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.

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.

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.

A new industry initiative has been launched by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) that focuses on the impact the yachting industry has on the world’s forests. The initiative encourages clear sustainability goals and open dialogues for more responsible solutions. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263032/image/large-9840fc3a207fde264c781f549845604d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263032">“Yachts are an extreme luxury product, but the industry is also an important sector in the innovation of new and greener solutions for the shipbuilding industry in general,” Kristian Jørgensen, technical advisor at FSC Denmark, stated. “We often see innovation in the areas of engine technology, energy efficiency, synthetic fibres, and the direct impact of different materials on the marine environment. But the time has come to pay more attention to the timber that is used.”Timber is a staple resource for the industry, whether that’s teak decking, masts and booms, or interior outfitting – you’ll be hard-pressed to find a yacht that doesn’t make use of the material in some form. The pact set out by the FSC is committed to set standards for the origin of the timber used, to help mitigate risks against negatively impacting endangered forests and the people that live there. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263015/image/large-b70e3c64fd22b16b99acf0958fc9cea6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263015">“This initiative encourages businesses to set targets which FSC, with its wide-ranging experience, supports by providing guidance and expert advice. Both in terms of the practical implementation of policies and incorporating sustainability on a wider scale than just certification,” Jørgensen continued.The FSC is encouraging the industry to choose products from sustainably managed forests to support nature, biodiversity and social development. Showing support and pledging commitment can inspire and set new standards. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263018/image/large-9f67eb9883ca83206360d40c4e5e5053.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263018"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263016/image/large-77da738437cffc581d6a2ec9c3242cff.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263016">As part of the initiative, dialogues can be held about sustainability and more responsible solutions, particularly thorny when it comes to teak. “We cannot talk about this industry without talking about the sector’s historical dependence on teak from Myanmar. Yacht decking has shown itself to be the Achilles’ heel of the industry. The use of natural teak is not just justified by the luxurious look of the timber, but by the extreme technical quality of the wood,” Jørgensen added.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263014/image/large-97788a8e4ebda5592fc5d0ecbde26ac9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263014">The FSC wishes to “push forward to find excellent, responsible alternatives…it can bring together operators and show the market what is possible”. This extends beyond builders to suppliers and too. All &nbsp;FSC-certified businesses offering materials or services to yacht building are invited to participate with a supplier’s profile on the website.“When FSC works on the development of policies in a sector, our experience shows that the best way to motivate people is by being clear about the solutions that are easy and close at hand. Everyone can do something immediately by using the existing products on offer. But we also have to identify better and longer-term solutions to the more complex problems across supply chains,” Jørgensen concluded.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/263017/image/large-675e5d0b6dd12e07fe61a0f6507ffc91.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/263017">You can read more about the initiative at <a href="http://www.yachtingforforests.com" target="_blank">www.yachtingforforests.com</a>&nbsp;
