Blade
“Sometimes you feel like clearing your mind and shaking up the rule book and Blade is the result! This is not a concept . She is boldly modern and can be built by Turquoise yachts tomorrow.
My idea was to create as clean and simple a shape that would be instantly recognisable anchored in a crowded bay. But with her triangular proportioned superstructure sitting upon the long Blade like bow, I think she would be easy to spot.
Whilst the superstructure is simple in shape there is a tension to it created by sharp crease lines that add reflection to the surfacing.
I also focussed on the outdoor living spaces. Firstly, the transom area. Gone is the usual hull door and dark beach club, instead a dramatically cantilevered pool hangs above a sheltered open deck creating a chill out zone below night or day. Secondly, on the sundeck I designed a semi enclosed arrangement with a lounge aft for observation or private partying and space for sheltered dining inside or out.”
