There is news of a new 80-meter that has gone under construction at Palumbo for ISA yachts. I know previously in the past that yard said they had an 80-meter that started construction called the ISA Continental 80. https://www.yachtforums.com/threads/news-isa-continental-80-starts-build.34272/ . Is this new 80-meter the same vessel reincarnated or a totally different new project. The Continental 80 was supposed to have been building on spec for finishing in 2023. Project Amarcord is also being built on spec for completion in 2025. The designer is Nuvolari Lenard.
The ISA Yachts shipyard has confirmed the beginning of a new 80-meter speculative construction to guarantee delivery in 2025 to her prospective owner. The 80-meter project “Amarcord” is the outcome of the highly detailed engineering exploiting the know-how and heritage acquired by Palumbo in over 50 years of experience. Nuvolari Lenard’s task is to dress this megayacht with an exterior style properly capturing the essence of ISA Yachts: a blend of beauty and strength twinned with the unmistakably Italian refined elements of this magnificent yacht. “We are confident that Nuvolari Lenard can best interpret such a beloved brand as ISA Yachts, starting from our 80-meter already under construction. This will be an opportunity to work with them on other interesting innovations in the stylistic field”, comments Giuseppe Palumbo, Sole Director of Palumbo Superyachts. “We are designing a yacht that conceptually and stylistically connects with the many others built by ISA Yachts so far. It is not an easy task, considering that ISA boats have always had a strong personality and the ultimate goal is to further strengthen it by ‘dressing’ it with an innovative, recognizable and unique style”, comments Eng. Carlo Nuvolari.
