Italy: Benetti Launches Tradition 105’

February 28, 2012

February 25rd saw the technical launch at Viareggio of the 25th unit of the new Benetti Tradition 105’. Following the customary preliminary steps, including the traditional breaking of the bottle on the hull, the yacht was lowered into the water, a ceremony witnessed by Owner, technical personnel, workers, and all Benetti staff who oversaw outfitting and construction over the past several months.

Tradition 105’, all the while maintaining the traditional charm, is completely updated with new interior layouts that provide high levels of functionality and comfort. The high seakeeping performance and manoeuvrability are achieved above all by addition of the bulb, which makes the new Tradition a real navetta with navigation standards found only in the big mega-yachts.

The technical launch marks the beginning of a long series of tests and inspections covering the hull, the engines, and the on-board systems, which are designed so as to ensure a high standard of quality and technology that distinguishes Benetti yachts worldwide. Outfitting and finishing will proceed according to the established production plan.
