A deck thought to combine cruising with the pleasure of manoeuvring a large sailboat, a hull with undeniable pedigree and an attention to the details obtained by obeying the styling studio give to Fly One everything what a selective owner can ask for, discretion among other things.

There are some owners for those who the already classic 82 feet design format of the maxi sailboat is somehow scarce in space, and those for which the resort to increase the freeboard and to add a deck house, and thus to gain habitability, is ugly.The Farr Nauta 93 produced in South Africa by SWS seems to be intended for them, an elegant yacht with an almost flush deck and spectacular performance in whose interior finally; there are several cabins with low bunks and a large saloon. Fly One is the second unit arriving in Europe and, as it is usual for the shipyard; they take advantage of the experience on the first unit to fall upon the improvements that, besides pleasing the desires of the owner, round up the concept and redound in their utility. Based on a 95 footer Bruce Farr design, the 93 feet presented here shows a fast hull with effective profiles that sacrifices very little from the habitability and obtains speeds over eleven knots in almost any course, thanks to a sail plan that has also evolved from the competition, and equipped with a full battened main over a park avenue type boom and carbon mast to obtain greater effectiveness.The addition of a fore sail with furler, that transforms the yacht into a cutter, corresponds with the owner program, eager to use Fly One in all kind of weather conditions and in any place in the world,with the forecast of crossing the Atlantic twice a season.
When the yacht was presented in Monaco during the last boat show it was indeed preparing to make the crossing towards the Caribbean; bear in mind also that, as most of the yachts produced in the South African shipyard, it had crossed by its own means the 8.000 nautical miles between Cape Town and Genoa, an exhaustive sea trial after which it received a thorough clean and a general review previous to the delivery to the owner.

ADJUSTED FREEBOARD
Over the hull with an adjusted freeboard and tenuous camber Nauta has designed a low profile deck house under which the groove of the hood stands out acting as a breakwater, but without snubbing the aesthetics. A discreet roof that extends beyond the mast helps to structure the deck, already enormous on its own and very uncluttered thanks to the intelligent action of the studio responsible for the distribution of the fittings, and to the use of flush hatches made by the shipyard itself. Its stern most area is divided in two separated cockpits by an ample solarium platform and allows to have all the winches and the essential equipment that the manual sail trimming that a sailboat of this size demands to make the most of the sail area.The over 28 meters of the deck help to distribute all the elements maintaining an almost flush deck aesthetic, with the benefits for the gravity centre and the ease of movements that it provides. Made under the supervision of the well-known sailor Pierre Fehlman, the manoeuvre inventory includes a hydraulic winch at the mast base that serves the other four drums in charge of the halyards. In the stern cockpit there are two primary and two secondary ones, used alternatively for the spinnaker, the foresail or the runners, moved by an hydraulic motor.The mainsheet winch is also assisted.The location of those winches allows trimming without leaving the stern cockpit but at the same time it foresees their use from the deck when the manoeuvres demand more rapidity.
It has been decided to have only a single binnacle with a wheel of 2,20 meters of diameter, for which a groove on the grate of the deck of that cockpit has been made.There is also a second protection hood and a second companionway that, from there, leads directly to the crew area and the chart table, which will make that area ideal for long distance navigations.

COCKPIT AND DECK
The central cockpit, equipped with a large table with two folding wings, ice chest and a central space for the service, leads directly to the main saloon by means of a large companionway with sliding covers to which a stair of gentle inclination follows, wide steps and handrails worth their name. A bimini can be added up to the hood to increase the protection against the elements. The rest of the deck is also very practical for the guests when the boat is at rest: the passageways are ample, the structure of the coach roofs allows its use as a solarium, the composite shrouds are no obstacle and the fore deck is also clean despite the existence of an ample forepeak located before the anchorage area.
It uses two fixed sheaves slightly separated from the stem, allowing greater speed and security with the anchor works.The shipyard also proposes for this design a "submarine" type anchor that comes out under the water and avoids completely the nuisances on deck.
To the mentioned forepeak, able to stow inside one or two spare sails in addition to the bow thrusters mechanism, astern there is an ample lazarette space or garage that is accessible either through a double hood on deck or by the transom door, that when opening becomes a practical bathing or boarding platform.The lazarette lodges a water bike that can be hoisted by means of a hydraulic crane made specially and integrated on its ceiling. It also lodges the motor of the automatic pilot and the scuba diving equipment, in addition to the box in which there is the hydraulic gangway that comes out through a discreet rectangle of the transom. When using the rudder of Fly One a sustained shaft both in the rudder hole as well as on deck, which improves the rigidity of its carbon structure, the garage cannot lodge a real tender.The obligation to hold on deck the tender is, then, the only limitation that the Farr design presents.
