YACHTS & YACHTING 45 include features like an expanded private lounge , with a smaller outdoor deck area . The most significant change is observed on the owner ’ s deck , where the superstructure has been extended aft to create a palatial owner ’ s suite . A private lounge has also been added , providing access to the owner ’ s private exterior pool .
Where there any other changes to the exterior ? Did you develop the GA as well ( as in Tatiana ), or was that H2 ? I was responsible for developing the general arrangement ( GA ) of Leona .
What about hull 3 , will she be a identical ? The third hull of the 80m 263 series , named Project Silence , is expected to offer a larger volume compared to its predecessor , Tatiana , with a 25 % increase in both interior and exterior areas . As the third hull of the 263 series , she presents several technical improvements , an optimized hull , and an increased volume . In terms of exterior modifications , it ’ s worth mentioning that the hull features large windows , particularly on the owner ’ s deck , providing ample natural light and stunning views . The wheelhouse has been designed to offer excellent visibility . Furthermore , we expanded the shaded areas on the main deck to enhance comfort . On a positive note , the third hull boasts a larger sky lounge towards the aft section , providing an expansive and inviting space for relaxation and entertainment .
With regards to the third hull , we implemented a complete overhaul of the superstructure , introducing a brand-new design . Notably , the VIP cabins and main saloon now feature full-height windows , allowing for an abundance of natural light and fostering a serene and cozy atmosphere inside . Moreover , there have been adjustments made to the cabin configuration . On the main deck , we have retained two VIP cabins , similar to Leona , while the lower deck now boasts three guest cabins , resembling a feature found in Tatiana . In summary , the superstructure of the third hull stands out due to its larger size and distinct design , setting it apart from the previous iterations .
Moreover , an exciting feature in the gym area is the inclusion of shell doors that open , providing guests with access to terraces overlooking the sea . This innovative design element allows for a unique and immersive experience , seamlessly connecting the gym space with the surrounding natural environment .
The technical improvements include an optimized hull , a new ventilation system ,
increased generator capacity , and an enhanced SCR system connected to the main engines and generators for ecofriendliness and compliance with IMO TIER III standards . Also , she has a different layout than her predecessors . Owner deck is located above the main deck for more privacy and the wheel house is on the top deck for better bridge visibility . The magnificent change is on the staircase located in the center of the hull and the large , round lift connecting the decks from bottom to top .
