Early yard, high craft
Aslec 4 was launched in Viareggio in 2012 as hull FR024, part of the Rossinavi fleet's confident early years. She brought together strong Italian and French design talent on a displacement steel platform. At 46 metres and 498 GT she offers real cruising capability in a discreet package. She is a yacht that trades spectacle for quality and reach. Bringing three respected design and engineering names together on one hull spoke to the yard's growing confidence.
Her build reflects the yard's deep roots in steel and aluminium construction. The disciplined metalwork that the Rossi family perfected as a subcontractor shows in the integrity of her hull. For an owner she represents substance and long-range ability over show. She remains a highly usable yacht more than a decade on. The integrity of her metalwork is still plainly evident in how gracefully she has aged over more than a decade.
Spadolini's understated profile
Tommaso Spadolini drew Aslec 4 with a calm and elegant profile, the work of a designer with an enormous catalogue behind him. The lines are restrained and classic, giving her a face that has not dated. Teak decks and careful detailing lend her a warm, ship-like quality. She looks quietly expensive and entirely unshowy. There is nothing showy about her at all, and for the right owner that restraint is exactly the point.
Her 9.2 metre beam gives generous deck and interior space for her length. The exterior areas are arranged for comfortable time in the sun and shade across a season. Spadolini balanced elegance with real usability throughout. She carries the poise of a properly considered displacement yacht. The generous beam turns her modest length into surprisingly roomy decks and cabins.

A Remi Tessier interior
Inside, the celebrated designer Remi Tessier crafted an interior of quiet luxury and precise detailing. Tessier is known for calm, tactile spaces built from fine materials, and Aslec 4 shows that hand throughout. Accommodation is arranged for up to ten guests across five staterooms, served by a crew of eight. The rooms feel serene and beautifully made. The calm and tactile spaces, built from carefully chosen materials, reward an owner who values quiet quality above display.
The interior favours craft and restraint, in keeping with the whole character of the yacht. Materials meet with the precision that Tessier's work is admired for. The layout keeps guest comfort and privacy at the centre. Aslec 4 rewards an owner who notices how a yacht is finished, not only how it looks from the dock. Guests find privacy and comfort in equal measure across her five well-appointed staterooms and generous shared spaces.
Long-range economy

The economical displacement hull lets her cover very long distances between fuel stops, opening genuinely ambitious itineraries for her size.
