Foundations

There are a lot of variables to usability in yachts like speed of travel during operation, weather, distance from physical screen and sea swell. The typography and colours are carefully chosen to focus the user on specific parts of the interface and provide legibile text and large touch areas for increased usability whilst at sea.

Helm

The yacht features a dual GARMIN 8617 screen helm set up with a custom interface running inside the native Garmin operating system. The user is free to mix-and-match the custom interface with the features of the Garmin software like the chartplotter.

Gauges

Design of the gauges reflects the racing style of the boat whilst retaining the feel of a one-off luxury product.
