Sailing yacht Infiniti 100S represents a new luxury vessel, introduced by Danish Yachts and Infiniti Yachts. Delivering the ultimate in terms of speed, comfort, safety, performance and handling, as well as an unprecedented level of interior finish in a sailing yacht of this size, the latest high performance 100-foot superyacht Infiniti 100S incorporates the patented Dynamic Stability Systems (DSS) technology by Hugh Welbourn.

The History
The core DNA of each Infiniti yacht stems from its use of Dynamic Stability Systems, a patented and licensed system invented by the naval architect for Infiniti Yachts, Hugh Welbourn. DSS delivers better stability and increased comfort through less pitching and a reduced heel angle, along with a reduced displacement that both provide a significantly faster boatspeed throughout the wind range. DSS powered yachts have already proven themselves on the race course and in delivering unmatched performance and comfort.
Infiniti Yachts was created in order to bring a new genre of yacht to the market place that fully benefitted from DSS. However, in order to ensure that each Infiniti yacht was built to the standards required, a shipyard with sufficient technical know-how and with a vision for the future of the industry was required. Thus, Danish Yachts became the partner for the construction and development of the Infiniti range, ensuring that each Infiniti is delivered on time and to the highest possible industry standard.

The Here and Now
To achieve the level of perfection that the team has strived for, it has been an ongoing design and engineering project, with the Gurit structural engineers involved throughout, and then backing up each and every finding with tank testing and data. Then this has all been thoroughly analysed down to the smallest detail, be it weight saving in the specification to ensure performance, or maximising the performance and handling with the systems experts. All this without compromising the level of comfort in the interior accommodation.
Both Danish Yachts and Infiniti Yachts have been working in co-operation over the last 6 months with Welbourn Design to finalise this exciting new project and the synergies between the companies are extensive. Infiniti and Danish Yachts are both world leaders in terms of design and construction, using the very latest technologies, build materials and know-how.

The interior of Infiniti 100S yacht is being designed by Design Unlimited who is a leading studio in the design of interiors for superyachts.
“The purposeful, curvaceous lines that resonate on the exterior of the yacht are carried through into the interior. While retaining the modern, hi-tech feel Design Unlimited have adapted the exterior themes to create a calm and welcoming environment within that is ideal for relaxation and socialising. The taut and sweeping forms introduced in the coachroof and cockpit draw the eye in one continuous flow through the saloon forwards to the guest accommodation and ultimately to the master suite in the bow.”

The Future
With this totally unique and fresh approach from the parties involved in this project, the 100S is setting a new benchmark in superyacht design, which is not only fast, but also has an appeal for an owner wanting a truly distinctive and exquisitely finished sailing yacht – both the interior and the exterior have been looked at from completely new angles and the end result will undoubtedly reflect the highest possible build standards for which Danish Yachts is renowned.
Infiniti 100S Yacht - Saloon Forward
Following months of collaboration on extensive design work and specification, backed up with accurate weight calculations, the 100S yacht has gone through a full programme of tank testing and data analysis. Additionally this research has been fully proven on the water with the production of two smaller 36’ sisterships, both of which are about to race at the 2013 Palma Vela Regatta. Using state of the art carbon technology with structural engineering by Gurit, weight calculations for the 100S come in at an astonishing displacement of around 33,000kg – yet with a fully furbished interior and very spacious and luxurious master suite.

The interior of luxury yacht 100S includes a unique design emulating Scandinavian principles of harnessing the usage of light, design and functionality. Layered to this will be ultimate luxury for a boat of this kind.
With the first Infiniti 100S yacht due to sail later in 2014, plans are already well underway. The end result of the 100S will be a boat that not only exceeds expectations in terms of high performance luxury cruising, but also demonstrates a design that embraces safety and stability.
