Simply Abu Dhabi XXXV

O ffshore racing meets luxury leisure yacht with the all-newOnda 331 Gran Turismo. Making its world debut at Cannes Yachting Festival 2019, the 10m tender has a two-step, deep-V hull for increased agility, and small, light engines meaning this nippy racer burns less fuel but still packs a punch. The Onda 331 Gran Turismo is the second collaboration between the Greek shipyard and Swedish studioMannerfelt Design Team (the first being Onda’s limousine tender, the 321L custom-made for motor yacht O’Ptasia). It boasts a modular design, which means owners can fully customise the tender to suit their needs, while the vinyl ester and foam core composite technology delivers a more robust seakeeping capability than carbon fibre alternatives. “In recent years, we have witnessed a growing demand for custom open and limousine tenders, but with few options from which to choose,” comments George Riginos, Onda CEO. “Thanks to over 40 years’ experience helping hundreds of clients with their boat searches at our sister company Riginos Yachts, we are in a uniquely strong position to build what the market wants and needs.” RapidRacer Onda Tenders launches the first of its latest head- turning superyacht tender models, the fast and comfortable 331 Gran Turismo. b y J u l i a Z a l t z m a n 2 4 0 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
