MTT-Shield: Nobiskrug and Messerschmitt Yacht Design unveil new 79m superyacht concept

Award-winning French yacht designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/53" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Philippe Briand Ltd. (Company)">Philippe Briand</a> has unveiled the first renderings of his new 60-metre sailing yacht concept Kaze. Inspired by the Japanese word for wind, Kaze harnesses wind power for her propulsion to create a hybrid sailing yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261397/image/large-f1bd2456822632f67a925c01142b670f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261397">The ketch yacht, Kaze is able to accommodate different sailing programs with three different versions of rigs available, ranging from classic to the highest tech. Her design allows her to combine modern technology with timeless principles, alongside a Panamax rig design for easy access under the Bridge of the Americas on the Panama Canal.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261375/image/large-58f9f56f0a0f0badfab3c6fd6ce13657.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261375">“There are so many good reasons to choose ketch rig over that of a towering sloop,” said Briand. “While we can design and engineer large sloops to cope with the massive rig loads, they still make unwieldy and intimidating boats to sail. Where’s the pleasure, the joy, the accessibility? If you want a yacht to be comfortable for living and sailing, it makes sense to start from a ketch design, for a 499 GT." <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261376/image/large-0f2865d9d3be337dacdbfb1050086406.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261376">Kaze features a bespoke interior that embodies the needs and desires of the owner, by Italy-based design studio <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4308" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="FM Architettura (Company)">FM Architettura</a>. “When I imagined and designed the interiors of Kaze, I wanted to achieve an ideal purity and a &nbsp;connection to nature, without taking away the feeling of being on a sailing boat and nowhere else,” explained Francesca Muzio of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4308" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="FM Architettura (Company)">FM Architettura</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261380/image/large-55d2cdbdc981145d99127be8e2cbb316.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261380">“I wanted the aura of sportiness whilst also creating a comfortable and snug environment. A space where the owner and guests can feel at home and not be afraid to use it. As well as, a space for relaxing and admiring the beautiful views.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261394/image/large-15ad4c480fa17bf800ec37dd7cdb6b35.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261394">The 499 GT sailing yacht has a large focus on luxurious living, with her interior design displaying elements of a motor yacht, with the additional feature of being close to the sea. Kaze features a wide aft beam to provide stability and allow for a large beach club.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261401/image/large-60d59ea2809129d2fdd291690194a885.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261401"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261400/image/large-89f20a908c614f658321b25bce34778f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261400"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261381/image/large-6b7323a5b17b75dd1662f4552696edfd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261381">“We wanted to create a fluid connection between areas,” commented <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4308" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="FM Architettura (Company)">FM Architettura</a>. “The main saloon, the veranda and the aft open area become one beautiful living space that gives fluidity and creates a seamless succession of indoor and outdoor spaces giving an airy and light feeling to the whole vessel. The mast is also surrounded by glass and creates a magical view on the sails.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261399/image/large-81464eb048447df6befc2c602cb4af50.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261399"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261379/image/large-0e5896ca86232dc5f837d053d3cac144.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261379">Kaze boasts a 68 square-metre sundeck with a swimming pool aft, and foldable wings to expand her exterior space.

The carbon fibre used to build the masts has been inserted into her bespoke furniture, both indoor and outdoor while her large windows can also be lowered to allow for a natural breeze while onboard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261386/image/large-712c0a6f2dbe51de5fdad1bf35d4e699.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261386">Kaze uses the wind as her main propulsion source, allowing guests to cruise in tranquillity with the sound of the ocean against the yacht. The use of wind, even for her batteries, provides a quieter atmosphere, powered entirely by nature and helps to build on the philosophy of a greener future.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261388/image/large-bf164b52b403106637d3c3da6d661e69.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261388">Kaze is already beyond the concept stage, with technical input from a range of key experts including <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2447" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Southern Spars (Company)">Southern Spars</a> on the specifications for the three rig options.

The innovative trimaran concept features a wave-piercing hull with inspiration taken from the original Star Trek USS Enterprise starship.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261497/image/large-a194af772f8d5166bcec31d1aa6cc7fd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261497">Enterprise was designed in full by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6867" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="M51 Concepts (Company)">M51 Concepts</a> after designer Anthony Glasson spent time onboard the 84.04-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4342" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Echo Yachts (Company)">Echo</a> superyacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3575" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="White Rabbit61.4m (201'5&quot;)North West Bay Yachts Pty Ltd2005">White Rabbit</a>.

The gap between these two spaces is further bridged by her forward lounge that opens up onto the outdoor deck area with alfresco dining and a hot tub.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261493/image/large-8d98bb2073ccf57b3c80babf832340d2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261493">Enterprise offers accommodation for up to 12 guests in eight suites comprising of a large full-beam owners’ stateroom and seven remaining guest staterooms offering a flexible accommodation layout.Read: <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/56543" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Introducing Swell: The 77m superyacht concept with a jellyfish aquarium (2022-12-09 13:45:00 +0100)">Introducing Swell: The 77m superyacht concept with a jellyfish aquarium<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261487/image/large-d608493dded210c74152307cc5ab7c45.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261487"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261495/image/large-49fdde0ad3d13575c880151dd2c496ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261495"></a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261492/image/large-d3deee90c2bd473185e132822d1d5c76.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261492">Some of the key features onboard Enterprise include her aft courtyard with a full gym and day lounge with a glass partition for a climate-controlled environment and 180 degree views.

