Gianmarco Cardia?s latest project is a breathtaking yacht concept is centered around the use of Dyna Rig sails, the 80m S/Y Vela. Dyna Rigs are a rare find and there aren?t many yachts like them with the exception of Oceanco?s 106.7m Black Pearl, or Peri Navi?s 88m Maltese Falcon. On Vela, Dyna Rig sails have a dual purpose: part of them can be also used as a screen, or for an outdoor cinema (as you do).
Cardia aims to create an indoor-outdoor experience by way of electric glass doors that optimize the movement between exterior deck space and interior living space. The upper-deck lounge comes with a piano bar and an additional cinema. The interior of the yacht comes with four guest cabins and 1 master room, a wellness area with a gym, plus a lovely spa and a beach club, with a bar and big lounges for relaxing in the sun. The yacht is 80 meters long, with a 14.3-meter beam and it could easily accommodate up to 10 guests and also has eight en-suite cabins for a crew of 16.
?When I designed the exterior, I [wanted] to make something simple,? says Cardia. ?I imagined the body of Vela molded by the wind?without sharp edges?and characterized by flowing lines. I think that the terraces on the rear part of the upper deck are the best areas to spend time on board?you can enjoy a beautiful panorama while dining alfresco just near the upper-deck lounge.?
Vela boasts no less than 1,850 square meters of sail, a 14.30m beam, and been equipped with hybrid propulsion to reduce poll...
