Have you seen the latest Feadship F-Stream design? Feadship unveiled the 55 metre F-Stream design concept at the Monaco Boat Show in September. Potential owners and onlookers were impressed by the Studio De Voogt design. Feadship carried out market research and explored various new technologies to incorporate in a futuristic looking package. The F-stream uses the latest developments in hull design, glass construction technology and aesthetics. The hybrid propulsion package is impressive. Two dieselelectric cycloidal propulsion rudder systems offer dynamic positioning, silent cruising and efficient roll damping. In passive mode they also serve as rudders. The twin diesel-direct driven fully submerged axial water jets offer higher speeds.

The layout is considered to be what owners are asking of modern yachts. The master stateroom is located aft on the bridge deck, ensuring family privacy, and there is a spacious private sundeck. The solar paneled top deck contains another get-away area called ‘TheSnug’, and there are two water recreation zones on the low open beach deck and fold down platform amidships. You can see the exhibition stand at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (October 25 – 29, 2007).

Here are the overall specifications:

Length overall: 55.00m (180’)
Beam overall: 10.40m (34’)
Draft: 3.00m (10’)
Max speed: 20+ knots
