OYD 17

Introducing a 17-meter sports yacht designed for OYD in 2012. The core objective of this project was to push boundaries and create a vessel genuinely ahead of its time. Looking at the maritime industry in 2026, this design successfully predicted the modern aesthetic that dominates the water today. As a Yacht exterior designer, I utilized heavily faceted, automotive-inspired surfaces, a striking metallic bronze finish, and aggressive hull glazing—elements that have only recently become industry standards. This project serves as a clear testament to forward-thinking design, proving that true innovation anticipates the future of maritime architecture by more than a decade.
