News: New Tankoa 53M 'Saetta' Project

53-meter 'Saetta' Concept From Tankoa Yachts
​

Italian yard Tankoa Yachts just unveiled their latest concept called 'Saetta' and it is a 53-meter long craft. The S533 as it is also known as, is 53-meters long as the model number suggests and at its widest point is around 9.2-meters. The design is that of Francesco Paszkowski and showcases fresh modern lines on a tri-deck platform. The idea is for maximum connection to the sea and relaxation emphasized. This explains the wide utilization of glass on the concept. The lines are clean and free of unnecessary clutter on deck.

The yacht is a performer as you would get a hint from the design alone Mr. Paszkowski uses a low, squat format with aggressive lines making her appear powerful even at rest. Triple MTU 16V 2000 M94L diesels coupled to waterjets are envisioned for this yacht. These will allow her to top-out at around 24-knots. The range will be approximately 600 nautical miles at that pace but if a bit more range is needed in the mission then she can still fast cruise at 15 to 17-knots and easily run a 1,200 nautical mile range.

Onboard, her widest point is around 30-feet, but the amount of glazing incorporated certainly adds to the feel. Floor-to-ceiling glass is used on the main deck and continues down to the lower deck giving the illusion of a non-stop mirrored effect. No doubt, a lot of it is just for aesthetic value. Based on the number of chairs on the al-fresco dining area on the aft upper deck, the guest complement is for between 10 to 12 guests. Wide-open deck space on the aft decks allows for vision of a sea of teak. Day beds accompany the area for guests to relax in the most comfortable setting. The 53-meter S533 Saetta is the latest in a line of planing yachts from the Italian builder, just last year their unveiled a 58-meter variant.
