Besenzoni at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2021

by Besenzoni 2 Aug 2021 08:40 PDT 7-12 September 2021

The Italian company headed by Giorgio Besenzoni is back at the Cannes Yachting Festival - which will take place from 7 to 12 September this year - displaying its wide range of highly reliable products, beginning with the new BeElectric range featuring electrical components, which has already attracted a lot of interest with LaPasserella and LaScala.

Among the key products on display the TL850 platform lifting system, the series P252 and P253 helm seats, the PI 461 Miss gangways, the latter being an example of an external gangway, and the PI 890 retracting gangways.

The most anticipated boat show in Europe is finally here. After being forced to cancel the event last year, the marinas of La Croisette come to life again and are ready to showcase the many new products in the yachting world. All of the major players will exhibit, among them obviously Besenzoni, a company which has become synonymous with high quality and innovation in the design of high-tech, state-of-the-art products for the nautical industry.

First and foremost, the Italian company will be exhibiting its latest range of innovative BeElectric brand products. The new range, which already includes LaPasserella and LaScala Elettrica, uses an extremely simple electrical system and has been enhanced with stylish new features that use eco-friendly technology.

The fully electric power supply that makes the latest Besenzoni products unique brings numerous advantages not only to the boats on which they are mounted but also to the environment. Firstly, the absence of a hydraulic power pack makes the systems quieter and the boats lighter. This allows to deliver a key benefit: less impact on the marine environment as a direct result of fuel reduction as well as reduced energy consumption on board.

Along with the new BeElectric series, Besenzoni will also exhibit its "traditional" range including products that are increasingly sophisticated and respond to the latest market requirements. The TL850 hydraulic system has been designed to facilitate the movement of the swim platform for the launch and recovery of water toys, small boats and jet skis. It makes this operation simpler and more efficient and enables the crew to optimise this technical phase and guarantee the boat owner the necessary peace of mind and safety on board.

The movement is based on the pantograph and has a lifting capacity of 850 kg. The standard model of the TL series can lift up to 1200 kg. However, it can be customised to suit each customer's requirements.

The Series P 252 Carbon Stealth and P 253 Carbon Stealth Fly helm seats have a minimalist yet elegant design which blends in perfectly with our design solutions for a variety of different boats owing to the fact that they can be fully personalised and customised. In fact, they are available in various different colours, finishes, and stitching... Featuring LED lights around the perimeter, carbon fibre or fibreglass construction available in different colours, electric or fixed supports, they are the best sellers in the Fly helm seat category but are also perfect for placing inside the boat.

Also on display will be the automatically operated, telescopic PI 461Miss hydraulic external gangway, which is the most popular among the Besenzoni range as it is extremely light and multi-functional. The hydraulic movement system is operated via a remote or by a control panel attached to the wall and makes the lifting and lowering operations of the tender from and into the water extremely easy. The lifting capacity varies from model to model up to a maximum of 200 kg depending on the crane used for tenders and water toys. Next to it, is the PI 890 internal rotating gangway consisting of four telescopic sections complete with the carriage extension to bypass the step, is particularly suitable for installation on stern ladders. It is capable of rotating through 50 degrees to the right and to the left with an incline of 10 degrees up/down: these characteristics make it the perfect gangway for boarding safely and easily from the marina. There is also a small step which moves automatically to make getting on board easy by avoiding any differences in height between the gangway and the first deck of the yacht.

Besenzoni will be at the Cannes Yachting Festival, from 7 to 12 September 2021, PAN210
