Introducing ONO: The radical 150m superyacht concept from Aras Kazar

Aras Kazar has unveiled new renderings of his 150m superyacht concept ONO.

Yacht Designer Aras Kazar has shared his latest concept with SuperYachtTimes.com. The 42 metre superyacht is inspired by a unique species the “Piscis Volans”, also known as flying fish. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/138088/image/large-5b81adcdd12a4d958d4cb1e214e11da1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/138088">Aras says, “as with my previous yacht designs I have continued to create “earth friendly” concepts with solar panels placed as wings on both sides of the yacht. These panels can be open when the yacht is not moving, while underway they will be closed. The panels convert sunlight into enough electricity for the whole yacht”. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/138089/image/large-a6f24f59a95ae917b2b80414b21aaaae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/138089">Motor yacht Blue Peace will be built out of a combination of three materials; aluminium and wood for the hull, while the superstructure is a combination of aluminium and glass. Thanks to three 6,300hp engines, the superyacht can reach a speed of 40 knots, while cruising at 7 knots, she has a range of 1,700 nautical miles.
