Wider 42

Tilli Antonelli’s day cruiser has been awarded in the “Best Production Boat” category from the glamorous American luxury magazine.

Wider 42’ has been named the winner of the Robb Report’s Best of the Best 2012 prestigious award.

Every year Robb Report magazine, the American publication which represents an authority in luxury lifestyle, conducts a series of tests across categories to find the best of luxury, including cars, yachts, watches, resorts and wines. The winners list is presented in the just-released June issue.

Wider 42’ was in short list for the “Best Production Boat” prize together with Frauscher 1017 Gt, Azimut 45, Riva Iseo and Wally One, and she has been chosen “for having successfully redefined the weekend-cruiser category”.

Wider 42’, a project developed in 2010 by Tilli Antonelli and designed by Fulvio De Simoni, is an open yacht unique in her design offering an automatic patented system which makes it possible to double the cockpit surface and reach an extraordinary stability in just 12 seconds. A day cruiser ready to satisfy a wide range of demands, throughout a variety of solutions unthinkable until now for boats this size. The latest version of this boat is the Wider 42’ Cote D’Azur Edition which is characterized by a new layout of the cockpit.

“We are honored to receive the Best of the Best award from Robb Report – says Tilli Antonelli, Wider president – as this is a very prestigious prize on an international basis, a further confirmation and appreciation of the extremely innovative nature of our project, offering new formulas for travelling by sea”.
