The new Otam Custom Range SD35 superyacht GIPSY, measuring 35 metres is nearing completion. GIPSY is a semi-displacement aluminium motor yacht and is scheduled for a world debut at the 2016 Monaco Yacht Show in September.
The first OTAM SD35 is at 80% of the construction and on-time with the yacht offering supreme volumes for less than 300GT (295GT) category and a discreet draft to allow for a wider range of cruising destination.
GIPSY spreads over three decks with a 7,8-metre beam and is being built for an experienced Italian owner who was looking for a fully custom aluminium yacht, made-to-measure according to his wishes and respecting his lifestyle.
The hull and superstructure have been finished, together with all paint jobs. The propulsion and generators have also been installed while the interior is also nearing completion.
GIPSY is scheduled to be launched in early June after which she will get ready for her world-premiere at the 2016 MYS.
The new OTAM SD35 provides the customer with a one-of-a-kind amount of living space. The aluminium construction provides flexibility when it comes to personalising the interior layouts and exterior lines, both of which, have been assigned to the renowned international design office, Spadolini.
The interiors are fully customised with the yacht offering remarkable larger volumes than any other competitor in her category.
The Owner of GIPSY was adamant that the layout would completely reflect his personal approach to the life at sea. The main deck is entirely dedicated to guests’ activities, leisure or business/corporate entertainment. The vast spaces aboard include an almost 40 square metre main saloon with a movie theatre and a full beam dining area forward. The main deck also boasts service areas with a fully-equipped galley and a 25-square metre pantry with separate access fro the crew.
Accommodation comprises four VIP cabins on the lower deck with twin and double beds, as well as private en-suite bathrooms. This area is connected through a hallway with the crew quarters, which can be accessed without compromising on guests’ privacy. The crew is accommodated in three cabins and have a washroom, laundry and storerooms at their disposal in the crew quarters.
The upper deck is dedicated to the owner, providing fantastic panoramic views and complete privacy – and aspect specifically requested by the owner and a popular concept amongst experienced customers.
The overall layout also incorporates day heads on each deck, allowing the owner to host a considerable number of guests on board, respecting complete privacy for both him and his family and their private cabins.
When it comes to GIPSY’s performance, the new OTAM 35, exploiting the yard’s engineering capabilities enhanced by the successful experience designing and building the Millennium Line, in collaboration with their long-standing partner Naval Architect Umberto Tagliavini, has designed a very efficient semi-displacement hull that will provide this vessel with a top speed of 22 knots and a considerable range of 1,000 nautical miles at 11 knots.
The OTAM 35SD Custom Range was created with special attention to limiting draft. The hull below the waterline has been created with semi-tunnels that make the yacht very versatile. The is ideal for comfortable cruises in international waters like the U.S., the Caribbean, where a limited draft becomes a key factor.
