Monaco, 27th September 2013
The latest project in the Mangusta Oceano displacement line, a 42 metre yacht in steel and aluminium designed by Alberto Mancini, was presented as a world première this morning in Monaco.
“We are proud of this new displacement yacht” declared Maurizio Balducci, Group CEO, “as she will satisfy the demands of owners who wish to spend substantial amounts of time cruising without renouncing to design, complete on-board comfort and last generation technologies.”
The project was developed by designer Alberto Mancini, who has begun his working relationship with Overmarine Group | Mangusta actually with this 42 metre yacht.
Mancini has been able to exalt the successful stylistic features and family feeling of Mangusta Maxi Open yachts and interpret them to create a 3 deck displacement yacht: the result is a beautiful yacht, modern and elegant, whose proportions are expressed in a blend of sharp, taut lines combined with softer sections.
A careful study of light and a new concept which provides for two innovative areas have been developed on-board Mangusta Oceano 42: on the bow deck the external area features two separate sunbathing areas which plunge into a swimming-pool with a continuous waterfall. A glazed skylight on the bottom of the pool brings light and translucence to the head in the owner suite on the underlying deck.
Astern, on the other hand, the hatch has been fitted with glazed transverse cuts through which a real furnished beach area can be glimpsed. Once open, it stretches out over the sea creating a platform where the glazed surfaces turn into a source of natural light allowing the nocturnal lighting of the underwater beams fitted astern to filter through.
Painstaking care has been taken over the lighting design, and the concept of the beach club skylight also appears on the external decks where transparency has been achieved through the glazed bases of the steel and glass tables set on all three decks of the yacht.
The interiors have been designed in order to accommodate up to twelve guests ensuring their total privacy and freedom of movement, as well as seven crew members.
The main deck houses the salon and dining-room, the lobby, the galley and the full-beam Owner suite at bow which features a terrace over the sea.
