SOLARIS POWER 55

LOA 56ft 4in (17.2m) BEAM 17ft 4in (5.3m) ENGINES Volvo Penta IPS800/950 TOP SPEED 35 knots PRICE FROM £1.49m ex VAT

Norberto Ferretti’s new project makes its international debut at Cannes with a great deal of expectation given his influence together with the striking lobster-boat design by Solent University naval architecture graduate Brunello Acampora.

Available with 600hp or 725hp IPS engines the top speed is a claimed

35 knots and with a category A RCD rating we would expect the seakeeping to be accomplished.

The cockpit features folding terraces to open up a cockpit that includes a dining table and four-person sunpad to complement the ones on the foredeck and atop the wheelhouse. The interior layout is flexible and offers from two to four cabins on the lower deck – plus a small crew cabin in the bow – with the option to have the galley up or down. Solaris will also launch a 48ft, Ips-powered open boat at the show.
