DJANGO TOO

Jacques Fauroux's 1991 design for Tréhard centers around expansive deck spaces that transform this 25-meter sailing yacht into a floating terrace above the water. DJANGO TOO's beam of 6.43 meters creates unusually generous room for lounging areas that flow seamlessly from bow to stern, with the cockpit opening into a sun deck arrangement that feels more like a Mediterranean villa than a traditional sailboat. Fauroux's exterior lines emphasize horizontal planes and clean sight lines, allowing guests to move freely between shaded and sun-drenched zones as the day progresses. The deck layout accommodates eight guests without crowding, with distinct areas for dining, sunbathing, and observation that take full advantage of the yacht's proportions. Below deck, Franck Reynaud's interior work complements the exterior's emphasis on space and light. The 70-ton displacement provides stability for extended cruising, while four crew members ensure seamless operation of both sailing systems and guest services. DJANGO TOO represents a particular moment in French yacht design when architects like Fauroux were reimagining how deck space could be maximized on sailing vessels. The result feels less like a yacht designed around its rig and more like a floating platform designed around its occupants, with the sailing capability integrated rather than dominant.
