You don't have to be a millionaire to own a Brenta (but it would help)!


Priced the same as a J/100, this wonderful boat comes from the design desk of Luca Brenta.  Brenta is known as the origianl designer of Wally Yachts.  Penned by my friend, Lorenzo Argento, the B-Yachts are fresh, clean designs that think outside the box.  They are elegant, sleek, fast yet simple and comfortable. 

I had the pleasure of sailing on the B30 in Toronto last spring.  She is the smallest boat offered by B-Yachts and is also the completely manual boat of thel line.  Built in E-Glass and Carbon Fiber with foam core, she is finished off with a thin teak deck.  She comes standard with light grey gelcoat (pictured above) but can be painted any color you want like the custom spec'd Ferrari Red in the top picture!

The cockpit is long enough to sit 4 people on the windward side in comfort that only those who have sailed on a Brenta can know.  The cushions on these boats feel like you are sitting on a plush sofa!  This is a boat that everyone should get on at some point in their life.
