Baglietto is a name synonymous with quality and the launch of 41m superyacht FRANCESCA II from the shipyard in La Spezia, Italy showcases their pioneering yacht building expertise.
With the team from Francesco Paszkowski Design behind the exterior and interior design, plus naval architecture by Baglietto, she is a superb example of the collaborative design and build approach. The champagne-coloured hull and bold shape give her a striking profile which is further enhanced by her high level of customisation. Her impressive performance capabilities give speeds of up to 33 knots from 3 MTU 12V2000 M97 engines and the 3-hydrojet propulsion system.
The layout has been designed to the specifications of the new owner and features a sizable main deck aft with steps leading down to the swim platform and other sociable areas on the bow and flybridge. The seamless flow between the outdoor and interior spaces is achieved with aft and side deck sliding doors into the main salon lounge and dining area.
The accommodation is all on the lower deck with the master cabin amidships, the VIP forward and two convertible suites between. The crew quarters are generous and located aft of the engine room with convenient direct access to the main deck.
There are two helm stations, one forward of the main salon and the other forward on the flybridge.
Baglietto specialises in the construction of new planing aluminium yachts ranging between 38 and 50 metres in length and steel & aluminium displacement mega-yachts above 40 metres. Baglietto’s CCO Fabio Ermetto commented, – “FRANCESCA II marks another important step in our long history and confirms our world leadership in the construction of highly performant aluminium yachts above 40 metres in length”.
As the ticker tape parade came to a close, luxury yacht FRANCESCA II slipped into the water before undergoing her final testing prior to being handed over to her owner.
