DESIGN COMMENTS:
26m Motor Yacht
With a history of design of stable, soft riding and efficient planing
monohulls and international recognition of excellence in styling, it was
only logical that CLD would combine the instantly recognisable style of
the aggressive looking wavepiercer, with a single hull.
The craft has been designed with the intention of providing a clear
differentiation from the many generically styled motor yachts of similar
size on the market today.
The styling is unique, sharing elegantly traditional cues with strikingly
modern, predatory looks yet without the ‘quirkiness’ that so often
is used to separate one design from others.
Great emphasis has been placed on making the owner’s suite an exceptional
space to live, with plenty of room, optimising the available light and
sightlines whilst incorporating the additional benefit of an indoor outdoor
flow.
The use of internal volume is efficient, without creating tight, awkward
spaces – the passageways and doorways are of generous proportions to emphasise
the feeling of spaciousness.
Plenty of thought has been placed into practicalities also – the mast
rakes hydraulically to reduce the overall height of the vessel for bridge
clearance and a unique twin chine design eliminates annoying chine slap
whilst at rest.
Although still at conceptual stage, the realisation of this vessel will
be a superb motor yacht and a mark of distinction.
