P A N D O R A 170m / 555 feet...

As if 90 meter wasn´t enough, but I wanted to see if it was possible to make a yacht of 170 m without the look of a cruise ship.
Since there are almost no marinas taking this size of yacht, you have to carry a number of good size tenders and maybe more than one helicopter. So I made two big landing pads and a heli-garage under the aft one. Two Solas approved life boats are stored in a pocket at the transom.
Well, how long will it take before we see yachts of this magnitude?

Thank you for the kind words!

I look forward to see more of your designs, just create a thread and upload them. You need to shrink them to fit into the frame you can see on the screen though, to avoid scrolling and to not interfere with the ads.

I am using Freehand, almost the same as Corel I think? 3D-programs are too limited when it comes to alter the design in process, and time consuming.

24 M / 80´ Flybridge Cruiser

As a spin-off from the 42 m Yacht-Fish above I once made a smaller yacht to fit in under the magic 24 meters. She can be owner operated and features a small office outside the owners stateroom. Still with nice crew accommodations forward. The wheelhouse can be enclosed as well as the galley. More of a big yacht in a smaller size than a traditional flybridge. Can have shafts and tunnels or waterjets for a cruising speed around 25 knots.

Tetou, 26 m / 85 feet, an "Absolut Classic" yacht!

After looking through all the designs on these pages, both mine and others, I think I have nominated my final Dreamyacht. You can see all of her on the first page in this thread, except I have extended her and raised the wheelhouse a bit. She can now be built by Moonen Shipyards on the DIANA designed hull they used on the classic Moonen 85. Like this, with a lower superstructure she will be more stable at sea and also easier to handle shorthanded in ports.
The wooden trim and doors should be epoxy treated for minimum maintenance and the classic Donzi 16 would make a nice tender, like most yachts had in the early seventies.

120´/ 36 m, A B S T R A C T A

Which yachts of today will be the future Classics?

Will it be the "bubble design" with teardrop windows or will it be the "new edge" with minimalistic styling? Or something else?

Since I have problems with too curvy designs, I am leaning towards more architectural and clean lines and decorations. This 120-footer has some lines similar to Bauhaus or Californian houses and could have an interior with Le Corbusier, Mackintosh, van Der Rohe or why not Starck, all of them modern classics.

To look back might be a safe way for the style of tomorrow ?

Modesty, now 280´/ 85m...

Since most people will never get access to a Harrier VTOL-jet, I have reduced the size of the 300´ yacht I made a couple of weeks ago (above), to 280 feet. She will still have a heli-garage under the landing pad, tenders in pockets in the hull and spacious accommodations over six decks.

E L E C T R A , 360´/ 110 M

Another Gigayacht along the same design theme as Pandora and Modesty.
This time in classic white and with a pretty high and wide body. As many new yachts she will most likely have diesel-electric pods for quiet, vibration-free, fuel efficient and clean propulsion.

Thank you for asking, but reality came in between so I have not had enough time to get it finished yet. Maybe after the holidays...?

As a hint on how she will look, I´ll post the very first outlines here;

Let´s name her after our Swedish Crown Princess; Victoria. Good enough?

Hi JRM,

Thank you, and the Baglietto you have seen was one of my favorites too! I saw it as an unfinished hull and superstructure in Italy where it was abandoned for a while. Later I think someone finished her, but not exactly as good as she was intended, I only remember to have seen one picture that must have been of this boat.

The yacht on a previous page that I call Futura, is inspired from this Bannenberg design and I once showed it to him to get his reaction on the similarity? But he was kind and said it was a "very refrained and good looking yacht"!

Regarding deck plans I have not made GA:s on yachts bigger than 55 m (180´) mainly because the added space can be used in so many ways depending on the clients ideas. Maybe I will finish the GA:s for the 70 m Explorer Polara since I am currently preparing the deck plans for a model to be made...
