A Racing Driver's Commission Shapes Bellini's New 38-Footer

The Bellini Astor 38 began as a commission from a driver who has raced at Le Mans, and the boat shows it. The 38-foot sport yacht has a hull laid out around the way a racing driver sits and moves at speed. The interior trim borrows from the upholstery of fine cars, and carbon fiber details run through the boat. For owners who want a dayboat in the 38-foot range, which suits a run along the Florida coast, this is a sport yacht where the person at the helm was the starting point. The yard has not released the naval architect or a price.
