116' Pilot Classic
This stunning yacht was initially designed for an experienced yachtsman but has yet to actually be built. With a long waterline and moderate stern overhang, lifting keel and carbon spars package she will be a powerful vessel. With guest and owners' cabins aft and the crew area forward, the design is well balanced and can be tailored to your individual requirements. The hull is to be built in 5383 aluminium and features a lifting keel that expands the draught from 3.4 to 5 metres, with the lifting mechanism below the floorboards in the interior. This unique system was developed by our office and has already been successfully fitted in a number of other yachts. Her deck layout has a forward deckhouse with dining area and navigation station, while the aft deckhouse incorporates the owner's stateroom. The aft cockpit is designed to give privacy for the owners and incorporates a sunbathing zone and small dining area. The centre cockpit features dual helm stations as well as an outside dining area. The yacht is designed with a cutter rig for cruising and a masthead sloop rig with removable inner forestay and overlapping genoas for racing. Her performance has been extensively optimised with velocity prediction software.
