The fast-cruising sloop is designed in equal parts for &#8220;exceptional comfort&#8221; and &#8220;exhilarating speed&#8221;, with the foundation of its projected performance (18 knots) lying in its advanced hull platform.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/10-3-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13584\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/10-3-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/10-3-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/10-3-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/10-3-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/10-3-1568x882.webp 1568w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/10-3.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The yacht would be built using a carbon-fibre composite sandwich construction, incorporating either a foam or balsa core. Similar solutions can be found on Wally&#8217;s Y3K sailer and the 53.9-metre Ravenger by Baltic Yachts, with this construction method crucial for achieving maximum structural rigidity while maintaining an ultra-lightweight profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rigging will be equally advanced, comprised of a high modulus carbon mast and &#8220;state-of-the-art&#8221; 3Di sails by North Sails.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/7-2-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13580\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/7-2-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/7-2-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/7-2-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/7-2-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/7-2-1568x882.webp 1568w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/7-2.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Exterior design is clean and pared-back, with simple, gentle curved lines and natural teak finishes. Living spaces will be similarly styled, incorporating lightweight composite panels, honeycomb-structured materials and lightened fine woods for weight management. The carbon-fibre theme will also be continued in Project Tavolara&#8217;s &#8220;aesthetic detailing&#8221; for a contemporary, high-tech interior atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the technical side, Project Tavolara has been tailored with owner autonomy in mind. Electric or hydraulic winches will allow for semi-automated sail handling, complemented by integrated home automation such as remote control lighting, climate systems and electronics.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8-3-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13582\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8-3-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8-3-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8-3-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8-3-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8-3-1568x882.webp 1568w, https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/8-3.webp 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our vision is to create a harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology, aerodynamic efficiency and sophisticated elegance,&#8221; explained the studio. &#8220;We are channeling our expertise into every detail, ensuring Project Tavolara will not only be a triumph of engineering but also a floating masterpiece that redefines the sailing experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Italian studio made waves earlier this week with an update on its hydrogen-powered superyacht design, developed under the codename ONYX H2-B0 85.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian studio MASK Architects has released a 30.5-metre sailing yacht concept called Project Tavolara. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":13584,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13579","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13579"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13579\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13586,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13579\/revisions\/13586"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13584"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13579"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boatshowchina.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
