Ancasta announces line-up for boot Düsseldorf
Beneteau First 36
Ancasta International Boat Sales has confirmed its selection of yachts, motorboats and catamarans for 2023 boot Düsseldorf (21-29 January 2023).
“boot Dusseldorf is a magnificent show, and this year we’ve got something for everyone,” says Will Blair, Ancasta group marketing director.
“With over 2,000 exhibitors in 16 giant halls, virtually every boating brand on the planet will be on display, so if someone is looking to purchase, there is no better venue to compare brands and models.
“We’ll be representing an extensive range of impressive yachts and powerboats and strongly encourage anyone who is serious about buying to visit the show and book an appointment with us.”
The line-up at boot Düsseldorf includes Beneteau Power & Sail, Lagoon Catamaran, Prestige Motor Yachts, Bluegame and Sanlorenzo.
“In addition to the fantastic models we’ve got available to view, visitors will also be able to get a first glance at a full-size mock-up of the new CNB 78 interior, as well as chat to the teams at McConaghy Multihulls and Sanlorenzo to discuss the design and build of their next, truly customised, sailing or power boat.”
Ancasta will be showcasing the Beneteau First 36, which won Performance Yacht of the Year at the British Yachting Awards.
Blair says it’s perfectly optimised for short-handed sailing. He calls it a high-performance boat, owing to its very high sail area/displacement coefficient and balanced nautical design. A standard aluminium mast, cast iron keel and 2.25m draught have been chosen to offer the best combination of performance and ease of handling, whether on the racecourse or on family day-sailing trips.
Joining the First 36 will be the First 27 and 44, the First Yacht 53, Beanteau Oceanis 30.1, 34.1, 40.1, 46.1 and 51.1, and the elegant and sophisticated Oceanis Yacht 60.
The recently launched Swift Trawler 48 will be leading the fleet from Beneteau Power. Blair says this offers panoramic views from its 20 sqm flybridge, while the aft cockpit can accommodate a folding table and two director’s chairs which, together with the large bench seat, maximise the indoor/outdoor living space.
The hull has been optimised to provide a boat that is both comfortable and efficient. The slender bow is remarkably seaworthy, which reduces fuel consumption to give 600 nautical miles of range at nine knots and makes sailing safer.
The Swift Trawler 48 will be accompanied by Beneteau Power’s Gran Turismo 36 and 46, as well as the Grand Trawler 62.
The spacious Lagoon 46 will be available to view as well as the Prestige M48 (the first power catamaran from Prestige Yachts).
Ancasta will also be showing Sanlorenzo’s Bluegame’s BG54, BG72 and BGX60. These, says the company, offer yachtsmen a totally new style of living life at sea, reinventing traditional layouts. Highly customisable, the designs are both disruptive and innovative, creating unprecedented, multifunctional living spaces combined with extraordinary seaworthiness.
Plus, the 24m Sanlorenzo SD90 featuring an interior by Patricia Urquiloa, will be available to view. This has an optimised hull design coupled with hybrid propulsion, which enables the SD90 to reach top speeds of 17 knots with a fuel capacity of 13,000 litres.
