Pawson collaborated with renowned naval engineer Luca Brenta to design the B60 sloop with an 18-meter carbon fiber hull. The ship was built at the shipyard of the German city of Kiel.
The B60 is a day sailing racing yacht, better suited for recreation than for competition, but nevertheless with maximum maneuverability. From the formal side, its function is reflected in the emphasized streamline shape of the hull, which contrasts with the traditional sail triangle. The technical and aesthetic qualities of the sloop's exterior are combined with an elegant cabin solution.
Norman Foster and his workshop architects have created a larger vessel: their model 40 "special series" for the British company YachtPlus is 41 meters long and is now under construction in Italy. It will be possible to purchase it in September this year.
The yacht, as conceived by the creators, should be perceived not only as a luxury ship, but also as a work of modern architecture. It will have one third more open spaces and premises than in conventional ships of this class, and the boundaries between the interior and the open air will be maximally blurred due to the active use of panoramic glazing. All four decks will be exposed to sunlight, avoiding the inherent feeling of isolation in cabins.
