According to owners Larry and Joan Castellani, their 24-meter Northern Marine expedition
yacht Julianne was supposed to be a 72-footer, got stretched to 84 feet
and ended up at the price of a 115-footer. Cost was never the primary
consideration; they simply did not want big. They wanted perfection and
proportion in a small package. Because they enjoy driving their own yacht, the
pair only specified accommodations for a captain and wife team as the sole crew.
This single-screw, FRP world-beater was designed for maximum ruggedness and
ergonomic efficiency without sacrificing aesthetics. Her interior is a pleasing
amalgam of traditional yacht details and cozy residential furnishings. Her
systems and construction are offshore-tough. In his review of the yacht, Mark
Masciarotte wrote, "A masterwork in traditional design, Julianne’s
joinery employs rich, satin-finished makoré for paneling and cabinetry in the
boat’s public spaces and for wainscoting in the staterooms, where the upper
cladding is executed in off-white, satin-finished bead-board." Owner Larry
Castellani said of the design, "Everything we did on the boat was for safety
first, reliability and convenience second, and comfort third."
