The main saloon is framed by structural columns clad in recycled nautical sailcloth, while her dining area features a sculptural table with a gear-shaped metal base and a wood top inlaid with pressed tobacco leaves. Surrounding chairs in curved wood are detailed with bronzed accents and ivory hammered leather, creating a design that defines the yacht’s onboard character. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395274/image/large-07e95344530c0eee52e87e2688e66a4b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395274"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395268/image/large-f299ae95b83285b23c4618adf9b45a9e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395268">At the centre of the space, two custom boomerang-shaped sofas in white chenille and dove-grey leather divide the lounge from the dining area. Functional elements are built into the space, with leather pockets and hidden storage beneath the cushions and a silk and wool rug below to mimic the branching forms of a river delta.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395269/image/large-33097a9ca9e6c34c4cc32279d71d40ee.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395269"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395241/image/large-4284b0e1b10280faac39b4b151cfb27c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395241">“It was important to us that every material told a story,” added Luca Boldrini. “Nothing is purely decorative. Each texture, each finish, carries a connection to nature, travel or craftsmanship, ideas that are fundamental to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a>’s spirit.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/365043/image/large-31c7c7e917927e2c82afaf1e3d590134.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/365043">The owner’s suite of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> includes a private office. Dubbed the “madame office”, it’s a celebration of colour and individuality. Aviation blue features prominently across her &nbsp;leather desk accessories, the raffia wallpaper-lined bookcases and the detailing on the bespoke desk chair. The desk itself has been built from natural oak with hammered bronze detailing and hand-decorated bases. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395253/image/large-bb140479538c8a4506bae73017d24d93.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395253"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395254/image/large-5e793d7ef69f3518e71bbf21af8bf775.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395254">The space is framed by decorative panels embroidered with three-dimensional orchids, while the carpet below mimics the foam of waves crashing against the shore. “This room isn’t just about work,” said Muzio. “It’s a sanctuary that is elegant, feminine and energising.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395245/image/large-284ab752d07f0ad0aedb80dc91cdfcca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395245"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395243/image/large-f86c36352a28f0139a957f94c6f0d1c3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395243"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395247/image/large-b01f9c97658c14ef17097059b8255de7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395247">Further guest areas onboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> reflect the same attention to comfort and flexibility. One twin guest stateroom features a smart sliding bed system, allowing it to convert into a double room when required. Both beds are fully integrated into the interior architecture, with upholstered headboards and matching bedside tables.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395286/image/large-dd88e00906e3d7dc5f5879418c1db72c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395286"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395281/image/large-72fc08138f6fded2245fdd6e8d821c7b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395281"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395270/image/large-8bd1fa3fbdf82252566d09841b782a68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395270">Materials again take centre stage, with wallpapered ceilings, leather accents and roman blinds made from raffia interwoven with metallic threads, which catch the sunlight during the day. The custom-designed carpet, made from wool and botanical silk, continues the theme of nature-inspired texture.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395255/image/large-c01523280fe4b28a5db6c425c8580ede.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395255"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395256/image/large-fbdd6477754a5f740cacecd1a01dc54b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395256"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395273/image/large-8f0a1e7f851f1eee23463a9f44c9f0fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395273">Even the guest bathrooms have their own storyline. Here, Francesca Muzio has embraced the romance of travel with a design inspired by vintage steamer trunks, complete with &nbsp;bronze hardware, leather handles and cabinetry in warm oak and dark European maple. The washbasins are finished in Imperial Beige marble, further enhancing the refined yet &nbsp;tactile atmosphere.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395298/image/large-c4367103fda7023f8b0c6d1f6e5f9451.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395298"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395264/image/large-766f12a14112b6d835f5c5a8cef4c5e5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395264"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395280/image/large-a5c5a8bf1fa763df6378a380e7f2b4f3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395280">Beneath her refined interiors, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> remains a highly capable expedition yacht. With hybrid propulsion, a large Limo Tender and dive/exploration tender housed in an aft garage and with a transoceanic range of over 8,000 nautical miles, she’s fully equipped for long-range adventure. On deck, guests can enjoy a full teppanyaki bar and a spa pool on the sundeck, &nbsp;while a generous beach club connects them directly to the water. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395276/image/large-32d1ccd66402dc067c5800e52a820bad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395276"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/395235/image/large-e7cd60bd765d93c89ab3737d38e3e61c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/395235">“<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10946" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Akula59.4m (194'11&quot;)Rossinavi2024">Akula</a> is not defined by ruggedness alone.

