Robbie and Tyler Doyle, the masterminds behind Doyle Sails, explain how they managed the calculation and production of a total of 4500 square metres for the world's largest sailing yacht. The aerodynamic analyses alone were a science in themselves.
With "Joy" we present the second premiere. Having previously limited themselves to designing interiors, Dickie Bannenberg and Simon Rowell have now ventured "outwards". The 70 metre long Feadship "Joy" is the exterior premiere of the British design duo, who are responsible for a huge legacy.
Dickie's late father Jon is regarded as a design legend and was a trainer for many of today's very successful yacht designers. How do you deal with that? "Sporty," says Bannenberg, radically intervening in traditional structures. With "Joy", as with the "Sailing Yacht A", tastes therefore differ - you either like it or you don't. But this was also true of some of Bannenberg senior's deliveries.
