Poyraz 18
[ Wind and balance ]

An 18-metre sailing yacht where form is first the organisation of balance between rig loads and living comfort.
Form here is a direct organisation of the balance between rig loads and living comfort. The deck plan separates working vectors — winches, tracks, lines — from lounging zones.
Below, the low headroom is treated not as a constraint but as the character of a refuge, focused on the sea through a continuous horizontal window band.
The hull was developed in four steps: base volume, form development, structure and layout, final model.
