Centouno Navi begins construction of 16m dayboat

Following on from its 28m Forza and 39m Eterea projects, Italian brand Centouno Navi, founded by designer Manuela Lucchesi and naval architect Marco Arnaboldi, has introduced an entry-level model. At 16.5m overall with a 4.6m beam, the Vespro is a fast dayboat or weekender whose name translates into ‘dusk’ or ‘twilight’ in English. “The Vespro may be smaller than her cousins, but she has the same lightweight construction using carbon and fibreglass in a hybrid sandwich with vinylster resin and PVC foam core for optimal mechanical characteristics,” says Arnaboldi. Fitted with twin MAN 8V 1200hp engines coupled to MJP 350X
