Hermes, the stylish French company is now exploring into another luxury line….yachts. The firm has teamed up with Monaco-based ship-builder Wally to create ‘WHY 58×38,’ a yacht costing not less than 90 pounds million to make. Naval architect Mauro Sculii said, “The advantage of traveling on the WHY boat is that you take your own space with you, your house, your island so you are not in a hurry to arrive, you just have the pleasure of traveling and being on board. That’s the novelty.”
The firms displayed a real size model of the 125 sq ft wide vessel in Ancona, Italy, recently. Its width is two thirds its length of 190 ft. So it looks like a yacht chipped off on its latter half. Its back has a 30 meter beach! Naval architect Mauro Sculii feels it’s strange dimensions give it stability. WHY is built on three decks, has a swimming pool on the bow, and a helipad. A salon with a cinema, a music room, a library and a dining room that opens on to the sea apart, its owner will have a 200-square-metre suite covering all of third floor and a private terrace. It can house 12 guests in five suites, 20 member crew, has three large sky lights and 300 square meters of windows. If you are an eco-conscious freak, you’ll be happy to know that the boat has a low consumption LED lighting system and solar panels on its roof and sides to cut fuel, and an in-built waste management system.
