The Italian shipyard’s new 38-meter Ironman, has won the Best Power Design Award, in the category "24 to 40 meter yachts".

Ironman is the first of five Class Fast Displacement Vivace 125’ yachts sold; a 38 meter semi-widebody with three decks plus the sun deck. The yachts is characterized by a modern design and packed with high-tech content.

The Award is a recognition of the amazing collaboration between Benetti and designers Stefano Righini – who developed the exterior design – and interior designer Alfred Karram Jr – in charge of all the internal design –. Sold to a young owner, Ironman interiors were inspired by the famous cartoon hero, an inventor in love with technology, hence a very modern style, aesthetically innovative. 
 
The yacht’s technical performance is excellent too: the D2P_Displacement to Planing hull form with wave piercer is also equipped with an innovative series of Azipods - developed by the Italian shipyard in collaboration with Rolls-Royce - that allows the boat to cruise both in low consumption displacement mode for leisurely voyages, as well as at faster speeds, up to a maximum of 24 knots, without compromising on comfort.
