“It was already in my mind since longtime ago and I promised myself to give birth to a special boat, with a strong personality, able to give emotions to all those meeting her on their way. I believe I managed to reach my goal. With her 65 metres of LOA, with her 18 kn speed in absolute comfortable conditions, with her elegant interior design, the very modern navigation and communication equipment, the application of the most updated technologies in order to obtain the most elevated performance standards, all these characteristics make “Family Day” a unique jewel in its kind” . With these words did Fulvio Codecasa, Owner of the Cantieri Navali Codecasa, introduce the launching of the newest m.y. FAMILY DAY, CODECASA 65, Hull F 71.
This new jewel of the sea offers very modern and gentle lines. In particular, the construction offers a stern particularly extended and more inclined than any previous Codecasa, which gives her an even more sporty look and very elegant at the same time. Thanks to this external characteristic, which distinguishes her from all other Codecasa yachts, we like to define her a construction out from the traditional yard schemes. On board there’s plenty of ample spaces both outside and inside. One of these spaces is dedicated to the relax area surrounding the large spa pool on Bridge Deck forward with her sofas, coffee tables, armchairs and sunbeds. A further ample space is given to the sunbathing area and barbecue on Sun Deck.
Speaking of the interiors, the Owner’s suite is the area which much enjoys of roominess, here included the Owner’s studio with an openable bulkhead able to transform itself, when necessary, in a fantastic balcony with sea view. Wider space is also dedicated to the six Guests cabins, to the lounges and to all the relax areas on board. Everywhere here the carpentry works, all in satin finishing, is able to offer dark rosewoods for the floorings and light rosewoods plus fabric for the bulkheads. Sofas, headboards and bed borders are all in light coloured leather. The internal decorative lines are by architects Anna Maria and Franco Della Role, studied along with the Owner himself. They are simple and extremely modern. Fabrics as well follow the decorative principles of simplicity. All bathrooms are realized in rosewood and light coloured marbles. Ceilings are in lacquered wood. One of the main characteristics of this vessel refers to the dining room, here located on Bridge Deck, occupying the whole area usually dedicated to the Bridge lounge. The round table in the centre of the room is able to seat up to 16 guests. An elevator connects the 5 levels of the boat, from Top Tank Deck up to the Sun Deck. The vessel has been built following the Lloyd’s Register and MCA rules, mounts Caterpillar engines and offers the best navigation and communication electronic equipment. Conceived to be oceangoing and for a high seakeeping, she is also provided of Quantum anchor “zero speed” stabilizers. The relevant delivery to her Owner is scheduled for June 2010.
After the launch of m.y. Family Day, the same Codecasa slipway will be occupied by a 50 metres motoryacht, whose construction will be finished in Summer 2011. In the close twin yard it is almost ready the construction of another yacht, 65 metres as well, commissioned by an important Owner. The launching will take place next 5 June and further to this date, the slipway will be dedicated to the construction of the first new 42 metres of the Codecasa Vintage Series.
To complete full building schedule of the shipyard, end of May will see the launch of a new 46 metres open motoryacht (Maria Carla series), whereas at the CodecasaDue shipyard are in construction a numerous quantity of All Weather Rescue Boats for the Italian Coast Guard, the fifth unit of which is supposed to be delivered in the next days.
