Foundations

To avoid visual overload for what is a complex set of controls, the foundations are purely functional and minimal. Limited amount of colours and typography sizes keep this interface to the point and usable.

Pilothouse Helm

The pilothouse is made up of 8 large touchscreens. Each screen can be customised to show any of the predesigned interface at suit the captain's needs.

Gauges

Design of the gauges is minimal and purely functional, just like many styling elements of the yacht. At a glance the captain can notice any abnormal gauge values when the bars deviate from their absolute centre position.

Exterior & Interior Controls

All of the exterior controls like anchor deployment and navigation lights and interior controls like bilge pumps and mood lighting can be controlled directly from the helm controls.

Sundeck Helm

The captain also has access to the same functionality of the pilothouse at the sundeck on a single smaller screen. The individual screens are minimised in a bottom navigation bar.
