Rosetti begins construction work on RSY 38m Explorer yacht

Italian yard Rosetti Superyachts has announced that the ceremony of placing a coin under the keel of the new RSY 38-metre (125-foot) Explorer yacht took place on 9^th May at the shipyard in Ravenna, Italy.

Although the first block has been completed, the coin ceremony and keel laying traditionally mark the official start of construction. It was attended by the owner, shipyard representatives and Sergio Cutolo, the yacht designer and naval architect.

At an official 37.83 metres in length with a maximum beam of 8.85 metres, the yacht will be rated at 400GT. The keel laying is in line with the general production timing, with delivery scheduled within the next 24 months.

"This is a first important step for the new project that is coming to life and gives value to the even larger project that is Rosetti Superyachts, in which I have believed passionately since its inception,” noted Fulvio Dodich, partner and CEO of Rosetti Superyachts. “I am proud to be able to attend our first keel laying together with my team and those who believed in us.”

Cutolo added, “This first RSY Explorer was born from a Hydro Tec project and from the wishes of the owners who followed us step by step, creating a graceful boat with a strong personality.”
