Porsche to Design New Luxury Yachts
Porsche Design is teaming up with Singapore-based yacht concern Royal Falcon Fleet on a new line of luxury catamarans and megayachts. The companies' initial collaborative project will be a high-tech 135-ft. motor catamaran, dubbed the RFF135 (above), to be sold under the Royal Falcon Fleet brand. Porsche Design will design both the exterior hull and the interior of the megayacht, which is expected to do 35 knots and retail in the millions. Royal Falcon Fleet, which dubs its craft "the ultimate in billionaire boys' toys," has engaged cutting edge Swedish-based marine engineering firm Kockums and Australian catamaran builder Incat Crowther for the project's naval architecture needs. No word yet on a completion date.

If they were really serious about making a serious world class yacht they would do something very different and build a "Tri-Maran". something off the original Arthur Piver Design from in late 60's. Sleek, very fast and can adapt to either sail or power
