Rob Doyle Design and Van Geest Design have teamed up to produce this Domus concept. The Ball Marine team are taken by the design style, functionality and environmental aspects of this concept.
The 40 metre sailing catamaran concept boasts zero-emissions – not bad for a yacht weighing over 750 gross tonnes.
With speed, space and eco-conscious cruising as the guiding catalysts for this new design it will heel at an angle of just two degrees, making it a very comfortable cruiser. The Domas also offers 783 square metres of interior space to be enjoyed.
“The uniquely designed combination of solar power, hydro-regeneration technology and hydrogen fuel cells gives Domus unlimited range with zero emissions,” the design team said.
“An optimised system of solar power and battery storage allows the yacht to motor during daylight hours and then transfer over to the battery system at night. This also means that Domus is fully silent with zero emissions while at anchor.”
Offering six guest cabins, with four VIPs and two sizeable owner’s suites each equipped with their own lounge area. The Domas also includes a gym, bar, cinema room, and pool and spa area.
Rob Doyle and Van Geest Design have done extensive research into the safety elements associated with trimarans. “We strongly believe if you want the benefits of multihulls at a 40-metre-plus size the only practical solution is a trimaran," said the design team.
“Just because superyachts are what they are now, does not mean they should stay this way. We were constantly looking at every aspect of the design and saying, 'is there a better way'? We truly believe that this project will redefine what a multi-hull sailing superyacht can be."
