Exterior Design by: Espen Oeino

The enjoyment of open air living ‘is taken to a new level by this winner’, according to the judges. Her combination of weight control, high performance and overall elegance impressed the panel. This elegance and comfort was achieved with a saloon that fully opens overhead, large windows and excellent deck areas. The yacht was built to very strict weight limits, but Espen Øino used carbon fibre composites to create a hull able to stand the speed required.
