Heres a project that never got any traction but is interesting none-the-less. It is a design proposal for a high speed motoryacht with an overall length of 163. Labeled the TS 163, it brought together a talented team of builder, designers and engineers:
Shipyard: Tecnomarine of Italy
Exterior Stylist: Design Studio Spadolini (Tommaso Spadolini)
Interior Design: Paola D. Smith
Naval Architecture & Engineering: Sparkman & Stephens
The T in the model name refers to Technomarine (not to be confused with the watchmaker) and the S refers to the three Ss: Sparkman & Stephens, Paola Smith and Tommaso Spadolini.
