F.O. Design

Italian design studio F.O. Design, lead by Manlio Formentini, has developed a new 36.50 metre superyacht design focused on offering long range cruising possibilities with the benefit of running off a fuel efficient and eco-friendly power plant.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155749/image/large-1865f269f430cb3aedf21fa01a5c37b5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155749">The vessel is to be constructed using lightweight aluminium revealing a fully loaded weight of only 180 tons. This, combined with a long waterline length, allows the four Siemens electric motors to have the yacht cruise in a zero emissions mode at 13 knots. Power to the motors will be supplied directly by the generators, with the option of relying on battery power during maneuvering in marinas.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155750/image/large-e9cf2136cb909913e1989106f1c9d72f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155750">The beamy FX 360’s exterior decks have been kept simplistic in layout terms, focusing on having uninterrupted views instead of an over-presentation of deck features. The wide flush foredeck will safely be able to accommodate helicopter landings and can easily be transformed into a open relaxing area when not in use.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/155751/image/large-29ab530099cd0946a6282b0603db872c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/155751">High-tech bridge navigation will come as standard to suit her explorer title, with impressive long-distance cruising figures including a range of 4000nm at 12 knots, 30,000 liters fuel capacity and 6000 liters of fresh water.By Charl van Rooy
