The Formula One legend has hopes of sailing the world with a new-build <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> 885 yacht model.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294220/image/large-b5e7bbdfef37bf62a371d2c01fb6f637.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294220">The 27.4-metre sailing yacht is currently in-build at the shipyard’s Southampton-based headquarters. The sailing yacht's interior derived from the drawing boards of her UK-based builder, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a>. Showcasing a four stateroom layout, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> 885 model can accommodate up to eight guests onboard, with space for a crew of four.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294226/image/large-a8c09a5e0e146a93b2aaa6f021a6e7fe.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294226">Commenting on the collaboration, Newey stated that working closely with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> Project Manager Matthew Townsend allowed him to “exercise his engineering brain” to form design solutions to personalise the yacht. Alterations have included some re-designing of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> 885’s interior living space to meet his requirements. In addition, a folding leaf into the aft swim platform has been added, enhancing the exterior space for alfresco dining.<iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/887318824?share=copy" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe>Regarding performance, Newey was interested in moving to a more natural method of transport which drew him to the “purity of sailing”. Keen to operate a vessel that minimises generator use, Newey harnessed his design and motor racing experience to create a hard top bimini. This design feature retains the wind efficiency of the sailing yacht and features solar panels. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294233/image/large-8fa98d3fee5b7a905504e334f2fa9401.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294233">Widely regarded as one of the most successful engineers in Formula One, Newey reflected on the yacht design process: “We are tailoring an existing design, but it’s for a very different outcome,” he stated. “The beauty about motor racing is that there’s only two things that count – how quick it is and whether it’s reliable or not. Building a live-aboard sailing yacht is much more subjective in terms of the overall pleasure versus performance and usability.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/294221/image/large-93eb417aba0daec603b23c56b4c96b48.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/294221">The handover of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a> 885 is due to take place in 2024, “seeing the splash after she emerges from the build shed will be a big landmark. It’s all personal and that’s the great thing about building a boat from new,” commented Newey. Adrian Newey’s documentary marking this new-build entitled “Building My <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1097" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Oyster Yachts (Company)">Oyster</a>” is set to be released in late January 2024.&nbsp;
