BARRACUDA YACHTS SARDINIA PRESENTS THE BARRACUDA 27
BARRACUDA YACHTS SARDINIA PRESENTS THE BARRACUDA 27
Alberto Mancini is the head of Trieste based Amyachtdesign and creator of the Barracuda 27 concept. This runabout MADE IN SARDINIA is the natural evolution – in a smaller size – of the Barracuda 42 design (introduced at the end of 2010, in the water and presented to the press at the end of June 2012). The Barracuda 27 maintains the unmistakable style of the foredeck with the combined windscreen and skylight, along with clean and elegant lines with a touch of vintage appeal. The Barracuda will be presented in the summer of 2012. The Barracuda’s 8.2 meter length allows her to be trailered, giving the owner exceptional freedom of movement. Ideal as a tender for larger yachts.
Below Decks
The cabin features a double bed that reaches up to the ceiling creating a chaise lounge. From here you can enjoy the large filtered skylight and exceptional height with ergonomics unimaginable on yachts of this size. The combination of soft quilted leather and teak wood create a very pleasant atmosphere. With an icebox and disappearing head in a walk-in compartment, the owner has the possibility to use the Barracuda 27 not only for day trips, but short cruising for couples.
On Deck
With a bimini-top that completely retracts under the sunbathing settee, freedom of movement is uninhibited and the Barracuda’s clean deck and cockpit lines are not disturbed. The perfect symmetry between the instrument panel and helm to starboard and the stowage tray to port emphasize her elegant and very sporty soul. Both helmsman and passenger seats are hung laterally, increasing available space on the cockpit floor and creating a play of light that illuminates the flush cockpit’s teak sole. Outdoor cushion material and hull color can be completely customized; the client can choose from a vast selection of samples and materials specifically chosen to optimize the result and satisfy the new owner.
Technical Highlights and Thrilling Performance
The Barracuda 27 was created using applied studies typical of larger vessels. Built in advanced resin composites, the hull was computer optimized in the Navalhead Engineering Studio using state of the art computerized fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. Tank testing was carried out at the Trieste Naval facilities; thanks to the structural studies carried out by Biselli Engineering the results were excellent, confirming the 27’s performance, comfort and sea keeping qualities.
The Barracuda 27 is offered with two propulsion system options: a single stern drive Volvo 300hp D4, giving a maximum speed of 40 knots; or twin stern drive Volvo 220hp D3’s for a maximum speed of 44 knots (estimated speeds at average load of 2.8 tons).
