Dunes is the twelfth concept design and it takes a big leap toward Feadship’s goal of Net-Zero superyachts. This concept showcases how intelligent exterior design can significantly – and passively – reduce a superyacht’s energy needs, and at the same time capture wind and solar energy almost invisibly. The flowing lines from Studio De Voogt, who was inspired by the shapes sculpted by the forces of nature; drifting snow, water and sand. Noticing how sand dunes are timeless, yet ever changing gave the designers new ideas about line, flow and adaptability.

Designed in collaboration with Botin Partners, a team renowned for America's Cup success and multiple championships, the wallyrocket51 is poised to be the world's fastest race boat.
