The Azimut Magellano line is a new direction for the Italian superyacht builder, they became famous for sleek, aerodynamic profiles that are immediately recognisable even at significant distances. With the new Magellano yachts, emphasis has been placed on classic, early 20th century styling. And I like it a great deal.
The 51′ Magellano 50 is the smaller of the 2 yachts in the collection with the Magellano 74 being the larger version, I do hesitate before calling any 50 foot boat small, however.
Powered by 2 x 425 HP (131 kW) Cummins QSB 5.9 diesel engines the yacht has a top speed of 21 knots, that’s quick enough to wakeboard behind, it has a fuel capacity of 3000 litres (792 U.S. gallons) and it has what is easily one of the best appointed interiors you’ll find this side of the Queen’s private luncheon boat.
Pricing, as always with such things, isn’t listed anywhere. If you’re in the market for a little extravagance and your Aston Martin One-77 is beginning to bore you, visit Azimut here to read more about the Magellano 50.

The legendary NCR workshop played a significant role in the early competition life of Ducati, perhaps most famously they built the special 900cc race bike that Mike Hailwood piloted to his seemingly impossible comeback win at the the 1978 Formula One TT at the Isle of Man. NCR was founded in 1967 as a small motorcycle…
The Bimota SB2 was a significant evolutionary step forward for motorcycles when it was released in 1977. Massimo Tamburini had designed not just a superbike, but the future of superbikes.
