According to a recent article in MBY, Azimut have already tested a flybridge model (AZ55 I think) with IPS with good results. I don't think there is a particular problem with windage and slow speed handling in the same way as sterndrives with flybridge boats. IPS may position the engines further aft compared to shaftdrive, but the props still drive the boat well forward of the transom. Then IPS also offers joystick control which takes all the hassle out of slow speed handling any way

this is very interesting and surprising
Azimut are spending a lot on R&D lately, hence they have an own new department in the Varesse Marina Savona which will bring more innovative features coming from them in the future

Will you be moving your boat to Torquay too? If so have you looked at the berthing situation there? It's pretty grim for anything over 42'.

Nop - just sold our T51 - planning to do my motorboating in the Med.
Not sure what I'm going to do in Torquay yet.
There should be loads of boating things to do in that part of the world tho'.

I think the Balerics and Sardegna is where most of the RIP offs in berthing exist...

we should boycott these places so prices go down
