Malcolm McKeon has done it again with this design for a 78m mega sloop that is also the largest yacht ever commissioned from his studio.
This very futuristic design grew out of input from an owner that wanted a 360-degree view from the cockpit and a craft that would give him maximum contact with the sea.
Designed for cruising with a lifting keel and square top mainsail, it will also feature a fully automated sailing system. The master suite under the cockpit is astonishing, offering 150 sqm of space including a saloon and private dining room as well as private access to the aft beach area.
There are also four two-berth staterooms and quarters for 14 crew. The flush foredeck has opening sections that either fold away or lower to reveal a sunken and fully protected 30 sqm cockpit with glass screens that can be raised or retracted.
