NAUTA DESIGN_XP75
Flexibility is the key word behind the new project by Nauta Design, an Ice Class yacht designed to operate both in temperatures between -20 °C and 40°C, so she is just as at home in the Arctic as in the Caribbean. At 75 metres in length overall with a beam of 12.8 metres, the XP75 goes well beyond any other explorer project Nauta has designed to date. In-depth studies have been carried out to ensure operational efficiency and reduce fuel consumption and the yacht’s environmental impact. Special double glazing reduces heat transfer, for example, and
engine cooling water is recycled. The technical spaces have been designed to allow for diesel-electric or hybrid propulsion with batteries (space can also been set aside for methanol tanks). The exterior styling is clean and masculine. The Z-shaped fashion plates, for example, are placed exactly amidships to maintain the balance between fore and aft, while the upper deck appears to float in the air. The layout provides luxurious comfort for 12 guests and practicality for the 24 crew. The upper deck is devoted to the owner’s use. www.nautadesign.com
