NEW ROUND BILGE STEEL HULL BUILT BY BENTINI

José Oscar Bentini, the wizard of metallic building in Brasil, just completed the first steel round bilge hull of a Cape Horn 40 class yacht.Nothing compares to a round bilge in aesthetics and low resistance. Besides with the worsening of meteorological conditions caused by the so called Greenhouse Effect, cruisers require each time more that their boats be the strongest possible and regarding this requirement, steel construction is “hors concours”. José Oscar Bentini’s client, Walter Barbosa is a computer scientist and he intends to use his future boat as a residence, office and in the long run, as a cruising yacht. To Walter Barbosa and his family, we wish their new boat to be the perfect upgrade from his former sailing boat, the Samoa 29 Áquila, with which he accomplished so many gratifying long distance cruises. To José Oscar we send our compliments.
