Modern Glimpse of Tradition-Yacht: Ceccarelli 42 Showcases a Timeless, Innovative Design
The Ceccarelli 42, a stunning yacht with a unique blend of traditional woodwork features and high-performance design, has recently made waves in the luxury yachting world. This 42-meter vessel, built at the Checchi Shipyard in north-western Italy, is the brainchild of renowned designer Giovanni Ceccarelli, created specifically for the Lacorte couple.
The yacht, named LuluNikka, boasts a sleek hull design with slender lines, low freeboard, deep bulwarks, and a long aft deck, reflecting earlier yacht styles while maintaining modern efficiency. The hull length measures 12.86m (42ft 2in), and the beam is 3.16m (10ft 4in). The draught is 2.78m (9ft 2in), and the boat features a high-aspect deep draught torpedo bulb keel and an efficient single rudder below the waterline, ensuring smooth sailing and excellent handling.
LuluNikka's interior showcases her timber construction at its best, with extensive woodwork reminiscent of past yachting eras. The accommodation is welcoming, designed for weekend use, and showcases the yacht's construction in its interior. The vessel can comfortably accommodate up to six guests in three cabins, providing an intimate and luxurious onboard experience.
Tiller steering is suitable for the boat's style, aiding in easier solo and short-handed maneuvering. The cockpit space can be used for apres sail socializing, making LuluNikka an ideal choice for both leisurely cruises and competitive sailing.
