With superyacht Inouï, the Owners aimed to create an extremely elegant, exciting sailing yacht with a very strong personality. In addition, they wanted to equal the comfort of the previous yacht while enhancing the performance.

Inouï yacht is the fourth carbon composite superyacht built at Vitters Shipyard. Hull and superstructure are fully carbon composite, constructed at Vitters sister company Green Marine in the UK. Due to the trapezium shaped bulwark and the desire to avoid a break line in the paintwork, Vitters decided to make the mould in two pieces with the cut line just under the water line. This new way of constructing ensures top quality laminate, strong connection and a smooth finish of the hull.

The Vitters team developed an advanced power and hydraulic system to ensure maximum capacity and usability of the winches and cylinders when racing, while also catering for a long quiet period of 8 hours during night-time.

When building a superyacht in carbon, the weight goal is paramount. The whole team had this focus imprinted in every decision taken, whether it was deck gear or interior. As a result, Vitters delivered Inouï 3% under full load displacement target weight. And as one can expect of a superyacht, there were no compromises on comfort levels and advanced materials were used to comply with stringent noise and vibration levels.

Naval architect Philippe Briand combined style and design features of the most beautiful sailing yachts that have existed over the past 70 years into a truly timeless design. The extraordinary and luxurious interior by Andrew Winch Designs offers a seamless transition from the exterior technical and leisure areas.
