Luxury cruising and racing on a open 60 naval architecture concept.

With over twenty years of experience in the sailing market, the Italian shipyard Maxi Dolphin, known for its production of one-off yachts, has followed its natural evolution and now launches the 20m sailing yacht DREAM 67 Shamlor. The new DREAM 67 Shamlor yacht is highly customised – a distinctive feature of the Maxi Dolphin production process – which, along with the highly advanced building techniques utilised, perfectly represents the yard’s philosophy in the building of entirely personalised hulls.

The luxury yacht DREAM 67 Shamlor stands out for her superior performance, which necessitates extremely high quality construction standards, entrusted to Maxi Dolphin, which was chosen as the shipbuilder: further confirmation of the excellent levels reached by the Erbusco boatyard and recognised in the international sailing world.
Constructed entirely with Sprint pre preg technology, the DREAM 67 Shamlor yacht is notable for her extreme sturdiness and unparalleled lightness, guaranteeing excellent performances in regattas.

Running downwind safely and comfortably with family or friends at 25 knots speed is now possible, the project has started with our client from this ambitious consideration.

This very light displacement and powerful high standards sailing yacht is answering to the following interesting question: how could we be as close as possible to a Vendee Globe Open 60 and/or a Volvo 70 concept on a leisure and comfortable boat ?
We could compare the concept to a luxury fast car equipped with the best racing engines, wheels and systems. Latest technologies, exhaustive engineering, constant weight watching all along the project were the major keys used.
To monitor the concept as far as possible specialists such as Pr Michel Kermarec (Aero Hydro dynamist – BMW Oracle) or Michel Desjoyaux (double Vende Globe winner) have contributed to the conception with me.
The result is a wide planning hull shape equipped with a canting keel, twin rudder direction system and a 30 m high rotating mast !

Interior design has been studied to keep weight as low as possible and to make sure at the same time that our client and his guests will feel in a quiet, modern and comfortable environment.
Apparent structure, sound and vibration insulation in critical area, light engineered clear oak panels for furniture and fabrics drawers have been realized perfectly by the boatyard.
With her very wide foldable aft bath platform the boat is increasing her size by 5 extra feet when moored ! The tender garage is allowing the crew to pull out a 3,4 m long tender when needed.
