Nirvana

Nirvana takes advantage of a large fly bridge sailing yacht experience but has an added, particularly interesting feature:
a total draft of no more than 9 feet (3 metres). This has been achieved by developing a full-bodied hull form with
generous beam, high ballast ratio and a pivoting centreboard to take the draft to 10 metres when fully deployed.
This high aspect ratio foil gives efficient upwind performance while the combination of generous beam and high ballast
ratio gives excellent stability. A full programme of tank testing perfected the design and we see this yacht as having
particular appeal to those wishing to explore shallow coastlines and being able to anchor quite closely to a beach in the
right conditions. Nirvana has a particularly exciting visual appeal both outboard and inboard.

The interior layout was worked up between Dubois Naval Architects and the interior designer, Josep Juanpere Miret of
the architects office GCA in Barcelona. The design defines a contemporary and elegant style, according to the precious
materials and the strong care for details. Horizontal lines predominate in the furniture design, together with special
pieces made to bring attention to singular spots.

The materials are elected for their warmness and variation of tonalities and textures that create strong contrasts of light;
the ceilings are alternating surfaces covered with big slats in light striped oak and domes in light leather, the walls are
alternating dark mongoy with fabrics and leathers, the ground is a very dark oak parquet.

The most important pieces that explain the project concept are located in the main deck as it has been done in the
stairway, with its lightness and visual transparency. It is a high-tech piece, keeping an apparent simplicity.
