that supervised the technical and naval engineering – and Studio Zuccon International Project, who designed the exteriors and interiors.

The yacht made its official debut at the 2016 Cannes Yachting Festival, followed by an exciting appearance at the 2016 edition of Nautic in Paris, where it was awarded second place for best design for motor boats at the Nautic Design Awards, the competition organised by the trade exhibition, in cooperation with the French nautical magazines Moteur Boat and Neptune.

The Ferretti Yachts 450 will also be present in Düsseldorf at the BOOT 2017, the largest German trade show dedicated to boating and water sports, to be held from the January 21 to 29.

The unmistakable style of the Ferretti Yachts 450 was nominated for the Nautic Design Awards.

The first carbon Sunreef 74 has revealed its elegant design, Hadag takes a closer look… iana is the most technically advanced edition of the Sunreef 74 ever built. She is the first to feature a carbon superstructure, deck and flybridge within this successful range prized with the Asia Pacific Boating 2015 award. At the same time, she remains a luxury yacht offering a supreme level of comfort and a custom-tailored design. www.sunreef-yachts.com

A soothing atmosphere reigns in the boat’s relaxing lounging spaces, perfect for family cruising. Diana’s vast saloon combining shades of oak, beige and white, offers plenty of space to enjoy life onboard.

The bow part of the room features a bar with a panoramic view to the sea and the interior navigation station. Two generous lounge and dining areas, with big sofas are placed by the yacht’s large sliding door opening wide onto the generous cockpit for a superyacht feel of spaciousness.

Diana’s layout comprises two identical mid-ship guest cabins, both featuring double beds, ample storage and spacious private bathrooms with a contemporary mosaic tile finishing.

Two more equally-sized guest cabins are placed symmetrically in the bow part of each hull. They both feature large double beds and clever storage but also open onto to the forepeaks fitted with single beds - a flexible and charter-friendly layout solution.

Diana’s project outline and spec list had very detailed and complex build requirements; the extensive use of carbon fibre has unburdened the weight of the yacht’s long list of equipment, which includes a Jacuzzi and two tenders, and has also helped to increase Diana’s performance.

The Artemis symbol on the yacht’s sail represents Diana, the Goddess of the Hunt, which is a direct reflection of the vessel’s character. Equipped with state-of-the-art sailing gear, she is the outwardly ambitious and adventurous type.

All sails can be easily controlled from the superior helm station, making the boat suited for single-handed operation.

Diana has everything she needs to conquer the world’s oceans. Her rigging includes a carbon mast and an in-boom furling system. The main navigation station is equipped with touchscreens enabling automatic sail adjustments coupled with load sensors to prevent winch, hardware and rig overload (for those who might be worried about accidental or uncontrolled gybe). These solutions provide a redundant, easy and safe control of the sails and rig.

With carbon bodywork elements and cutting edge rig, Diana is a stately sail catamaran offering all the luxury and comfort that you could wish for, without compromising the performance.
