Azimut-Benetti FB277 will be the second yacht over 100 metres built by the Italian yard. This historic order was announced at the Cannes Yachting Festival, when it revealed it would be built in steel and aluminium and to an in-house design. The first in-build pictures emerged in December 2015, showing that the steel hull was being built in three sections due its size. Meanwhile, its Rolls-Royce drivetrain is expected to push FB277 to a top speed of 18.5 knots.
