AB Yachts 145. Flying over the waves

Share:

One look at the new creation AB Yachts, to understand that it is the epitome of speed. This quality is etched in the form of AB 145, affecting all of its features, ranging from a rapid form of silhouette and finishing windows, typical for most of the space shuttle of any film in the genre of Sci-Fi & Fantasy. Outside, as we know, can be deceiving, but not for nothing that the boat was given the name of Fast & Furious, clearly borrowed from the name of the franchise.

Yacht AB 145 is able to move at a maximum speed of 43 knots, the ship that her performance measure for real space. Although dvizhetelnaya installation of three engines MTU 16V 2000 M94 capacity of 2 500 liters. from. each and MJP 650 water jets – quite a good arsenal in the asset boat.
The hull shape of the 45-meter Italian – not just a figment of imagination of designers dreaming, but the result of meticulous calculation of hydrodynamic characteristics and multiple tests. As for similarities with the rocket, there is a first impression is correct. In the structure AB 145 uses the same materials as in the aerospace industry – Kevlar and carbon. There is a unity of form and content. All of this can not only accelerate, but also to do so without a hint of noise and vibration. Even at maximum speed boat moves quietly and smoothly.
The smaller of the Italians no one expected, but the company has indicated that it is ready to make the most at the moment. It is the largest representative of the range AB Yachts, belongs to the Fipa Group.
Partly superstructure and streamlined profile emphasize the rapid appearance of the vessel, and the extended internal and external volumes in conjunction with a non-standard layout enhance the effects of serious road performance. A striking example of such an innovation in the use of space is the flybridge. Perhaps only an additional steering wheel with the instrument panel – it is the only fixed unit installed in a well-planned place. All the rest – a matter of taste and mood.

On the AB 145 is provided and an option with a solarium and a large dining area in the open air, and even the full interior. After sunset, the place is transformed into a perfect dance floor, a platform for parties or cocktail receptions, so the owner is given complete freedom of expression.
In contrast to the open interior layout of the flybridge Cockpit AB 145 a little more traditional. There are organized stationary bar with impressive size fridge and lounge area – the coffee table surrounded by wicker chairs. Also, this space is adjacent to a large sofa, it blends in a wide sanped making blurred the boundary between interior and solarium. But, apparently, proximity swim platform has become the determining factor for such a plan.

Some logical continuation of the open area was the main salon. Light tone walls and ceiling emphasize the impressive interior volumes and gray floor creates contrasts and emphasizes a rather quiet interior. Divan section is very clearly separated from the dining area bulkhead – a small structure that creates the feeling ponderous wall. Through the cut a “window” can be seen opposite the wall on which hangs a panel, so by the optical illusion of space visually seem a little more complicated and voluminous.
Another non-standard method – placement of the technical communications directly into the cabin. In order to implement this idea, I had to sacrifice a bit of space and “smooth out” the corners of the recreation area. Get elk two similarity of boxing that wood paneling. On one of them even hung LCD panel, expanding the entertainment possibilities of the cabin.

The master suite is also located on the main deck, is able to dream a little and show all the creativity. For example, the owner of the suite occupied the entire width of the housing, which is more than 8 meters! Designers gladly take advantage of it, creating a spacious and comfortable space. In the center of the cabin it flaunts a large bed, this intimate zone of sleep separated from the secondary space partition. The bathroom and dressing area also occupy almost the entire length from side to side, so just do not have to huddle.
But this does not exhaust the list of advantages of this location. Thus, the bonus number one – folding terrace right of the bed. She put forward a few meters out and literally hangs over the water, it is just breathtaking. This private relaxation area definitely have to taste the whole family.

The bonus number two – one of the two symmetrical doors on both sides of the LCD-panel hides the stairs leading to the fore part of the main deck. This whole area, exclusively placed at the disposal of the owner. By the way, thanks to privacy was possible to place an additional window facing the “nose”, it allows you to fill the cabin with natural light.
Guests at the AB 145 is placed on the lower deck, with three of the four cabins – VIP. I must say that in the decoration of apartments do not yield to each other, except that one of them two twin beds, but everything “rooms” are equipped with private facilities. Above the beds adorn the interesting panels, and in each cabin they have different colors. Right from the comfort of the guest area, you can get to the gym, that definitively establishes the status of the lower deck VIP.
The bridge is located slightly above the main deck level, at its very center, is actually a separate polupalube, which can be accessed both from the flying bridge, and with the main deck. Another distinctive feature of AB 145 is that the finish is not inferior to technical premises decor passenger spaces. For example, in the wheelhouse on the sofas, wooden beams and instrument panel uses the same skin as the other cabins. Kitchen furniture facades reminiscent of crumpled foil and look very original. Generally, despite some minimalist design, all the interiors look not only practical, but also very refined and elegant.
