Ranieri International NEXT 370 SH

NEXT 370 SH  features an actual, modern and elegant design, while its high topsides slope towards the stern by revealing a well-defined silhouette as well as the boat dynamic and sportive quality. The flagship proposes again the diamond point bow consisting in the loofs various design, a Ranieri International distinctive feature.     

The deck design stands out for the "Sundeck" line consisting of a central console and a well-proportioned central deck house in keeping with the whole boat design. Likewise, the new hull waterlines adopt the second generation double step H.I.S system (Hull-Innovative-System).  

Two diagonal steps are sited inside the quickwork to divide waterlines in smaller surfaces. Each step laterally diverts the water collected under the hull and consequently draws the air between the water flows and the hull itself; so, advance friction and fuel consumption are reduced, while performances, stability and navigation comfort are improved. The Next 370 SH 3 meter-full beam allows the boat exceptional transport without using the technical escort, while the nearly vertical topsides joining to the hull maintain a good width waterline to the benefit of a lateral stability.

The flagship project gives also particular attention to details and comfort inside every on-board usable space by means of functional solutions enhanced by the Italian style exclusivity. The astern cockpit is furnished with a large L-shaped sofa on starboard, while on port side it adjoins the tween deck; the latter leads to the teak-covered swimming platforms extending into the outboard engines both sides. The swimming platform external side features an useful telescopic ladder, while the shower can be placed in a hidden compartment.    

The astern cockpit is also provided with two lockers which can be turned in fish tanks. It features a teak planked flooring.

Along both topsides there are eco-leather filled useful and well-refined bags. The dinette can be transformed in a sunbathing area thanks to the teak telescopic table. A galley cabinet which can be opened is located behind the cockpit to complete the outdoor astern convivial area. It holds the stainless steel sink and two glass ceramic optional hobs closed by a top with LED courtesy lights.

This area stands out for the eco-leather covering stainless steel handrails. In the cockpit area, the galley cabinet incorporates the pilot and copilot’s comfortable seats.

The large forward deck enables an easy freedom of movement.    

The teak-covered useful passageways lead to the rigging mooring area provided with stainless steel bollards and an electric windlass accommodated in an appropriate locker.
