The term "innovative" is admittedly vague and subjective, but you know it when you see it. Writer Justin Ratcliffe knew it when he saw Benetti’s Ambrosia, calling the 65-meter yacht "a masterpiece of technology." Built for Ambrous Young, a long-standing client and Azimut-Benetti Group business partner, Ambrosia is one of the largest yachts Benetti has launched and only the third private yacht to be fitted with diesel-electric propulsion pods. Called Azipods, these units provide Ambrosia increased maneuverability, improved fuel economy and near-silent operation. A sophisticated dynamic positioning system works with the pods to take full advantage of their remarkable versatility. It provides automatic control of the vessel’s position and heading by means of active thrust. The system, which interfaces with the bow thruster and stabilizer fins, can keep the yacht on a fixed location without anchoring and help her maneuver precisely in extremely tight quarters. The yacht also features a gyro-stabilized night vision camera as a navigational aid and security device.
