E Uiga ia Goldfinger Va'a Fa'alelei

O le Goldfinger o se manatu fa'ata'ita'i o se va'a fa'alelei tele e 65 mita le umi, e maualalo ma faʻamaʻulu lelei foliga o fafo. E i ai se laina fa'aauau o tioata i itu e sosolo i le umi atoa o le va'a. O nei tioata e aumaia ai le malamalama o le ao i totonu o potu autū ma maua ai va'aiga lautele i le sami. O le tino o le va'a e fausia i vaega u'amea ua uelo fa'atasi, ae o le fogāva'a lona tolu i luga e faia i le alumini e fa'aitiitia ai le mamafa o le vaega pito i luga ma fa'aleleia ai le mautū. O avanoa tetele o fa'amalama e lagolagoina e se fausaga fa'aeteete e tumau ai le malosi ma le lē ulufia e le vai o le tino u'amea o le va'a. E fā fogāva'a o lo'o i ai nofoaga fa'aagafesootai, potu moe tumaoti ma avanoa matala i fafo.

Pepa Fa'asalalau

Fa'amaoniaga, sui o le 'au ma fa'amatalaga fa'atekinisi na saunia e le tagata mamanu.

Uiga Fa'apitoa: Goldfinger is a contemporary superyacht concept defined by a low, sculpted profile and a continuous ribbon of glazing that floods interiors with natural light while preserving privacy. Efficient hull lines and integrated terraces enhance seakeeping and outdoor living, delivering a discreet yet powerful presence underway and at anchor.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i: Name: Goldfinger. Type: 65 m mega yacht. Length overall: 65 m, beam: 11,500 m. Construction: steel hull; aluminium upper third deck. Decks: lower deck, main deck, upper deck and open sun deck. Key feature: extensive full length side glazing for high daylight and panoramic sea views.
Fa'ailoga: 65m megayacht, Goldfinger, panoramic windows, steel hull, aluminium superstructure, contemporary exterior design, lightweight topside, indoor outdoor connection, naval architecture, yacht concept design
Tekonolosi Gaosiga: Steel hull fabricated in welded blocks sections, aligned on the building berth and fully seam welded. The upper third deck is aluminium to reduce topside weight and improve stability. After structural completion, all piping systems like fuel, fresh, grey, black water, tanks, hvac and electrical cableways are routed and fixed in place. Final phase: insulation and full interior outfit like bulkheads, ceilings, floors, furniture and finishes.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu: The hardest challenge was integrating the full length side glazing while keeping structural stiffness, safety and buildability. large openings in a steel hull require careful framing, watertight detailing and compliance with class fire rules, while the aluminium upper deck had to minimize topside weight without compromising strength. The design balanced aesthetics, stability and production feasibility.
Su'esu'ega: Type of research: applied design research. Research objectives: define a 65 m concept with strong sea connection and balanced topside weight. Methodology: iterative exterior space studies and feasibility checks. Data collection and research tools used: reference benchmarking, 3D cad, naval architecture inputs. Results: full length glazing and lightweight upper deck strategy. Insights and Impacts: brighter interiors, stronger indoor outdoor experience. Effect: improved user comfort and perceived space.
Fa'aosofia: Goldfinger takes its name from the iconic Sean Connery 007 film. Drawing on my experience as a mega yacht design supervisor, I develop new concepts where expansive sea facing glazing creates a direct, continuous connection with the horizon. The sculpted, low silhouette and long ribbon windows maximize daylight, enhance views, and balance privacy with a bold, contemporary presence.
Umi o le Poloketi: The project was developed as a concept from February 2025 to January 2026 in Venice, Italy.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega: Goldfinger is operated by a professional crew from the bridge; guests simply move through the yacht’s decks and outdoor areas. The large side windows bring daylight and sea views into the main interior spaces, making inside and outside feel connected. Daily flow is intuitive: arrival, social areas on main deck, private cabins on lower deck, relaxation on upper and sun deck.
