A project this innovative could hardly pass unnoticed. Monte Carlo Yachts, a company of the Beneteau Group created less than two years ago, presents itself on the market with its first model – the MCY 76 yacht – and right off the bat wins two awards at the prestigious WORLD YACHTS TROPHIES. This is an important honour both for the Italian brand, which has succeeded in putting itself in the limelight in such a short time, and for the Beneteau Group, the world leader in the sailing sector, which sees its strategic choice of investing in the luxury motor yacht sector being rewarded.

In September, the attention of yachting fans and those interested in luxury is concentrated on Cannes, where the Festival de la Plaisance marks the start of the new boating season. In the framework of this event, on Saturday, 11 September, on the beach of the Hotel Carlton along the Croisette, the World Yacht Trophies 2010 were awarded.
The MCY 76 motor yacht came away with two prizes: the Best Design Trophy and the Most Innovative Trophy. The jury thus put the accent on the innovative scope of the project, both in design and in the adoption of cutting-edge technological solutions. The MCY 76’s high, flared hull, the Portuguese deck forward, the glass and steel flybridge supports, the radar mast: already at first glance this 23-metre flybridge yacht demonstrates that it has brilliantly overcome the stylistic constraints that have conditioned yachting in the last twenty years. Digging down deeper one discovers also the strong technological contents that stand out on the motor yacht MCY 76. Technology in service to functionality and environmental compatibility: the photovoltaic panels sunk in the carbon T-top generate part of the electricity needed for onboard life; the aerospace-derived sewage treatment system transforms the contents of the tank that collects the drainage from all the bathrooms into pure water; the infusion process estende to all the components eliminates atmospheric emissions and reduces weights and consumption; and the auto trim system enhances comfort and contributes to cutting down on fuel consumption as well.