59m Rossinavi superyacht Akula in Saint Lucia

The 59m explorer yacht Akula, built by Rossinavi in 2024, is seen anchored here in Saint Lucia. 

Founded in 2020, Amsterdam-based <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7420" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="the Touch Studio (Company)">the Touch Studio</a> was established by Italian designers Veronica Vergari and Timothy Baldacci, with a creative practice spanning yacht and residential design. The studio is currently involved in the interior design of two superyacht projects, the 45.1-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7552" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nolimits (Company)">Nolimits</a> <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13688" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gemini45.1m (147'12&quot;)Nolimits2026">Gemini</a> and the 47-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1080" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rossinavi (Company)">Rossinavi</a> Project Berserk 47.Speaking with SuperYacht Times, the founders reflect on the decision to establish their own studio, how they became involved in both projects, and how their approach to interior design is shaped by broader shifts within the yachting sector.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385438/image/large-6708a3a5be230b907976e8c71fbf4ea2.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385438">How did your respective paths lead you into yacht interior design?Veronica: We met in Milan while studying interior design at university, where we specialised in yacht design. From the outset, we shared an interest in how interior spaces are experienced, rather than approached purely as decorative exercises.After graduating, we moved to Amsterdam, where I gained experience across high-end residential and hospitality projects while working with a range of established design studios.Timothy: For our graduation project, Veronica and I worked in the same group and chose to develop a yacht design concept that explored both exterior and interior design. The project later gained industry visibility and marked our first experience collaborating on a yacht-related concept at an early design stage.After graduating, we both worked at Marcel Wanders Studio in Amsterdam before our professional paths diverged. I went on to focus primarily on product design, particularly furniture, while continuing to engage with exterior yacht projects in parallel. Over time, this included participation in several international competitions for emerging designers, which helped inform a more integrated approach to design, considering exterior and interior as part of a coherent whole from the earliest stages. A key step professionally was joining <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/926" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design (Company)">Sinot Yacht Architecture &amp; Design</a>, which played an important role in shaping my understanding of the yachting sector.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385433/image/large-be57e7278dcc06803e9266f4e21f4134.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385433">What prompted the decision to establish the Touch Studio?Veronica: We had long shared the ambition to establish our own studio, which we did in 2020, and were conscious of first gaining experience across different areas of design within the same broader field. Over time, it became clear that the moment felt right to take that step.From the outset, our focus has been on understanding how spaces are used and experienced by the people who inhabit them. Rather than working to a fixed stylistic language or following prevailing trends, we approach each project through the lens of the client’s requirements and the specific context of the space.Our process begins with an emphasis on use, movement and daily routines, allowing the design to develop as a coherent narrative rather than as a collection of isolated elements. Architectural decisions, furnishings and detailing are considered together, with the aim of creating interiors that feel consistent and considered throughout.Timothy: By the time we decided to establish the studio in Amsterdam in 2020, we had both spent several years building experience across different parts of the design sector in the Netherlands, which gave us a clearer sense of how we wanted to work. In practical terms, the studio initially focused more heavily on residential projects, allowing us to establish ourselves and build momentum during the first few years.&nbsp;From there, our work gradually began to shift back towards yachting, initially on smaller vessels, before moving relatively quickly into larger projects. Today, our core focus sits around the 50-metre range, slightly above and below, which has become the segment where we are most active. Early yacht interior projects helped reinforce that direction.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385434/image/large-6435cc1eb8f76167dd2ec2113cbc8c7c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385434">How did your involvement with Rossinavi come about?Timothy: Having grown up in Viareggio, I was exposed to yacht building from an early age, watching yards such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1080" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rossinavi (Company)">Rossinavi</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/473" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Overmarine Group SPA (Company)">Overmarine</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/162" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Codecasa S.p.A. (Company)">Codecasa</a> operating in and out of the port. That environment left a lasting impression, and working on projects in Viareggio today carries a particular professional significance.Veronica: Alignment played an important role. From the outset, there was a shared understanding with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1080" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rossinavi (Company)">Rossinavi</a>, both in terms of how we work and how we communicate and collaborate. Our involvement began with the yard’s <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7552" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nolimits (Company)">Nolimits</a> Collection, where we worked on the interior design framework for the semi-custom range spanning the 30-metre, 37-metre, 37+-metre, 45-metre and 45+-metre models. The 45.1-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7552" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nolimits (Company)">Nolimits</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13688" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gemini45.1m (147'12&quot;)Nolimits2026">Gemini</a> was the first vessel launched within the 45-metre line.Timothy: A few months later, this led to our involvement in the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1080" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rossinavi (Company)">Rossinavi</a> Project Berserk 47. The fully bespoke interior allowed the design to be developed closely around the client’s vision, with decisions shaped by a clearly defined brief rather than a pre-existing framework.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385435/image/large-c906b20d8442965e122f4fd5b432766e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385435">What were the key interior design priorities for&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13688" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gemini45.1m (147'12&quot;)Nolimits2026">Gemini</a>&nbsp;and Project Berserk 47?Timothy: The primary interior priority for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13688" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gemini45.1m (147'12&quot;)Nolimits2026">Gemini</a> was to create a relaxed, family-oriented environment. The brief called for a yacht that felt more like a setting for shared moments than a formal space, which informed a palette centred on natural materials and lighter tones to create a bright, open atmosphere.That restrained base provided a framework for the introduction of stronger character through art. Working closely with the client during the art selection process, colour and contrast were used to introduce identity and energy throughout the interior. These more expressive elements are layered onto the calmer background, allowing the spaces to develop a clear sense of character without becoming visually overwhelming.Veronica: What made <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/13688" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gemini45.1m (147'12&quot;)Nolimits2026">Gemini</a> particularly rewarding was the opportunity to work across the project with a consistent and integrated approach. Architectural elements, furnishings and material choices were developed together, allowing the interior to be shaped as a coherent whole rather than as a series of separate components.By designing both the spaces and the furniture pieces, a consistent design language was maintained throughout, contributing to an interior that feels balanced and clearly resolved. This alignment between architecture, furniture and materiality helped establish a sense of continuity and clarity across the yacht.Project Berserk 47 was developed closely around the client’s requirements and personal vision. From the outset, the brief drew on references associated with Zen environments and garden spaces, with an emphasis on balance, restraint and clarity in the overall composition.The interior was structured around a clear narrative, using a controlled palette of natural materials including refined wood finishes, textiles and natural stone. These elements were applied consistently to introduce warmth and depth, while maintaining a calm and composed atmosphere throughout the yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385432/image/large-4569aaacc02e91fd0672b39a64ab26de.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385432">Timothy: That philosophy informed a number of specific design decisions. One example is a bespoke hand-painted wall treatment featuring Japanese koi fish motifs, which reference the concept of yin and yang. The artwork unfolds vertically along the high-gloss blue staircase, creating a visual link between the decks and reinforcing a sense of movement through the interior.Nature was also a central theme, but approached pragmatically. Rather than introducing living plants, which can be challenging to maintain onboard, we worked with an Italian specialist to incorporate preserved botanical elements. These include Japanese-style trees housed within enclosed display structures, allowing the presence of natural references without the operational demands of a traditional onboard garden. This balance between concept and practicality reflects our broader approach to design development, where research and material solutions are used to address functional constraints.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385431/image/large-c7ad152eb7eefa4f0bc5c17c824e6433.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385431">How do you approach the interior design process on a yacht when balancing technical constraints with the expectations of owners, exterior designers and naval architects?Timothy: Interior design on yachts operates in close coordination with both the exterior designer and the naval architect. In this respect, it can be compared to residential projects, where architecture and interior design are distinct disciplines that rely on continuous dialogue. On fully custom yachts in particular, multiple design identities may be present, with the client ultimately acting as the point of convergence between them.This dynamic can be especially complex on technically driven yachts, where the underlying structure is intentionally functional. Elements such as garages, equipment storage and tender spaces introduce a distinctly operational character, while the interior brief often calls for a more refined environment. Managing that contrast is a central part of the design process.More broadly, this tension is reflected in current design tendencies. Increasingly, yacht interiors are moving towards cleaner lines, larger surfaces and a more restrained formal language. Compared with the more articulated compositions of the past, recent projects tend to prioritise clarity and continuity between structure and surface. This approach is evident in projects such as Project Berserk 47, where the relationship between architecture and interior is intentionally simplified to create a calm and coherent onboard environment. