45M EXEO – Explorer Yacht Design
Exterior and Initial design of a 45M explorer yacht concept, to design a versatile sub 500GT explorer yacht, intended for long offshore passages and maximum comfort with a capable range of over 5000NM.
DesignNAS was involved with the initial conceptual ideas for an existing 80ft GRP platform extension, with the preferred option being a transformer-type hydraulically actuated platform. Our scope eventually evolved to the complete naval-architectural design iteration, including structural, mechanical and stability analyses.
Simultaneously, our engineering department was entrusted with the sizing, location optimization and foundation design of two new zero-speed stabilizer fins and motors.
In the absence of approved build plans and original specifications we also crried 3d-scanning and onsite measurements as part of a reverse engineering process which was critical towards allowing accurate design results.
