tested T he dedication of the name of one of the most famous navigators of all time to the collection clearly has the objective of emphasizing that the vessels that are a part of this series are able to always navigate. This is not a banal assertion, on the contrary, it is one proven by studies carried out by the creative staff of Azimut, which in 2009 brought this project to life in order to respond in the most satisfying way possible, to the demands of those who love the sea to the point of not wanting to deprive themselves of it, even in the presence of inopportune meteorological conditions, even at the cost of having to reduce the RPM and speed. The Magellano, project created by the Avigliana shipyard, envisages a range of models extending from 43 to 80 feet, and four of these are already available. The last to make its debut, in chronological order, is the Magellano 76. The project of this Italian trawler has as a starting point the forefather of the series, or rather the Magellano 74, to which reinterpretations in the layout were introduced, in order to make it the most modern and up-to-date as possible. The layout brings back the typical characteristics of the rest of the range, in which the vertical line of the stern, the cleanness and the power of the lines and the harmony of the flybridge, which distinguishes itself with its fiberglass roof (hardtop), all stand out. The flybridge is not invasive, but actually an essential part from an esthetic perspective. At the very front of the vessel, the pilot station with three seats is located, complete with a Plexiglass windshield, and controls that allow the best possible management of the unit. At the Precious materials intervene to enrich the furniture, such as the Canaletto walnut, veneered in the salon with soffits and varnished columns and leather, venetian curtains, wood dining tables, wood and moquette pavement, leather pilot seats, varnished wood bathroom seats with the walls of the shipowner s and VIP shower in marble, and toilets in white ceramic. 94 BARCHE March 2013

tested Shipyard Azimut Yachts, the business legend with its directional center in Avigliana, at the door of Torino, has for years been the milestone of the yacht and luxury megayacht sector, with more than 130 headquarters spread out on all of the continents. Born in 1969 thanks to Paolo Vitelli, in 1985 Azimut (then still not Yachts) acquired the Benetti di Viareggio brand. A subsequent restructuring of the shipyards of Fano, Viareggio and Avigliana brought the shipyard to obtain much more important productive results, in addition to the recent investments realized in Brazil for the creation of new stabilizations. Despite having increased the length by only two feet, in comparison to the predecessor Magellano 74, the 76 offers a better and more balanced distribution of the on board space, in particular in the subdivision of the stowing areas from those dedicated to the ship owner and guests. stern, on the other hand, most of the usable space near the stairs can be dedicated to a chaise lounge or beach chair. It is also possible to integrate a bimini for the cockpit. The main deck also gains in lengths compared to the 74 model, 50 cm in the deckhouse and 60 at t he stern for the bathroom foundation, the latter equipped with tender lift. The dynamic test was carried out in Viareggio, in the presence of quite favorable meteorological conditions, with a calm sea and total absence of wind. Before leaving the deck, we check the on board weight which in our case is equal to 4,000 litres of gasoline, 500 litres of sea water, 200 litres of black water and 8 people, me included, a weight considered average by the shipyard. The Magellano 76 is equipped with a stabilization system, and even navigating rough seas becomes doable without many problems, while the speed, on the other hand, varies according to ones own needs, and can pass from 11 knots obtainable with the powerful Man, from horsepower, each one pulled to rpm, at 22 knots which is the maximum reachable speed, with the hull in perfect shape, at 2,400 rpm. The estimated cruising speed, however, is about 15 knots and /1,900 rpm, a driving condition that allows the traversal of long distances, while consuming a total of about 200 litres an hour. The absence of vibrations and the well-contained noise (59 dba 1,500 rpm and almost 67 at in the pilot area, with delicate increases in the shipowner s area closer to the engine room) render navigation comfortable even from an acoustic environmental prospective, and even in the cockpit the noise is still at more than acceptable levels. The carbon consumption (that we indicated at about 200 litres an hour at rpm), double at full speed even when touching the peak of 415 litres 96 BARCHE March 2013
The esthetic-technical armament is rich: the deck in teak, the washboard in teak on the gunwhale, the two Magellano 76 logos in brass chrome at the stern, or the decorative iron fenders on the sides of the stern. In the images, one can see these and other details, materials, and both internal and external refinishing, which embellish the vessel. 97
