During a special event on 7th December at the Monaco Yacht Club, home to the Dynamiq head office, CEO Sergei Dobroserdov and naval architect Perry van Oossanen presented the new GTT 165 project to a rapt audience of leading yacht brokers.
The GTT 165 represents the latest – and largest – addition to the Dynamiq feet and introduces yet more technical innovation. The Fast Displacement XL hull form is a new development by Van Oossanen Naval Architects that instead of prioritising volume, aims to maximise waterline length within a given gross tonnage for optimal speed, range and comfort.
In addition and working in combination with the Hull Vane, the GTT 165 will feature a Naiad T-Foil. This ride control device under the forward section of the hull provides lift to further reduce drag. By pivoting the foil and adding active flaps, the device can reduce pitching by up to 50 per cent to enhance performance and comfort. The GTT 165 represents the first time the technology has been applied to a monohull superyacht of this size.
“We looked the market for 50m yachts under 500GT and firmly believe there are no all-aluminium competitors for the GTT 165 in terms of speed, consumption, comfort, price and running costs,” Dobroserdov told the brokers present. “That might sound pretty simple to achieve, but to make it happen we had to form a team with the brightest and most experienced naval architects and engineers.”
