The
Johnson 87 was the first of a new range of motor yachts that we
have designed for this client. Johnson have been a client of ours
since the 1980’s and we were delighted when they asked us
to not just design the vessels, but also to carry out a detailed
programme of research into the type of vessel we felt would be right
for the present day and, which would have a long ‘production
‘ life’.
The result was the 87 and now its two ‘younger’
sisters, the 75 and the 105, details of which can also be found
elsewhere on this site.
As can be seen from the images the 87 brings superyacht
styling down to a range of yachts which, until we designed her,
had only been seen on significantly larger vessels.
The
new Johnsons styling is mounted on our latest, wide beam motor
yacht hull, which was subjected to a considerable amount of development
and tank testing prior to the final design being arrive at. It
not only gives the yachts excellent stability and overall performance
but provides a considerable increase in the amount of both deck
and interior space.
