Baglietto's Kinda II is a reminder that the La Spezia yard builds some of the most handsome yachts on the water. At 60.6 metres with a 10.5-metre beam and 1,000 gross tons, she is a thoroughly modern yacht in classic dress.
The engineering is current: a stated top speed of 16 knots, six staterooms for up to 12 guests, and the systems redundancy a yacht of this size demands. The interior volume is used with restraint rather than showmanship.
What distinguishes the Kinda II is proportion. In an era of ever-taller superstructures, her lines remain disciplined, and the result is a yacht that will look right in twenty years.
The verdict: quiet confidence in steel and aluminium. A modern classic from a yard that understands the long game.
