The Design

About 54ft Racer Cruiser Högpresterande Yacht

Utvecklad för ett italienskt varv, med stort fokus på att skapa en lätt, säker och snabb segelyacht som är lätt att hantera även av en liten besättning. Samtidigt lätt att bygga i serieproduktion. En lättviktig yacht byggd helt i kolfiber med olika inredningslösningar för att passa olika kunders varierande behov. Däcksutformningen har en cockpit uppdelad i en segling- och arbetsyta samt en avkopplingsyta runt cockpitbordet. Kraftfulla skrovformer valdes för att generera mer stabilitet och därmed möjliggöra säkrare och mer komfortabel segling även i grov sjö.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: The yacht was developed for an Italian boat yard with the emphasis to create a light, safe and fast sailing yacht, which can be handle also by a small crew, yet to be easy to build in a series production setup.
It is a Full carbon light weight yacht with different interior layouts to choose from, in order to suit the various needs of different clients. The yacht features powerful hull shapes to generate more stability, and therefore allows for a safer and more comfortable sailing also in rough seas. This is further enhanced by the low weight achieved by using carbon.
Dimensions & Packaging: Length over all 16.425 m / Beam max 5.010 m / Displacement ca.12.300 kg @ measurement trim / draft 3.000 m
Tags: yacht design, sailing yacht, high performance, racer, cruiser
Production Technology: Full Carbon-sandwich construction,
carbon mast,
composite rigging,
CNC milled high strength steel fin
Design Challenge: Studies were made how weight can be reduced also by the aesthetics trying to show a certain lightness in the appearance of the yacht, and how to avoid a complicated building process, but using this limit as an aesthetical feature.
Research: - 10 different hull shapes were studied to optimise the boat for high stability and good seaworthiness
- a detailed weight estimate was made, from which areas of weight savings could have been established and further weight reduction was achieved by using carbon throughout the hull, deck and structures.
- performance parameters were optimised for the wind conditions of the Mediterranean sea
- parameters of similar size boats of the competitors were studied in depth
- further studies of the deck layout and deck ergonomics were carried out to optimise the yacht also when used by a small crew
Inspiration: Performance is the new Elegance, was the main idea which has been followed on this design. The exterior styling should show the sporty and a performance character of the boat, yet it should be elegant and timeless with well balanced proportions, not following common trends in order not to be outdated in a few years. A design which is elegant and light in both senses. Light in the appearance. Light in terms of weight.
Project Duration: The concept design started in October 2020, preliminary design was done in 2021, and the project is now ready to start with the mould making and the series production.
Operation Flow: The main focus was to separate the cockpit into a sailing, working area and the relaxing area around the cockpit table. All winches for the sail control are grouped beside or in front of the steering wheel, in order that the helmsman can sail the yacht alone from the steering area once the sails are hoisted. This was done for safety reason, so that guests who are not used to sailing do not interfere during sailing manoeuvres. Dedicated sun bathing areas are on the foredeck and coachroof. The yacht meets also all requirements for the ISO standards, to be operated on the open sea without any limits.
