Flying was always the dream of mankind and sailing is one of mankind's longest professions; sailing like a flying bird on seas and oceans has always been tempting and seemed elegant for ages. Inspired by the black skimmer bird, Project Akira is developed to sail exquisitely around the globe like a graceful creature of nature that nicely blends with sea environment. A minimalistic approach is executed to achieve both a modern and naïve look by using simple geometries and long curves continuing along the yacht.
