HIGHLANDER
Elite 57’ Sedan Motor Yacht
When approached to design this Sedan Motor Yacht, the clients had very specific ideas to be incorporated learnt from more than 20yrs boating in their present vessel.
The brief was for traditional timeless styling. Daytime living to be on one level with good flow to the aft deck/cockpit with a minimal number of steps.
Under the aft deck to have dinghy stowage in a garage and walk in lazerette. Cruise speed to be 20kts. Master stateroom to be separate from frd accommodation. The frd accommodation to have a double stateroom and bunk cabin for extended family.
To achieve this we have designed the master stateroom amid-ships full width below the saloon complete with en-suit. Frd to stb is a double stateroom for guests or family and a four-berth cabin for grand children. To port is the head and laundry.
The galley and helm station are at the frd end of the saloon with side door access to the side decks
The aft end of the saloon has dinette and lounge opening out to the aft deck via a sliding companionway door and electric drop down window.
The side decks have low bulwarks for a feeling of security and to complement the styling.
To achieve the stated performance we have chosen twin C9 Caterpillars @ 500hp on conventional shaft drives.
Fuel capacity is 3000L.
Construction is from Glass, balsa, ply composite, due to be completed in October 2008
