Farr/SAI Ambrosini Maxi Racing Yacht - 24.32m/80ft - LONGOBARDA

Built using state-of-the-art lightweight composite carbon fibre, Kevlar and Nomex,  with a no-expense-spared budget, Longobarda was earning an enviable reputation within months of her launch, by taking on - and beating - yachting’s best in races the world over.

Longobarda has 82 feet of open deck space, with ample provision for guests to make the most of the space.  Behind the twin helms there is cushioned sunbathing pit with biminii in case the sun becomes too harsh.  There are further sunbathing beds available for the more adventurous, who might enjoy taking sun on the foredeck.

Following a major refit in 2007, the interior of the Longobarda has been transformed; fully air-conditioned throughout, it offers a combination of luxury and practicality unlike any other Maxi Racing Yacht.

The spacious saloon is decked out in black and white, with powder blue leather upholstery; 10 people can sit in comfort around two semi-circular carbon fibre tables, and there is a separate fridge, so guests can help themselves to refreshments at any time.  The equipment also includes a 42” Panasonic flat screen plasma television and Bose sound system.

Longobarda’s decks are extremely ergonomic and efficient, based around one extensive cockpit. Trimmers sit far enough outboard for good luff vision. The center line of the cockpit is dominated by four grinders allowing eight people to grind simultaneously. Towards the aft end of the cockpit there is a mainsheet traveler and forward of this the mainsail sheet winch with the Navtec hydraulics underneath. Further aft there is a separate grinding pedestal for the two runner winches.

Longobarda has seen constant and extensive updates throughout its life.  Originally conceived as the most advanced Maxi-Yacht built at the time, Longobarda has transitioned to a fast and comfortable World-Cruising Maxi-Yacht.  Still capable of competing and winning in the classic ocean races and rallies, Longobarda is the perfect yacht for an owner looking for race-bred performance and technology with the comforts of a cruising interior and accommodations.
