Turkish shipyard AvA Yachts has added an entry-level new model to its line of compact explorers, named the Kando80. The 23.9-metre model builds on the success of the 35.2-metre Kando110 series, which includes Infinity Nine and Lady Caroline.
The steel-and-aluminium yacht has been envisioned with an interior volume of 160GT and maximum range of over 4,500 nautical miles at nine knots. Her LOA means she can operate with crew or as an owner-operated vessel and she is powered by twin Volvo Penta D8 MG 360hp engines to provide a top speed of 11 knots.
The yacht has capacity for a 4.2-metre tender on deck and offers accommodation across four cabins with further complement for two crew.
Atilla Küçükdiker, chairman and founder of AvA Yachts, said, “Kando80 is the ultimate entry-level proper global explorer for either an experienced couple or family to run themselves or with minimal crew operation. Super strong with an underwater steel thickness of 8-10mm, this is an economical yacht that will take her owners on adventures the world over in complete luxury and total safety. The Kando series’ aggressive contemporary styling has been a hit with customers and feedback we have to date suggests that the Kando80 will be equally as popular."
