The Irish Rob Doyle Design and Pieter Van Geest they developed Domus, a 40-meter sailing trimaran that has an interior volume almost equivalent to that of a 60-meter motor yacht.
The goal of such an innovative concept? To become the first ultra-modern boat over 750 gross tons with zero emissions.
A technological mix for a dream boat
“The mix of solar energy, hydroelectric regeneration technology and hydrogen fuel cells allows Domus to travel indefinitely without emissions,” say the designers.
An optimized solar and battery storage system ensures that the trimaran operates both day and night, efficiently and without emissions. Highly respected credentials, which also go hand in hand with performance.
A respectable trimaran
Beyond the impressive design, Domus was also designed with performance in mind. In order to minimize aerodynamic drag and increase speed, the trimaran will be able to swerve at an angle of two degrees: this factor leads to a minimum roll that will allow for a pleasant cruise.
The internal surface of the boat is 783 square meters divided over two decks. There are six guest cabins in total, four VIP cabins and two huge master suites, each with their own lounge space. Internal services? Ultra luxurious. They include a cinema room, a gym and a lounge with bar, with one gem: a wellness area with swimming pool.
A "domus" on the waves
The word Domus indicates a typical one-story Roman house built around an atrium. This trimaran takes aspects of this design literally to create a unique environment on board. I find it a good future prospect also for products related to super luxury.
Just because i superyacht they are what they are now, it doesn't mean they have to stay that way. Projects like this one will also redefine the boundaries of this type of dream boat.
