Winch Design has delivered the 29m (88ft) sailing yacht High Five, a performance cruising sloop built by Fibre Mechanics in Lymington, UK.
The yacht, which has a low draft limited to 2m, features naval architecture by Bill Tripp and an interior designed by Winch Design.
Features include an exterior aft deck, cockpit and interior space designed to support family life, celebrate craftsmanship, and reflect the joy of life on the water with references to traditional maritime design.
“The project represents the realisation of a deeply personal vision for our client: a passionate design enthusiast with a longstanding love of the sea and a desire to create a yacht that feels, above all, like home,” explained a spokesperson from Winch Design.
Multi-functional deck
“Functionality was a driving force from the start. The layout was designed for a highly active, family-oriented lifestyle – where water sports, shared meals, games, reading, and even karaoke are part of daily life.”
The interior is open-plan with a multi-functional deck house lounge with an integrated galley.
A dining area is opposite the galley, leading to the lower lounging and study area and a full-beam owner’s suite has large windows on both sides featuring blackout solutions.
Guest cabins offer flexibility, with twin beds and individual colour palettes. The starboard cabin can convert to a double and the crew and captain’s cabins match the finish quality of guest areas.
Maximum versatility
Dining and lounging areas and a navigation desk that doubles as a home office or study space, reflect the yacht’s multipurpose nature to allow maximum versatility.
The aft deck beach-BBQ area and cockpit arrangement caters for daily life and multiple family activities.
“Every element – spatial flow, material selection, subtle indirect lighting, and detailing works in service of comfort, usability, and emotional connection,” explained Winch Design.
“In addition, all materials have been carefully engineered to achieve an extreme lightweight interior, enabling efficient sailing performance.”
