    I like it, but I have one question. At what speed does the blunt bow cease to be efficient, if it does? The reason I ask is that this appears to be a fast yacht. I also wonder if you might want to try a bit more flare to dry the ride.

    Interesting ! I like the strait bow and the hard chine line.

    Same question as above : do you foresee a small sprayrail in the fwd section at chine level to redirect the bow wave down ? At high speed, that may be spectacular if not :)
    It would give also a slight increase in stability when planning if extended to the transom.

    Very nice indeed. The glass roof and windows of the bridge are nicely shaped, I am not to keen about those round portholes though, they look a bit old fashioned to me... those could be shaped much more sporty ... otherwise a very cool design. Go on ;)

    I like the profile of your 77'. It makes me warm and fuzzy all over.

    I might agree to a degree about the round portholes 'atomare' mentioned. Perhaps also one or two more portholes at the bow area to balance somewhat the ones aft? Having said that, I am just the 'outsider' with design opinions. :)

    Thanks for your input.
    Its a early stage of styling.
    Im sketching on a flybridge deck, ext. cockpit , playing with different portholes,flare, colors etc. Updates to come.

    From my point of view, forget the hard top on flybridge. It is completly killing the dynamism of the design.

    In raised position, Yes I agree but in lowered (retractable) position it give can a very dynamic style? Practical too I think ?

    Maybe stupid question : I think you need a hard top when it is raining, but if it rains, you're usually going on bridgedeck, aren't you ?
    That' what I would do on my own.

    If it is only for sun, maybe a bimini is enough ? You could save a lot of weight, and probably space into superstructure if you can remove the retractable system.

    I have to agree with Sylvain about the hard top. It really should not be there at all. Your first image is THE one. I think the combination of the sporty superstructure, the aft feminin curve and the straight masculine bow somehow just works as is. My two cents.

    Its only for sun and yes I agree, a bimini will do the work.
    I also agree with BjornS that it looks better without flybridge
    but we need it as option and its a challenge to incorporate it into the design.

    hi orion

    just with the hard top, i think there might be a path not yet taken... with the profile u have given us... it looks like it should be on a explorer/heavy cruiser, with the roof and the foward angle on the windscreen. is it possible to take the windscreen away - give more volume to the fly bridge - bring some of the curves from the cabin and create a spoiler, which u can then mt the domes aerials etc - use the existing roof design and scale it down to create a fly bridge roof. the roof will have to be a good meter shorter then the one u have now.

    if u want me to sketch something up i would be more than happy.

    Something about from the deck up and especially the fly bridge itself makes me think of a Princess/Viking SC.

    I love this design!! It's so good to see something different in a smaller range. I talked with some people at trinity and they say the vertical bows are easy to do, even in a smaller range. I'm working on a custom project with them and the designs are similar to yours. Great job!!

    Round of applause for Orion.

    I love the design. Are there any interior arrangements available?
    The flybridge also looks very nice, but without it looks just as impressive.
    Maybe skip the round portholes and change them to rectangular windows would look more modern.

    Nevertheless, this is simply a matter of personal preference.
    Personally I think you’ve done a spectacular job, especially because it’s a yacht of just 77’.
    The shape of the hull and superstructure is also very suitable to experiment with different two-tone colour schemes.
    The fourth image with the graphite superstructure and silver hull looks very nice!:)
    I hope you’ll find a shipyard that will take it in production.
