80 Black Edition Power Cat Debuts For VisionF

CL Yachts CLX96 SAV
Reinventing the Motoryacht; Rise of the Sea Activity Vessel
In the yachting universe, recognizable design elements generally convey a brand while polarizing designs often create a stir. It's an elusive emotional quotient that isn't clearly defined. So what happens when a super-modern superstructure collides with a commercial workboat bow? Is it an emerging design trend or a one-hit wonder? Before you decide, step inside the CLX96 SAV or Sea Activity Vessel, an acronym spawned by this clean-sheet, floating biosphere where interior and exterior space expand to become an infinite number. This boat was built to make walls disappear, leaving you immersed in your surroundings and discarding the notion that no man is an island. In September of 2022, the CL team invited me to join them for a seatrial of the CLX96...Reinventing the Motoryacht; Rise of the Sea Activity Vessel
