Baglietto launches hull #10238 first model of T52

The first model in the successful T52 line has finally hit the water: hull No. 10238 was launched earlier this week during a private ceremony.

Hull No. 10238 is the first T52 to be launched and is fitted with a hybrid propulsion system that will allow to choose a more efficient cruising mode, curbing both consumption and environmental impact. When cruising in electrical diesel mode, the T52 can indeed reach a range of up to 7,600 nm, and remain at anchor up to 10 hours relying on the batteries only. Her two MTU 16V2000M86 engines, however, will also allow her to reach quite an impressive maximum speed of 17 knots and a range of 3,600 nm in traditional navigation mode.

The lines penned by Francesco Paszkowski Design reinterpret the classical design elements of Baglietto's traditional steel displacement yachts under 500 GT in a highly contemporary, distinctive style and conveying a very strong personality, the same found across the interiors, also designed by FPD in cooperation with Margherita Casprini.

“This is a very much awaited-for moment - comments Baglietto's CCO Fabio Ermetto – Seeing one of our vessels touch the water is always incredibly exciting for us, but when this happens with the first one in a new line, the excitement is even greater. Hull No. 10238 is also the first model in this line to mount a hybrid propulsion system, marking a crucial step also in terms of research and development in our shipyard's path towards sustainable yachting - a path Baglietto is pursuing with firm determination".

Just like her seven sisterships, the first T52, too, has truly unique features that perfectly meet today's market demands.

Close contact with the sea is ensured by the original open stern featuring a beach club that develops over 3 levels and has already become a hallmark of Baglietto's new course. The large pool can easily be concealed thanks to an ingenious up-down movable floor that further extends the available deck surface when the pool is not being used.

On the upper deck, the wide floor-to-ceiling windows opening on 3 sides create a pleasant "al fresco" lounge, with a conversation area and a dining area to be enjoyed in all weather conditions.

The approximately 24-metre-long sundeck - another distinguishing feature on Baglietto yachts - is unmatched on a vessel of this size and volume, and follows in the wake of Baglietto's traditional displacement yachts.
