This week we spoke with Andrew Winch, of Winch Design, on one of his older, yet one of his most impressive, projects - 162m M/Y Dubai, our yacht of the week. Launched in 2006 by Platinum Yachts , with naval architecture from Blohm + Voss and exterior design by Winch Design, this yacht remains one of the all-time greats, not least because of its incredible volume. It was custom built for a member of the Royal family of the United Arab Emirates, and therefore has a distinctly Middle Eastern influence. Winch lets us in on some of his favourite features of the yacht, as well as some lesser-known aspects of the project as it progressed.

This week we explore the interior of Darlings Danama . The 60-metre is a classically designed yacht with a youthful spirit captured perfectly by her interior and realised by Ancona-based CRN and Zuccon International Project. Launched in 2011, the motoryacht can accommodate up to 12 guests across five beautiful staterooms. The interior design was the result of a collaboration between Alexandre and Cristina Negoescu and CRN’s Interior and Design Department. We trace the design journey of Darlings Danama as we speak to both design teams.
