Vaan R4 Sustainable Sailing Yacht

Vaan R4

This sailing catamaran is designed with active sailors in mind. The minimalist design is inspired by modern sleek monohulls and racing sailing yachts. The open cockpit provides a direct connection with the water, both when sailing or at anchor. The recycled aluminium building material is exposed only in the matte aluminium 'targa roll-bar' which also provides shelter while sailing in rough weather. The floors inside and outside are at the same level which improves the connection between the active sailors outside and friends and family in the saloon.

Vaan R4 Sustainable Sailing Yacht by Igor Kluin has been recognized as a grand illustration of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Vaan R4 Sustainable Sailing Yacht was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Yacht and Marine Vessels Design in 2020. The A' Yacht and Marine Vessels Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design recognition program that honors superior design of sailboats, motor yachts, catamarans, trimarans, superyachts, explorer yachts, sportfishing yachts, luxury houseboats and more.
