The elements of design, such as the lines, shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, are the building blocks used to create a work of art. This holds true for one of the newest superyacht creations to come from the Yay Shipyard and Sinot Yacht Design, Elements.
Elements’ fully welded construction will consist of a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure. Her displacement-type hull will have a flared bow, transom stern, and aft shell doors on both sides turning the lazarette into a fully functional “Beach Club”.
This superyacht will be designed and built as a Lloyd’s Register SSC Rules Private Yacht with the registry: 100 A1, SSC, Yacht (P), Mono, G6, LMC, UMS. She will also fulfill the Cayman Islands registration requirements as a Large Commercial Yacht Code II, carrying no more than 12 passengers. Based on these standards and elements of design, Element has been designed for unlimited and luxurious worldwide cruising with trans-Atlantic capability.
Elements’ propulsion train will have two Caterpillar marine diesel engines, for a total continuous output of 4,700 kW (6,300 BHP) at 1,800 rpm. Each engine will drive a fixed pitch propeller with reverse and reduction gear box, providing her with a maximum speed of 16 knots, a cruising speed of 15.0 knots, and a range of 8000 nautical miles (cruising at an economical 12 knots). Elements’ electrical power is supplied by four 250 ekW main diesel generators and one emergency 225 ekW diesel back-up genset.
This superyacht will have five decks: tank deck, lower deck, main/fore deck, bridge deck (upper/sun deck) and sun deck. Below the main deck, the hull will be subdivided into watertight compartments. With the main entrance set on the main deck, starboard side amidships. The main stairway and elevator will connect the entrance atrium with the four other decks, including the underwater observation lounge on the tank deck.
Listed here are the general arrangements for each Elements’ decks, the details of which are still being considered by the able team of Sinot Yacht Design.
