| Cresta 70 Motor Yacht |
Cresta Motor Yachts has had a very productive first quarter of 2011. Firstly, Cresta announced that the '70 Motor Yacht' will be Australasia's first vessel to demonstrate the highly anticipated 3rd generation IPS, IPS-1200. The 70 Motor Yacht is now set to raise the bar in luxury motor yacht quality and performance. The triple installation offers owners a massive 2700hp of standard pod drive propulsion. "Conservative performance predictions are pointing towards a maximum speed upwards of 40 knots, with a range of 600NM at a cruising speed of 26 knots" said Gavin Rooney, Regional Application Engineer, Volvo Penta Oceania. The 70 Motor Yacht will also feature Volvo's highly acclaimed Sport Fish Mode and DPS (Digital Positioning System).
Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Tim Ballintine commented, "It is straight forward - this propulsion package will allow Cresta owners to get out faster, stay out longer and explore further than any other vessel in its class".
In commenting on the agreement Andrew Nicholson, National Sales Manager, Volvo Penta Oceania said, "This exciting agreement paves the way for a first class vessel to demonstrate first class performance. We are very pleased by this development with Cresta".
In other Cresta news, Sam Sorgiovanni, arguably the world's leading superyacht and luxury motor yacht designer has helped enhance the styling of the 70 Motor Yacht. Given Cresta's philosophy on attracting the best personnel in the business, it seemed a natural progression that Cresta would approach Mr. Sorgiovanni to be part of the Cresta team. Mr Sorgiovanni has contributed significantly to the profile of the 70 Motor Yacht.
"Cresta vessels have always carried a distinctive signature look, especially with the flare in the bow and knuckle in the sheer line. I was able to add some of my own style and influence to the superstructure of the 70, which has helped complement both the hull and superstructure, whilst still maintaining that very distinctive Cresta profile" said Sam Sorgiovanni.
