Dixon designs a 70-metre yacht concept featuring an aluminium alloy superstructure

Dixon Yacht Design has reportedly designed the concept of a 70-metre yacht - Project NewDawn, in a way that it offers effortless sailing performance with the interior comfort conventionally found on motor yachts.

To offer maximum sailing potential with minimal sailing effort, the yacht has easy to operate Falcon Rigs, along with the twin rigs offering a suitable sail area to displacement ratio. The vessel built with an aluminium alloy superstructure, a high tensile steel hull, and a fixed keel with a partially ballasted centreboard would be boasting of a maximum speed of 19 knots.

The interior features many design traits, including a large, glazed sun deck saloon on the main deck that faces aft to the swimming pool, to ensure a luxurious on-board experience.

For accommodating guests, it has four well-appointed guest cabins and a full-beam owner’s cabin with balconies. Besides, it has the space to house a seven-metre limousine or seven-metre sports tender. Additionally, the yacht is equipped with an embarkation tender platform that provides direct access to the main deck lobby.

The yacht’s side windows have insulating glass that shields the interior from solar damage, while the roof structure can accommodate solar cells that have been integrated into the glass panels, adding to her eco-credentials.
