Designed in collaboration with Massimo Franchini and Michele Ansaloni, the SM45 Project Amerigo is a 45 metre tri-deck superyacht from Mondo Marine. The yacht is being hailed as a true hybrid vessel, enabling cruising without limits with maximum autonomy and minimal fuel consumption and environmental impact.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150679/image/large-86c5f4c9bdcfeac6a96df61c08a194ed.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150679">Particular care has been given to the optimisation of the hull, resulting in a keel with particularly low resistance, and additional extensions for better stability as well as reduction of the pitch and dive.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150680/image/large-2aa9ca514f79614c343949e3f815cb58.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150680"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150681/image/large-dc037cb32728aa2aaa984052d41bd215.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150681">The ketch sail plan of 850 sqm with "squared" mainsails favors simplicity in cruising and maneuvering, and is not exclusively dedicated to experienced owners with a substantial crew.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150682/image/large-3cb026940590de5196a44b09619de4d1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150682">Inside, the yacht offers light and airy spaces.
