21st Century Yachting's Brand Royalty: Tony Castro Design Ltd.'s 60’ SIZZLER - Design 289
I don't always work. Seriously, I don't! And when I do serious relaxing, I go sailing - ideally in the Grenadines, between Bequia and Grenada. And when my Quest to shave the world with King of Shaves is properly globally underway, I already know what I'll be launching...
One of the 21st Century's first UK Yacht Design & Manufacturers, designing (and building) yachts right here in the UK, using all the skills and knowledge we have in our fantastic seafaring nation.
Not super-heavy 'blue water' cruisers, or 'plastic fantastics' but hybrid yachts, that bring together the beauty of wood, the performance of advanced composites and the elegance of simplicity, with a razor sharp cutting edge.
Yachts designed for people like me. People who embrace change as a constant, are as restless as the ocean and who never accept today's 'Best' as being what really is today's best.
Many of you will have read the story behind the design, development and manufacture of the King of Shaves Azor, the first system razor to be designed and manufactured in the UK in over 100 years, if you haven't, you can check out the story here.
And when I do, I'll be taking inspiration from designers like Luca Brenta, Luca Bassani, and yards like Wally, and most certainly from Tony Castro Ltd., the designers responsible for Sizzler, the 60' 'day yacht' pictured here, which spends her days sailing across a land-locked lake in Idaho, Potato Country, USA.
Apart from my yacht will take to the water here in the UK, and sail from Cowes, the 'Home of Yachting'...
There's plenty of concept work been going on behind the scenes - to do with the yacht, her design, rig & ergonomics - which I intend to completely turn on their head.
But for the moment I leave you with Sizzler.
That is, until I launch my dream. Give me a few years, I guarantee it won't take as long as it took for me to bring the Azor to the world, and change the face of shaving for better, Forever.
Join us. We are King of Shaves (& Sails).
