A second notable feature is the incredible perspective fore and
aft from the salon. When the doors separating the various areas are latched open
there is a clear view from bow to stern.Inside, this 85-footer looks like a 100-footer, with no fewer
than six cabins, five bathrooms, nav station and crew mess. The same slingshot
construction visible on the outside becomes a structural element on the inside
with shelving running along the length of both sides to support beds, sofas,
kitchen units, closets and even a shower seat.
 Padded cotton covers protect unsecured
furnishings during races.

The seating/dining concept above deck is reproduced below with
two tables that can accommodate 16 people. Bench seating provides easy stowage
or can be folded up along its length. This modular design is something Lazzarini
Pickering first explored aboard Wally B. Another Wally-esque feature is the
fiddle on the continuous shelf structure that doubles as a grab rail, which is
something of a Lazzarini Pickering trademark after appearing on the new Wally
80.
 The interior is also easy to maintain when kids
are aboard.

Three kinds of lighting are used on board to different effects.
Primary illumination is provided by fluorescent lamps behind diffuser ceiling
panels by Barrisol. Halogen lights are used in the flexible reading lamps, while
LEDs provide accented illumination.
 Despite its minimalist appearance, Roma’s interior is
rich in functional details. To keep weight to a minimum, the storage units are
made of specially thinned leather and then treated during the tanning process to
make them water-resistant. The overhead closets have leather covers that can be
held open with magnets, while bags strapped under the beds can be removed and
used as elegant holdalls
while ashore. Indeed, every detail aboard
Roma
seems to have a dual purpose. Even her four-meter tender can be motor-driven or
double as a fast sailing skiff. And when stowed in the aft cockpit, it continues
the shape of the stern and camber of the deck so when covered with a pad it
blends into the furnishings as extra seating. By blurring the seemingly
insurmountable distinction between fast racing and comfortable cruising,
Roma
represents a new trajectory in design and technology. (Click image to enlarge)
