Sailing or motor boat? BD56from the Spanish yard BD Yachts is an exclusive concept which promises to deliver the best of both worlds.
“BD56 is an exclusive project that gathers in a single luxurious, original and refined “seagoing SUV” all the advantages of sail and motor boating. Dedicated to the new generation of expert and demanding owners who have no use for stereotypes”.All the stereotypes of the “glamour” boating have been quoted for this boat from the Spanish BD Yachts, yard with a long experience in building luxury megayachts and performing racers.
BD56 for everybody
BD56 è uno yacht “custom made” che scavalca i concetti di “vela” e “motore” e vuole inaugurare un “nuovo modo di navigare”. Lungo 16,66 metri per 4,5 metri di larghezza, colpisce per la sovrastruttura interamente vetrata che si accorda con le linee sportive e performanti dello scafo.
Vacuum infused in vinylester resin, BD56 features a retractable keel (with draft spacing from 3.5 meter to 2.1), carbon fiber mast, roller furling mainsail and self-tacking jib. The clean and ergonomic deck layout with twin wheels brings all controls to hand, easing crew work and guaranteeing safety for all her guests.
In case of dead calm, or if a storm arrives, or whenever it’s time to rapidly get back to harbor, BD56 quickly transforms into a fast motor yacht capable of a safe and comfortable speed of 21 knots, thanks to the two outboard motors. This solution not only increases performance at sea, but it also enhances available interior volume and allows further options for interior layouts to satisfy the needs of her owner.
BD56 is easy to sail even by a less experienced crew. The in-boom roller reefing mainsail allows for easy reefing and lowering of the mainsail, as does the roller furling for the self-tacking jib.
In addition, the two outboard engines and the joystick controls should make her extremely easy to maneuver.
The bright salon, on the same level as the cockpit, is the heart of the boat and thanks to electrically commanded overheads, doors and crystal walls, allows to enjoy the sea view in any weather, with a 360° panorama. The layout features three twin cabins, each with its own bathroom – and two with separate showers. All the cabins are spacious and filled with light, with excellent headroom. But the client will have the final say in choosing layout, trims and materials, and even the engines.
