04-01-2007:ELEGANCE, STYLE AND SPACE – THE RODMAN MUSE 54 HAS ARRIVED!(ALSO AVAILABLE IN LONDON BOAT SHOW PRESS PACKS)

Making its debut appearance in the UK after its successful launch in Barcelona this November, the Rodman Muse 54 guarantees to add the x-factor to the Collins Stewart London Boat Show in January 2007 on stand S312.

The Muse is a completely new concept, which focuses on attention to detail, impeccable customer service, and ongoing design innovation. The Rodman Muse 54 sports-flybridge cruiser is the first in this inspirational new range from Italian designer Fulvio de Simoni; with the Muse 74 next in line for launch in June 2007.

The Rodman Muse 54 is a powerful, sophisticated motor yacht featuring a radical new design layout, combining elegance, style and progressive technology, together with Rodman’s core principles of high quality manufacture, safety, comfort and outstanding sea-handling characteristics.

Every available space has been exploited onboard the Rodman Muse 54 to create stunning spaces featuring exquisite interior comfort and design. The distinctive exterior styling of trademark triple glazing of the superstructure allows maximum natural light into the main saloon. The Muse 54’s accommodation floorplan has a full-beam owner’s cabin and ensuite, brightly lit from signature circular portlights, starboard twin guest cabin, forward VIP double cabin and guest bathroom. The saloon deck houses a sociable fully-equipped galley and U-shaped living area. A comprehensive helm station is located forward to starboard, with repeated flybridge controls for a commanding view. Both helms provide excellent all-round visibility for ease of manoeuvring.

The Rodman Muse 54 flybridge is the perfect place for sun bathing, socialising, eating alfresco and enjoying life at sea in luxury. With her optional
crew cabin and clever use of deck space, she is a truly flexible passage-maker.

The Rodman Muse 54 has a highly developed hull resulting from over three decades’ experience of crafting seagoing vessels from the latest materials. The Muse 54 is available with Caterpillar and Volvo diesel engine options, reaching a maximum speed of 33 knots and a comfortable cruise speed of 27 knots.

Fulvio de Simoni, designer of the Rodman Muse collection says, "I believe in the force of authenticity as a representation of luxury. The creation of a great boat is not just a question of attractive design. It's also building a boat that can sail."

Ample experience gained over 30 years in the boat business makes Rodman experts as far as the sea is concerned. Proud of its tradition and accumulated skill, Rodman has combined perfection in both build and sea-keeping with an exquisite design when developing the Rodman Muse.

Rodman Yachts and the Rodman Muse 54 will be on Ancasta stand S312 at the London Boat Show.
