MAY 2009
This contemporary beauty was designed for a European by Luca Brenta and features an interior by the Dutch studio Wetzel Brown partners.
She is particularly lightweight, despite a coachroof/coaming structure clad with no fewer than 75 flat-glass panels that weigh in at 1.3 tonnes. She has a composite (carbonfibre/balsa/vinylester) hull and deck and a honeycomb-cored interior.
Mostly black and white, the interior palette makes use of carbonfibre, leather and transparent panels, enhanced by white leathers, linens, silks; plus combinations of gloss and matt lacquers and the odd LED lightwall.
Each guest cabin has the flexibility to be arranged as a private lounge with a deep sofabeds. The owner’s cabin occupies the entire area forward of the mast. It includes two double beds, an open plan dressing area and bathroom that connects to a private spa in the bow.
