DESIGNER’S COMMENTS:
The Vismara 50 Mills is our third collaboration with the progressive Italian yard Vismara Marine. This high-performance cruiser was created for experienced clients with a racing background who spend extended periods cruising in the Mediterranean every year. Drawn with a focus equally on performance and comfortable cruising, the owners played an active role in developing the detail of ‘Big Star’. The bright interiror is finished in a very clean minimalist style to produce a modern yacht above decks and below. Performance is the result of the carbon construction keeping displacement to the minimum, a deep fin keel allowing the bulb to add stability, and a sizable but easy-to-handle sailplan providing the horsepower.
