NATURE INSPIRES GOBBI TEAM

take on the Prince Shark model. This 48m Rossinavi platform

has seen three hulls launched and a fourth sold, but designer

key inspiration for the design, which features completely

new naval architecture. The aim was to evoke a fluid motion

with edgeless forms, such as the inflected overhangs that

provide shade.teamfordesign.com

R+P ARCHITECTURE

Just like its World Superyacht Award winner Gipsy, Otam’s

new 115 Custom concept measures 35.2m – but that’s where

the similarities end. The Italian yard has teamed up with

Niccolo Pasquini and Alessio Riccobaldi of the R+P

Architecture studio to create an altogether more

modern exterior design for a potential client. The

steel hull encompasses a traditional layout,

including a main deck master suite. Nifty

features abound, but the option to carry

a 7m tender on the upper deck aft is

particularly notable. otam.it