This space can be configured to suit the owner’s requirements with the option of a helicopter hanger or tender garage. There is also easy access for toys and tenders with large aft facing doors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261484/image/large-24ed7308be09a50f9cd3f20772492623.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261484">The central hull of Enterprise will be used for guest and crew accommodation while the outer hulls are designed for shop machinery.

Domus Cat uses the skydeck as the prime structure for the crossbeams to allow for an increased area structure.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261291/image/large-2905d1f88a2e6def5b9ba38b1e7925fc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261291">As a result of these changes, Domus Cat has a larger beam than most catamarans and also opens up a huge space for her owners and guests. The increased beam also equates to more interior volume and deck space, with her main deck on one level with a large aft deck and two side balconies.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261292/image/large-d2d76f570e6fcc63febdd6cae8261682.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261292">Her interior is divided into key areas, with a cinema lounge and dining area connected to her two VIP staterooms. An internal wheelhouse is located on the centreline with access to the spacious deck above, while stairs provide access to the accommodations in the hulls.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261293/image/large-17bb65b82e4c66781aaf9526878181c7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261293">The portside hull houses her crew, with 44 square-metres of accommodation, storage, and crew services. The starboard side hull is home to additional guest staterooms, services, and technical storage areas.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261289/image/large-1850797bae4c532ad9df9f1527ddf287.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261289">The upper deck of Domus Cat features outboard shaped helm station and seating areas, as well as a forward deckhouse with a Jacuzzi and plenty of space for guests to relax.

Domus Cat is designed to sail at very low heel angles and is designed with solar power, hydro regeneration, and fuel cells, which her designers say creates an ‘unlimited range’ with ‘zero emissions.’<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261287/image/large-75b539f1fbb2f879669cb498b86d9fd4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261287">An optimised system of solar power and battery storage, allows Domus Cat to cruise during daylight hours and then transfer over to her battery system at night.

Tommaso Spadolini (Company)">Tommaso Spadolini</a> has unveiled the first renderings for a new 48.5-metre superyacht concept. The motor yacht was designed with a specific owner in mind who was looking for a more spacious design from his current 35-metre yacht.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260720/image/large-2e9f6b915b88c880e8684f344ab2c08d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260720">The strictly displacement hull measures 48.5-metres in overall length, which becomes 46-metres at the waterline. Her hull will be built from steel, while her superstructure will be made of aluminium, with an overall GT of approximately 490 tons.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260722/image/large-ad92f30fb7bdee1f933f4bca4c394d66.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260722">“The hypothetical profile of this 48-metre yacht is a ‘classic trending to modern’ style,” commented designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Arch. Tommaso Spadolini (Company)">Tommaso Spadolini</a>. “We were expressly asked for a semi-vertical bow and other specific choices such as large free areas in her flybridge. The relationship with the water is therefore mainly experienced through the large aft swim platform and its comfortable and inviting access to the sea.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260718/image/large-0ff1a58fb8b29d9b60a500d43c0bbc18.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260718">The owner requested a larger yacht around 50-metres that would allow them to better enjoy their large family during the summer holidays and had some very specific requests for her design. “There had to be large windows, the owner's suite had to be located on the main deck towards the bow, with the four guest and four crew cabins on the lower deck, and the captain's quarters had to be on the upper deck,” explained designer <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Arch.

She also has another 7-metre saloon on her upper deck. “Obviously, at this stage we haven't considered any furniture arrangements,” continued <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/118" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Studio Arch.

Additional exterior features showcase a larger pool aft for guests to use; this will sit above the deep bathing platform, which dramatically extends when the two bulwarks are folded down, creating twin balconies just above the sea. This has been likened to a private beach resort by the Turkish shipyard and is a notable revelation.&nbsp;Internally, the interior space will feature a unique owner’s suite with a private patio cocooning the owner's exclusive deck, which is highlighted as “the pearl of these yachts, particularly onboard the 42-metre and 50-metre” , says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4304" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Vallebona (Company)">Luca Vallebona.</a> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260643/image/large-7e2f3e63d9eb7c2cf86c86d2cb0a183d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260643">This private space expanding the owner’s suite will be adorned with soothing plants and receives natural light from above and from the side.

Verticality is a dimension that is not so often seen on a yacht, especially in a 50m.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260645/image/large-5c6390ea683bea27211c61e5b8fc3fbd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260645">With an understanding that younger owners are more enthusiastic about water sports, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4910" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sirena Yachts (Company)">Sirena Yachts</a> has designed an impressive storage space for a large tender and toys.

