Sabdes develops concepts into final proposals, combining innovative design with contemporary arrangements. A high focus of Sabdes' work is on producing initial concept and exterior design solutions. Sabdes' marketing is based on two different design approaches and related activities. The first is the development our concepts tailored to clients needs. The second approach is the development of new designs based on specific requirements outlined by clients. Sabdes' design services targets three distinct types of yachts; Custom build 50m to 170m (165'-550'), Semi custom 40m to 80m (130'-260') and Production 12m to 45m (40'-150').
The processes required to create extraordinary yachts balance art with science and the company looks at yacht design holistically, with a knowledge of design and styling crossing the full spectrum of industrial design and an engineering knowledge.
Sabdes brings innovative concepts into engineering reality by beginning with sketching exterior styling proposals, and going on to model every aspect of the exterior and interior using 3D computer modelling applications."Concept design tender" and "statement of owners requirements" are matched to what which Shipyards can build. Final design is guaranteed by the Shipyard and their Engineering and Naval Architect teams.
The 70m Sabdes design is a really radical superyacht. Her hull is in British Racing Green, and also looks awesome in Rosso Corso, she has speed of more than 30 knots, and accommodation for 12 guests. Special characteristics of the design are a large forward entertainment deck, vast glass areas, and the absence of radar masts. Other features include stowage for a 3-person mini-submarine, a helicopter landing pad, spa pools, scuba diving facilities, and an observation deck and sea-level gymnasium.
Her distinctive sheer line frames expansive sweeping hull windows, and a large low window extending along the aft quarter of the hull. Windows set low near the water are not normally seen in yacht design. In order to meet classification rules, the hull has large inward opening doors set behind the windows - when opened it effectively opens the area into a sea-level 'club'.
The 70m beauty has length overall 71.30m, the beam is 14.00m high, while the draft is 2.60m. There are five decks, two diesel engines with lots of power (6000Hp), and all that is built in hull built from aluminium and composite.
