A True Performance Yacht Designed by the Dream Team
Combining the naval architecture excellence of Farr Yacht Design, the
leading edge design of Studio Suppanen and our 25 years of experience in
building high quality blue-water Performance Yachts is an exciting prospect
for us at Finngulf. We are sharing this process on the blog you are reading.
After deliberation and a number of serious discussions with some of the best
designers in the industry, we chose to follow a new path for us in terms of
the design process used to develop our new yacht. Farr Yacht Design was one
of the obvious choices after we had decided to go back to our roots and once
again create a serious Performance Yacht. After meeting the design team in
Annapolis I really felt that they understood the brief.
"Design a very fast
Performance Yacht, one that is clearly faster in all conditions than the
current models, whilst retaining the classic lines and without compromising
handling and comfort below deck."
A tough brief for sure, but enlisting the
help of award winning designer Ilkka Suppanen really enabled proper planning
of ergonomics and tweaking the interior still maintaining comfort and
usability of the yacht. Please return to see more images of the boats in
build starting November 1st.
