Drawn in 60 minutes: The SDS Design Challenge 2017

Team captain: Peder Eidsgaard

Team members: Marnix J Hoekstra, Kenneth Nyfelt, Claudio Zimarino, Richard Gibeaud, Jud Velde, Jens Weishaupt

Type of vessel: Monohull LDL

Dimensions: 100m x 17m

Max speed: 18 knots

Look and feel: The yacht is a hull with a floating pod on top — a gimballing master bedroom was placed two thirds aft on the semi-raised lower deck, with a large circular porthole in the centre. From this suite a private lift would take the owner to his panorama suite two decks up, with walk-around decks and 360 degree views.

Unique details: Aft deck garden, swimming pool that converts into a tender garage, 100 per cent CO2 and NO2 free. Exhausts would not be necessary owing to the conversion of solid carbon, so in place of a traditional exhaust stack would be a mast up front with navigation equipment.

Team captain: Lorenzo Argento

Team members: Casper Marelis, Michael Breman, Marijana Radovic, Franco Romani

Type of vessel: Semi-submersible trimaran

Dimensions: 75m x 17m

Max speed: 27 knots in whisper mode

Look and feel: A modern day Thunderbird.

Unique details: The forward part above the water is all glass. Two helicoidal lifts, one fore and one aft, access the night quarters, which are underwater so they are completely quiet and so the client doesn’t get seasick. Powered by Cupium, a new energy source discovered on the moon. A two-person torpedo-like submarine can be shot out of the lower hulls.
