Luxury motor yacht Azimut 66

Structure and shape of hull

Construction materials and techniques have been carefully researched in order to find the best balance between quality, weight, and rigidity.
The hull, deck, deckhouse, trays and structures are made of high performance sandwich panel with PVC core to achieve maximum rigidity and impact resistance.
An infusion lamination system has been used for these parts, a technique that reduces weight while improving the control and quality of the construction.
Vinylester resin is used for lamination of the first layers of the hull. Due to its chemical and physical properties, this type of resin is extremely effective in preventing osmosis. Isophthalic resin is used for the remaining layers. Azimut is therefore able to provide a 5-year warranty against osmosis.

• Hull
• Deck
