As you might have been interested in how a big sail boat can be planned, I will again show you this design concept from 1997.
The "Independence" above has the engine room low in the center of the yacht, but most of the Perinis have them aft as in this design. It gives a little less space for guest cabins, but many other advantages.
This yacht also have a passage-way for crew under all the cabins and there deep down under the waterline is a library/cinema/music room as well as cold rooms for storage of food and also garbage forward. Adjacent to the engine room is two cabins for engineer and deck hands.
The owners accommodation above is almost as in the Independence but turned around so the landing platform is in the center of the yacht. Further forward is two double and one twin guest cabin and then follows the crew mess and four cabins.
In the streamlined deckhouse is the bridge next to a formal dining area followed by the galley and the main salon. Aft deck is partly covered by the flybridge, it can be enclosed and serves as a second big living area. The raised aft deck hides the two big tenders while a crew tender and PWC:s are on fore deck.
On the flybridge you have all the tools for the automatic sails, a jacuzzi and sun bathing area. On the rigging, this furling fishermans sail in between the masts, should probably be replaced by a more efficient main sail but otherwise I think she is still up to date...
