"FUTURE CONCEPT DESIGN CF8"

Sea Level

Future Concept CF8 (CF8 stands for Cars and Family in 80 metres)

Looking into the future there will come faster ways of travelling around the world.

Yacht design company Sea Level found this element an interesting input for a team-brainstorm session. In addition to that they had outlined an imaginary yacht owner, a progressive, sporty person that has great preference for new design, visible innovations and….he needs to be able to take his car collection on board!

The strong outer shape with strong design lines that refer to the character lines of sports cars. Unlike traditional yachts in this case hull and superstructure are inextricably linked to each other. The downward going line from the aft upper part of the hull towards the bow gives the yacht a fast and aerodynamic shape.

The curved centre volume, inspired by showroom of Louwman Exclusive Cars in the Netherlands, brings a counter posing shape ‘visually carried’ by the outer shape.

This showroom, a 5 kilometres long sound barrier along the high way, built out of glass panels, is a unique chance to accommodate a car collection that can be admired by people passing by.

The extreme width of the yacht offers great stability at sea that will give maximum comfort to the guests and crew.

CF8, a future concept design, but could be nearer than we might expect.
