De Cesari 33 The DeCesari 33 is a modern classic from the drawing board of Italian designer Giovanni Ceccarelli. Despite classic lines above the waterline, this is a thoroughly modern yacht with a square topped mainsail and bulb keel. Designed as a weekender, accommodation is modest but stylish while there has also been emphasis placed on ease of handling and manoeuvring. Construction is laminated mahogany with a teak deck. This wooden construction lends itself to the interior which fairly gleams with beautifully finished woodwork.
Solaris 60 Solaris Yachts seem to embody the absolute epitome of Italian boatbuilding being stylish and sleek with decent performance. The new 60 sits towards the top end of their range and this Soto Acebel design has been conceived as a ‘mini maxi’ that will be a strong performer on the offshore racing circuit while also remaining a luxurious and comfortable cruising yacht. Weight is a relatively modest 25,000kg but make no mistake, this is a very well appointed yacht when in cruising mode. As you’d expect, the lines are suitably striking. Solarisyachts.com

Pogo 40s4 French manufacturer Pogo has proven itself to be a dab hand at putting together both fast cruisers and full blooded racers. The new 40s4 definitely sits in the latter category and is an exciting yacht particularly because she boasts an innovative ‘scow bow’ of the type first seen on Mini Transats. The new boat differs from previous Class 40s launched by Pogo as she is designed by Guillaume Verdier as opposed to Finot-Conq, The launch of this first boat is scheduled for April time and has been designed with the Route du Rhum in mind. The first model has been reserved by noted racer Jean Galfione. pogostructures.com
