Stability and performance, together with wide volumes, are the goals we attained in designing this hull. The shape of the rudder and the profile of the fin are the result of state-of-the-art research aimed at delivering high speeds and blistering performance as well as allowing helmsmen perfect control and easy handling in any kind of navigation and weather condition. The development and optimisation of these geometries are based on the constant flow of information that our studio gathers in real time from its yachts: Maxis, Minimaxis and TP52s that compete with great success all over the world. The wide maximum beam that runs uninterrupted all the way to the stern yields an unusually large saloon area for a yacht of this size. These elements together with the most advanced technologies allowed us to create a design of unmatched beauty that performs incredibly well under sail yet is outstandingly easy to handle.

The A66 is brainchild of two world-class design studios: Nauta Design and Reichel/Pugh. Nauta describes the new 66’ yacht thus: “Modernity, ease of handling and seduction are the key words for the design we created for Advanced Yachts. We designed the yacht with an aggressive, new-generation hull shape that features large, load-bearing aft volumes and deck geometries that communicate a sense of speed and efficiency. The almost oversized cockpit evokes a relaxing, summer cruise atmosphere while the large glass surfaces on the coachroof make sailing truly enjoyable in any season. Below deck, we have created a welcoming environment with a large, open space saloon and 360-degree wraparound windows. Separate areas for different functions make life on board as comfortable as at home”.
