The PIRELLI 35 rib by TecnoRib wins the Red Dot Award
TecnoRib
The walkaround designed by Mannerfelt Design Team won in the "Design Product" category thanks to its refined and sporty lines that reflect the brand's soul, a symbol of power and style.
One year after its launch, the PIRELLI 35 has won one of the most significant design awards in the world: the international jury of the Red Dot Award, composed of famous architects and designers who have selected the most innovative and interesting projects since 1955, have chosen TecnoRib's Walkaround line in the "Product Design" category.
Looks & Design
TecnoRib's Walkaround line, produced and distributed under license as part of the PIRELLI DESIGN project, now features three models and continues to garner acclaim worldwide with its aerodynamic look and unparalleled, contemporary style, which pairs the highest levels of power and class. The rugged model is the result of the historic collaboration between the shipyard and the Mannerfelt Design Team, which stemmed from the desire to increase the level of elegance in this product range. This came to fruition with an instantly recognisable design and extreme attention to detail that has made these refined, high-performance models famous throughout the world, from Europe to Australia.
Ted Mannerfelt, son of the founder of the Swedish firm Ocke, which has made world championship-winning hulls since the 1980s, has worked to create a model "that looks fast even when stationary", staying true to one of the main tenets of the range that is revolutionising boat design. At 11.2 metres long and 3.80 wide, the PIRELLI 35 is the smallest of TecnoRib's Walkarounds line, and the second model in a chronological sense: it was conceived on the coattails of the PIRELLI 42 to offer the same strong points, but in smaller spaces.
The refined and cosy exterior offers maximum comfort, while the interior features a large convertible dinette and a separate bathroom (on request). The Seadek with which the deck is clad gives an immediate sense of comfort, while traditional teak can also be used on request. Many options are available to choose from as regards the interior layout, to create a model that corresponds as
closely as possible to the client's wishes. The racing-derived two-step planing hull reflects the sporty, high-performance DNA of Pirelli, and combines stability, safety and high performance with a top speed of over 50 knots.
Award ceremony
The awards ceremony will take place in Essen, Germany, on 20 June 2022. "This award is yet another confirmation of the international success of the steps of renewal and expansion of our production, in which we strongly believe; it starts with design, but also involves performance and technology. This is the second time that the jury of the Red Dot Award has chosen one of our models from a group of other very competitive and innovative projects in diverse fields," said Gianni De Bonis, CEO of Sacs Tecnorib. The winner of the award in 2009 was the PIRELLI Pzero 1400, the 14-metre that astonished and won the hearts of many owners for the originality of its design and the quality of its finishes.
TecnoRib is a Sacs Tecnorib Srl brand, and the official licensee of PIRELLI and P. inflatable boats. The licensing agreement with Pirelli is part of the Pirelli Design project incubator for high-end projects, the aim of which is to enhance technological know-how, high performance standards, and the unmistakable glamour that is inherent in the Pirelli brand.
If you are working with a yacht broker for the first time, it’s helpful to understand how the purchase process works and what you can expect from us.
1
Orientation and Making an Offer
Do you have a yacht in mind? You can schedule a viewing without obligation to determine if the yacht meets your expectations. A technical inspection is not necessary at this stage.
Based on your impression, you can make an offer. We act as an intermediary and negotiate on your behalf with the yacht's owner.
2
Price Agreement and Purchase Agreement
Once we have agreed on the price, we will draw up a purchase agreement. This usually includes a clause making the purchase subject to a survey by an expert.
When signing the agreement, we request a 10% deposit. This amount will be held in a secure third-party escrow account.
3
Survey and Finalization
An expert will carry out a comprehensive survey of the yacht. If any issues are found, the seller will resolve them or compensation will be offered if you prefer to handle the repairs yourself.
If the issues are too significant, you can cancel the purchase.
4
Final Payment and Delivery
Once the issues are resolved and you are satisfied, you pay the remaining 90%. This amount will also be securely held in the third-party escrow account. Once you confirm that the yacht meets your expectations, you will sign the delivery document.
Only then will the funds be released to the seller, and we will schedule the official handover.
5
Handover and Transfer
Together, we will carefully review all documentation so you know exactly what you are purchasing. We will also inspect the yacht to ensure all issues have been addressed. Of course, we will provide you with explanations on the onboard equipment and key systems.
Once everything is clear and meets your satisfaction, we will officially hand over the keys and your new boating adventure can begin.
