Italy's Sanlorenzo is setting performance records: this week the yard launched two yachts in the same day. The 29.1m SL96 B&B and the 26.76m SL82 Stae touched the water a few hours apart - one at the yard's site in Viareggio , the other in Amelia .

The larger B&B will go to an owner in Turkey, while the Stae will go to the USA. Both customers were present at the launching ceremonies for their boats.

The SL96 series B&B is a fast GRP yacht designed by the famous Francesco Paszkowski. Thanks to a pair of MTU 12V2000 M94 diesel engines producing 1947 hp, the boat has an impressive cruising speed of 26 knots. Sanlorenzo estimates that the B&B is capable of showing a top speed of 30 knots in the upcoming sea trials.

Stae SL82 has a beam of 6,35m which gives a total internal volume of 90 BRT. There is enough space aboard this yacht to accommodate eight guests in four cabins. The exterior and interior styling of this yacht was developed by Officina Italiana Design.

Last month Sanlorenzo launched three new yachts over 24 metres in five days. The eleventh hull of the 40 Alloy series and the new flagship Sanlorenzo 64 Steel are now under construction in the yard's docks, and are due to be completed in 2019.
