About Nausicaa 游艇

Nausicaa是一艘24米长的帆船游艇,专为精简船员配置的高性能巡航而设计。船体结构与桅杆索具均采用全碳纤维材料,通过夹层结构工艺与环氧树脂灌注技术打造,确保了游艇的轻量化。修长的船体造型与极简的上层建筑轮廓,赋予了Nausicaa当代设计风格。船体上一扇大型舷窗形成了极具辨识度的线条,这一设计元素也在内部空间中得以呼应。全船宽的主人套房坐拥全景视野,并可直接私密通往海滩区域。经过精心设计的甲板布局,使小规模船员也能轻松驾驭这艘游艇。

The slender hull shape, and the very minimalistic superstructure profile give Nausicaa a modern and contemporary style, along with with its unique big hull window that confers a very recognizable line that is also reflected in interior spaces. The full beam master suite has panoramic views and direct private access to the yacht’s beach area.

Production Technology: The design started from hand sketching and was followed by 2D drawings and 3D modelling. It was a very iterative process that finished with the result of the renders, 2D technical drawings and an engineering technical report. The construction technique for the actual yacht was calculated to be full carbon fiber and sandwich with epoxy infusion.
Design Challenge: One of the main challenges the team had to overcome was the different discipline backgrounds from its three members: product design, architecture and naval engineering. However, this challenge ended up being an strength that allowed the team to learn much more along the process and to obtain a very complete project. It was also particulary difficult to find the appropiate information about the materials and propulsion in order to achieve a environment-friendly yacht, which restricted the team options in that matter.
Research: The research was focused on yachts with the same lenght. The objective was to create a database to obtain main dimensions and design inspiration. The methodology used was creating a data spreadsheet, a cad comparison file and an inspiration moodboard. This data collection allowed the team to start from a solid base and develop further the technical and aesthetic design of the project. The research was fundamental for the results obtained.
Inspiration: The project ideas started from various iconic design references. The inspiration came from other yacht designs of similar lenghts and different design details from a variety of brands and products. Wally played an importan role for both the exterior and interior design: the 'terrace on the sea', the minimalistic exterior profile, the interior steps and furniture forms, among others. Pininfarina was also a great source of inspiration in terms of interior forms and details.
Project Duration: One year development, in Milan.
Operation Flow: The yacht project is born from the idea of allowing short hand sailing, something quite unusual in larger lengths. A well thought and studied deck layout and equipment is the key to this easy sailing feature. The beach area offers the possibility to use the last step from the cockpit as a seating bench and storage. Thanks to the teak extended along the sides it is possible to lean on and enjoy the fantastic terrace with views.
