What are the key features of Delos 2.0?
Delos 2.0 is envisioned as a rugged, expeditionary cruising yacht for remote exploration. It will have a lifting or swing keel, easy access to water for diving, and a shop garage for dive equipment. The design includes modern hull design, a protected cockpit area, and a balance of sailing in various conditions. It will incorporate hybrid diesel/electric power, large battery banks, DC generators, and a solar array. Specifications include a length overall of 60 to 70 feet, unpainted aluminum or fiberglass hull, self-sufficient provisions for 3-5 months, and a cutter ketch rig.
How can Delos improve comfort and safety?
Delos aims to address challenges like wet cockpit from rain and insulation issues in the new boat design. Plans include improved rain protection, better insulation, and watertight bulkheads. Mold concerns due to condensation in non-insulated boats will be mitigated. Safety and stability will be enhanced with hard rails, while solutions to rolling issues like flopper stoppers and stern ties will be implemented. The design will also focus on providing more cabins, improved dinghy storage, and adequate fridge and freezer space for crew comfort.
What sailing performance aspects are crucial for Delos 2.0?
Sailing performance for Delos 2.0 will prioritize safety, ease of handling, and the benefits of a Furling Main. The crew plans to incorporate a good downwind setup with multiple sails for efficient sailing. Sail plan and hull design will be optimized for a balance of trade winds tropics, moderate latitudes, and high latitudes sailing. Skeg rudders for protection and support, adaptable keels to prevent running aground, and a separate engine room for easy access and maintenance will be key features to enhance sailing performance.
How will Delos 2.0 address living space and interior design?
Delos 2.0 will focus on maximizing space efficiency with convertible furniture and clever storage solutions. The design will address issues like dark interiors feeling cave-like by considering pilot houses or deck salons for more light and views. Stern overhangs causing disruptive slapping will be replaced with flat transoms for easier maintenance. The galley layout will continue to prioritize functionality and space utilization, while low maintenance exteriors like fiberglass decks will be favored for ease of upkeep.
What are the considerations for water and fuel capacity on Delos 2.0?
Delos 2.0 will prioritize water and fuel capacity for extended voyages. A water maker may not always be reliable, so a water capacity of a thousand liters is recommended for flexibility and emergencies. Fuel capacity for a thousand miles will allow for extensive travel options. Ventilation will be improved with more hatches for airflow, and the narrow stern design will be addressed to enhance living space and performance considerations.
