Sanlorenzo has revealed the first interior renderings of its in-build 35.75 metre SD118 model named Mouchka.
First showcased at the 2021 Cannes Yachting Festival, the SD118 is from the Italian yard's line of semi-displacement yachts and features a new layout, a performance-driven hull and a more contemporary style of external lines penned by Zuccon International Project.
Key exterior features include a forward outdoor living area split across two levels, with direct access to the owner’s cabin, and a restyled stern, which can be transformed into a swim platform of 19 square metres when the yacht is at anchor.
Up to 10 guests can be hosted on board alongside five members of crew.
New images show the interiors of Mouchka by designers Daniel and Michel Bismut feature a warm, neutral colour palette with marine-inspired touches. The ceiling of the main deck is characterised by a motif reminiscent of fish scales, while soft furnishings by brands including Molteni&C, Foscarini and Boffi with blue, green and turquoise accents further strengthen the connection to the sea.
"This project continues the path started with SD96 and confirms my deep interest in this range of products, composed of navettes, a term that recalls some of the most romantic aspects of sailing, linked to the desire to go to sea without haste, enjoying life on board for a long time. SD118 is therefore aimed at those shipowners who enjoy what in my opinion is the greatest luxury, namely time,” comments Bernardo Zuccon of Zuccon International Projects.
“I started from the desire to maintain some "fixed points" related to this fascinating typology of which the project is part of, and continue my research related to new concepts of living the sea. Hence my choice to apply the theme of asymmetry," he adds. The asymmetry within the design can be seen on the upper deck, where a direct view of the sea is granted from both sides of the yacht, and through the port side walkway that runs from stern to bow. Also on the bulwark, the saloon opens to form a terrace.
The yacht features a beam of 7.9 metres and has two propulsion package options. Owners can either choose a pair of MTU 10V2000M86 1380hp engines, for a top speed of 18 knots, or a pair of CAT Acert C32 1622hp engines, for a top speed of 19 knots. The SD118 will have a cruising speed of 11 knots.
The yard has stated that five units of the 290GT SD118 have already been sold, with designers such as Patricia Urquiola and Studio Liaigre working on the design.
