RODRIQUEZ YACHTS DOUBLES UP: TWO NEW “COLLEZIONE” SERIES MEGAYACHTS ORDERED

A new success for Rodriquez Yachts. After introducing the new “shuttle” project – the Rodriquez Yachts COLLEZIONE series – at the 2004 Genoa International Boat Show, they have now awarded further orders for the construction of two yachts of the Collezione series.

The first yacht named RY COLLEZIONE 38 - ordered by a Greek Shipowner - will be an aluminium 38-metre vessel, designed and developed by the yard's Rodriquez design team in cooperation with designer Francesco Paszwkowski. The outfitting works will be carried out at the Sarzana's yard, whilst the hull and superstructure will be built at the Pietra Ligure's yard. Works will start in a week. The yacht is expected to be delivered in May 2006.

The second project is a 36-metre RY COLLEZIONE shuttle vessel, ordered by an Italian Shipowner, who decided for a fibreglass-reinforced glass hull and aluminium superstructure solution. Also in this case, the project has been developed by the Rodriquez Yachts' design team in cooperation with designer Francesco Paszwkowski. This yacht is expected to be delivered in April 2007.

The Rodriquez Yachts' COLLEZIONE vessels feature a modern design recalling the old shuttle vessels: smart, silent, comfortable, valuable, cosy, light and very spacious according to the “widebody” concept embodied in the current pleasure boats of Rodriquez Cantieri Navali brand.
