Project SY Mini Juno

She is very much an inside/outside concept with a large flexible aft deck for entertaining. Easy access to the water has been assured with an multi articulating stern platform. A William 505 Tender can be stowed within a dedicated garage or keep directly on the aft deck, lifted aboard by a sub deck mounted crane.

A single Dyna Rig has been chosen to maximise the sailing opportunity and minimise the sailing effort commanded from the flybridge helm console. Tried and tested control systems have proven in-service reliability. She will cruise at 12 knots under canvas alone wind speed and wind angle dependent.

Mini Juno offers accommodation on two decks plus a large open flybridge. Her expansive interior space planning will not disappoint; the full width Owners cabin suite is located in the aft ship with direct access onto the ‘beach’, three additional guest cabins have been provided with comfortable crew accommodation for four in the foreship.

The ship’s engine room is located amidship and set up with serial or parallel hybrid propulsion to best optimize the energy usage onboard. Solar panels have been integrated into the flybridge and the two propellers act as energy recovery turbines generating electricity whilst the vessel is sailing.

This is a future proof statement yacht, for a customer who is not afraid to do something different. It defies sailing convention but not the sailing experience.
