Every yacht is a combination of elements, some of which
are simply mechanical and required to perform a given task. Other artistic
elements, though created to a vision, must conform functionally to provide
thoughtful comfort and livability.
"The engineering could be executed as a cold, mechanical
element, but because the yacht is a luxury object its engineering becomes
functional design art," says Y702’s designer Dan Lenard.| Click on the Spec tab at top to see complete list of resources. |
Aboard Y702 no defined line is evident between the engineering
and the design’s function of luxurious livability. Lenard says it was the close
collaboration between the designers and the yard that effectively blurred the
line between these elements.

"The usual division of night and day areas has been
reconsidered, and since yachts are all about new experiences, Y702’s interior
flow has been revised from what is expected," Lenard says. Dining possibilities exist on the aft decks: the aft main deck,
near the pool and the inside/outside dining area on the upper deck. The formal
indoor dining area was placed forward of the vertical lobby, far from the aft
dining areas, but conveniently next to the main pantry. With a bulwark that
opens to become flush with the deck, effectively extending the view to infinity,
it is more than just an emergency indoor dining choice when outside weather
threatens. Layout and flow are logical. The metalwork is seemingly
uncomplicated yet effective, delivering compound shapes where required while
making concessions for systems access. A guest’s path would follow this
unexpected main-deck flow: beach on the water; pool, pool bar and dining area,
aft-deck lounge, indoor/outdoor cabana lounge, main-deck salon; lobby, formal
dining area, informal morning/evening salon; and finally, guest quarters. The
machine that is the yacht is smoothly integrated within and around this flow,
making the engineering an integral part of the design.