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/385429/image/large-aaefd67c239e8a845995a4a1a6aca3b5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/385429">Are there any yacht designs that you particularly admire?Timothy: One project I particularly admire is the 38.55-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1080" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rossinavi (Company)">Rossinavi</a> motor yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Taransay38.55m (126'6&quot;)Rossinavi2015">Taransay</a>. It is not necessarily aligned with our own design language, but we are often drawn to projects that carry a strong sense of history and craftsmanship. For us, looking back at how things were made, and at the level of detailing involved, is an important source of inspiration.Veronica: What I find interesting about <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5503" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Taransay38.55m (126'6&quot;)Rossinavi2015">Taransay</a> is the approach taken to her redevelopment. An existing yacht was reinterpreted using contemporary technology, while retaining a clear connection to her original character. The project demonstrates how historical context and modern design thinking can be brought together in a way that feels considered and coherent.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/26756/image/large-7ce73cca04dc177c3adc14552f88f25e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/26756">

53m Rossinavi superyacht Heed launched

A billionaire venture capitalist, a Canadian naval architect, and a British superyacht designer – this was the cast of players behind Neonemo, an avantgarde yacht concept dating back to 2008 that in terms of aesthetics and technical design is still ahead of its time.It was early summer 2008 and Canadian naval architect Pat Bray was on his way to the airport when he received an unexpected phone call from Ken Freivokh. The UK-based designer explained he was working on a new project with Tom Perkins, the owner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maltese Falcon88.0m (288'9&quot;)Perini Navi2006">Maltese Falcon</a>, who wanted to meet him. A meeting eventually took place aboard the classic motoryacht Atlantide, also owned by Perkins, in Vancouver’s Coal Harbour. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382838/image/large-950ef4f3df09792fe2a5ced8b71c9cac.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382838">“It turned out Perkins wanted to build an exploration yacht to carry his two-person submarine,” recalls Bray. “Over the next month or so and several discussions later, the various responsibilities were agreed upon and Perkins signed a design agreement with us in July 2008. Basically, we would handle the naval architecture and Ken the exterior and interior design. I remember he liked the idea that the time difference between Ken and I meant that someone would always be working on his project!”The sub in question was a winged Deep Flight Super Falcon manufactured by California-based Hawkes Ocean Technologies. Perkins bought the very first 6.7-metre Super Falcon model that could dive to a depth of 120 metres and remain underwater for about four hours on a single battery charge. &nbsp;The following September another meeting took place, this time aboard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maltese Falcon88.0m (288'9&quot;)Perini Navi2006">Maltese Falcon</a> in San Francisco. The idea was that Bray could meet the crew, including the then captain Justin Christou, to get a better idea of Perkin’s preferences and how he would use the vessel. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382837/image/large-2516572fa8b2d35851028cf7a02a07f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382837">From these meetings several key criteria for an all-aluminium vessel emerged, including massive storage space for the sub and auxiliary craft; a floating roto-dock system; a heavy-duty deck crane able to swivel though 360 degrees; a machine workshop; fixtures for a possible towing kite; controllable pitch propellers; 10 knots cruising and 16 knots top speed, as well as advanced appendages for fuel saving. The preference was to build in North America and Perkins was in talks with fellow billionaire and superyacht owner Dennis Washington, whose family holding included the commercial Seaspan shipyard in Vancouver. &nbsp;“For a while Tom kept the sub on the deck the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/385" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Maltese Falcon88.0m (288'9&quot;)Perini Navi2006">Maltese Falcon</a>, which was never designed for the purpose, so the whole concept was meant to give him the freedom to explore the world in a way that was both functional and comfortable, with the submersible taking centre stage,” says Ken Freivokh. “The design challenge was balancing function with style, ensuring that the yacht could carry all of Tom’s equipment for his adventures, while also providing the comfort and performance expected of a luxury yacht.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382843/image/large-1275f0655c57992e060960839f1427a1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382843">NeonemoBased on space planning and payloads, a vessel with an overall length of 42 metres emerged and was dubbed Neonemo. Freivokh’s exterior lines were rugged and stylish, but not overly polished and had a subtle retro twist. Penned at a time when the ‘crossover’ trend was still to emerge, they still look fresh today.