Cruising super-yacht K42 Audace

raised pilothouse

CDM NEVER STANDS STILL! 2019 has just started and activity at CdM is in full swing. On January 14th, K42 Audace successfully touched the water. K42 Au­dace is a sur­pris­ing yacht which rocks the stan­dards we are used to. We might de­fine she an ex­tra-or­di­nary yacht, a yacht whose shape and fea­tures are surely out of the or­di­nary. Au­dace ful­fills her Owner's long-held pro­ject to com­mis­sion a pure cus­tom ex­plorer yacht. Her Ital­ian Owner will leave on board all year round hence the need to cre­ate en­vi­ron­ments and ameni­ties that per­fectly fit his lifestyle. The pro­ject stems from a fruit­ful col­lab­o­ra­tion of all parts in­volved in its de­vel­op­ment and all play­ers are as ex­pert, in­no­v­a­tive and re­spected as might be ex­pected of such a com­plex pro­ject. For CdM K42 Au­dace is a first. It is in­deed the first pure cus­tom ex­plorer ves­sel the An­cona-based ship­yard has ever built and, when it was com­mis­sioned, it rep­re­sented for CdM the first step into a new seg­ment of the mar­ket. The pro­ject brings the sig­na­ture of An­drea Pezzini/Float­ing Life who de­vel­oped the K se­ries in con­junc­tion with Mauro Sculli en­trusted for the naval ar­chi­tec­ture. The pro­ject has been en­gi­neered by Ser­gio Cu­tolo/Hy­dro Tec. Pro­ject Man­ager for the yard is young and skilled Domenico Ranieri who worked in close col­lab­o­ra­tion with An­drea Pezzini/Float­ing Life who acted also as Owner Rep­re­sen­ta­tive. En­nio Cec­chini, co-founder and CEO at CdM, says: “Au­dace pro­vides very good ev­i­dence of CdM's tech­ni­cal and or­ga­ni­za­tional ca­pa­bil­i­ties. Af­ford­ing a one-off pro­ject was a chal­lenge we were ready to face.
