"Is this yacht coming from another dimension?". This is the question that George Lucian raised when he presented his MY Roswell concept of a 65-meter superyacht.

The idea behind the design is that of creating an iconic worldwide recognizable yacht inspired by the future. This is how the Monaco-based designer introduced his creation. It is important to underline that, so far, this is only a concept and that the designer did not provide further information about potential construction contracts.

At the same time, George Lucian did not provide many details. These, in fact, would probably be specified only whether potential customers will show a real interest. In that case, the features of the yacht could be defined to meet the requests of the buyer. Nevertheless, all the technologies he mentioned already exist, and are already in use.

Full electric capability, but the diesel remains

What we know is that the 65-meter full aluminum-hulled yacht would mainly rely on electric power. In fact, Lucian specified full electric capability, but the vessel would also be supported by two diesel-electric engines for long cruises. Moreover, Lucian placed large electric panels on most of the horizontal surfaces of the vessel, in order to take advantage of solar energy.
