An entirely new class of yacht
Two years ago, Princess Yachts promised a revolution and this is what the Plymouth based yacht manufacturers have delivered with the new R35. The R35 isn’t just the fastest Princess yet, she also redefines innovation, quality and performance within the world of luxury yachts.
This sleek and provocative boat features the revolutionary use of a world-first active foiling system developed in partnership with BAR Technologies, Princess AFS, aerodynamics inspired by the performance road car and Formula 1 industries, and the use of carbon throughout. Combined, this delivers enormous performance gains as well as comfort, predictability, usability and efficiency, reducing drag by up to 30%, what helps it reach speeds of up to 50 knots.
As guardians of beauty and elegance, designer partners Pininfarina have ensured that neither the form of the boat nor its functionality overshadow one another.
The R35 represents the very latest in naval architecture and the most advanced technology. She boasts twin direct injection V8 petrol engines with variable valve timing, which provide exceptional levels of torque and responsiveness to safely power her to her maximum speed.
Her windshield is a sweep of curved glass, tuned using Computational Fluid Dynamics. Together with deployable side wind deflectors, the airflow moves cleanly above the cockpit and passengers’ head levels to create a neutral ‘bubble’ enabling you to ride, protected from the wind, without getting wet. The aerodynamically tuned twin air outlets on the transom help suppress any back spray on the stern of the boat.
Aft of the cockpit a sun-pad invites you to soak up the sunshine before you step down to the swim platform to cool off. Crucially, the performance opportunities are accessible to all levels of experience and over a wide range of dynamic situations.
Her technologically tuned form and superb performance, place her in a class of her own.
