Following the keel laying in May, construction of the new RSY 38m EXP is on schedule forher spring 2021 delivery with the steel hull almost complete and soon to be joined to heraluminium superstructure.

The decisive and modern exterior lines, interior layout and naval architecture are by HydroTec, whereas the refined interior design is by BurdissoCapponiYachts & Design, a designstudio based near Rosetti Superyachts in Ravenna, Italy. The displacement explorer isdesigned for cruising long distances in total safety and autonomy.

Exterior design and layoutThe 38M EXP project is being built for experiencedownerswho are closely involved in allaspects of the design, construction, operation and management of the yacht. They spend longperiods on board, so were looking for a yacht that offered comfort and safety in allconditions.

“The exterior design is a reflection of the yacht’s functionality and reliability, which werethe key priorities for the owners,”saysSergio Cutolo, founder of Hydro Tec. “Specialattention has also been paid to the crew area and tothe hold volumes, both essentialrequirements for long voyages far from ports or marinas.”

The exterior design is classic in proportion but contemporary in style with tense, angularlines. At the request of owners, the designer has made the windows and openings as large as possible.

The main deck salon, in particular, has large aft windows and sliding doors that offer widesea views. In addition, two large side sliding doors provide access to the cutaway bulwarks onthe side walkways. The space is divided into two main areas: a veranda-style seating areatowards the stern and the dining area.

On the starboard side, a custom-designed wine cellar acts as a divider between the guestareas and the owner’s stateroom, which is spacious and well distributed with a fixed sidebalcony accessible through a sliding glass door. The clients chose this solution because it canbe used without requiring help from the crew, thus ensuring greater privacy.

On the lower deck are four guest cabins (two doubles and two twin singles) that arecomfortably generous in size and well appointed.

The upper deck lounge is served by a service pantry and the integrated bridge is equippedwith a large office area and adjacent captain's cabin.

The sun deck is very wide and hosts a large dining table as well as a corner bar with highstools, Jacuzzi with waterfall feature, and two showers on the sides. The area is protectedforward by a sliding windbreak door.

The forward area on the lower deck includes laundry, ironing room and storage spaceaccessible directly from the crew quarters.

Interior design
The interior design stems from the close collaboration and synergy with the owners, whoclearly expressed their tastes and requirements from the very beginning.“Following the initialmeetings, it became evident that the staircase would become thecentrepiece of the project as the central functional and stylistic core with a character that iscarried throughout the whole interior,”commentBurdissoCapponiYachts & Design.“In fact, the stairway is conceived as an architectural base that becomes a recurringelement of the project, as does the interplay of white lacquer, light and dark woods.”

Technical characteristics
At 37.83m in length with a maximum beam of 8.85m, the Rosetti 38 EXP will be powered bytwin MAN D2868 LE 425 engines (588kW) and rated at approximately 400GT.The round-bilge, displacement hull with bulbous bow, broad and flat stern sections andextended skeg has been optimised to cruise at between 10 and 11 knots.The yacht is equipped with electric fin stabilisers toreduce thenoise levels as much aspossible at anchor. It is also equipped with a powerful electric bow thruster and independentrudders for maximum manoeuvrability in restricted areas.A central tunnel atunder lower decklevel provides direct passage from the crew quarters tothe engine room as well as easy access to the tanks, and allows the inspection ofwatertightcompartments that house the stabiliser fins.

"The 38M EXP fully embodies the philosophy of Rosetti Superyachts, which is to apply theextensive shipbuilding experience of Rosetti Marino to the superyacht sector,”saysFulvioDodich, RSY CEO and partner.“Thisexperience shines through the project in everydetail, from the exterior and interior design to the careful selection of equipment andoverall construction quality.”
