A new 30-metre sailing yacht concept by Philippe Briand

Philippe Briand and his studio has unveiled their latest project, a new sailing yacht concept. The 30-metre Egoist is carbon sloop designed for a passionate owner, truthfully willing to fully experience sailing, without the disturbance of a large crew and additional guests. In fact, Egoist’s indoor spaces include a spacious main salon, a generous and comfortable master suite, and accommodation for –only- up to two crew members. The sailing yacht is fully customizable and, in Philippe Briand’s own words, she is meant to be only for “a pure pleasure of the owner, not bowing the demands or tastes of anyone else. The concept of Egoist is to become an owner’s self-indulgent fantasy; it should be the yacht that they have always dreamed of owning.”
“At a time when many yachts are designed to satisfy the ‘masses’ – from the charter guest to the potential buyer – the artistic direction can become misguided and the originality of the design diluted. The outcome: the essence of why the yacht is being built is in danger of getting lost. Egoist is the antidote to this’ she has been designed purely to satisfy the needs and enjoyment of the owner.”
