My Trust fits her highly dynamic appearance well within the parameters of timeless design. Classical details include the majestic blue hull as well as, more subtly, the teak caprails and veneered recesses around windows. More generally, My Trust's exterior is characterized by numerous details finished in a warm teak veneer, which gives her a level of warmth and personality that is rare on yachts of her size today. This bold decision was made by the owners despite the inevitable upkeep costs involved.

The dynamic aspect of the design is evident in the displacement steel hull, with a good deadrise and a flared bow with a fine entrance angle. The silhouette us also characterized by a sweeping line that extends from the stern to the top of the aluminium superstructure. My Trust's decks are connected into an organic whole and their length corresponds to aesthetic requirements of harmony and proportion. The prevailing colour scheme throughout the interior synthesizes the red, white and blue colours of the Dutch flag.

As fans of sailboats My Trust's owners have endowed her with elements of sail yacht décor not habitually found on motor yachts. The traditional nautical interior is classical without being old-fashioned, and provides remarkable comfort to the owners and up to 10 guests and 9 crew. Warm mahogany panels, superb bevelled joinery and whitewashed surfaces are combined to great effect in various proportions and combinations.
