DESIGN COMMENTS:
31m Wavepiercer
This vessel has been designed with three variations, separately fulfilling
requirements for operation in the Mediterranean, and for both tropical
and temperate regions of the USA. This three and a half deck vessel is
intended to fulfil the role of a high quality, private motor yacht, with
the ability to operate commercially for top quality charters.
Interior arrangements on the upper level will vary depending on the
configuration. The fully enclosed version permits the bridge and captain’s
quarters to move to this level, leaving the next deck down clear for an
enormous owner’s suite, although the upper deck could also make for a skylounge
with 360 degree panoramic views. Open versions of the boat would be configured
as a flybridge, with sun beds, wet bars and a Jacuzzi if preferred.
The mid or bridge deck level houses the bridge island in its forward
sections, and as the main control station for the vessel incorporates twin
helm seats, navigation and communications systems and major ship control
functions. Guest seating is also located in the bridge which converts to
an ’on watch’ berth. The captain’s double cabin with ensuite bathroom facilities
is located immediately adjacent to the bridge - a useful safety feature.
A Portuguese Bridge permits foredeck access from the bridge as well
as allowing crew to access the service sections of the vessel without the
need to enter the accommodation areas of the vessel.
The owner’s suite occupies the entire aft sections of the bridge deck
level and is designed as a multi-functional area, affording the utmost
privacy for the owner, but also offering a relaxed private meeting and
al fresco dining area for guests if required.
The main deck level accommodates four large guest staterooms all with
king sized beds and ensuite bathrooms in the forward sections of the vessel.
Further aft, access to the upper decks can be gained from a centrally located
stairwell adjacent to the large galley.
Seating for ten is available in the formal dining area, which is divided
from the lounge by a central island. A large al fresco dining area is located
not far from here on the aft deck.
Twin curving stairways provide access from the aft deck onto the lower
elevator deck, which houses the 5.5m tender and two, three man jet skis.
Hydraulically actuated, the elevator deck lowers from wingdeck height 1.7m
above the waterline to 1m below, allowing easy launch and retrieve of the
tenders and forming an unparalleled means of access to the water for swimmers
and divers.
Accommodation within the demi-hulls is provided for an engineer, a workshop
and a twin guest bunkroom in the opposite demi-hull. Both cabins have adjacent
toilet and shower facilities.
