Hi all,
back from Düsseldorf Boat Show now and ready for new ideas.

I saw so many Yachts on the show but saw nothing new. I feel that all exhibitors are not happy and Yacht sales between 50 and 100 feet are totaly down in Germany in the moment. In some Yachts the Crew cabins are like a casket and also have no storage for clothes. I think we have to think about the people who lives on this PERFECT YACHT first and have to create a design where Owners and Crews can live for a long time. I also saw that the explorer style Yachts come up more and more. A catamaran style Yacht is a good idea because we have enought space a smaller fuel consumption and a higher range with more cruising speed.
Many owners want to charter but i think you will not find a berth ( 2-3 ) in the main season for a Cat Yacht.
Also owners wants to reduce the crew on the next boat.
So we have to think about a Yacht that is easy to maintain and to handle with a small crew.
Reading through this thread i think it is very difficult to create our Dream Yacht here.
So lets us fix some details in a voting about lenght,style,range,speed.
I would suggest a 40m format. ( 33m as Cat )
