Jeff Horseman got into journalism because he liked to write and stunk at math. He grew up in Vermont and he honed his interviewing skills as a supermarket cashier by asking Bernie Sanders “Paper or plastic?” After graduating from Syracuse University in 1999, Jeff began his journalistic odyssey at The Watertown Daily Times in upstate New York, where he impressed then-U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton so much she called him “John” at the end of an interview. From there, he went to Annapolis, Maryland, where he covered city, county and state government at The Capital newspaper. Today, Jeff writes about anything and everything. Along the way, Jeff has covered wildfires, a tropical storm, 9/11 and the Dec. 2 terror attack in San Bernardino. If you have a question or story idea about politics or the inner workings of government, please let Jeff know. He’ll do his best to answer, even if it involves a little math.

“Nature” achieves the feat of combining traditional materials of shipbuilding with modern geometric shapes. The aim of the study is to pave new ways for yacht construction. And to demonstrate how luxury can be combined with innovation.

This starts with the renunciation of the classic white of the outer skin. The most striking external element are the huge rectangular window surfaces. Where many ships spread countless windows over the hull as in a block of flats, the windows of the “Nature” shape the hull and let the boat enter into a dialogue with the waves via the reflections.

A retreat on the open sea was designed. There is also real nature on board – namely a spacious garden.

“The name of the yacht has a double meaning for us: it refers to both human nature and the way people interact with nature as an environment,” says Sander Sinot, designer and founder of Sinot. “As designers, we are always fascinated by nature in its perfection, purity and greatness; nature offers endless sources of inspiration. But we found that sometimes there is a strict distinction between nature and man-made structures, and we wanted to cross those boundaries.”

The goal is to dissolve the boundaries between the hull and the environment. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer spectacular views of the foaming sea. In the design, care was taken to allow the rooms to be flooded with natural light as much as possible. In the interior, natural materials such as wood and stone are mostly used.

However, the “Nature” is only designed for a small group of guests. It can accommodate 18 guests and up to 50 crew members. The yacht has eight guest suites, a spacious suite for the owners, a spa deck, a gym and a swimming pool at sea level. Even on board you do not have to do without an observatory and an indoor garden.

It should take four years to complete the construction of the superyacht.
