At the Cannes Yachting Festival Bluegame BG62 will have the world preview. The new sport utility yacht from Italy will be powered by twin Volvo Penta Ips1350 or Ips1200.
Italian brand Bluegame, now part of Sanlorenzo, has designed a fun and functional model that is also comfortable and stylish. Given the characteristics, Blugame BG62 is ideal for sea-lovers and water-sport passionate. Its hull is designed specifically for good seaworthiness in any weather condition, while the open stern deck matches customers’ needs for many activities.
Ips is the answer
In terms of propulsion, the requirement was for low fuel consumption – high efficiency, low noise and vibration, and reduced dimensions. Volvo Penta Ips ticks all the boxes, while another peculiarity of the system makes it even more a good choice for the BG62: we are talking of maneuverability, as Bluegame yachts are mainly operated by owners and their families, without the help of a captain or crew, and the joystick driving and docking system make their life easier and safer.
