50m <strong>Superyacht</strong> <strong>Concept</strong><br />
<strong>Design</strong> <strong>809</strong>, is a new 50m concept that has been created to re-define<br />
what it means to be a high performance superyacht.<br />
Farr Yacht <strong>Design</strong> and <strong>Design</strong> Unlimited have partnered together to<br />
create this high performance racer cruiser that will establish a new<br />
class in competitive sailing superyachts.<br />
Breaking records, dominating the <strong>Superyacht</strong> Racing Circuit, and<br />
comfortable Mediterranean and Caribbean cruising round out the<br />
uncompromising design brief. Cutting days from trans-ocean records<br />
and finishing hours ahead of the closet competition in superyacht day<br />
races are all easily within the capabilities of this incredible yacht.<br />
This 50m concept is pure power with a long, light hull of only 155 tons<br />
displacement, and a rig that stands 68m above the waterline. 2500<br />
square meters of sail, twin daggerboards and rudders and a telescoping/<br />
canting keel allow this yacht to easily achieve speeds into the mid-20’s<br />
in moderate winds and well above 30 knots in strong winds. Advanced<br />
and proven sail handling systems provide the necessary flexibility and<br />
safety needed to confidently achieve those high speeds.<br />

Naval Architecture<br />
Naval Architecture notes<br />
Power and light weight come from full carbon construction including super<br />
lightweight interiors.<br />
The precise control of that awesome power is provided by a telescopic/canting keel,<br />
twin daggerboards and twin rudders. This combination of design components, on a<br />
vessel totaling a mere 155 tons, results in the world’s fastest superyacht.<br />
The sleek hull owes its lineage to record breaking round-the-world racers. A reverse<br />
stem and full-length chine enhance performance and complement the aggressive<br />
style.<br />
A yacht of this size requires unique appendage systems to reach the performance<br />
goals and to function near shore and in fantastic cruising zones. A telescopic/canting<br />
keel with a draft of 7 meters is one of the key design elements. This configuration was<br />
chosen because it achieves a draft range (7 to 4.5m) with the best performance and<br />
minimal intrusion into the interior spaces. The telescopic/canting keel is a marvel<br />
of modern technology and hydraulic systems. Married with twin daggerboards and<br />
twin rudders it is the optimum solution for achieving and maintaining amazing<br />
speeds under absolute control.<br />

Exterior Styling<br />
Exterior Styling notes<br />
The exterior styling of the concept work has targeted a distinctive look to match the performance of the world’s fastest superyacht.<br />
Plain, simple surfaces let key features stand out, and are part of a styling solution that will stand the test of time. The primary<br />
elements have been formed by lifting the very fabric of the hull and deck to reveal secondary elements that are purposeful, and<br />
with a strong directional language. The hull itself rolls inboard to form wide bulwark features that accentuate the length of the<br />
boat. The bulwark width has been chosen to envelop the daggerboard/deck penetrations, and to provide comfortable hiking<br />
space for crew. The expansive teak decks have been locally lifted to reveal a cabin and window feature that gives the boat a soul.<br />
The cabin sizing has been chosen as a fairly minimal one that is still complementary of the hull’s freeboard, and with enough<br />
window to portray some aggression.<br />
A central safe guest zone is immediately positioned behind the main companionway. This area has expansive space for lounging<br />
and dining. The 3 winches, traveller/aft companionway, and helm station define a crew working zone. By extending this zone all<br />
the way outboard to the bulwark feature we create a strong link to the full cockpit race boats that are defining ‘state of the art’.<br />
Central zones are highlighted in a darker glass and wood colors that link use areas. The aft cockpit teak and dark central zone<br />
continue between sunbathing areas and over the transom to create a strong link to the sea.<br />

Interior Styling<br />
Interior Styling notes<br />
The interior arrangement and styling pairs superyacht luxury with lightweight materials, engineered to limit any noise and vibration. The result is an open and spacious interior with a<br />
particularly ergonomic design. Dark, American Walnut adds a polished finished to a softer and more casual general décor and subtly integrated LED lighting is a practical yet aesthetic<br />
addition.<br />
The main saloon, with access direct from the cockpit, features a bar, lounge space and dining area all on one level. Moving below, there’s accommodation for six within comprising a<br />
master stateroom and two guest cabins, all with en-suite facilities. The full-beam master stateroom also features a private lounge area, expansive dressing space and additional direct<br />
access to the aft deck.<br />
Forward, there’s crew accommodation for eight with a large galley opposite the cress mess, a walk-in fridge freezer and separate laundry room. The Captain and First Mate’s quarters<br />
are positioned aft, along with a navigation station, and allow for quick access direct to the deck and dual helm positions.<br />
