NEW OTAM 35 m M/Y GIPSY AT MONACO YACHT SHOW 2016

The new OTAM SD 35 offers a unique amount of living space on board. Her aluminium construction allows the yard, in close collaboration with the client, to create a  unique  version  that  reflects  personal  taste  both in  interior  layouts  and exterior  lines,  both  of  which  have  been  assigned  to  Tommaso Spadolini,  the famous international yacht design office.

In addition the SD35 has a displacement of 295 GT, at the maximum limit of the category, offering superior volumes for the 300 GT category.

The  interiors,  again  unique  and  full-custom  built  like  a  bespoke  suit,  are another OTAM strength since ever. And with her 295 GRT displacement, therefore under 300 GRT “limit”, the yacht offers remarkable larger volumes than any other competitor in her category.

With OTAM’s hull number one in the Custom Range–m/y “GIPSY”–the client was very adamant that the layout would totally reflect his personal approach to life at sea.

The main deck is completely dedicated to her guest’s daily activities, and their leisure or business/corporate entertainment. The large spaces available include a nearly 40 square meter main salon with movie theatre and a full beam dining area forward. The main deck also hosts the service areas, with a fully furnished galley  and  a 25  square  meter  pantry with separate  access  for  the  crew guaranteeing the best quality of life for the owner and his guests.

The four VIP cabins with twin and double beds and relative en-suites baths are on  the lower  deck,  in  an  area  connected  by  a  hallway  to  the  crew’s  quarters. Here too crew access is carefully located without infringing on guest privacy in order  to  guarantee highest standard  of  service  on  board  and  the  slightest interaction  with  members  of  crew.  Crew  quarter  is  equipped  with  4  cabins  and washrooms, the laundry and storerooms.

The full owner’s upper deck, offering exclusive views and complete privacy, was expressly  requested  by  the  client,  re-launching  a  popular  concept  among experienced owners who desire exclusivity and a more intimate relation with the sea.

The layout also includes day-heads on each deck. Guests therefore don’t have to return to their cabins, and the owner can host a considerable number of guests respecting  complete  privacy  for  both  him  and  his  family’s  cabins  and  living areas.

In regards to performance, the new OTAM SD35, exploiting the yard’s engineering capabilities  enhanced  by  the  successful  experience  designing  and  building  the Millennium  Line,  together  with  their  long  standing  partner Naval  Architect Umber to  Tagliavini,  has  designed  a very  efficient  semi-displacement  hull  that will give the OTAM SD 35a top speed of 20 knots and a considerable range of over 2,000 nautical miles at 11 knots.

In designing the OTAM Custom Range special attention was paid to limiting her draft. The hull below the waterline features semi-tunnels that make the SD35 a very versatile yacht, perfect for a comfortable cruise in international waters like  U.S.  and  the  Caribbean,  where  a  limited  draft becomes  a  key  factor  to consider.
