Lloyd Werft and Ulstein Design Solutions (UDS) have partnered up for a new 71m X-Bow superyacht project, dubbed CX124. 

Introducing the 71m X-Bow superyacht project CX124

Making use of its signature X-Bow design, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6245" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ulstein Design & Solutions AS (Company)">Ulstein Group</a> has released a new series of yacht design concepts including the <a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/x-bow-yacht-design" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">CX126</a> and the 55-metre yacht CX128.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186934/image/large-3ec8b7ed2c5a71eab0aeebdb0337fc88.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186934">Designed by the designers of the 88.51-metre X-Bow explorer yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Olivia O88.51m (290'5&quot;)Ulstein Verft AS2020">Olivia O</a>, the CX128 features a similar nature-inspired inverted-bow shape. This design intends to split wave energy, making the yacht cruise more smoothly and perform more efficiently. This technology has been previously used on more than 100 vessels, but has been recently adopted by the yachting industry because of its ergonomic shape.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186933/image/large-d41d6fdc904a924569e978f65b22465e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186933">On board the 1,380 GT yacht, up to 12 guests and 15 crew can be accommodated. Sporting large outdoor lounge areas, a spacious beach club, and ample storage space for an array of toys and tenders the CX128 strikes a balance between relaxation and playfulness.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186931/image/large-0fe43013facf792b70620d7d55290072.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186931"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186924/image/large-1505f4f2c2b096cc27b8e18fc3afc5f6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186924"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186937/image/large-a27b2aa4f7f998c6492bc0233a4b6c64.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186937"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/187020/image/large-69ded5718ff284ba84ef41d16017351a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/187020">While the design itself inherently increases energy efficiency, further green initiatives can be added at the discretion of the owner to further reduce the ecological footprint of the CX128.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186936/image/large-2e6aee1fe4b47a4818c4f7fc56f2b8ab.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186936">&nbsp;

The Ulstein Group’s latest design concepts feature a unique inverted-bow design, as the industry’s latest bid towards how to save energy.

New energy-efficient 55m yacht concept inspired by Olivia O

The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6245" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ulstein Design & Solutions AS (Company)">Ulstein Group</a> has released a new series of yacht design concepts, the X-Bow series, that includes the 97.8-metre yacht CX126.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186919/image/large-b4f50c1148135564d7d0abba2a954875.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186919">Central to the series and the CX126, is the group’s original X-Bow design seen on the 2020-delivered 88.51-metre yacht, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6031" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Olivia O88.51m (290'5&quot;)Ulstein Verft AS2020">Olivia O</a>. The inverted-bow, other than its unique aesthetic, serves to split the wave distribution thus decreasing impact and vibrations compared to a traditional bow shape.The nature-inspired shape has several functional purposes such as improved power efficiency, increased comfort and reduced slamming. Previously used on more than 100 vessels, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6245" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ulstein Design & Solutions AS (Company)">Ulstein</a>’s technology has only recently been adopted to the superyacht market.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186917/image/large-659e681c187ca6b70ba922dd2dfef78b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186917">Designed to explore and handle a breadth of conditions, the CX126 makes use of the X-Bow design. The large, 5,100 GT yacht can accommodate as many as 36 guests across luxury accommodation, 36 crew members and a full range of toys. To enhance the guest experience, her exterior will be equipped with large, comfortable lounge areas – including a viewing lounge in the bow – &nbsp;and an aft helicopter landing area.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/187020/image/large-69ded5718ff284ba84ef41d16017351a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/187020">In addition to the eco-friendly benefits provided by the X-Bow, the CX126 can be designed to include further green initiatives, allowing her guests to explore some of the world’s most undisturbed natural areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/186920/image/large-a58f081351ff5d8a480a3be41f2de5b5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/186920">
