GRACE III

Hoek Design Naval Architects shaped every line of GRACE III, from her hull's classical proportions to the carefully considered spaces within her 39.34-meter frame. The Dutch studio's signature approach to contemporary sailing yacht design reveals itself in the seamless integration of exterior profile and interior layout, where traditional sailing yacht principles meet modern performance requirements. SES Yachts delivered this design vision in 2021, creating a vessel that demonstrates Hoek's particular talent for balancing visual restraint with practical sophistication. Her 7.72-meter beam provides the foundation for accommodations serving eight guests, while her 131 gross tons house the systems necessary for extended cruising under sail. The architectural coherence extends from deck to salon, where Hoek Design's interior work maintains the same disciplined aesthetic that defines her exterior lines. Clean surfaces and carefully proportioned volumes create spaces that feel both generous and purposeful, avoiding the ornamental excess that can compromise a sailing yacht's essential character. Five crew members operate GRACE III with the kind of seamless efficiency her design demands. The yacht represents a particular moment in contemporary sail yacht development, where proven design principles find expression through modern construction techniques and materials. Her proportions speak to an understanding of what makes a sailing yacht both beautiful and functional, qualities that remain constant regardless of technological advancement.
