The Ice Yachts shipyard is on the market with a brand new product, the Ice 70rs, racer version and even more satisfying and rooted than the already very fast Ice 70, a true bestseller at the 2021 Cannes boat show, which winks at the owners in looking for an important boat suitable for fast cruises and to successfully juggle even the challenging buoys of the Rolex Cup circuit regattas.
The Ice 70RS, developed directly by Umberto Felci’s studio together with the shipyard’s technical staff, is a true fast cruiser of the highest quality with an incredible use of space, with a beautiful line and highly innovative and modern interiors that put guests first. floor, give the owner a suite worthy of the name and provide for crew accommodation different from the usual niche.
Modern design, we are talking about a reverse bow (scimitar) with a carbon dolphin, 1.9 meters long and a stern in the Volvo Open 70 style, it is the big brother and the natural development of the Ice 52, another Ice Yachts bestseller with over 18 units produced to date.
On the hydrodynamic level, the water lines and the appendages, this time characterized by a variable draft thanks to the lifting keel with Cariboni hydraulics which provides a draft from 2.80 meters to about 4.40 meters, are designed to obtain great performance, with impressive results that highlight the ability of Ice 70rs to go up the wind at very tight angles and to glide very fast at load-bearing speeds … .. with a motor thanks to its 200 horsepower and the correct displacement it reaches and exceeds 11 knots at cruising speed !!!, sailing upwind with 8 knots reaches 10.2… ..what else to say?
To guarantee these performances are added the high technologies used in the construction and the incredible quality of a craftsmanship of the highest quality performed by technicians who make use of the experience gained over many years of activity dedicated to the construction of boats that have written history. of the sail.
The shell and deck are infusion laminated from a female mold using carbon fibers; the structures, again in carbon, are laminated on site and also made in infusion, becoming one with the hull and deck, eliminating creaks and noises. In addition to the classic gluing, the deck is tied to the hull as well as all the bulkheads creating a monolithic and very rigid structure.
These choices, in addition to containing the weights, give the boat a solidity and sturdiness able to withstand the repeated stresses and heavy loads that are faced even in the most demanding navigations.
There are many goodies on board … structural carbon tanks for liquids under the dinette flooring, super soundproofed engine room with double door seals etc.
Ice 70rs is equipped with a fin made of double Weldox steel with high mechanical characteristics and a torpedo in numerically controlled milled lead that offer the advantage of reducing the weight of the ballast in percentage terms and therefore the total displacement of the boat with the same righting moment. .
Thanks also to the larger bulb, it is possible to significantly reduce the heeling in navigation and the roll when stationary in the harbor.
Hence, great power in the gaits in which this is essential and minimal displacement in the gaits in which this represents a brake, such as for example the striding gaits and motor navigation.
All this allows you to maintain very high averages in all conditions, both in racing and cruising, sailing or motoring.
The rudder with forged axis in autoclave at 7 bar and 145 degrees and carbon blade is studied and designed with cutting-edge technologies, allowing impressive control even when the boat is heeling or subjected to large aerodynamic loads, always keeping the attention on the subject clear. safety, central to both design and construction.
The deck is completely in carbon with one step infusion and epoxy resin, specially dedicated to sport owners, it reflects the general lines of the Felci Yacht Design projects, combining simplicity and style, elegance and efficiency, comfort and versatility. The cockpit, characterized by large benches and comfortable paramaring backrests, is decidedly oversized and allows maximum mobility to numerous crews.
In the garage there are two electric winches / winches for the opening of the hatch and the handling of the tender, always with a view to the search for comfort and ease of use.
In addition, there are many details that highlight how the study of the bridge was conducted in search of a synthesis between an ideal deck for a relaxed cruise life and one full of seaworthiness and efficiency, necessary during a long-range navigation or regatta.
Thanks to the technologies used for the construction of the interiors, such as the use of lightened panels, a considerable weight saving is obtained compared to a traditional construction, without however renouncing the value of the carpentry work, both in the refinement of finishes and in excellence. of the details.
The interiors are provided in the 4-cabin version, with 3 bathrooms with a large open kitchen.
The standard carbon rig is equipped with a very useful park avenue boom to further simplify things both during navigation and when preparing to reduce or lower the sails
The first example of Ice 70rs is currently under construction in the Ice Yachts shipyard in Salvirola, near Crema and the first boat, for a demanding owner, will be in the water at the end of May 2022.
The site’s technicians are available to illustrate and show first-hand the construction quality of the real Made in Italy and the attention to detail that only a product born from the Italian design and construction tradition are able to offer.
