Sorry, Sarah-Michelle, but I see nothing new in this design of NAYA; just the same profile seen for the past 30 years. Think outside the box.

Heres something thats bugging me. The wheelhouse / helm area front screens on all of these concepts are far too raked. Looks sleek no argument, but in the real world they wont work.
Reflections from the helm console will be all the skipper will see.
More importantly, at the size these things apparently are, the massive chord of the front screen will mean very thick glass, probably laminated, to comply with even basic build regs....the visibility therefore will be abysmal due to refraction and striations in the glass, even worse if the screen panels are curved. Tinted front screens are not allowed by most ruling bodies, so the skipper and any guests sat next to him will cook too.

Dear Sarah- Michelle,

I like your design, are you a palmer johnsson fan?

I have a slight problem with Design of My Riva Super America,
I Am have tottaly, reffitting this classic 45 feet yacht, it is now 50 feet i exteneded, it 5 feet so there is more room on the aft deck,
My problem is that i will use this yacht in Thailand and a Bimini is a must, i am now looking at different solutions ( designs) for a bimini, and a small targa,to hold the radar.
Any suggestions?


Dear Sara-Michelle, see the link for a picture of a Riva Super america, please note i have taken off the targa, i do not like it.
I could send you a image of my Riva, if you give me your email
