SYD is proud to announce the release of the first issue of SuperyachtDesign for 2011, Q5. The perfect start to the New Year, this quarter’s issue is designed to inspire, featuring unique superyacht concepts, luxury products, hard-hitting debates, in-depth interviews and ground-breaking materials.

A major theme running through Q5 is the comparison between car design and yacht design. In Case Study, editor Justin Ratcliffe talks to Chris Bangle, the controversial former head of design at BMW, about art, design, cars and yachts, while the Design Debate asks leading designers from both the car and the yacht industry what we can learn from each other and whether it is right or desirable that yachts resemble automobiles. Showing that car design and boat design often integrate best in tender design, Focal Point looks at Vikal’s first tenders for Coral Island, and in Focus Extra, designer Chris Lyall from RIB-X tells us why they only employ designers from the automotive field.

Meanwhile, this quarter’s Space looks at the art of dining on a superyacht, exploring the changing use of space, galley design, wine storage and the considerations needed to create functional, luxurious and enjoyable dining areas. Q5’s Materialist is dedicated to the world of composites, taking you through a host of synthetic composite products that reflect a more contemporary interpretation of luxury.

From examining SOLAS regulations or looking at crew space design, Ed Dubois, Peter Hülsemann, Danny Keeven and Tommaso Spadolni offer thoughtful Guest Suites on industry-related issues close to their hearts. And of course, there are plenty of new concepts, from the likes of Rainsford Mann Design, Porsche Design, Gian Paolo Nari and Feadship, to name a few, as well as event summaries, cutting-edge products, the Owner’s Brief, Tech Talk and Perspectives, where this quarter SYD takes a look at a variety of technical sketches from designers like Adam Lay, Jon Bannenberg and Jonathon Rhoades.
