Yacht, Space or Water?

Yes, this could be a space ship.

Now if only in real life it was a sub too, then it would be more than just an awesome yacht.

Considering that it's open to the back, I'd have to go with 'water'.

Spiffy looking thing, but I can't make heads or tails of the deck plan.

Cool!

I think the deck plan shows the lowest deck of the ship. The middle area is the engine room, usually soundproofed and partitioned from the rest of the ship. The big stateroom aft is probably the owner's. The really narrow section up front is the crew's bunks, heads and showers. The upper deck, not shown on the plans, accesses all of them.

I only posted a few images from the website

Also, yes it is sea yacht, the idea was it could easily be made into a space yacht with very little work

I want one.

No, wait: I want the income that could buy one. You can keep the boat.

Cat designs are becoming the rage. Correction "sleek space-age" type multihulls are the sheik thing if you're a young single wealthy ship master with cash to burn.

I've never been on one. I used to race monohulls back in the day before what's-his-name decided that Australia wining America's cup just wasn't cool, therefore he broke the unwritten rule of entering a cat, which put the whole sport in an uproar. Now everybody races cats.

Sleeping on a yacht is a challenge depending on conditions. Even if you have calm seas it's hard.

I can't quite seen in the photo; is the main hull in the water, or just supported by the outriggers? They look a little small to support that much, so I wonder if this is more of a tri-hull than a cat.

It's in the water. Trimarans rely on on the outriggers to disperse the force of the wind and cut down on the Y (perpendicular) component that has to knife through the water.
