The only place you could satisfactorily use that interior without frequent spillages or personal injury is whilst stationary in the dry dock. I’m sure it will sell very well.

As an modernist architect and competitive sailor the hard edged interior is incongruous with yacht racing – whilst I am an admirer of Pawson, Silvestrin et al, this looks to be a far from satisfactory marriage – whilst the boat itself is undeniably beautiful, the interior is a recipe for injury once the boat is under race or ocean conditions. Even at anchor, in swell, or wind rock the edges would be dangerous. Form over function.

Nothing special, nothing new, useless.
Interior : look IKEA exhibitions, staight edges is not everything to make clear space (on the boat dangerous)!!!
Where is a place on the board to sit for sailor?
Totally wrong design, please look into the future, not behind !

As soon as you catch a wave with this your onion-soup will be all over your knees.
Enjoy.

Essence of modern sailing! Absolutely beautiful!
Rendering shows a lot of light for yacht without windows???
All electric lighting and there goes peace and silence, roaring generator?
Not much comfort either at the helm though…. but
Cool design

I know nothing about boats – but this is beautiful!!! Please bring it to Venice for the Biennale so we can all see it!

i’m wondering if John Pawson and Luca Brenta have ever spend an hour in one sailing boat. i mean a real one in the real sea, maybe with the real wind. how can they design this very pretty but completely dangerous interior? why they haven’t enough imagination to design a minimal but functional interior????
only nice picture?

pretty to be sure – but what’s with the terrible cloning job on the first shot?
