Moonen Shipyards’ latest contract is a departure for a shipyard known for its
family cruisers. The updated-classic 114-foot research vessel was designed by
Rene van der Velden with naval architecture by Stolk Marimecs and Moonen’s
in-house team. An explorer yacht both in style and practicality, she features a
seakindly hull – reinforced to receive Lloyd’s Register Ice Classification –
with a pronounced forward sheer and bold spray chine topped by a utilitarian
aluminum superstructure.
The design reflects its owners’ preference for
outdoor living. Lacking a helm station, the top deck is reserved solely for
entertaining. The bridge deck’s footprint is kept relatively short in order to
create a spacious aft deck under the top-deck overhang. In addition, the
superstructure is not carried to maximum beam, allowing room for full
walkarounds on both the main and bridge decks.
The tri-deck motor yacht has
four guest staterooms, an on-deck master suite, two salons and a large aft
tender garage. She is slated for a spring 2006 delivery.
