Poyraz 18

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.
