The DG52′ is an aluminium sailing yacht, with wheelhouse/watchstand overlooking the interior.
She is currently under construction at Normandy Yacht Service shipyard in Caen and will be launched in October 2021. Interior design has been performed by Pierre Frutschi.
A round-the-world programme, solid aluminium construction, and interior ergonomics designed for safe sailing… This is what qualifies the design of the DG52′, a beautiful sloop of 15.80m.
This yacht was designed by our design office for a owners wishing to sail everywhere, in full protection. Very quickly, the notion of a wheelhouse / watchroom entered the design brief!
On the DG52′, the wheelhouse is not just an extension of the cockpit, but an extra room inside!
This is what sets the DG52′ apart from many other sailing yachts. Here, the watchroom is open to the saloon and communicates with the rest of the interior. Three seats are integrated into the watchroom, allowing you to eat, keep watching or simply rest with the controls at your fingertips and an exceptional view of the outside. Down below, there is a saloon on a platform (allowing a view of the sea once seated), and an area dedicated to the installation of a ….piano: a wish of the shipowner who wanted to practice his two passions, “sailing and music”, at the same place/at the same time…
The layout and interior design were refined by Pierre Frutschi, a renowned designer in the yachting industry.
The wheelhouse is integrated under an aluminium arch to position the mainsail track. At the stern, the yacht has a large cockpit. The cockpit is almost on the same level as the wheelhouse, which ensures that the person in charge of the watch is able to react quickly to boat manoeuvres.
Access to the rear skirt is via the helmsman’s seat. When sailing, safety is still the main concern with a closed cockpit, beautiful handrails and robust and reliable equipment.
