The whole concept around the FD is volume, so why not make the most of every aspect of the yacht? This open flybridge concept has a number of upsides, including the ability to sunbake in complete privacy,” commented Mark Western, Managing Director of Horizon Yachts Australia.
“The visibility from the open bridge also has many benefits including the ability to enter a marina in the dark with uninterrupted visibility. The FD series is certainly leading the market in design and innovation with many brands starting to follow suit.”
The tri-deck superstructure design led to a proportionate hull extension, giving this yacht an LOA of 92’ and augmenting the already spacious beach club and Hi/Lo swim platform and watersports area.
Built with a 2,500lb capacity, the platform itself boasts yet another ingenious amenity: a “transformer” section that rises and lowers to facilitate water access with ease.
“For all intents and purposes, Horizon Yachts is largely a custom builder,” says Horizon Group CEO John Lu.
“One of the company principles, however, is to take the investment and R&D from a successful Horizon yacht customisation and build fully engineered and tested models of that yacht on spec for future owners.
“The collaboration with the owner of the FD92 led not only to a yacht that met his design criteria, but also a new model for our FD Series that offers the best of indoor and outdoor living.”
The first FD92,Hull 15, is currently under construction and on schedule to be delivered to its American owner in July of 2020. The second FD92, Hull 17 being built on spec, will be launched at the end of 2020.
