Barracuda Yacht Design revealed their new 36,5m (120’) sailing yacht concept at last week’s Monaco Yacht Show (MYS). The well known Asian shipyard, Kingship, requested the 36,5m Barracuda fly-bridge superyacht design for an experienced owner, searching for an orderly and ‘un-pretentious’ deck-house cruising yacht of high interior volume.
Representing Kingship’s first serious move towards the construction of a large sailing yacht, Barracuda Yacht Design were proud to be involved.
The emphasis is for safe and relaxed cruising; with guests free to enjoy expansive and un-cluttered deck areas, including a large aft-deck lounge, wide side decks and a simplified foredeck.
From its raised position, the fly-bridge will afford guests an extra degree of privacy and the yacht’s sailing controls, dining and sun-bathing areas are also located here.
The deck house is a bright and airy space with a sliding partition that opens and closes to enable guests to enjoy full or partial interaction with the bridge room itself. Guests sitting at the lounge or dining table will be able to enjoy wonderful all-round views, either when the yacht is at anchor, or when moored in an attractive harbour location.
Down below a largely symmetrical interior accommodation layout lends itself to more cost-effective costs for new-build and easier repair and maintenance thereafter.
Rather than gloomy corridors, the ‘architectural’ style continues via a central lobby which provides convenient access from the aft-deck or deckhouse down to four large and luxuriously appointed guest cabins and a day head.
While purely cruising speeds are the primary intention here, a nonetheless generous 730m² sail area (main plus genoa), including a self-tacking inner jib, large genoa and gennaker matched with an easily driven hull, high-aspect balanced rudder and lifting centreboard will combine together to give still rapid progress if required.
