Vitruvius Yachts presents design of 125m UK national flagship

FestivAI, Zaha Hadid Architects and Ocea were also involved in creating the concept.

London-based studio Vitruvius Yachts has published a rendering of the national British flagship. The project was a finalist in a competition led personally by UK Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace. FestivAI, Zaha Hadid Architects and Ocea also contributed to the concept.

The hull and superstructure of the 125-meter yacht were to be built in aluminum. The focus of the megayacht was on sustainability and sustainability principles. The flagship features a highly efficient hull, which has a drag reduction of 30 percent compared to ships of the same class.

The interior was planned to use, including recycled materials. And the very interior space of the yacht should be equipped with a “floating embassy”, adapted for receptions and dinners at the highest level.

In the aft part of the flagship there is a spacious dining room for the reception of the first persons with a choice of configurations thanks to the use of mobile partitions. The central atrium of the megayacht is equipped with displays that showcase the industrial strength of the UK in the maritime sector, as well as the "green" technologies and cultural achievements of the kingdom.

“Designing a vessel that will become a benchmark for sustainability, and showcase British excellence and heritage for present and future generations, while also being a symbol of inclusion and diversity, was a huge challenge,” said Vitruvius Yachts founder Philippe Briand.
