iYacht design & engineering’s Post

Just a quick reminder as the Monaco Yacht Show is starting today and maybe that put you in the mood to finally make your dream come true and get yourself a yacht. Don’t let anybody else tell you how your dreams are supposed to look like. Or that they should look just like anybody else’s dreams. If what you have in mind looks different or outright alien, that’s cool. It’s your dream after all and we think that should be respected. You know what? Chances are it can be made reality, too. There are people in our industry who just love to think outside the box and who are happiest when you throw a real challenge at them. ’Tobiko’ is an ultra-light 40m SWATH that might not offer you the biggest volume you can put on the water. Or 4 guest rooms. Or a pool. It does, however, offer you a very stable platform (some say it’s impossible to get seasick aboard a SWATH) and a very unique way of being on the water. #christianleyk #coquinedesign #yachting #yachtdesign #professionaldreamer #mys #monacoyachtshow #designstudio #lifestyle #dreamyacht #dreamproject #dreamscometrue #yourdreams #yachtproject #SWATH #thinkdifferent 

Help keep the Reaper sailing...... A once common sight up and down the east coast of Scotland – as here in Wick Harbour around 1905. The Fifie sailing lugger grew out of earlier, local building traditions and, by the time the Museum’s Fifie ‘Reaper’ FR958 was built in 1902/3, had been perfected to take full account of the most advanced thinking in hull strength and speed, the latest in equipment and steam-powered winches and the finest modern materials for nets, buoys and canvas sails. The ‘Reaper’, once an ordinary working boat, is now an extraordinary exemplar of design and technology at the point at which sail gave way to steam power. Looking at this photograph of Fifies crowded in Wick harbour, it is sobering to think that of all the luggers that once thronged the harbours, only a handful now remain, of which the ‘Reaper’ is the largest still sailing with her traditional lug rig.

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 350... What comes after good? by John Curnow, Global Editor, Sail-World Well if you get it right, then it's usually, great. Miss the mark, and the slide down and out the other side is not so glorious. Often leaves everyone with a, 'Well. That didn't work, now did it?' kind of feeling. Good thing then that Jeanneau's new Sun Odyssey 350 is all about the former, and none of the latter. "What really got my attention when sailing her was just how easily driven the hull is," added Condell. "Yes, you can go to town with performance sails, and I for one would love to see the Sun Odyssey 350 with a deck sweeper jib, and a fat head main (on cars). The power of the latter, especially off the breeze, would be demonstrable. I think it is fair to say one of the first owners may well carry out this exact transformation, especially if they want to upset the racing fraternity."

The making of the new Swift Trawler 54: CHAPTER 3 - A Fusion Hull In this third episode, Robert Chaffer and Bill Dixon introduce us to one of the many innovations aboard the Swift Trawler 54: the “Fusion” hull. The “Fusion” hull form created by Dixon Yacht Design provides improved sailing performance, excellent handling and great comfort. Bill Dixon goes into more detail about the advantages of this new state-of-the-art solution: “This boat has a narrower hull as it cuts through the water and then it widens widens out. So the actual bit that cuts through the water is narrower and deeper and rounded. So what happens when you go into a head? See that will be a softer motion into a head.” Discover this model: https://lnkd.in/exXrnGMV #SwiftTrawler54 #newboat #boatdesign

#ExplorerYacht #Superyacht #OwnerExperience #CustomProjects #Results Take a look at this article! The perfect summary for a custom project, for me: from the words of the Owner, the motivation behind the project (one of the most beautiful, in my opinion) and the right spirit in which it was managed and experienced is clearly understood. This, combined with the skilled experience of a Shipyard, creates a mix of love for the project, defined objectives, and teamwork that can only lead to success and satisfaction resuts. Congrats!
