The 27m Ferretti 860 yacht is the newest flybridge from the iconic brand and saw her world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2022.

A closer look at the 27m Ferretti Yachts 860 series

This has resulted in specific technical solutions to enhance the comfort, liveability and operation of the GTT 135. &nbsp;&nbsp;Like Jetsetter and the GTT 115, a Fast Displacement Hull Form by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">van Oossanen</a> provides remarkably low resistance and fuel consumption. The addition of a Hull Vane further improves hull efficiency and motion comfort. A double spray rail and tweaks to the reverse bow shape at entry ensure the foredeck will remain dry. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186743/image/large-9709d97cd45575ea6fedd423a27d0a92.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186743">Very low noise and vibration levels were a priority for the owner. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4472" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dynamiq Yachts (Company)">Dynamiq</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/460" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Van Oossanen Naval Architects (Company)">Van Oossanen</a> consulted with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6098" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intersona (Company)">Intersona</a>, noise and vibration specialists in the Netherlands with over 45 years’ experience in the marine field. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6098" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intersona (Company)">Intersona</a> analysed the hull structure and noise-emitting components to achieve the contractual levels.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6098" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Intersona (Company)">Intersona</a> recommended Rubber Design, another Dutch company specialised in anti-vibration technology for propeller shaft installations on yachts, and the GTT 135 is fitted with a Torque Compensation System that reduces structure-borne noise by more than 25dB. Consisting of two rubber spring elements supporting the gearbox and two air springs that produce a counterforce to compensate for torque displacements, the TCS control unit works by adjusting the air spring pressures to maintain the engine gearbox in a neutral position and reduce the excitation forces transmitted to the hull structure. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186747/image/large-0c5b4b77aa7996f7a2ea3ea7effd3e1f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186747">To reduce engine exhaust noise, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4472" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dynamiq Yachts (Company)">Dynamiq</a> specified 2.8-metre mufflers by UK-based Halyard that provide noise attenuation of more than 40 per cent. Cavitation is another source of noise and vibration and the GTT 135 is equipped with SIP Marine propellers. The Dutch firm uses CFD analysis, proprietary software and VR technology to reduce pressure fluctuations on the hull and shaft for cavitation-free prop designs that still provide optimal thrust and energy consumption.The design team chose to install curved Vector fins from Side-Power by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3601" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sleipner Motor AS (Company)">Sleipner Motor</a>. These generate more vertical net force than flat fins that operate parallel to the angle of the hull’s deadrise, creating an anti-roll force that is more efficient that that of straight fins. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186746/image/large-67f1d0d239a0209a37325c10b85353f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186746">Even the HVAC system by Termodinamica is more efficient. Using a gas refrigerant instead of chilled water, the air handlers work at a very low temperature to offer better dehumidification, less condensation and power consumption is reduced by at least 50%.“Yacht builders are like chefs – we use the same machinery or ingredients but in different combinations and proportions,” says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2445" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dobroserdov Design (Company)">Dobroserdov</a>. “Yes, we have some exotic components aboard Stefania like the Torque Compensation System, but more comfort and efficiency gains can be made by refining hull lines, props, rudders, and so on, than by installing the latest space-age technology.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186745/image/large-858718e555e40d4bec54dfdf68a6d4a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186745">The project also drew on the operational know-how of Captain John Scullard as shipyard captain. Formerly captain of the GTT 115, his input included rerouteing the mast ventilation for the grey and black water tanks to avoid back pressure, improving the position of the mooring gear in the stern for faster and safer operation, and making sure the engine room layout provides easy access for maintenance.Stefania is equipped with aerosol firefighting equipment that uses non-conductive dry powders in areas where applying normal extinguishing agents, such as water or foam, might cause more damage than the fire itself, especially around electrical systems.Unusual for a yacht of this size, the GTT 135 has a forward garage so the tender and toys are stored as far away as possible from the guest areas. Unlike a transom garage, it also means the 5.3-metre tender can be deployed at any time, even when docked stent to in port. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/102087/image/large-536d1c71bbdeda4cd48f9635b153a078.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/102087">Twin MAN V12 1650 engines provide a maximum speed of 20 knots with an ocean-going range of 3,500 miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots.

We‘re now looking forward to the sea trials to check how her many technical innovations take performance and comfort to the next level.”&nbsp;

41m Dynamiq GTT yacht Stefania hits the water 

The 41m Dynamiq GTT 135 yacht Stefania has been launched from the Dynamiq shipyard in Massa.
