Italian shipyard Canados gave designer Luiz de Basto carte blanche to develop the
exterior and interior styling of its first open model, the Canados 90. The
U.S.-based de Basto, who grew up in Africa and has lived in Brazil, appreciates
sunshine and being close to nature—the same qualities that define an open
powerboat. With many of the newer, larger open yachts incorporating semi-rigid
or sliding sunroofs, de Basto was keen to come up with something new. His
solution was to use glass in abundance throughout the yacht. "Only glass can
give you the kind of contact with the marine environment that lies at the heart
of the open concept," said de Basto. One of the most striking features of the
Canados 90’s interior are two longitudinal glass beams in the coachroof
supported by arched pillars anchored to the engine room bulkhead. The yacht also
has a tempered-glass swim platform.
