| “VIRTUELLE” - 79’ Fast Cruising Sloop
A
fast cruising yacht from the Vallicelli & Co. Design Studio
in collaboration with Philippe Starck who was responsible for the
Interior design and the very original Deck plan which is a departure
from the layouts and geometries in use today; a deck that leaves
any observer dumbfound for the original use that has been made
of Teak and for the “maestria” of the craftsmen that
produced it.
A
very innovative Hull design of medium light displacement built
at Tencara in Venice from epoxy pre-impregnated carbon/aramid fibers
and expanded PVC. Launched early in 2000 " Virtuelle " on
its second regatta, placed 2nd in the World Maxi Yacht Cup of Porto
Cervo and won the 2001 World Maxi Rolex Cup.
Trimarine was responsible for the surveillance and coordination
of the construction representing the Owner near the yard from the
moment the mould plug was set up until the end of the sea trials.
The project coordination work has been fundamental in guaranteeing
uniformity in the design of all the details based on the philosophies
of the Studio Starck and the Studio Vallicelli & C.
