SYDNEY BOAT SHOW: Azuree 46 to debut

Importers Premier Yachting says the Azuree 46 is a beautifully appointed cruiser/racer capable of impressive performance, designed for those with an eye for fast cruising in comfort and style.

Built by Sirena Marine, one of Europe’s leading boat-builders, the Rob Humphreys-designed Azuree 46 is the new flagship of the Azuree range. the 46 is the first Sirena Marina model to be designed and produced following a management restructure under new CEO Ipek Kirac.

Developed by Sirena Marine’s new team and built at the company’s hi-tech, purpose-built factory in Bursa, Turkey, this latest Azuree, says Humphreys, is: "A beautifully appointed world-class yacht, manufactured to the highest modern boatbuilding standards for owners looking for fast cruising in comfort and style."

Providing high levels of safety and comfort both on the open seas and in anchorage, the 46 features an innovative cockpit with fold-down bathing platform and seats that transform quickly into sunbeds. When passage making or racing, the cockpit sunbeds and table fold away just as quickly to provide ample room for the crew to work the cockpit. Other options include a carbon rig together with a bowsprit to make setting of Code 0 headsails and gennakers easier and to further extend the boat's performance capability.

Below decks, we're told  the Azuree 46 exudes style and creativity. The use of light-oak in the interior accentuates the feeling of freshness and space throughout a light, capacious six-berth three-cabin layout. Accommodation includes an owner’s suite forward and two staterooms aft that convert into single-berthed cabins when required, with the option also to have a separate single cabin for a professional crew.

Underlining the significance of the Azuree 46, Sirena Marine CEO Ipek Kirac said: "The new 46 marks the culmination of an exciting new chapter in our company’s development. We have worked tirelessly to bring together local high quality boatbuilding skills and facilities with top international yacht designers. The new 46 now provides further evidence that we have something very special indeed to offer anyone looking for the best in modern boatbuilding."
