the time he is said to have taken. Three hours with a pad and pencil in bed, then Philippe Starck had sketched the object about which, many years later, people are still heatedly debating. “A“, the 119-metre-long result of that night and realised by HDW, splits owners, designers, engineers or pure yacht-lovers, like you perhaps are, into only two groups: admirers and opponents. There is no in-between. “I wanted to stir up the rather conservative scene“, Starck once said about his design. Broadly speaking, the bow, the extremely long foredeck and the superstructure alone are enough to qualify “A” for her title as the most extravagant solitaire in yachting history. Readers who get more deeply immersed in the article on page 32 will learn that “A” also does justice to this role with other details.

this 119-metre-long vessel from the public eye during the delivery phase. This worked better in the north of Berlin, quasi the second construction site of “A”. In weeks of meticulous work, a shipyard for miniatures completed a model of the yacht – just 1.19 metres long, so on a scale of 1:100. How does that work? See page 94.
