The first sketches of C were simple lines hinting at an intriguing, faceted structure, each level designed to bring light into the vessel in a unique way. Studio De Voogt began leveraging its heritage of yacht design mastery to conceptualise a future Feadship in three dimensions, imagining exciting lifestyle options in an open-plan interior. C's bow flare pays homage to the designs of the late Frits de Voogt, whose powerful and iconic bows are evident in the Feadship Heritage Fleet, brought forward here with hidden anchors and glass balustrades. Departing from the fluidity of Dunes, C displays a more masculine flair, hexagons, polygons and crisp oblique lines imparting boldness and strength.

Feadship's Knowledge & Innovation team proposes a passive energy-generating system called 'Hammerhead'. A pair of retractable fins deploy horizontally at the bow; as they encounter wave motion, they swivel and a permanent magnet generator converts the movement into DC electrical energy stored in the batteries. Analysis through CFD modelling indicates the yacht could harvest about 60-80 kW in a very common 1-metre seaway — covering approximately half of C's hotel load. When anchored, the same fins activate to dampen roll motions, and may even be used to tension the anchor chain, avoiding the tendency to 'sail' in shifting winds.
