Azimut Yachts at the 55th Genoa Boat Show

This is the 3.0 revolution of the Flybridge Collection by Azimut Yachts. In 2013 with its Azimut 80 the Italian
boatyard had come up with a complete new vision of the classic flybridge model. Then, in 2014, it applied the
same successful style solutions to its Azimut 50 model and today with the brand new Azimut 72 it is taking
another step forward by marrying this elegant yet revolutionary style with state‐of‐the‐art construction
techniques.
The 72 model combines two state‐of‐the‐art construction techniques. The hull and the deck are entirely
made out of moulded fibreglass while the deckhouse and flybridge are made out of pure carbon fibre. This
new production choice leads to a considerable reduction in weight, close to 30%, which can be exploited to
obtain more extensive deck surfaces and greater internal volume, while maintaining the same displacement
as its competitors in the same category.
From a general point of view, the designer Stefano Righini, sums up the design effort made on the concept
for this new model: "The new 72 has been designed by researching and fulfilling certain specific objectives:
achieving the greatest possible internal volumes in keeping with the ergonomic standards, emphasizing the
role of light both in the main salon and below deck without sacrificing the enjoyment of the exterior spaces.
The strength of the 72 lies mainly in its capacity to marry a balanced form with the kind of style research that
guarantee the best relationship between the design of the exteriors and the enjoyment of the internal
spaces. A strength that draws added energy from the product's spiritual levity alongside that of the materials
used, ensured by the use of materials such as carbon fibre and the quest for the ultimate in hydrodynamic
performance".
The world première will take place at the Cannes Boat Show from 8 to 13 September 2015.
The new Azimut 72 has been entirely designed and built in the Avigliana boatyard in collaboration with
Stefano Righini, who developed the model's general concept and the style of the exterior while Carlo
Galeazzi took care of the interior design. Like every other Azimut branded Yacht, the 72 also has the clear
intent of representing the model of reference for its own segment in terms of volumes, rational use of space,
elegance and performance. Two main elements have driven the project's development: an eye for its
proportions and the innovative level of the construction techniques used in order to achieve a very sporting
exterior line without limiting the interior volume.
With a length of 22.60 metres and a berth of 5.60 metres, the layout includes 4 cabins, all with en suite
bathrooms, one of which is the yacht's master cabin also with en‐suite bathroom and the typical full glass
vertical window openings, allowing a total of 8 guests.
The flybridge is vast, over 37 square metres, designed for maximum versatility in terms of usage. The main
deck ranges out over a single level from the cockpit to the stairs leading to the lower deck, without any steps
or changing levels, with an extensive relaxation area, an open space kitchen and a double seat wheelhouse.
The style of the interiors, completely renovated to give this new version a very strong character, come either
in bleached oak and glossy Ebony essence, or in natural heat‐treated oak essence and precious glossy
Sycamore. Careful planning of the lighting design has enabled all fixtures to be completely encased in the
ceilings and furnishings.
The performance of the 72 model, with two MAN V12 engines each producing 1400 HP, perfectly matches
the craft's sporting character. The cruising speed stands at 26 knots, while the top speed, according to the
boatyard's project data, reaches 31 knots.
