Vismara V46 (2006)

Composite Italian performance yacht from Vismara Marine in 2006. A firm emphasis on short-handed abilities, combined with stacks of clever design touches, makes this a very special cruising yacht. FURTHER BROKER’S COMMENTS: Launched in 2007 and with just three owners since new, including the renowned Florentine yacht designer Guido Spadolini, her current Italian-based owner has enjoyed summer cruising and club racing following a comprehensive 2020 refit, and now offers K8 for sale to make way for fresh projects. Her specification highlights include:- Composite construction with unidirectional glass and carbon, vacuum laminated with epoxy resin to guarantee maximum lightness and weight concentration.

In particular, Vismara has developed different types of hull, appendage and sail plan, and worked on the construction systems, layout of the interiors, weight distribution, deck geometries and the overall conceptualisation of the project and of the necessary optimization for racing in our area. From a design viewpoint, the boat is very specific and it is completely different from IMS craft or from the boats typically built by manufacturer’s such as X-Yachts or Grand Soleil: The hull has a far more powerful stern profile - featuring projections and edges similar to those of the modern Volvo 70 craft - which increase dynamic waterline length; Higher sides on the water, fore and aft, for IRC minimum measurement of dynamic waterline length; The sail plan has a notable surface area, totalling 115 sq m; Craft stability is very high, with a 3600 kg blade keel without torpedo-shaped bulb to reduce wetted surface and lurching; The construction is in state-of-the-art composites with unidirectional glass and carbon, vacuum laminated with epoxy resin to guarantee maximum lightness and weight concentration. However, this craft was not designed with just racing in mind, but, interpreting I.R.C. regulations and philosophy, it has been fitted out with 3 comfortable cabins, two of which are double, in the stern, with a shared bathroom in the centre, under the entrance and a large master cabin with twin beds and a bathroom in the bow. The layout is in the typically symmetrical style of Vismara and has doors and convertible compartments for totally open interior spaces, creating a genuine “Loft“. The styling of the high-tech fittings, made in painted composites, includes areas with exposed carbon and coloured plastics in such a way that structural elements are divided from fittings while keeping all furnishings with a structural function self-supporting to achieve the maximum lightness and rigidity in the hull. The graphics and colours of this craft are the work of architect, Guido Spadolini, who is also the (original) owner. MANUFACTURER’S BACKGROUND: Since the early beginnings in 1984, Vismara’s history has been marked by the continuing objective to innovate, without ever resting on their laurels. This is a route mapped out by their designer and company founder, Alessandro Vismara, a naval architect with an education in Applied Hydrodynamics and Performance Prediction from Southampton. On returning to Italy, Alessandro’s roots start with Perini Navi and fortified in 1990 through an association with Baltic Yachts of Finland. Through more than 40 years of skillful professionalism spent putting heart and soul into building, designing and fine-tuning vessels, Alessandro and his team delivered in excess of 150 boats customised or built entirely to measure, 300+ boats altered or renovated. and over 600 satisfied boat owning customers.
