Damon Jones, Marketing Director for New Zealand Yachts is all set to please his clients by introducing a new concept that will allow prospective buyers to view every perspective of their latest 50meter design. For this amazing task, he has hired the boy-wonder from down-under, Richard Elliott, whose company Urban Voyage specializes in bringing concepts to virtual life with advanced 3D modeling techniques, along with an exciting new tool that enables end-users to view every perspective of a design. He will help to bring life to their latest design, a 50-meter multihull that promises to be quite a stunner. Beyond the obvious advantages of fuel efficiency, space, and stability, the S50 comes into her own with a 22-knot cruise speed, topping out at an estimated 26 knots. As with any wave-piercing design, directional stability at speed is excellent, deceleration forces from wave impact are minimal, vibration and sound are well insulated, wake signatures are low and stability at rest is supreme.
To get a grasp on the many dimensions that make up a design, Urban Voyage has introduced “yachtVIEU”, a pdf based file viewer that allows users to rotate the image on any axis, changing perspective with the swipe of a mouse. With over 1300 square meters of living space, this yacht promises to become the largest luxury wave piercer to date. Some of the features of this yacht include private indoor and outdoor dining areas, a large cinema room, private owners deck with pool, a spacious multi purpose sun deck, and many more such features that are sure to make this yacht the ultimate in luxury travel.
