Vaan R4
This sailing catamaran is designed with active sailors in mind. The minimalist design is inspired by modern sleek monohulls and racing sailing yachts. The open cockpit provides a direct connection with the water, both when sailing or at anchor. The recycled aluminium building material is exposed only in the matte aluminium 'targa roll-bar' which also provides shelter while sailing in rough weather. The floors inside and outside are at the same level which improves the connection between the active sailors outside and friends and family in the saloon.
