Two years in the making, a design by Italy-based Marino Alfani is finally in build. The Sedano Group in Brazil recently started construction on the Sedano 100. Hull number one hits the water next summer, featuring one of two possible general arrangements.
Alfani (below) drew the preliminary sketches for the Sedano 100 in 2017. As you might expect, from the first sketch to the final one, several changes took place. They resulted from the buyer of the first hull, in fact. Initially, the Sedano 100 was very much in keeping with what many Italian designers, and lovers of European design overall, gravitate toward. She was super-sporty, and super-sleek. While the owner liked the stylish lines, he actually wanted to emphasize relaxation space and pure fun with guests. Therefore, Alfani added a deck, plus redesigned the alfresco areas for more usable space.
That owner, from Brazil, requested things that owners of all nationalities can appreciate, however. For example, the master suite sits forward on the main deck. It’s a full-beam stateroom, too. Interestingly, though, the rest of the main deck is an open-concept layout. It incorporates the saloon, dining area, galley, and even the aft deck. Therefore, there’s a far more laid-back ambiance aboard his Sedano 100 in comparison to most other semi-custom megayachts. Further different, six staterooms—three twins and three doubles—await guests below decks.
To make the Sedano 100 appeal to more traditional yachting markets, Alfani created a second configuration. In this, the saloon, dining area, and galley are more distinct areas.
Regardless of layout, the Sedano 100 features interior design by Alfani as well. He’s working with the owner of hull number one to incorporate high-gloss panels along with wood panels. Leather and steel will feature prominently, too. Since hulls number two and three are available, they’re entirely open to personalization. Alfani says he’s eager to assist owners who “know how to recognize the value of a boat without stopping at appearances.” As he adds, “What counts is often hidden away. All this can’t be seen as an obsolete concept, but as something that affects the purity of the idea of a boat and its forms, content and quality.”
