Blade

Overview

A bold, instantly recognisable expedition concept by H2 Yacht Design — clean triangular proportions designed to stand out in a crowded anchorage, and ready to be built by Turquoise Yachts.

From the Designer

“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.”

Scope: Exterior & Interior Design

This Blade is an 83.74-metre expedition yacht concept by H2 Yacht Design, covering exterior and interior. It is a separate study from the studio's 52-metre Blade and is drawn at a much larger scale. The profile is built on clean triangular proportions intended to be recognised at a glance.

The design intent is a yacht that stands out in a crowded anchorage. Rather than relying on detail, the exterior uses a single strong geometric idea, the triangle, to give the yacht its identity. H2 describes the concept as ready to be built by Turquoise Yachts. That means the design has been developed with a specific yard's platform and capability in mind rather than as a purely speculative exercise.

The concept is designed around a length overall of 83.74 metres and a beam of 14.1 metres. These are design targets for an unbuilt concept rather than delivered figures.

The larger Blade belongs to the group of H2 expedition studies that also includes the 52-metre Blade, Barracuda Explorer and Stealth Explorer. It shows the studio's confidence in bold, simple form at scale.
