ALUMINIUM POWERED CATAMARAN
DESIGN CONCEPT - 2012
This project is a size-agnostic marine design conceived as a scalable platform rather than a single fixed vessel. The architecture is deliberately modular, allowing the same core language to translate seamlessly from compact tenders to high-speed superyachts without dilution of intent.
Shown here in its tender configuration, the design features a twin-outboard propulsion setup and a lightweight aluminium sheet construction. Aluminium is fundamental to the concept: it enables the vessel’s crisp, straight edges while allowing a controlled, sculpted curvature through the midship section, where the two catamaran pontoons are aggressively drawn together. This tension between sharp geometry and fluid form defines the boat’s visual identity and hydrodynamic character.
The twin-hull layout prioritises speed, stability, and efficiency in open water, with proportions and surfaces engineered to scale cleanly upward. As the platform grows, propulsion, deck architecture, and superstructure can evolve accordingly, transitioning from outboards to inboards or hybrid systems, while preserving the same unmistakable silhouette and performance-driven stance.
At every scale, the design expresses a singular intent: fast, purposeful, and uncompromising. It is not a tender that could become a yacht, nor a yacht shrunk down into a tender, but a unified design language engineered to operate credibly across the full spectrum of high-performance marine craft.
