BLUEGAME: FOR TRUE SEA LOVERS
“The determination of a new type, of a new kind of product, is a process that not only flows from the creativity and soul of the designer but is also the result of an evolution of the environment in which the phenomenon takes place.
To be able to give life to a new concept, it is essential to perceive the evolution of taste and costumes and give it a body and a form. #bluegame is achieving this result.
What are #bluegame yachts? Open boats? Fishermans? Fast commuters? Chase boats? Day cruisers? Walk around? #bluegame yachts are a cultural, functional and morphological synthesis of different types of boats that merge into a form never seen before, the Sport Utility Boats”.
LUCA SANTELLA (Founder of Bluegame)
Born from the deep experience in the sector of its founder Luca Santella, the Italian shipyard #bluegame specializes in the construction of a new kind of multifunctional boats called “Sport Utility”.
Luca Santella, architect and Olympic sailing champion, designed an original never-seen-before motoryacht for the owner of the 50’ sailing boat he was skippering. It was a one-of-a-kind very original project, totally far from any traditional known shape, out of the ordinary, full of ideas, stylistic and functional innovations, new forms and original suggestions for life on board.
The boat in a single example, called Luja 55’, had appeared at the Monaco #yacht Show and was published by all the major boating magazines and had aroused some curiosity to the most attentive observers of nautical facts. One of the most attentive was Carlo C. Bonomi, who had seen the boat in a magazine.
Entrepreneur, offshore champion, financier, with vast economic interests in Spain and Italy, majority shareholder of Seatek the Italian company that produces the only high performance diesel engines designed specifically for yachting, he contactedSantella to deepen the outlines of that boat and decidedto start with him a production. In this way #bluegame was born.
From the original design, with the help of Louis T. Codega, better known as Lou, a well reputed naval engineer, designer of many successful hulls among which the typical deep V Carolina style fishermans, the Cabo 45 and the Blue Ribbon Trophy record winner 222’ Destriero built by Fincantieri and patronaged by Gianni Agnelli and Prince Karim Aga Khan, #bluegame developed its first model, a 47’.
The first of a kind of new generation of yachts born for the Bluegamers.
In 2018 a new chapter of #bluegame story started with the entry of Sanlorenzo in the shareholding of the company.
MAIN FEATURES AND PERFORMANCE
Volumes, spaces, ergonomic, practical life onboard are well conceived by Santella, an architect who is at the same time an expert sailor with a wide experience of seamanship. Seaworthiness is guaranteed by a naval architect with the widest experience in any kind of hull. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is helping the naval engineers to optimise the specific hull design of each model, in term of weight balance, of distribution of weights and volumes, in order to obtain always the best performance.
The quality of the #bluegame hull design, which inherits its characteristics from the typical cold moulded Carolina style Lou Codega design fisherman, obtains that the #bluegame range is able to face the most severe sea conditions with maximum comfort and in total safety. The sturdy construction, the well balanced centre of gravity, thanks to the light construction of the superstructure made in carbon fibre, the well protected steering position, make the #bluegame all-round boats.
The designers’culture and the passion of the sea give life to a range of boats with a fast planning hull with variable deadrise that powered with the Volvo Penta IPS power train can easily cruise over 30 knots and provide extremely easy maneuverability. #bluegame boats have a continuous perimeter fender in internal foam elastomer that allows to approach without fear and without damage to pontoons, piers, or other boats, even more facilitated by the very easy to manoeuvre IPS system joystick that allows to move the boat in any direction.
Bluegame boats have large and well protected sidewalks and a high enough bulwark to let the children run around in complete safety.
