Baglietto chose Portofino to present the first T52 to be built. The Francesco Paszkowski-designed steel and aluminium displacement model is Baglietto’s first hybrid yacht and a huge success. The eight unit has been recently sold: a sparklingly stylish modern creation with slender, sinuous lines that both reveal Baglietto’s contemporary soul and pay homage to its tradition. The result is an elegant beauty with oodles of personality. Baglietto’s new signature open transom spread
over three levels sets the tone as does a large pool with an ingenious up-down floor for extra deck space when required. Wide full-height windows on three sides of the upper deck create an airy lounge that can be used in good weather and bad.
The 24m-long sun deck offers unparalleled space for a craft of this size, in a nod to Baglietto’s traditional displacement craft. Twin Cat C32s give a cruising speed of 11 knots, topping out at 16. www.baglietto.com
