It will be one of the most trendy boats of the 2019 season, we are talking about the new Maxi Dolphin 75 that we had told you about HERE. The time to hit the water is getting closer and closer, as are the first sailing edges.

Maxi Dolphin MD75 by Mills has left the Erbusco shipyard in which it was built to reach the waters of Varazze where it will face its very first technical launch. Once it passes the initial test, this cruiser/racer sailboat will be transferred to Genoa where the Maxi Dolphin team will proceed with mast installation.

Designed to ensure the most high performance in racing but, at the same time, to ensure the maximum comfort in cruising, the Maxi Dolphin 75 effectively interprets the expectations of its owner, who relied on a highly experienced and sensitive project manager to get a sailboat capable of being simple to conduct, performance and fast in navigation, comfortable and cozy To experience the sea with one’s family.

“We developed the design in collaboration with the Project Manager and Owner,” explains Mark Mills, ” who believe in a
design under the banner of simplicity and lightness
. This vision, fundamental to achieving the required performance, led us to design a
extremely elegant deck plan
,
almost above water
, absolutely
clean and clear
, with the cross-references of all the rigging running below deck to the winches located forward in front of the rudders,” says Mark Mills.

Made of carbon, the Maxi Dolphin 75 will have a retractable keel: “This will allowher to take full advantage of the speed performance that the
square-top mainsail
” continues Mills.

Generous spaces for maximum comfort

As for theinterior design of the new Maxi Dolphin 75′, Nauta Design was inspired by a classic style with marine elements revisited with a modern twist, in which lightness and cleanliness are the leitmotif of the geometries and decor. Bulkheads, masonry, and furniture are decorated in the “lambris” style: the lower part is made of oak with a “scratched” effect, which conveys a warm, welcoming feeling, while the upper part is made of white panels that enhance the clean design.

The layout provides generous spaces for all areas. Thelarge living room, which is accessed by the convenient, very wide, low-slung entrance staircase, provides a dining area with a table for 6 to 8 people and a large sofa lounge that can comfortably accommodate four people lying down.

Immediately forward is the sleeping area, which provides up to 7 berths in 3 comfortable cabins, all with their own bathrooms with separate shower stalls.

The area furthest forward is occupied by the master suite, which accommodates a large double bed and is connected to a spacious bathroom, with double sinks and separate shower stall.

The guest cabin on the left has two separate beds that can join into a single double bed on the broadside, and the additional coach allows for three berths. Finally aft, to starboard of the engine room, there is a third guest cabin with a double bed and private bathroom.

Aft of the salon, to the left, is the galley open to the salon for better quality service on board and with which it shares the same style. Through the galley you reach the crew cabin, with stacked beds. The Maxi Dolphin75 also has a convenient and functional garage for a 3.27-meter tender.
