Yes Catmando, We were building very light boats in the past. A 24-footer could weigh in at under 100kg and we could put on a V8 racing...
Thanks for showing us your little darling! With that power you must be brave, is it approaching 100 knots? We had a 25-foot monohull with 700hp...
Which kind of VP is fitted? Big or small block, alu or composite drives?
Yes, I agree on that, most owners wouldn´t even dare to build a large one-off sailing yacht. But if they like what they see in a Perini, a Jongert...
Thanks Joe, This ketch was designed for an experienced owner who, like me, don´t like to have a lot of guests onboard. He never charters so...
Hi Joe, Glad to have you onboard the YachtForums. I must say that I am surprised that sailing yachts are still outnumbered by the motoryachts?...
I can only say that we are all waiting for some of these projects to be seen, but for now little is known of what is for real and not... This...
Hi Ben and Kelly, For once, I can not follow what you are saying? Sure most boats have different hull shapes for different purposes, or are you...
As you say, crew rotation has very much to do with where and how a yacht is used. In the merchant navy you have it and most swedish captains are...
Yes it is sad. Some crew mistakes for sure, as everywhere in real life. Also some bad designs/constructions. And many yachts kept in a bad shape...
Thank you for the comments! The big windows in the hull are also balconies to the guest suites, why portholes can not really replace them....
170 m + 122 m Pandora Some of you have asked for a picture comparing the two Pandora´s, and since they look alike I can understand this. So here...
If you just continue to add details, she will probably come out right. The lines are a bit like http://www.gentryeagle.com/ which isn´t bad. A...
Welcome to YachtForums, we really need more designs:) As a rendering it is very good. As a yacht I have to agree with Gomaarten, it can not be...
The only rationale for buying an expensive painting, at least where I live, is that you can enjoy it all year round. But I still prefer a few...
Thanks for asking Codger. I can´t say that I prefer a certain style as my "label" and my answer should really be that my next design will be my...
English is not my first language, but I think people in this biz is talking of yachts built ON speculation or built TO specification. As an...
First, I am not a naval architect, but I still like to design a preliminary hull as I think it is an integral part of a yacht concept. My idea...
This was one of the early Bannenberg designs with this kind of style, but it has been used the last hundred years. Leander, Wedge Too and...
The Bannenberg designs were different. Not from above, but from the side the windows were not oversized and seemingly unprotected as in the yachts...
