The latest SL96 Asymmetric yacht has been sold, this time into Hong Kong. Simpson Marine was in charge of the sale of the yacht whose model made its debut earlier this year at boot Düsseldorf.

Designed by Sanlorenzo with exteriors by Francesco Paszkowski, this 29.1-metre model is indicative of Sanlorenzo’s willingness to innovate in order to make better use of space on board their yachts. The yacht's asymmetry is balanced from port to starboard and disguised by clever use of light and shadow.

She is designed for maximum comfort with a sunbathing area on her raised pilothouse which lies above her covered wheelhouse.
Bringing asymmetry into the yacht by eliminating the port side-deck, Sanlorenzo gained 10 square metres of space for the interior of their SL96 Asymmetric yacht model. “We feel very proud to see that the Asymmetric concept has been so well received in Asia, with more projects to be finalised in the near future,” says Nick Stratton, Sanlorenzo Asia Sales Manager.
