The planning of this project took place approx. one year prior to the production start. Several proposals and studies were made. The original concepts were worked around a 90 FT LOA project. Variations in styling and concepts between the proposals made spanned from fairly modern to almost classic styling. In the final end the owner opted for a styling more toward the conservative side with characteristic sheer, longer overhangs, etc. with a final
LOA of 97 FT. The exterior of the yacht should be the same as on a wooden yacht with a wood covered deck house (glossy varnished). Behind the surface the yacht was to be super modern utilizing
Epoxy, carbon laminates in order to reduce the weight hence optimize sailing performance. Hull and deck plus main bulkheads were built in Epoxy / Carbon / Vacuum bagged laminates resulting
in a substantial weight saving compared to conventional materials and methods. In order to reach a high stability with moderate draft and with moderate ballast weight a casted S.S. keel fin was opted for with a lead bulb. The S.S. keel fin allowed for a much lighter fin and this allowed for higher bulb weight all resulting in low ballast CG. The interior layout had to offer very comfortable cruising facilities for the owner and his family plus for occasional guests. However Bulkheads an main paneling was made in sandwich construction for weight saving reason
