There may be some ideas we can steal from this one though not seen one yet. Might be an uncomfortable ride downstairs!

It is beautiful. It has that ultra modern high tech industrial asthetic.

Do you mean Futuristic Unadorned Glossy Light Yacht?

Going to need some pretty good non-slip on that fore deck. And I thought the camber and small toe rail on my NS38 was irritating!

Seems like they have cut and shut the hull / deck / cabin / cockpit together from numerous other recent designs...........trust it works but fear it won't and could be a frankenboat.

Think Ran VII was the first to do the bow sort of like that shape as per here;

marineindustrynews.co.uk/ran-vii-named-world-sailings-boat-of-the-year/

But Ran VII doesn't have the forward stanchions down and out on the hull chine rather following the foredeck line. Guess when the first forward hand gets stuck wedged to leeward between a stanchion and the hull/foredeck geometry they will realise. The bow itself is a lot less bulbous than this P30 - realise this type of high volume bow is for downwind speed but upwind in a slop it will be slow.

The aft end of bulbs ending in a point like that went out 20yrs ago - the spiraling vortex coming off it has too much drag. Should be a chiselled end beaver / platypus tail not too wide.

The batwings each side of the cabin will have more windage than a conventional cabin shape due to the frontal bluff area, and unnecessarily take away from inside cabin volume. Realise the inside cabin volume of this thing is way down the priority list. Again the constrictions they create for easy movement about the deck are significant.
