Lightweight cruising interior and general consulting from Nauta Design. New generation of ultra-fast ClubSwan 80 racer launched on 23 June in La Spezia. Nauta coordinated initial research on concept designs. Fifth incarnation of My Song for long-standing client of 35 years. First collaboration between Nauta and Nautor\u2019s Swan<\/span><\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Nauta Design has been at the leading edge of a four-year project that ended on 23 June with the proud launch of the first ever ClubSwan 80 racer. As well as kickstarting a new one-design class, the rocket ship is the fifth incarnation of Pier Luigi Loro Piana\u2019s famous My Song<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

It marks 35 years of collaboration between Nauta Design and this dedicated owner. But it is the first time that Nauta and Nautor\u2019s Swan have worked together. The Finnish boat builder coordinated the project with Juan Kouyoumdjian on the naval architecture, Nauta for the interior and cockpit design and Persico Marine as build partner<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

Exposed carbon fibre, wafer-thin mahogany veneer and artful lighting will turn the first ClubSwan 80 yacht into a super stylish cruiser<\/b>. The brief for Milan\u2019s Nauta Design studio was to give a thoroughbred one-design racer a second character as daysailer and a super sporty cruiser.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

It was a fascinating project from the off, with the client intent on establishing the best approach for an 80ft racing monohull.\u00a0 The final choice went for a canting keel and a forward rotating canard that would provide the best compromise between performance and usability<\/b>. This evolved into the ClubSwan 80 one design, where the goal is to recruit further owners to develop a competitive racing circuit.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cThe priority was speed, performance and fun, but the owner always likes to be able to use the yacht for a cruise with the family or with friends as well,\u201d<\/i> explained Nauta co-founder Mario Pedol. \u201cHe wanted to have good performance upwind as well as downwind – a rocket in both directions. After all, the first round the upwind mark has the advantage.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>

Once the key design features had been established, Persico Marine was selected to build the high-tech carbon fibre hull and structures, cleverly engineered by Pure Design & Engineering<\/b>. The second stage of the challenge for Nauta was to design an interior<\/b> for this first yacht which took nothing away from the purity of the racing experience, while adding some welcome finesse and comfort for cruising with the family.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWe turned technology into elegance, thanks to Pigi\u2019s inputs \u2013 inside it is all carbon,\u201d<\/i> says Pedol. \u201cWe worked in the base comforts for permitting cruising use of the boat: fridge, galley, some sort of aircon and showers.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
