Exercise de style

Heading to a different way

This is Minotaure, son of Pasiphae : 15.00m - high standard sailing boat.
More details to come, but the spirit is there.

Press article - SVDesign

I got interesting article about my work in The Yacht Report, April 2009.
It was a full page into Fleet News "Out of the Ordinary", with very encouraging comments.

Complement

Newcomer - Vif Argent

Hi everybody.

I did not post recently, very busy on other affairs, but I had the time to elaborate something new again, a mix between glider and foiler.

I hope you will like Vif Argent

Here is the principle behind Vif Argent, with complete adjustable system for the gliders.

It is more of less the same story with this kind of ship.

There is no complete catwalk all around the last ship - only above fwd foil, for docking, and aft.
I put a side door on Vif Argent, giving access to the rear arm, widen to allow crew to walk in when the ship is in low position and to go to the side hull for docking purposes.
Washing can be a problem - I agree.
I will thinking to a different design for bridge, with more shadow

Two other renders of the thing.

Hello !
I was slightly away from the forum since last September, but I'm now back to affairs

Here is the latest concept : PRIVATE
Length : 89.00m

She can be used as private yacht, but also as a kind of mini-cruiser, with very high luxury standards on board. The look can appear very casual compared to what I sketched previously, but the volume available for accomodation is therefore considerable for 89m "only".

As a yacht, I would accomodate owner suite on top deck, with a wide and protected sun deck aft. VIP cabins and lounges can be laid on main deck, and all crew cabin and facilities at lower deck and under.

Wheelhouse is designed for a wide view angle, and fitted with a comfortable aviation control room for helicopter operations.

Hot water production is optimized with solar panels on top.

I'm preparing the lazarette arrangement, with something special in there.....

Quiet.....

new concept : Esquisse

She is a more conventional design, 55m length : Esquisse.

I'm pretty sure she will be much more appreciated that raw Private.
I went as far a possible with my computer capabilities, and as a consequence the transom remains a bit 'simple' and small equipment is missing on decks (lights, antennas,...) but the line is there.

I will try another set of colours this evening, much more "dark side", just for fun

Here are new renders, with small details added. I found a way to recover some memory with different meshing parameters and no loss of accuracy. I still have to work on the stern - I'm not really happy with it - something is missing...

I tried full blue, and silver/blue.
