The Sessantasette 67 Corsa is clearly derived from the Sessantasette 67, the flybridge yacht which the Shipyard unveiled in 2022. The differences between the two models are immediately evident, however, if you compare the two profiles. The superstructure of the Corsa is significantly lighter: the third deck indeed takes on the typical sportbridge layout: an elegant mini-fly without t-top. This creates sleeker lines, giving the yacht a sporty character. The pulpit which juts out further compared to the flybridge model and the red colour accents which set the new model apart help reinforce this sensation.
The Sessantasette 67 Corsa features an original selection of materials, as can already be seen on the external deck. The caulking of the teak is grey, while the sunbed and seats featuring an elegant contrasting interplay with the vertical surfaces in black leather and the horizontal ones upholstered in lighter fabrics, always with a subtle but evident red bead at the junction between the two tones. These are also stylistic choices which make the character of the yacht’s real emotional centre special: the stern cockpit, which is effectively a large outdoor seating area with a Mediterranean flavour. The space offered in the Corsa version is even more generous than that in the flybridge version, precisely because this area is designed for meals, socialising and relaxation at any time of day.
The portion of the cockpit sheltered by the upper deck is deep and completely open at the stern to offer a view of the sea or marina free of obstructions. To the sides, two large windows with electric opening provide interplays of light and shadow which are extremely evocative and contribute to the natural ventilation of the area. In order to make this area – served by an extending table, a C-shaped couch and dinette with cooker, refrigerator, icemaker and retractable TV – as liveable as possible, there are also cooling vents for use at the hottest time of the day. Further to the stern, beyond the part covered by the flybridge, is a large sunbed with cushions at the same height as the sofas, to ensure the same uninterrupted view of the sea. For the same reason, the sunbed does not have a fixed backrest, but rather removable cushions which allow the part of the sunbed facing the cockpit to be used as a further seat, served by an original removable pivoting table.
The sunbed is located above the hangar door. In the outside part of the door are stereo speakers to entertain the guests enjoying the beach area. The station features a lift allowing it to raise, lower and move forwards to facilitate launching and recovery of the toys and to ensure the highest levels of comfort for those choosing to relax on the beach area. Opening the door leads to a convenient shower and a garage with sufficient space to house a 3.25 metre tender.
On the side of the cockpit occupied by the kitchenette is a spectacular staircase with floating treads leading to the flybridge, furnished with corner sofa and sunbed. This is the ideal place to experience sunsets both when anchored and cruising, making use of then compact steering console which allows all the yacht’s systems to be controlled.
The concept of the Corsa line excludes the presence of a t-top, a choice which, as well as providing a sleeker profile for the yacht, ensures a lower and more stable centre of gravity and an overall lighter vessel, the latter bolstered by the use of carbon fibre in many components, including the elegant radar mast. The flybridge area can nevertheless be sheltered by a sail sunshade which attaches to four removable rods housed in the lockers incorporated in the sofa. An identical solution can also be used in the part of the cockpit not covered by the flybridge.
Forward of the main deck is an innovative open air living area. In addition to the large sundeck with adjustable backrest, this area offers a real living room set-up with a sofa (in the sailing direction) and two facing armchairs with pivoting tables.
The living area leads onto the stern outdoor seating area via an elegant glass door, while to starboard, at the level of the control panel, is a door which provides access to the gangways. This door, along with the fully opening door on the side of the galley and the electrically opening upwind companionway hatch, ensure excellent natural ventilation of the interior, as well.
The pilot station is placed centrally for an optimal view, and the large comfortable captain’s chair is flanked by a twin seat to make this space welcoming and sociable. The navigation panel is equipped with the very best that electronics can offer today, allowing the owner to manoeuvre the boat and manage all home automation and entertainment systems with ease.
The staircase leading to the lower deck areas opens up in front of the pilot station. The layout and furnishings of the lower deck are the same as in the flybridge version, with the possibility for purchasers to choose between versions with three or four cabins.
Thanks to the Cranchi Atelier programme, three décor choices developed by Christian Grande are also available for the Sessantasette 67 Corsa. The internationally renowned designer has selected and combined metals, stones, woods and fabrics to best bring out and enhance the yacht’s environments, creating three different moods; all expressions of a refined taste, tending towards a more traditional or else a more contemporary style. The choices are inspired by the aesthetic canons of Italian design, starting with the names chosen for the three décor lines: Siracusa, Pisa and Milan.
The new model features the same technological equipment and the advanced home automation and entertainment system as the Sessantasette 67, as well as identical engines. The engine room indeed houses two Volvo Penta D13 in-line six-cylinder engines, each capable of providing 1000 HP when necessary. Alongside two IPS3 pods, they form a compact, reliable and manageable solution which, combined with the lower overall weight of the yacht compared to the flybridge version, ensures even smoother sailing and further reduced fuel consumption.
