Ricky Smith of Ricky Smith Design has unveiled its latest 80m ERA yacht concept with an innovative hull shape designed by S.F.M. Naval Architects (Stuart Friezer Marine Naval Architects) based in Denmark. This hull shape was designed to reduce resistance and produce both speed as well as optimum stability when desired and needed. ERA boasts a design pedigree closely associated with 2 Hales Transatlantic speed records.

The one-of-a-kind fit out method applied to complete the interior of the 192 foot “Ulysses” explorer superyacht in just 10 months has been reapplied to allow this modern and elegant interior to be completed offsite and installed quickly allowing handover to the owners. This method allows large areas of the interior to be pre-finished and ready to install in parallel timing with the fabrication stage.
