    Inspired by Conam’s managing director Engineer Giuseppe Cimino and combined with the flair of designer Francesco Paszkowski’s hand who has styled the external and internal views, and along with Rodriquez Yachts’ own Stefano Porcini, they have all come together to create an ideal 75 foot pleasure boat.

    They are supported by the in-house technicians specialized in the construction of highly advanced fast ferries up to 150 meters, and more so by the construction methods of Intermarine whose know how in lamination processes is to a very high standard due to their rich military background. Finally, a highly sophisticated stabilization system engineered and designed by Rodriquez Marine System will be installed and is similar to such systems normally found only on large high speed ships where a smooth ride is a fundamental part of the operating criteria.

    As with the existing 60 WideBody, Conam has made full use of the beam of the boat for the on-board space for both relaxation and entertainment without compromising its aggressive style and high performance. With the 75 WideBody however, Conam has made great progress in obtaining what is considered to be true luxury: space.

    THE WIDEBODY CONCEPT: A 24 METER THAT IS MORE LIKE A 30 METER

    Focusing in on the WideBody concept, this allows for more deck space and interior space that would normally be found on a 30 meter yacht but with all of the advantages of a boat under 24 m.

    The hull, made in GRP, is designed to maintain a stable and comfortable ride even as the she is pushed faster. The new CONAM 75 WideBody can reach 30 knots without ever losing stability which in turn allows for guests to relax and enjoy their cruise on board.

    Power is provided by two 1570 HP Caterpillar diesel engines and they are directly coupled to dedicated fixed pitch propellers in a V-drive configuration. The boat has a cruising range of 400 miles and quickly reaches the cruising speed of about 28 knots with the highest level of stability, a hallmark of Rodriquez’s production.

    Also, the old concept of trim tabs have been abandoned in lieu of a new system developed by Rodriquez Marine System, Intruders. The Intruders are special highly efficient control surfaces that automatically make rapid and fast movements to optimize the longitudinal trim of the vessel in any sea conditions.

    More importantly, the new CONAM 75 WideBody gets up on a plane at a lower speed than others, even under adverse conditions, which in turn reduces fuel costs.

    THE INTERIOR

    The interior, designed by Francesco Paszkowski, has a simple style being both refined yet never excessive. The boat has large windows that give luminosity to the interiors whilst providing the guests with beautiful external views.

    The dining room has wonderful natural light from the numerous windows throughout this area. The brightness of this area is complimented by the prevalent cream color for the saloon area where natural cotton, linen and leather combine tastefully with the wood and chrome accessories.

    The saloon is designed to a simple and very elegant style. The unique ceiling treatment dominates the circular sofa made from navy blue leather.

    There are four cabins: One for the owner and three for guests, two of which are doubles and one a VIP cabin. Each cabin is outfitted in a unique colour scheme. Beige, cream and bronze are used for the owner’s, turquoise, blue and cream for the VIP cabin, light green and natural tones for the remaining guest cabins. In the bathrooms the floor is teak parquet with the furniture in cherry wood. The walls are finished in a cream colour and the stainless steel accessories provide both a modern and soft feel.

    Within the sophisticated wheelhouse, designed also by Rodriquez Marine System, there is a small sofa for guests to observe the activities and a useful map table. The wheelhouse is accessible from the saloon by a small stairwell and also has direct access to the upper deck outside.

    EXTERNAL ARRANGEMENTS

    The boat can be in one or two colours with the hull being dark blue and the superstructure cream, though other colour combinations are available depending on the owner’s preference.

    The large aft cockpit is furnished in the same colour as the hull as is the fly bridge. Towards the bow, there are two moulded areas for the sun mattresses. For protection from the sun when at anchor, there is a folding bimini cover that extends from the roll bar. When not in use, this cover is entirely concealed in its own storage pocket.

    Thanks to the efficient use of space, the designers have created a large garage in the stern where there is sufficient space to store a 3.7 meter tender as well as a Jet Ski. There are two helm stations. One in the raised pilot house located approximately midships and the other being external on the upper deck.
