Winsome Winged Boats

The Sea-Bound VEY Yacht Has the Grace and Elegance of a Scarf in the Wind

— April 19, 2013 — Autos
For many designers, the standard streamlined plan of a luxury boat often dictates the look of the deck. It's very unusual to see something like the VEY Yacht, which seems to assume a completely alien form.

JungJun Park was contemplating the way in which a neck scarf billows delicately in the wind and strove to capture that graceful shape. This was translated into a dramatic and sculptural enclosure for the hull of the magnificent motorboat.

The exquisite and sinuous form envelopes the sides of the VEY Yacht and folds together beautifully to create a stern canopy. The body of the boat beneath it mirrors this shape to produce a sloping deck with stairs, ideal for sunbathing.
Trend Themes
1. Sculptural Boat Designs - Designers are exploring more unconventional boat designs that challenge traditional streamlined shapes.
2. Wind-inspired Boat Designs - Designers are gaining inspiration from the way wind interacts with objects to create boat designs with unique forms and structures.
3. Sloping Deck Designs - Boat designers are creating sloping deck designs that allow for multiple uses on the same deck space.
Industry Implications
1. Luxury Yacht Manufacturing - Luxury yacht manufacturers can use unconventional designs, such as the VEY Yacht, to differentiate their products from standard streamlined designs.
2. Boat Design and Engineering Services - Boat design and engineering firms have the opportunity to leverage wind-inspired designs, like the VEY Yacht, to offer unique and visually-stunning boats to clients.
3. Outdoor Recreation and Leisure - Companies in the outdoor recreation and leisure industry can incorporate sloping deck designs, like the VEY Yacht, to provide versatile spaces for activities such as sunbathing and dining.
