This $86 Million Superyacht Concept that can ‘Fly’
From floating ‘diamonds’ to roaming volcanoes, an array of eclectic and innovative superyacht concepts has been emerging in recent months, and this latest invention from Lazzarini Design Studio is no exception.
Powered by a hydrofoil system, the 74-meter-long vessel, known as Plectrum, can lift itself above the water surface and seemingly “fly” at high speeds.
According to the team at the Italian studio, the design was largely inspired by the foiling monohulls used in the America’s Cup, one of the oldest international sailing yacht competitions.
Hydrofoil system
But rather than being pushed by the wind like a sailing yacht, this huge shiny orange vessel will run on three hydrogen-powered motors with the ability to reach 5,000 horsepower each.
While foiling technology dates back many years, its popularity has recently grown, particularly due to the America’s Cup.
However, building a hydrofoil of this size would undoubtedly be a hugely significant achievement.
Although the design is just a concept, the designers say it could be constructed within two years at a cost of around $87 million (€80 million) if a buyer is found.
Eyecatching design
“We like to remember that in 1964, shipbuilding was already capable of similar vessel construction,” the designers say in a statement.
The foil system can apparently be adjusted depending on the “cruising needs” at the time, expanding from a width of 15 meters when the yacht is berthed/anchored and the foil is closed to up to 20 meters of beam when open while the yacht is sailing on high speed.
This “different superyacht configuration” will allow “much faster sea traveling than conventional similar size ships,” adds the Lazzarin team.
Made from a mixture of dry carbon fiber composite materials, the light superyacht has been “designed to be the fastest of its kind,” and will have the ability to reach a top speed of 75 knots.
As for onboard amenities, the yacht will be equipped with six guest cabins, a shipowner suite, a helipad and a beach club with a swimming pool over its four levels.

MEDIUM GUITAR PICK THICKNESS: ✅Medium guitar picks range in thicknesses from 0.55 and 1 mm. The following is what a survey performed in March 2021 has shown. Thousands of guitarists were asked to define the following pick thicknesses: 1️⃣ The maximum thickness of a thin guitar pick 2️⃣ The minimum thickness of a thick guitar pick With both limits established, we obtain the thickness definition of medium guitar picks. - The maximum thickness of a thin guitar pick was defined as about 0.55 mm by 2.292 guitarists. - The minimum thickness of a thick guitar pick was defined as 1 mm by 1.308 guitarists. #rombopicks #guitarpick #plectrum #guitarpicks #acousticguitar #riffwars #music #Egitarre #guitarlife #pickupjazz #guitargear #吉他 #ギターピック #エレキギター #アコースティックギター#slideguitar #soundofguitars #instaguitars #highonguitar #guitarbeginner #gitarrespielen #guitarpractice #guitarphotography #plektren (at Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cge4FW4MhIG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

No luck with catching plectrums or drumsticks during gigs so I bought that one. I've been into j-rock and visual kei for so long. I attended many concerts though not as many as I wanted. I hope I'll be able to see and hear more bands. I'm so happy all those Japanese artists came to my country and gave such wonderful shows. I still have their photos, posters, autographs and some merchandise gadgets. I've even written some reviews of the shows. Music is truly something that connects people regardless age, nationality, faith, etc.
