Super Yacht Catamaran, Eco 110

I'm not normally attracted to many new yacht designs, both sail and power, BUT this one caught my eye,...what one might term a 'superyacht size'. Look thru these many illustrations,..

I like the idea of a boomless mainsail, but I wonder how they are going to tame it?

Check out the accommodations inside,..nicely laid out. There may be a bit too much 'stuff' on top of the upper deck,...maybe OK at anchor or in port.

The power version, Eco Yacht Power

.....much nicer looking than any number of those other power cats

Two major innovations to be featured: a centered carbon mast with no boom (with a mainsail that comes out of, and stows back in a locker, so is set on an all-or-nothing basis) and VIP aft cabins giving onto the sugarscoops - which transform into a beach club thanks to retractable hull sides. The Eco Yacht intends to use these new concepts to convince superyacht owners to build a multihull superyacht. More info in our next issue, MW173.

Pajot Custom Yachts has released a spectacular concept for ‘The Eco Yacht’ Catamaran 110’, an innovative easy-sailing cat without a boom. Features include forward helm stations integrated into the side decks, supported by an interior navigation and monitoring station.


The boomless yacht – a design as old as the first Dart 16 and more recently used on the AC75 yachts for the 36th America’s Cup – incorporates a narrow, square-topped mainsail (180sqm), which can be hoisted or lowered in less than four minutes and stored in a locker on the expansive flybridge.


“The absence of a boom allows for very simple, safe trimming,” says company founder Marc Pajot, the legendary French sailor who has been designing racing multihulls since 1980 and involved in the brokerage of luxury yachts since 2001.


Pajot, 67, created the 110-footer with Nicolas Fauroux, an engineer and naval architect whose designs include the 40m sloop Vaimiti, as well as Franck de Rivoyre and Christophe Larose, structural and rigging engineers who have worked on the majority of sailing catamarans over 18m (59ft) including round-the-world record breakers Foncia and Groupama.
