Tetrahedron Super Yacht

Tetrahedron Super Yacht design is instigated by the re-thinking of the form, superstructure and propulsion of the modern super-yacht into a radically simple enclosure and an elevated mode of travel above the waterline.

The superstructure form is reduced to the absolute geometry of a Tetrahedron.

In geometry, a tetrahedron (plural: tetrahedra or tetrahedrons), also known as a triangular pyramid, is a polyhedron composed of four triangular faces, six straight edges, and four vertex corners.

The tetrahedron is the simplest of all the ordinary convex polyhedra and the only one that has fewer than 5 faces.

A three-based pyramid consisting of 4 faces and 6 leading edges provides fundamental stability and enclosure.

Tetrahedron Super Yacht form produces a pure, precise, logical and mathematical ‘roof’ from which to connect to the hull assembly.

Generally, simple forms are not known in ship and motor yacht construction through restrictions in ocean-going hull design.
