Baglietto has announced securing the first order for a 60 m yacht, hull no. 10260. The project of the T60, penciled by Francesco Paszkowski Design, had been presented at the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 just 3 months ago. The interiors were made by Francesco Paszkowski Design in cooperation with Margherita Casprini.
“It is difficult to hide the great sense of pride we feel for securing this sale,” comments Fabio Ermetto, Baglietto CCO. “Not only because it comes just 3 months after the project was introduced to the public and as the culmination of an extraordinary year, but above all because it confirms the appropriateness of the creative choices pursued by the shipyard together with designer Francesco Paszkowski. This model, I believe, has all the features the market is looking for today, but it also opens new horizons for the recreational boating industry, by implementing highly innovative, unprecedented onboard solutions. Indeed, the T60 radically changes the concept of life at sea, overturning long-established rules that juxtapose sea and land, interiors and exteriors, formal and informal, day areas and night areas”.
T60 is 60 meters long and weighing around 1,000 GT, she features the soft exterior lines, a touch-and-go helipad at the bow. Inside she has the floor-to-ceiling windows of both the main saloon and the upper deck open up completely and, once fully concealed, create highly versatile and interior environments that change constantly to harmonize with the surrounding landscape. The beach area, the main saloon and the dining area are indeed conceived as one single free-flowing space: a 60 sq. m beach lounge with a pool, a conversation area and a gym welcomes guests on board and leads them to the saloon, which can be opened up completely thanks to an elegant staircase, resulting in an almost 100 sq. m space on two levels. The dining room, in turn, is fitted with a glazed surface that can be fully opened to create an extraordinary living area on the water, where guests can indulge both during the day and in the evening.
The master cabin is located on the upper deck. Guests will find accommodation in four – two VIP and two guest – cabins located on the main deck and a fifth guest cabin on the lower deck, which also hosts a massage room.
The T60 is equipped with two CAT 3512 ACERT engines that will push her to a maximum speed of 16 knots and a cruising speed of 12 knots. Hull #10260 is scheduled for delivery in 2026.
“Figures alone cannot always convey the efforts and commitment they stem from,” adds Diego Michele Deprati, Baglietto’s CEO. “This time, however, I think it is fair to highlight what Baglietto has been able to accomplish in 2022, a year that is represented at best by the sale of this T60: 9 yachts between 41 m and 60 m in length sold, 22 boats under construction, 3 new models delivered, 3 new sales offices opened around the world, €13 million invested in the La Spezia and Carrara facilities, and the launch of Bertram’s European division, with the sale of the first unit. Behind all this stands a whole organization, but, first and foremost, are the passion and pride of so many people involved. The T60 starts a new chapter in the Seagull brand’s extraordinary history, and marks the beginning of a new era”.
