What does this sleek looking yacht do? It combines fast paced performance with luxury to give you the time of your life on the sea. The OTAM 80 Record retains all the technical virtues of its predecessor like the deep-V hull and hearty four engines power installation - although for this leisure version the original MTU diesels and ZF 2-Speed gearboxes have been replaced by Caterpillar units and conventional gearboxes. These actually have more power than the record boat so that even with the extra weight of the accommodation, the performance is maintained; reducing the fuel capacity has also helped to keep the weight down.

This smart beauty in the sportsyacht category is one of the most exciting one to hit the market by the Italian builder OTAM. The style designed by Allevi E. Campici from Como is minimalistic and uses gray and black as the predominant colours with red highlights. A feature of the styling in all the cabins is the leather hanging wardrobes that close with zip fasteners, owing more to style than practicality. A large master suite, a spacious bathroom and a deck saloon with a very functional look gives it a sociable touch. The two twin-berth guest cabins have en suite bathrooms each.

So you have got the wind, you have got the sea, you have got the speed and you have got your racing adrenalin, all you need now is entertainment for which you can just switch on the large screen tv and amp it up with Bose sound system.

Every inch a performance boat - there are no handrails or fittings to spoil the clean lines, and the pilothouse rises in a smooth curve from the coach roof, sloping back to engage with the low arch mast with the engine air intakes in between. For those brave enough to experience the wind at speed, there is a deep-cushioned sunbed on the coach roof. The crew need not worry as there are two neat, comfortable and functional cabins.

OTAM 80 looks compact, mean, modern, sophisticated and ready to strike the waters promising speed and adrenalin pumping. Go for it!
