Digit for Azimut.

Replacing a known quantity is always risky. Success, such as Jay
Leno supplanting Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show," can mean big bucks.
Failure means fiscal and brand damage: Remember New Coke? Thus, Azimut planned
well its successor to the popular 100 Jumbo motor yacht
(35 units over 10
years) – a Stefano Righini-designed 105-foot semi-
displacement yacht.
A variation on the raised pilothouse, the 105 includes a
split-level fully covered flybridge sun deck. In the five-stateroom
configuration, the owner’s suite is forward on the main deck and features a
sunken head. The four ensuite guest staterooms are belowdecks along with
accommodation for eight crew. The four-stateroom layout puts the master,
guestrooms and crew berths on the lower deck, adding a forward media room to the
main-deck salon, dining room and galley.
Carlo Galeazzi’s interior extends design elements originally
created for the Azimut 75. Matte-finished cherry joinery surrounds movable
furniture. Leather inserts highlight neutral fabrics, stateroom drapes sweep the
floor, and the bathrooms feature modern square fittings and accessories.
The composite-hulled 105 has a 21-foot beam and cruises at 24
knots on a pair of 2,000-hp MTU diesels.
