Yachts have often been considered status symbols of the wealthy and privileged, with their silhouettes in ports and harbours across the world standing as emblems of trade, wealth and prestige. With the future of yacht design constantly changing, every detail holds significance; and while diminishing in popularity, the figurehead of a boat once stood as a status symbol of tradition and individual expression. <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j9zpU3gPpYI?&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> Figureheads are elaborately carved sculptures mounted at the bow of a ship, holding a rich maritime tradition that extends from ships to yachts, and more recently superyachts. The tradition of figureheads on vessels spans not only centuries, but countries, appearing throughout history across the globe.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300777/image/large-5e60526862a282fa2739e1d42364de56.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300777">Some of the first recorded use of figureheads onboard vessels date back to the Ancient Egyptians from around 3100 B.C. The Ancient Egyptians are said to have carved bull and ram heads, as well as birds onto the forward-most part of a ship's bow, believing that this would make the voyage for those onboard successful, and would also appease the gods.As time progressed, the Romans of the third century would place carvings of their deities on the bows of their galleys. In addition to these divine figures, they were also known to depict centurions to symbolise bravery and strength in combat. This tradition echoes that of the Viking ships which would be adorned with dragons’ heads to ward off malevolent spirits and instil fear into the enemy. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300781/image/large-53535f2e694385e7db560f8d5842d256.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300781">The 11th century Bayeux Tapestry displays the story of William of Normandy’s conquest of England in 1066 and depicts the invading ships embellished with figureheads of lions and dragons to serve as a tangible embodiment of ancient legends and beliefs. However, by the 13th century, a new trend in figureheads had emerged in Northern Europe, with swans becoming the favoured embellishment to signify grace and mobility.By the 17th and early 18th century, the lion was once again among the most common figurehead motifs at the bow of boats, symbolising power and strength of those onboard. But it was also around this time that the use of human forms became more popular in the design of figureheads.&nbsp;By the 18th and 19th centuries, figureheads had reached the pinnacle of their artistry. Often known as the “Golden Age of Sail,” figureheads became more elaborate and ornate during this period. The use of full-length human forms, mostly of classical or mythological figures to represent the name of the vessel, was on the rise, partly due to the illiteracy of many sailors during the period.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300780/image/large-c620de517a577449b2a9ef0811a71f79.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300780">Many figureheads of this period depicted women revealing one or both breasts. Despite prevailing beliefs that having women onboard was unlucky, sailors held superstitions that a semi-naked sculpted female form could calm the storms at sea.Historically, figureheads served both practical and symbolic purposes. They were initially designed to act as a form of spiritual protection for the ship and its crew, often depicting mythological or religious figures believed to offer guidance and safeguard against maritime perils.The figureheads of today however, have transitioned from their traditional role as symbols of protection, to more of an aesthetic and artistic expression of wealth. A number of modern superyacht owners have commissioned bespoke figureheads that reflect their personal tastes, themes, or even serve as a nod to the vessel's name. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300776/image/large-928bbb31498cac72b1b05b369ff1d0e6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300776">A prime example of this is the 92.92-metre sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/669" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="EOS92.92m (304'10&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2006">EOS</a>.

Whether evoking a sense of nostalgia for maritime traditions, or pushing the boundaries of contemporary art, figureheads continue to play a role in shaping the identity of yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300775/image/large-60f09810263ccad48c9f7eb669aab8cb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300775">In 2010, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a> launched the 90.02-metre superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1677" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix 290.02m (295'4&quot;)Lürssen Yachts2010">Phoenix 2</a>, which displays a five-tonne eagle figurehead on her bow.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ 127-metre Oceanco superyacht Koru features an impressive carved wooden figurehead which has been drawing the attention of the world's press for months.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/300912/image/large-d3dc67eb6601eacdbf497c473fdafc88.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/300912"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7500" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Koru127.0m (416'8&quot;)Oceanco2023">Koru</a> is the second largest sailing yacht in the world and the largest yacht built by the Netherlands-based shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/64" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oceanco (Company)">Oceanco</a>. Her name derives from the Māori fern-leaf motif, which is a symbol of creation and new beginnings to the native people of New Zealand.When she was launched, online news publications noted how the curvaceous winged figurehead at the bow of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7500" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Koru127.0m (416'8&quot;)Oceanco2023">Koru</a> bore a striking resemblance to Bezos’ fiancé, Lauren Sanchez. The figurehead is dressed in a flowing gown with long hair, which many believed was modelled on the former TV personality. However, in an interview with Vogue magazine last year,Sanchez set the record straight about the design, “I’m very flattered, but it’s not, [me].” <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UHLink2jPLY?&amp;wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe> The polished female figurehead of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7500" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Koru127.0m (416'8&quot;)Oceanco2023">Koru</a> is instead based on one of Jeff Bezos’ favourite mythological figures, Freyja. The Norse goddess of love, fertility, war, and gold also features a spiral shape necklace, with an unfurling silver fern frond, which signifies creation and perpetual movement.From their origins in ancient civilisations to their modern-day interpretations, figureheads continue to symbolise power, grace, and individuality and shape the identity of yachts. Despite the ever-changing seas of yacht design, figureheads still stand as a reminder of the timeless allure of the ocean and the creativity of the owners onboard.

The hull is built of cold-moulded Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, and carbon fibre, over a male building jig.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/297029/image/large-f90843e4f9e12dd6271ad9ed5a3cff57.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/297029">Project Ouzel features exterior design and naval architecture by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/566" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Langan Design Associates, Inc.

In addition to the technical achievement, it is the first time we all see the yacht right-side-up and outside—as there isn’t much room left inside the building to stand back and appreciate her scale and lines. She has given us all a stunning first impression.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/297030/image/large-5307a6fad13d8de730899b65ed6e4b3b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/297030">The next step in the yacht's construction is to prepare the inside of the hull for the composite structural grid that will transmit the keel loads into the hull.

The launch is scheduled for the summer of 2025.
