Luxury yacht : semi-displacement mega-yacht (composite)
SLOJO Delta Marine

- 47.55m

156' 0"ft

Delta's brief was to build a highly maneuverable, long range, shallow draft diving craft. In developing the hull design, Delta opted for efficiency over a broad range of operating profiles rather than target a single optimized top speed point (an all eggs in one basket approach). Recognizing that most yachts are not operated at maximum power very frequently, Delta created an evolved hybrid shape that produces less drag at lower speeds and still allows the yacht to perform well when it is time to pick up the pace to beat a weather system. In spite of her relatively modest draft, slojo has ample range and capability for long ocean passages.

The interior, designed by Tom Stringer Inc. of Chicago, captures the essence of contemporary architecture. The design program for slojo, says Stringer, "was not delivered by the owner's in a dossier. Instead, it came through a series of conversations and experiences during years of travel together, for in this owner/designer relationship, friendship came first." The design is restrained yet detailed, clean and open spaces adorned with a collection of primitive Asian, African and ethnographic art. An integral part of the design is individual art cells located in the main salon, lined with off-white leather and face lit, that become the home to these rare and unique collections. Pieces that are discovered, one by one, throughout the voyages and adventures of slojo and her owners; pieces that reflect the places traveled.
