Steve Kozloff’s latest creation, the 41m sailing yacht called 2US (To Us), is designed for a capable couple but can comfortably accommodate additional crew. Spanning five decks, its interior includes a spacious owner’s suite, one VIP cabin, two twin cabins, and crew quarters for three.
With a robust ice-class hull, the 2US is a versatile explorer, capable of covering 6,000 nautical miles using diesel power. Efficient management of its hybrid propulsion systems and sailing rig significantly extends its range. It can reach nine knots using diesel power or ten knots under sail.
A highlight of the vessel is its innovative Solid Sail system, designed by French company Chantiers de L’Atlantique. This system allows the mast to tilt 70 degrees forward, reducing the air draft from 144 feet to 89 feet, enabling the yacht to pass under most bridges. The free-standing mast can rotate 360 degrees to maximize wind power and includes integrated load-sensing technology for precise control.
A built-in crane in the boom is a practical design feature, facilitating the lifting and movement of cargo or toys. The spacious garage accommodates a large tender, a U-Boat Worx NEMO submarine, and other small runabouts.
Moreover, the yacht boasts an 1,800-square-foot aircraft hangar capable of housing a helicopter and an IKON seaplane. The helipad is synchronized with the yacht’s stabilization system, ensuring a stable platform for takeoffs and landings even in rough conditions.Credits: Steve Kozloff
