| Holland Jachtbouw 121 |  |
Two columns clad in dark brown woven leather define the
entrance to the forward passageway and the guest cabins. Something of a feature
has been made of this area, which opens out around the polished black carbon
fiber mast, with its vertical stainless steel handrails and subtle LED lighting
by LightGraphix. The two simply furnished guest cabins feature pear set against
Majilite linen bulkheads and deckhead coverings. The twin berths appear to
"float," but they actually contain capacious drawers underneath, and the
starboard guest cabin has an additional Pullman berth. The plain white bathrooms
are contrasted with gold-veined black portoro oro marble vanity tops and
detailing in the showers. The cylindrical showers themselves are ingeniously
designed with top-hung, glass sliding doors in a guttered marble recess that
is flush with the wengé floors.

The forward master suite sports wide twin berths with a
dressing area separated by a cantilevered vanity table on a full-height mirrored
bulkhead. Faraday UK specially treated this mirror so that at the flick of a
switch the TV screen behind, which is otherwise perfectly invisible, can be
seen through the mirror. The twin bathrooms that share the same cylindrical
shower stall are divided by a limousine-style LCD glass screen that can turn
from clear glass to opaque white. The owner also commissioned Dixon to come up with carbon-fiber
pedestals and seating for the twin helm stations. The large monitors weigh
nearly 30 pounds each, but the cantilevered construction provides fingertip
control. Built in-house by Holland Jachtbouw, they sum up what this modern yacht
is all about: lightweight construction, clean-cut styling and practical design
solutions.
