Benetti’s Livorno yacht factory has delivered the first model in the builder’s B.Now 67 series, christened Iryna, to her unspecified owner. Co-designed by RWD, the 66.2m x 11.2m, six-deck vessel has a steel hull, an aluminium superstructure and a maximum draught of 3.1m, and displaces 1,150tonnes at full load.
The megayacht incorporates Benetti’s Oasis Deck concept, which spans 190m2 of surface area and features open-out wings to extend the deck’s width, while offering “an unobstructive 270° view towards the stern”, Benetti says. Overall, Iryna boasts 500m2 of useable outdoors space, while interior features include a 65m2 main salon and a full-beam owner’s suite on the upper deck. Two VIP cabins are arranged on the main deck, and four on the lower deck, enabling the vessel to accommodate up to 15 guests.
The hull and superstructure colouring takes in three different shades of grey. “The boat is also characterised by extensive, mainly curved glazing that covers up to 70% of the overall vertical surface area,” Benetti adds.
Powered by twin Caterpillar 3512E engines, Iryna has a range of 5,000nm at a cruise speed of 12knots. The vessel is also equipped with a Naiad 200kW bow thruster. Onboard capacities include 115,000litres of fuel oil and 33,000litres of fresh water. The project took around three years to complete, Benetti says, with classification having been handled by Lloyd’s Register.
