Let's do it again They've done it again. We are talking about Francesco Struglia and Michael Peters. The Roman is responsible for the "customised suit", the man from Sarasota for the patented two-stage hull, the guarantee for speed and excellent handling characteristics. The Verve 42 borrowed its drive system with powerful outboards from its big sister (Verve 47). The only difference is that it has 1,350 hp, i.e. three instead of four engines. The trio at the transom makes the weekender, which is equipped with a double cockpit, open-air galley, centre cabin, bathroom and convertible seating area, 45 knots fast. Info: www.azimutyachts.com
Where you want to go A city trip on your doorstep, a holiday in the Mediterranean or simply across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. Arksen in the United Kingdom builds steel explorer yachts that can go anywhere. Provided the bridges are high (more than 3.70 metres) and the water is deep enough (1.20 metres). Equipped with solar panels and two hybrid drives (diesel/electric), the shipyard promises ranges of over 3,000 nautical miles. Travelling companions include a saloon with steering position, comfortable sofas and galley, owner's and guest cabins, a "study" or second guest cabin and two separate bathrooms. When it comes to furnishings and equipment, the owner (almost) always has "the last word". Info: www.arksen.com