&nbsp;The layout offered accommodation for 10 guests in four lower deck cabins and an owner’s suite on bridge deck. The main deck comprised the saloon, galley and crew quarters forward with direct access to the crew mess, laundry and store rooms on the deck below. An observation deck&nbsp;was included for extended visibility when navigating unknown waters. But the raison d'être for a vessel designed for adventure was the expansive main deck aft with its two hydraulic hatches that covered a large garage below for housing the submersible and a large tender that could also serve as surface support during sub ops.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382842/image/large-476fccedeccf5844f4789f7e9388aa35.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382842">Meanwhile, Bray was working on the hull form. At the time he was researching the benefits of fixed midship and stern bulbs to reduce resistance. Like a bulbous bow, these hull appendages or blisters modify the overall wave train through their own small wave and pressure patterns, and it is this interaction that can reduce the overall resistance. The consequent reductions in power and fuel consumption allow for further reduction in vessel weight. Furthermore, by influencing the wake field around the propeller, stern bulbs can improve propeller efficiency and reduce vibrations.“Being the kind of person he was, Perkins was intrigued by the science and the plan was to tank test the hull we’d developed for him,” says Bray. “Sadly, before that could happen the project was cancelled when he was diagnosed with cancer – he felt he couldn’t afford the time it would take to design and build a yacht from scratch.”Instead, Perkins converted a 37-metre Japanese fisheries vessel his carry his submersible. He embarked on several South Pacific expeditions with Dr No before selling the yacht shortly before his death in 2016.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382839/image/large-e65b60f842f857749f04fd305d3c7d1c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382839">Argo 48MBut the Neonemo story – and Bray’s research – did not stop there.

Apart from being six metres longer, the renders revealed a carbon copy of Neonemo, right down to the Deep Flight Super Falcon sub sitting on deck. In addition to the original shaft-line propulsion, a diesel-electric version was also proposed.&nbsp;“After Tom Perkins passed away, we thought the concept project should not be buried in the drawers of the design office,” said <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5048" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Scandinavian Marine (Company)">Scandinavian Marine</a>, project developer for the Argo 48M at the time. “We agreed with Ken that a reassessment of TP’s mission by growing the original project size to a 499 GT volume should better allow the realisation of some of the latest energy-friendly technologies, while keeping the operational cost of this yacht under a well-balanced canopy.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382841/image/large-5f4fe8b5bae4b744a64aa442ac4c7b0f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382841">Weirdly, no mention was made of Bray’s “energy-friendly” hull bulbs, which he had developed further through a series of research programs. The first was an in-water scale model of a 45-metre hull at the ITU Ata Nutku Ship Model Testing Laboratory in Istanbul. After the tests, Associate Professor Emin Korkut, Superintendent of the University Faculty of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, congratulated Bray on the results: “I should tell you that your hull form has been one of the best forms tested recently in our towing tank,” he wrote.This was followed up with a computational fluid dynamics program, and a third more extensive CFD program at the National Research Council of Canada’s Ocean, Coastal and River Engineering Research Centre (OCRE). The un-appendaged hull in these CFD analyses revealed 23–26 percent more resistance over a range of 12–20 knots.“That’s a difference of over 1,100 horsepower at 20 knots,” Bray points out. “This is really significant and translates into considerable fuel savings, as well as a much lower carbon footprint, flatter wave train, and lower underwater noise signature. For electric propulsion, it also means smaller electric motors and less draw on the battery system.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382840/image/large-aee8db30b30398a060bf5691e5457508.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382840">Bahamas ExplorerLast year, Bray unveiled the Bahamas Explorer, a 34.3-metre concept designed for long-range expeditions that draws on his years of research and development into fuel-saving appendages. By including a bow bulb, midship bulb, and stern bulb, the Bahamas Explorer could reduce fuel consumption by 25 percent, meaning smaller fuel tanks and engines to achieve its top speed of 18 knots and 6,000 nautical mile range at 12 knots.In the conclusion to his latest research, Bray wrote: “We feel there are numerous ship applications – including yachts – for these appendages in reducing consumption of fossil fuels and the impact of vessel wake on shorelines, as well as reducing the quantities of raw materials required to construct these more efficient and therefore lighter weight vessels.”&nbsp;Although the results of Bray’s studies have been published, it remains a mystery why no shipyard to date has picked up on his findings, which promise significant advantages using inexpensive, low-tech, low-maintenance solutions. Similarly, and sadly, one of the coolest concepts of its kind remains “buried in the drawers” of Freivokh’s design office. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/382844/image/large-51e6b80166b52b83f180f4744709f01b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/382844">This article was first published in <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-9-download" target="_blank">issue 9 of How To Build It</a>.
