The brief for yacht SANS started as a major refit project for a well known racing yacht on the west coast of the States. Much attention has been paid to reduce unnecessary weight while retaining the large sail plan and performance of the core boat.

Sans yacht features three separate cabins and ensuite heads within the carbon hull. Extensive use of opening polycarbonate panels along the coach roof ensures bright and airy spaces. Hydraulics control all sail handling, the hidden anchor system, and a folding stern beach concealing the tender storage.
