It was only two years ago that Rodriquez Cantieri Navali chose
to add luxury yachting to its impressive roster of ship-building
accomplishments. Since 1956, the shipyard has built more than 250 vessels,
including fast ferries, hydrofoils and patrol boats found in various government,
navy and shipping operations. Adding the former Intermarine Shipyard at Sarzana
(La Spezia) to its collection of Italian marine facilities provided the company
the necessary space and equipment to make the leap from ship building to yacht
building, and it was this facility that subsequently delivered Light Blue. The tri-deck is the first luxury yacht to
come from subsidiary Rodriquez Yachts and is the forerunner of its Custom
Series. | Click on the Spec and Design tab at top to see complete list of resources. |
Florentine designer Francesco Paszkowski styled the 38-meter
aluminum yacht, which he describes using a swan simile. While her lines are
indeed graceful, her profile might also be seen as aggressive, with classic
undertones.
 In creating Light Blue, Paszkowski,
along with interior designer Mauro Micheli, emphasized interior volume. Thus,
she features a widebody main deck with side decks that run only from the bridge
deck forward and along the sides of the main salon. Her interior has been kept
neat with a modern, industrial design defining the furniture and décor. Leather,
rosewood and metals keep her paneling interesting, though clean, and a light
color scheme keeps her open atmosphere intact. Seamless transitions are created
by the free flow between the main salon and aft deck on the main level, and
skylounge and bridge deck on the upper level. (Click image to enlarge)
Twin Cat 3512B engines provide her the power to reach top speeds of 25 knots.
Appropriately, the yard transferred the advanced monitoring, control and
stabilization technologies of Rodriquez Marine Systems customary in its
commercial builds of Light
Blue and will apply the same
to all subsequent builds.
