    NEW- MAIORA 27

    Maiora 27 is a model already well known for the elegance of her lines which are sporty yet simple and refined, and symbol of the “Made in Italy” style. Thanks to her clever division of space she is the ideal choice for all those who wish to cruise long distances in absolute comfort.

    DESIGN & COMFORT

    The New Maiora 27 holds the tradition of Maiora yachts: the choice of white hull which enhances the feeling of brightness and lightness has always been a must of the brand. Going aboard, on the main deck elm woods and ivory ceilings are combined in a wide saloon with adjacent dining area. A concealed sliding door separates the dining area from the spacious galley with polished white lacquer. Next to it there is a small but very practical day head forward of which there is the main helm area. Going down to the lower deck, a comfortable and airy VIP cabin is located all the way forward. It has ceilings finished in “ivory” leather and its own bathroom. Going to the stern, there are two guest cabins: one with twin beds and one with double bed. A luxurious full beam master Suite is located on the stern. It has a double bed in central position while a closet behind it maintains the continuity of elm essences. There is also a spacious private bathroom where Calacatta Carrara marble produces an elegant and unique effect.
    Going up to the flybridge, a spacious sunbathing area occupies a central position and three chaise longue which are located further aft, from which you can enjoy sailing in the open air A comfortable dining table promises conviviality to 10 guests during navigation and a fully equipped wet bar wraps around the exterior wheelhouse, hiding it in the eyes of the visitor and giving privacy to the guests on board. Going forward to the bow, a garage houses the tender, which can be put in the water by a powerful hydraulic crane.
    Outside, the aft cockpit has a comfortable dining table, where you can enjoy the company of guests on board and can accommodate up to 10 people.

  • Lionheart wins J Class Falmouth Regatta

    Lionheart wins J Class Falmouth Regatta

    Big congratulations are due to the owner and crew of the Claasen-built Lionheart who have won the first major J-class race of 2015!

    Our black-hulled beauty had to win the sixth and final race on Saturday to clinch the J-class Falmouth Regatta title. A huge crowd of spectators watched the J fleet lock horns in Cornwall and were rewarded with a very exciting race. The start proved close with Ranger and Velsheda going head to head, but Lionheart sailed smartly and smoothly to ultimately beat Ranger by 42 seconds.

    Lionheart’s tactician John Cutler was delighted with both the victory and the event: “As a group we are really pleased to win on this tough race course. It is a spectacle which does not come around often and the boats are awesome.” Similarly spectacular racing on an even larger scale was seen at the 19th Superyacht Cup in Palma from 17 to 20 June. Claasen was ‘Industry Partner’ for this year’s event and after three days of exciting racing it was the classic ketch Marie who claimed overall victory.

    Our very own Heartbeat bagged a class win during last year’s SYC and overall victory the year before. While they could not quite repeat the feat this year, Heartbeat’s crew gave it their all at a regatta where 21 competitors were split across three classes of super-close battles.

    “Aifos” was designed by Architect Vafiadis, engineered by Hydro Tec and by Cbi Navi’s technical department, and built entirely in Viareggio by Cbi Navi shipyard, a worldwide leader in the construction of custom superyachts and real one-off vessels made of steel and/or aluminum.

The contrast between black, grey and white colors, the simple and linear features incorporated into a meticulous design make this new CBI 50 a real design achievement.

Going forward there is a dining area with a table capable of seating 12 people, an office space and a dinette. A fully-equipped gym with a treadmill, and a play room, both of which are adjascent to two guest cabins finished in predominantly white tones ensure the guests’ entertainment.

The master bathroom, finished in sandstone, offers the possibility to have a hydromassage while overlooking the sea. The captain’s cabin placed next to a day head divides this spacious owner’s area from a comfortable wheelhouse. The lower deck is dedicated to three spacious en-suite VIP cabins, a professional galley in stainless steel capable of serving 6 meals per day for 14 guests in addition to 11 crew members, and crew quarters which include 5 cabins and a crew mess.
