About WHIMSY

The sailing yacht WHIMSY perfectly embodies the alliance of performance and luxury. Designed by renowned naval architect Philippe Briand and featuring a refined interior by Franck Darnet Design, this 23.98-metre performance cruising sloop stands as a benchmark in her category. Her sleek profile and clean, elegant lines reflect a timeless design, while her advanced equipment ensures thrilling sailing experiences combined with outstanding onboard comfort.

WHIMSY’s uniqueness lies in a selection of simple yet rare features for a yacht of this size. The guest cockpit is exceptionally spacious, offering both transverse and lateral circulation for effortless movement in all conditions. Completely separated from the sailing and manoeuvring area, it provides enhanced safety, particularly for guests and children. The swim platform is generously sized and cleverly designed. Positioned above the waterline, it is naturally protected from splash and remains easily accessible from the sunbathing areas and cabins. The 3.50-metre tender is housed in an innovative aft garage accessible directly from the deck. Its launch and retrieval are quick and efficient in almost all weather conditions, thanks to the smart use of the boom as a lifting crane.

This same focus on simplicity guided the architects in creating a yacht perfectly suited for long-distance cruising with a reduced crew and up to six guests onboard. Particular attention has been given to optimizing the shared living spaces, with a warm and inviting main saloon finished in aniegré wood. Its unusually generous volume is the result of a deliberate layout choice, offering three equal en-suite cabins, two doubles and one twin, ensuring flexibility and a sense of balance, especially for charter use.

The crew area is comfortable for a couple, and onboard systems have been intentionally simplified to enhance reliability and ease of operation.