The innovative motor yacht is characterised by her curved linear profile and use of sustainable materials throughout.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260226/image/large-f0b66d9e24a8c456f931a8f195390c9a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260226">Named after the Greek god of the wind, Aeolus features exterior design by Giles Taylor with naval architecture from the boards of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5009" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lateral Naval Architects (Company)">Lateral Naval Architects</a>. “She is inspired by the spirit of the ocean,” commented designer Giles Taylor. “I wanted to bring together the ability to walk around the entire superstructure while still taking in the vistas of the ocean and staying connected with the sea.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260232/image/large-b7de23ca124a32f3ac8bd07b7b3311f6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260232">The hull of Aelous showcases two dynamic, forward-oriented buttresses that provide an opening onto the sea. Her three distinct, glass-clad, layered decks and open hull design also bring her guests closer to the waterline.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260229/image/large-ba009a74d0b36c92c260e9b1e63e5203.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260229">Aeolus is designed to be a ‘home away from home,” with a private owner’s oasis on her top deck, delivering the best views and acting as a sanctuary on the water. “Aeolus’s design sculpture is harmonious and borne of the function and flow envisaged for her future owner. Her curves do not make her overly feminine because there is a masculine quality to her bold, forthright architecture. Apart from the deck surfaces themselves, not one surface is flat or brutally geometric, which provides a unique aesthetic that sets Aeolus apart,” added Giles Taylor.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260233/image/large-1c479b9790926e0b3f510d8958a6496c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260233">The master suite features unobstructed views, a stunning sunken bath and a private seating nook for quiet contemplation.

The design process's versatile nature means the stateroom position can be changed to the wheelhouse. The owner’s suite features a conjoining spacious bathroom that boasts a classical yet contemporary style, completing the fully functional owner’s suite, that mirrors a home away from home. Other highlights include a luxurious his-and-hers dressing area offering ample storage space. Adorning the space further are floor-to-ceiling windows which enhance the inside-outside connection to create a feeling of openness. The opulence overflows onto the exterior forward deck, where a private sitting area for sunbathing and a large Jacuzzi complete the owner’s suite concept and fulfilment for privacy. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259957/image/large-050fb3182c1186fad23b07894f1b02a3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259957"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259955/image/large-838f73a48461f1efc74196979ebe85af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259955"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259954/image/large-4ca65c0de89e6f4b005d42846c3d3a0e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259954">At the core of the BEACH superyacht series is the ethos for outdoor living and alfresco dining, conveyed through the Beach Club design situated on the lower deck to serve as a multi-purpose space. With direct access to the exterior aft, the beach deck is comprised of an infinity pool, sunbeds, and loungers, and the main deck lounge is a versatile playground and hub for socialising. This space epitomises the ethos of life onboard, where post-water sport relaxation, waterfront workouts, beauty treatments, and lazy sundowners can all be relished.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259947/image/large-3d838281ac43d5d8cce6aee5294a998f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259947"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259946/image/large-135d138094e5f4fdf9dc2a62c20a3a69.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259946"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259948/image/large-7142a7b84c2d5c36569069beef85ef15.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259948">The exterior design of the BEACH series boasts clear lines and a sculptural hull, representing the modern aesthetics favoured in this yacht concept series. The balustrades have been designed to be transparent to cultivate an all-encompassing connection with the outdoor landscape. The large exterior decks culminate in the aft deck beach, with an embedded infinity pool comprised of descending steps that guide to the water's edge. The beam-wide swim platform offers access to the water and acts as a mooring spot for private limo tenders and water toys. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259940/image/large-bddcaac50382832729818f48af82ae2f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259940"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/259942/image/large-d93fe35852ec428d8c633331f87c10a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/259942">

In all classes, the leaders of Day 2 held their own to clinch overall victory on the final race day.“The wind and sea state was definitely at the upper end for some boats, and certainly for the Race Committee making decisions,” said Race Chairman Peter Craig. “Typically, we sail around the island on Sunday, but we made a decision to keep the boats in the lee of St. Barths for the larger part of today’s race with a course option that was newly added to the Bucket this year.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262059/image/large-752263cd59cbb776f083830aeaf328c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262059"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/262060/image/large-e591bf54e38666089bf3a4465ed2aa27.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/262060"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/72" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nakupenda33.24m (109'1&quot;)Royal Denship A/S2005">Nakupenda</a> won the six-boat Mademoiselles to take overall victory in that class with a 4-1-1 score line. “I’m over the top about it,” said <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/72" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nakupenda33.24m (109'1&quot;)Royal Denship A/S2005">Nakupenda</a>’s owner/driver Steve Rowland, explaining that this is his fourth Bucket with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/72" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Nakupenda33.24m (109'1&quot;)Royal Denship A/S2005">Nakupenda</a> and his first class win, not to mention overall victory, which is decided by a number of factors including performance and time differentials. “We were in a three-way tie going into today with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7754" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bequia27.61m (90'7&quot;)Brooklin Boat Yard 2009">Bequia</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5558" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Action37.3m (122'5&quot;)Royal Huisman Shipyard BV2015">Action</a>, so we knew we had to beat both of them.
