It was developed by Italian boatbuilders Fincantieri and Dutch firm Van Geest Designs to 'disappear between water and sky' and 'blend into the horizon'. Designer Pieter Van Geest said it had taken a year to develop the blueprints and would take another three and a half years to construct. 2 Likes

Here are my observations: 1. The sharp diagonal edges of this yacht are a tell-tale sign that it comes equipped with stealth capabilities (a reduced heat signature on a radar monitor). This is good for a military vessel but a huge disadvantage for a civilian one as neighbouring ships should know exactly what type & size it is to avoid a catastrophe. 2. The glass body that renders it almost invisible at 50 metres is also bad for a vessel that will house civilians. Most large ships take over 50 metres to come to a full stop so in the event of a potential collision, it will be nearly impossible to prevent disaster as the captain might not see this yacht on time to avert it. NB: Most large ships take around 5 miles to stop = about 15 minutes @ a speed of 33 knots. Add this to the reduced radar signature I stated earlier (which might reduce this ship's size to a fishing boat's on a monitor), this yacht might just be a disaster waiting to happen. Take the deadly collision of US destroyer USS McCain (with all its advanced equipments & systems) & that Singaporean oil tanker earlier this year as an example. 15 Likes 4 Shares |
