Bluegame, a brand of Sanlorenzo, has unveiled a new multihull 22.7 metre model called the BGM75 at the Cannes Yachting Festival.
Designed to retain the appearance of a monohull with the benefits of a catamaran, the BGM75 offers increased stability, large volumes and reduced fuel consumption.
The yacht is the first of a new series of multihull yachts from Bluegame, which is called the BGM line.
The yacht’s design comes from Bernardo Zuccon and Piero Lisson, working on a hull form that was developed as the hydrogen-powered chase boat for the America’s Cup by Philippe Briand.
The hull form means the BGM75 requires 50 per cent less power than a monohull of the same volume and is built in carbon, with other lightweight materials used for all non-structural materials.
The yacht can also generate 5kW of green energy thanks to 56 solar panels that can be installed on the deckhouse.
The ethos of the yacht is a “motor yacht that by chance has not one hull, but two”, according to the yard. Additionally, the yacht aims to retain a "futuristic" look on the exterior while maximising the model's 8.5 metre beam.
Head of Product Strategy Luca Santell said the only limitation of the new model was being “true to [Bluegame’s] DNA”.
He elaborated, saying the model has a “great hull design for a safe and comfortable ride, robust construction, well-protected sides, large beach areas open to the sea, generous front lounge areas, connected cockpits, optimised position of the helm station, great visibility, extremely easy manoeuvrability, superior quality, great attention to detail and understated elegance”.
The model is the first multihull design from both Sanlorenzo and Bluegame.
The Ameglia-based shipyard also took the opportunity of the Cannes Yachting to unveil a prototype model of the hydrogen-powered chase boat that would serve in the upcoming America's Cup.
