Complementing its speed-oriented Millennium megayacht series, Otam is building the first hull of its semi-displacement Otam SD 35 series. The all-aluminum yacht is scheduled for delivery to her Italian owner in summer 2016. While only the initial sketches are being released for now, you can still glean some good details.
Otam is collaborating with Design Studio Spadolini for styling and interior design on the trideck project. Naval architecture is the joint effort of the yard’s in-house team and Umberto Tagliavini Marine Design & Services. If the latter isn’t familiar, it’s an established naval-architecture firm that has previously worked with CBI Navi, Rossinavi, Apreamare, Magnum Marine, and more. Umberto Tagliavini himself also worked directly for Otam in the late 1980s.
The all-aluminum Otam SD 35 measures 115’5” (35.2 meters) with a beam of 25’6” (7.8 meters). So far few interior-design details are known. The owner’s stateroom will be on the upper deck, quite a departure from the norm for this LOA. The Otam SD 35 is a semi-custom series, so buyers have the ability to arrange many areas as they wish. Eight guests plus six crew will also be housed aboard hull number one. With displacement at 295 gross tons, the Otam SD 35 is also voluminous for her size.
Performance-wise, the Otam SD 35 has, as mentioned above, a semi-displacement hull form. She should see a top end at one-third load of 22 knots under Caterpillar power. Most efficient cruise should be 12 knots, which will permit a range of 1,000 nautical miles. Her owner should therefore have no trouble visiting most areas in the Med aboard. That’s also due to draft being 7’2” (2.2 meters).
Otam, which markets stateside via Denison Yacht Sales, plans to launch this first SD 35 in May 2016, about a month prior to delivery. She’ll be classed to RINA.
