maltatoday, SUNDAY, 14 DECEMBER 2014 43 EVENTS AZIMUT Yachts welcomes the newest addition to their Atlantis Collection and the second in a new generation of yachts launched under the Azimut Yachts brand following the launch of the Atlantis 50 at the Cannes Yachting Festival last year. The new 43 sets new benchmarks for the market segment and is im- mediately best-in-class in the ma- jority of her feature list. Powered by Twin Volvo Penta D6-400mHp the yacht is extremely economical with preliminary seatrials showing con- sumption figures around 120litres/ hour for both engines cruising and 25/26 knots at half load and a top speed of 33/34 knots. Her all-infusion construction from hull to hardtop allows for ex- treme strength yet lightweight con- struction. The technology which is now standard across the Azimut Yachts range of Yachts allows for the extensive glass aperatures along the superstructure and shipside which were pioneered and brought to mar- ket by the Azimut Benetti Group. The infusion constructions also al- lows for the best utilisation of the hull volumes and therefore the new Atlantis 43 boats best in class head- room throughout the vessel from cockpit to master and VIP cabins. Down below the Atlantis 43 gen- eral arrangement is configured with owner cabin in the bow with an en-suite and separate full-size stand-in box shower. The aft cabin is nothing short of impressive, the volumes here coupled by the over- size hull windows place this ahead of all competitors in class with ex- tremely versatile sleeping arrange- ments; two single beds which slide across to form a full-double bed and an additional option for a third separate bed. The cabin is served by a day head which same as the owner cabin also sports a separate full size box shower. The saloon is airy with full size hull windows running along the entire shipped and illuminating a large dinette which seats six with a possible 8 with two low stools and immediately opposite is served with optional 32" A/V system and me- dia centre. The dinette also may be transformed into a bed with a filler- cushion bringing accommodation up to seven berths. The galley is roomy with ample work surfaces and a best-in-class full height fridge that one is nor- mally accustomed to find on larger 50/60foot+ models. The exterior spaces are impeccable with an attention to storage spaces maximised throughout the boat placing the Atlantis 43 best-in-class also for storage. The tender garage comfortable fits a 2.2m tender with outboard motor or alternatively may serve as a large storage bay/lazarette for those customer whom prefer to maximise tender size by storing this on the aft submersible hydrau- lic bathing platform which has now also become a standard affair on all new models lacunhed by the Azimut Benetti Group. Cockpit seating also comfortable seats 8 persons which a fold-out table which optimises spaces when travelling with less guests onboard. A fully-equipped cockpit bar allows for fridge and/or ice maker, sink and optional grill/BBQ. The overhead opening hardtop is enormous and it's ease of operation is second to none allowing an open boat feeling together with the choice of protection from the elements in hours of peak sunshine or adverse weather conditions. Visibility at the helm is superb and accentuated by the very flat angle of cruise boasted by the Atlantis 43 allowing for un- obstructed viewing both ahead and laterally during navigation. At the helm the captain may be accompa- nied by a guest and two other guests across on the forward looking bench seat which may also be converted to a chaise-lounge for more relaxed cruising and/or sunbathing. This feature is also unique to the Atlan- tis 43. The Worldwide Premiere for the Atlantis 43 is set to take place at the upcoming Boot Dusseldorf Boatshow in Germany from the 17-25 January.
