    Nice exercise in style, but no side decks, no railings, no outside/outdoor space ahead of the very aft and lower deck?
    Also, the heli deck platform is too close to the “sail” as they say on submarines, or smoke stack, or whatever it is just in front of the chopper.
    Other than that, the 130m seems straight out of a James Bond movie, or a Pentagon design study in
    Bad Azz Boats.:cool:

    Maybe I should make a better rendering and also from above, remember, it is a Cat, probably 40 meter wide, so there will be plenty of space for walking and choppers...

    Aha, Cat..
    I missed that part, my bad.
    40 meters wide, no problem fitting a helicopter or two.:cool:

    I have squeezed in three, but this can be too many. Anyway, something like this...

    Mr. AMG: The US Marine Corp would buy your concept cat in a flash: Low profile, and stealth, plenty helicopter landing pads (And hangars? High tech aircraft and salt water is a bad combo)
    So would Elon if you name the craft X.:cool:

    True…:eek:
    It somehow resembles the Sydney Opera House and very unlike your previous work.
    Design study or a boat in the making?

    There are plans for a 20 meter house-boat production, but the final design is not decided on yet...

    How about a 200 m Neo Classic yacht?

    Not really, this is a futuristic take on classic lines... Nero could be mistaken for a 100 years old boat.

    Nice lines, as usual from your desk.
    The first question is: What are the masts for?
    1) To hang sails and rigging on?
    2) To dress up the ship with signal flags?
    3) Or just for looks, and some inherent stability?

    No wrong answer of course, just curious.
    This design would indeed be a one off and ordered as such by a (Nostalgic) client.
    To build and Then try to sell would be risky for sure.

    The world could use more of these “different” designs but evolution has ruled yachts/ships for a reason, efficiency with no wasted space and hydro dynamics, going back 100 years even using modern materials and technology may be challenging? :oops:

    Your first question, you answered correctly yourself, all of this.

    And yes, it will of course be a one off, at least in this size. But I don't think the client who will build it is nostalgic, rather want the most beautiful yacht ever built.. :)

    When it comes to the evolution of yacht designs, it is painful to see and the bigger the yacht is, the more materials are wasted... This is why I wanted to look back on the days when yachts were still beautiful when I made this giant boat... The good designs made in the last 30 years, I can count on one hand...

    So, a sailing ship, or rather hybrid with the tall stack, motorsailer.
    Now we need a long and deep keel but will it be retractable, or partially so to get the draft to under 15 feet or even less?
    Lots of weight and engineering then, possibly noisy at a rocky anchorage hopefully not like the Bayesian.
    Lots of challenges to make this work and make it a practical sailing ship.
    (Much easier to keep the lines and masts for looks only, or just hank on a few downwind sails with less draft and ballast needed, like a Viking Ship. :cool:
    Aye Mr, AMG, this will be a challenging project, hat off if you can pull it off.:D

    This is a diesel-electric motor yacht that can have a couple of downwind sails for show, the draft will be around 25 feet...
    Remember, she is 200 meter/655 feet LOA

    Maybe too big for a yacht?
    No marina can accommodate that size, only deep water ports used mainly for commercial ships, or she is destined to always anchor out and access land by tender only? :(

    Perhaps better suited as an exclusive long range cruise ship on round the world voyages?
    (Downwind only :cool:)
