Two Vessels, One Approach

The Albert Nazarov-designed TS60 motor yacht and the Tiki 38, a Polynesian-inspired sailing 'double canoe' designed by James Wharram (the first of this class to be built anywhere in the world in red cedar composite strip-planking) are both just a month or so away from being launched.

In many ways, these two vessels represent polar-opposite design philosophies – one a lightweight, minimal sailing multihull of an Asian-Pacific ethnic tradition, the other a robust, moderate displacement, single-screw, motorised monohull rooted firmly in a mid-20th century Northern European aesthetic and functionality.
But both have been constructed in close consultation with knowledgeable owners who understand the limitations of their budgets. These owners also have a realistic vision as to what can be achieved in a close collaboration with our yard, along with a practical understanding of design and marine construction. In once case, there is also a depth of sea-going experience. They have been able to communicate their requirements clearly in words and images at every stage.

If only every owner was the same!
