Designed in Norway and built in Poland, Sting 610 BR won the European Powerboat of the Year 2017 in the category up to 25 feet. Let’s discover why.
Even the name evokes something little, fast and “annoying”, like a mosquito, where the sleek and bold look further confirms this idea. Actually Sting 610 BR is fast and adrenaline on one hand, but also pleasant and livable on the other.
Sting 610 BR: care for the details
Designed in Norway and built in Poland by Mirage Boat, Sting 610 BR is a proper “European” boatas she manages to match the needs of Nordic boaters with those of the Mediterranean ones. All perfectly mixed in a body which is not only aggressive as said earlier, but also original and well-balanced. These are among the reasons that made her our 2017 European Powerboat of the Year in the category up to 25 feet.
Great attention is dedicated to life on board the Sting 610 BR: the bow hides the anchor locker so it will never soil the deck, but also leaves a comfortable passage for front access. Maybe bowriders never encountered good success in some European Countries, but the trend is changing. Although in this case the tapered bow reduces the space and there is only settees for two. There is also a DC version with with a fore superstructure and a small cabin, or the fully-open model S.
It gets better in the cockpit where the aft U-sofa is cozy and immediately converts into dinette (or sun bed), while the helm station of Sting 610 BR boasts standard hydraulic steering. An excellent level of finish and an easy access from the stern complete the features. As for the engine, the yard suggests an output between 90 and 150 HP, and considering the standard water-ski pole, more power will highlight the…stingy nature of Sting 610 BR. Maybe a good choice is the new Evinrude 150 G2 (here the presentation of the G2 family).
