superyachttimes.com interviews Luciano Scaramuccia, CEO of Cantieri di Pisa and Cantieri Navali Baglietto boatyards, and architect Carlo Galeazz about the new Cantieri di Pisa Akhir 135
"The new Akhir 135' is undoubtedly a real sign of the renewed strategies we have just undertaken and which will make the new 153' the company's flagship":
"What we are particularly pleased about, and that we believe strongly in", he continued, "is that the new models are all Akhir, they are all boats with that special family feeling, that will all be immediately recognizable but which, together with the values of our tradition, will all have some very new features, innovative solutions, like the focus on light, the use of internal and external space and the attention paid to the people on board and socializing".
"When I was asked to design these new boats", said Carlo Galeazzi, architect, "I was very pleased, even though I felt the weight of the responsibility in putting my hands to something that had been created by someone I tended to consider a bit like a master, if not an icon:Pierluigi Spadolini. "
"Thanks to the addition of two central recesses, above and below the dark band around the portholes, we have managed to obtain a two pronged objective: not to spoil but to conserve the horizontal, sleek line that is so typical of Akhir boats and, at the same time, to let in a lot of light below deck".
"The internal spaces are still one of the yard's strengths; "the yard can boast a system to sandblast the teak that no other yard in the world uses", said Luciano Scaramuccia ,"a system that is often used and well exploited by the designers of the various boat owners that come to us"
