They are passed 25 years from crossing ocean-going liner record of the Steed
the route was covered to the average speed of 53,1 knots
August 9, 2017
The anniversary silver jubilee of the enterprise of the Steed is celebrated today, the faster naval unit to the world that crossed the Atlantic in 1992 establishing a record still today which ran. The boat, constructed from the navalmeccanico group Italian Fincantieri, compì crossing in 58 hours to the average speed of 53,1 knots, with tips of 66 knots, conquering so the "Blue Tape", the fleeting acknowledgment that was attributed to the detentrice ship of the record of average speed on the route ocean-going liner with navigation without refueling ports of call.
Fincantieri has remembered that the monohull is constructed in 1991, in less than a year, the plant of Muggiano and Riva Trigoso and that covered 3,106 miles nautical, from the Lighthouse of Ambrose Light to New York until the lighthouse of Bishop Rock in the Scilly Islands in England, without to carry out refueling.
In order to honor its enterprise, on September 5, 1992 the Steed came awarded also of Virgin Atlantic Trophy by the English magnate Richard Branson and of Columbus Atlantic Trophy by the New York Yacht Club.
"The Steed - it has emphasized the Italian shipbuilding company - has been, until that moment, most major unit in light alloy never constructed, one of naval means with the highest concentration than efficiency, power and technology, a real jewel of the Italian navalmeccanica. With its 67 meters of length, a 13 width of and its 60 thousand power horses could reach a advanced average speed to the 60 knots. A true record, an Italian pride, a conquest I yield of a baggage of experiences in the construction of ships acquired from Fincantieri in beyond two centuries of history, than they still allow to construct them the beautifulr and efficient civil and military ships of the world".
