French designer Julien Anglade, has come up with a hybrid yacht concept harking back to the golden days of luxury ocean cruises.<\/p>\n
The 150-metre IKKAR accommodates 50 passengers in ultimate luxury <\/strong>along with a crew of 60 to look after them.<\/p>\n the hybrid yacht is capable of changing its shape according to the location as well as comfort of the passengers. <\/p>\n The sides of the hull then gradually fall back when the vessel is at low speed. Each suite faces the sea and has a large private terrace.<\/p>\n A mainsail made of rigid photovoltaic cells contributes to the power for the boat and under certain sun and wind conditions can handle most of the propulsion.<\/p>\n The main deck and superstructure are designed in homage to the architecture of Frank Gehry and and Norman Foster<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Everything is clean and open to minimize the barrier between man and sea and maximize views of the constantly changing horizon; for instance, the railings are translucent.<\/p>\n The infinity pool located forward features an elevated walk giving the impression that one is floating on the water.<\/p>\n Via James List <\/strong>\u2013 Luxury marketplace<\/em><\/p>\n
When in port or at anchor offshore, the sides of the hull open at the waterline nearly the entire length of the craft to create a massive, malleable entertaining space.<\/p>\n
