A futuristic trimaran yacht designed by London-based architect Dr Margot Krasojevic will operate 100 per cent self-sufficiently with power generated by solar panels on the wingsail and cost an estimated £9-£10million.
The Fresnel Hydrofoil Trimaran, set for construction starting April this year, has been designed for
Holden Manz wine estate in Franschoek, South Africa.
Dr Krasojevic, who splits her time between London, Beijing and Belgrade, says the clients are racing fans, but will also use the yacht for cruising.
The boat’s most striking feature is a carbon fibre sail frame that curves around to form part of the hull, with a retractable Kevlar sail. The wing sail features solar panels that collect the sun’s rays, helped by fresnel lens and holographic film on the outrigger that project further rays on the panels.
