The main philosophy for the project was to create a Mega Cruising Yacht that would be outstanding in performance, styling and technology.

One of the key factors that influenced a Mega Yacht's performance and handling characteristics is the displacement. The target displacement for this project was half of what is "normal" for the size of this yacht. The only way to achieve that is to use high technology and the best materials available, plus also develop a keel design with an ample sailing draft but with possibilities to reduce the keel draft to access harbors. This, plus the task of building a pleasant interior including raised panels was a challenge and inspiration to everybody involved.

One important factor in a project like this is a very good and close co-operation between naval architect, interior designer stylist and the boat yard. Based on the experience so far we are confident that the "team" that was involved in this project was second to none.

Together with the owners, naval architect judel/vrolijk & co and interior designer John Munford plus our own in-house design team, R&J Design we made this project something really outstanding.
