Alle 17:08 ora locale di domenica 15 maggio, con un tempo reale di 22 ore e 38 minuti, Giovanni Soldini e l’equipaggio di Maserati Multi70 tagliano per primi il traguardo della 67a edizione della Regata dei Tre Golfi, organizzata dal Circolo Remo e Vela Italia con il patrocinio della FIV e in collaborazione con Yacht Club Italiano, Reale Yacht Club Canottieri Savoia, IMA, ORC, UVAI, AIVE. A condividere il grande risultato insieme a Soldini, l’equipaggio di 6 velisti composto da Guido Broggi, Oliver Herrera Perez, Thomas Joffrin, Francesco Pedol, Alberto Riva, Gianluigi Ugolini. “E’ stata una regata davvero bellissima e per prima cosa vorrei fare i complimenti a tutto l’equipaggio di Mana da parte di tutta la squadra di Maserati Multi70. I nostri avversari sono stati proprio forti e ci hanno dato filo da torcere. Ci siamo alternati al comando della flotta per quasi tutta la gara. Il vento era poco e le insidie erano tante. La situazione si è decisa nel canale di Capri dove tenendoci più alti abbiamo guadagnato un vantaggio che poi ci ha permesso di tagliare il traguardo in testa. Una grande emozione, una grande soddisfazione!” Con queste parole Giovanni Soldini commenta il risultato pochi minuti dopo l’arrivo a Capri, che insieme alle isole di Procida, Ischia, Ventotene, Ponza e Li Galli è stato lo spettacolare scenario di un duello tattico con l’avversaria Mana di Roberto Pavoncelli (skipper Paul Larsen). I due trimarani, in assetto MOD 70, hanno navigato affiancati per quasi tutto il percorso di 150 miglia nei tre golfi di Napoli, Gaeta e Sorrento. La regata, per la classe dei multiscafi è partita il 14 maggio 2022 alle ore 18:30 ora locale dalla rada di Santa Lucia davanti Castel dell’Ovo. La navigazione, fin dalla linea del via ha sfidato un sistema di alta pressione caratterizzato da calme piatte e regimi di brezza. Proprio a causa della prevalenza di venti leggeri, il percorso dei multiscafi che inizialmente avrebbe dovuto estendersi fino a Santa Maria di Castellabate, è stato riadeguato dal Comitato di regata e allineato alla rotta tradizionale, con ultima boa a Li Galli. Maserati Multi70 ha partecipato alla TRE GOLFI per la prima volta. #MaseratiMulti70 #TreGolfiSailingWeek Sito web: https://maserati.soldini.it/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovannisoldini/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giovanni_soldini/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/giovannisoldini/

Discover the Granocean W-60 | Luxury Power Catamaran Yacht Learn more here: https://catamaranguru.com/gran-ocean-power-catamarans/ Working with Stimson Marine, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is employed to study hull variations to arrive at most suitable final form. And is further used for individual load cases in customized layout designs. Howard Apollonio has drawn up outstanding semi-planing hull lines to achieve excellent sea keeping, long range efficency at low speeds and great planing characteristics at high speeds. Welcome to a behind-the-scenes tour at Granocean Shipyards, where craftsmanship and engineering meet in the construction of the W-60 — a 60-foot performance cruising yacht designed with precision, philosophy, and structural integrity. Eric, the lead builder, stays after hours to guide us through the current state of the build. With the hull and deck now jointed, the team has entered a critical phase: installing the main deck sole and lower deck sole — key structural components that unify the vessel. Structural Methodology Spotlight Eric emphasizes the importance of cohesive connectivity between all components. Four continuous bulkheads run transversely from port to starboard, forming the backbone of the boat. These aren’t just structural walls — they are integrated load pathways that connect the hull, deck, cockpit, and bilge into a single high-integrity unit. Every cut, bond, and layout choice reflects a deeply considered philosophy of durability, performance, and system harmony. The W-60 is the product of years of refinement at Granocean, known for custom high-performance catamarans that marry engineering integrity with owner-led customization. The W-series was born from a desire to break with traditional compromise-laden layouts and instead create vessels optimized from the hull up. The W-60 leverages lessons learned from the early W-52s and 62s, while integrating client feedback and performance testing across oceans. Each W-series hull carries forward a philosophy of monocoque strength, minimized vibration, and exacting weight distribution. Whether you're a seasoned sailor, aspiring builder, or simply fascinated by the inner workings of yacht construction, this video offers a detailed, unfiltered look at how expert shipwrights bring a high-performance vessel to life. 🛥️ KEY FEATURES: - 60-foot (17.9m) length with a 28.5 ft beam for unmatched interior space - Open or enclosed flybridge configurations, plus a sports-fisher version - Interior by Vripack – choose from Mediterranean, Scandinavian, Elegant Chique, or Cosmopolitan styles - Twin diesel engines with options up to 715 HP for speeds up to 26 knots - Ocean-capable with CE Certification Category A - Fully customizable layout and finish for discerning owners - Semi-planing flared hulls with high bridge deck clearance for superior seakeeping - Advanced composite construction with carbon reinforcement and structural engineering by Gurit Structural Engineer: Gurit SP Naval Architect: Howard Apollonio Designer: Eric So – Granocean Interior: VRIPACK Overall length: 58.70 feet / 17.90 meters Maximum beam: 28.50 feet / 8.70 meters Draft: 4.00 feet / 1.20 meters Maximum displacement: 30.000 Kg/ 66.140 lbs Engines: 2 x Cummins QSB6.7 380mhp Diesel Engine Fuel: 4,500 Liters/1,320 US gallons Fresh water: 1,000 Liters /264 US gallons Stay tuned for more information about GranOcean and its catamarans.
