“Sleek and chic” ONE leaves the yard at Kaag

by Feadship 3 Nov 22:49 PST

The 75.75-metre, four-deck Feadship ONE features a number of elegant design and layout solutions aimed at optimising her appeal and functionality both for private use and as a charter vessel.

Offering luxury and comfort in equal measure, Studio De Voogt penned the gracefully simple exterior lines. The interior design is by Paris-based Gilles & Boissier, known for their work on New York's Baccarat Hotel.

"The brief was for a masculine design that was also timeless and elegant," says Thijs Orth, designer at Studio De Voogt. "The predominantly straight lines and bold forms are combined with subtly nuanced surfaces that catch the light and make the whole yacht interesting to look at. As always, we collaborated very closely with the engineers to make sure everything worked as it should."

By way of example, Orth points out the chamfered edge to the bulwark in the bow that gradually flattens out as the sheer line moves aft. The same chamfer is repeated at the leading edge of the widebody windows on main deck and along the white-painted superstructure.

"To soften the predominantly horizontal lines and add a more sensual feel we also added quite a pronounced tumblehome when viewed from the stern," says Orth. "This curvature is continued on the sides of the sundeck roof."

Facing forward on main deck is a lavish full-beam VIP stateroom with a private lounge and an integrated balcony that can be enjoyed while under way - a retreat within the retreat. The expansive suite can comfortably function as a second master stateroom when chartering.

The master stateroom on the deck above has access to terrace with a large Jacuzzi and adaptable lounge area. The raised foredeck can serve as a touch and go helipad, while there is room in the garage below for a 9.50-metre limo tender, crew tender and a variety of water toys.

There is a large pool on the main deck aft and a hot tub on the sundeck aft. The bridge deck includes an aft-facing gym with wrap-around glazing and opening glass doors on three sides. The diagonal teak decking is a first for Feadship that adds visual interest.

Eschewing the trend for a terraced main deck aft, the transom is of a more traditional design with graceful, sweeping staircases either side that lead down to an exceptionally vast swim platform with an integrated swim stair. Two inward-folding transom doors access the beach club, illuminated by sunlight due to the glass bottom of the pool.

With versatile accommodation for twelve guests in a master stateroom, VIP suite and four double staterooms on the lower deck, as well as eighteen crew members, ONE is powered by twin MTU main engines with conventional shafts and propellers for a top speed of over 15 knots and a range of 5,000 nautical miles at 12 knots.

"We had a lot of fun designing this yacht," concludes Orth. "Masculine elegance is not an easy look to achieve, but ONE is robust yet sleek and chic at the same time."
