Design briefing:
In May 201 an emphatic enterpreneur told me:
to understand how nice is Sardinia, that is where the Italians like to spend the holidays.
Inspired from a bottle of red I’ve drawn the minimum requirements for a wheelchair user friendly, electirc powered yacht, multihull.
Yacht featured on Ship & Boat International – July/August 2021

It will have a sunroof, it will be wide-body. So I draw a preliminary profile on the famous paper napkin:
The architecture of a catamaran has many advantages: it’s an efficient hull even under heavyship displacement 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.
