Seaffinity SuperYacht Concept by VPLP
VPLP is the major Multihull Design Studio in Europe, they’ve been designing Tris & performance racing yachts for ages and also were responsible for Oracle’s first Deed of Gift Trimaran. (later amas updated by Morrelli & Melvin & wing by Mike Drummond).
VPLP has been launching soft wing concepts past years and now they released this new Superyacht concept. Bit bulky in our view, but one of the design goals no doubt, featuring such a large platform.
The soft wing solution proposed is known and includes a key reefing system, yet to be proven.
