S/Y Duende - Interior

Newport Yacht Builders teamed up with Carbon Ocean Yachts this past year to engineer and build the interior for the stunning SDK Structures/Dirk Kramers-designed 50’ high-performance cruising catamaran Duende, winner of Best Sailboat at the 2024 Newport International Boat Show. Graceful curves and super light weight was the design brief for the interior, which NYB achieved with a highly engineered Tricel panel and Vtec veneer construction, leading to a galley cabinetry weight of only 110 pounds.

Duende has a sleek, low profile, and reverse sheer and bow sections.

The galley boasts curved door and drawer faces, induction cooktop, and a pop-up microwave.

The helm integrates seamlessly into the surrounding carbon structure, with a fold-down B&G Multifunction Display, chart table, and access to the foredeck.

NYB utilized their Leica RTC 360 Lidar Scanner to ensure that all interior components fit the hull structure perfectly.

Duende can be found chewing up the miles between Narragansett Bay and points east.
