Design briefing:
In May 201an emphatic enterpreneur in the food industry from Sardinia explained:
to understand how nice is Sardinia, that is where the Italians like to spend the holidays.

Inspired from a bottle of I’ve drawn the minimum requirements for a wheelchair user friendly, electirc powered yacht.

Yacht featured on Ship & Boat International – July/August 2021

That is a challenge. It should have a racing look, it shouldn’t require cranes or have any ladder, it must have a perfect visibility, pour another glass, salute!
It will have a sunroof, it will be wide-body. So I draw a preliminary profile on a paper napkin:

What didn’t show from the sketch was that it was a multihull, obviously.

The architecture of a catamaran has many advantages, to begin you can have an efficient hull while loaded with many Li-ion batteries for electric propulsion. Merit of the narrow aspect ratio. In this case they are so much narrow they are not only used for bunks, but instead to store the heavy battery packs in a cool, low position in relation to the cG (center of Gravity).

In addition, the bigger lever offered from the offset of the props adds more manouverability at dock. The large Beam also helps to reduce the rolling.
