Have to agree, Utopia does have a narrow beam for her size. Should slice through rough seas very well though. What she lacks in beam, she makes up for in sheer square footage.
Visited Feadship Some time ago I visited the De Vries - Feadship yard when Utopia was still "hull 667". I even was given permission to make photographs in the yard, but I'm not allowed to show them online. I was told then (apart from the sad story about the fairly young owner who slipped on the soap in his bath) that a lot of the hull design, and part of the superstructure were inspired by Wedge 2. If you put the 2 designs next to each other you can see the resemblance.
But I like thin ladies Yes Utopia is not too wide in the beam, but her interior is fantastic. I just wrote a feature on it. You don't experience the width because of teh styling. Clever old folks Redman Whiteley Dixon.
