Russian yacht designer Max Zhivov has only visited Sweden once, he designed the Black Iceberg.
The inspiration for this concept was icebergs, Viking boats and the atmosphere of Scandinavian nature. The main idea of project is ‘broken surface’ so the sides of yacht look like ice blocks,” explained Zhivov.
The 35-meters vessel has 32 square metres solar panel runs on the upper surface. “These are used as an additional source of energy to the traditional fuel,” explained Zhivov, who believes that “to live on water is one of the most exciting things”.
The yacht’s carbon fibre material gives her a top speed of 26 knots. “The main advantage of using carbon fibre in shipbuilding is a significant reduction of weight in comparison with steel, which means greater speed, cruising range and fuel efficiency,” explained Zhivov “High strength material ensures excellent stability of the vessel to any weather conditions,” he added.
The yacht is roomy . She has two master suits as well as two guest cabins can accommodate up to 8 guests.
