Her design is characterised by a pilot cutter-inspired hull form, incorporating a generous aft overhang that contributes to both her dynamic sailing profile and timeless appearance.Newly disclosed specifications reveal a lightship displacement target of 230 tonnes and a gross tonnage of 253. The yacht will feature a telescopic lifting keel, enabling her draft to extend from 4.5 metres to 6.9 metres, enhancing both performance under sail and access to shallower cruising grounds.Her mast will stand just below the Panamax limit at approximately 62.5 metres, supporting a sail plan totalling around 1,200 square metres. The yacht will also incorporate a square-top mainsail and slab reefing system, optimised for efficient sail handling and performance across varied wind conditions.Her deck arrangement appears clean and uncluttered, with a low-profile superstructure preserving unobstructed views and reinforcing her performance-oriented character. The deck layout has been developed to support both competitive sailing and comfortable cruising, encouraging active participation from the owner and guests.Additional information has now revealed that the interior will draw inspiration from classic sailing yachts of the 1920s and 1930s, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. A central feature of the interior will be a statement bar located in the main saloon, designed as a focal point within the yacht’s social spaces.&nbsp;“Versatile by nature, she is equally at home circumnavigating the globe in comfort or competing on the international racing stage.
