AB Yachts launched the fifth AB 116 | 16
The AB Yachts shipyard, which belongs to the FIPA Group, launched the 36.25 metre long glider in the Marina di Carrara.
Marco Arnaboldi was responsible for the fast deep-V hull lines and the sporty exterior styling. AB Yachts laminated the hull and superstructure as a glass fibre sandwich with Kevlar and carbon reinforcements in areas subject to particular stress.
In any case, the structure is under strain. This is ensured by three MTU diesels with a combined output of 5370 kilowatts, which act on three waterjets and accelerate the AB 116, built according to RINA rules, to a maximum of 50 knots. The shipyard specifies a cruising speed of 44 knots.
