The Yacht Design Competition-YDC Awards, with a higher bonus this year, took place again in 2014. This competition attracted 75 entries from designers and students in Taiwan. There were 2 stages of judgment, and 10 experts comprised the judging panel. Yachts honored with one gold medal, silver medal, bronze medal and a great award were selected. The entry “Laridae Yacht,” invented by graduate students Zai-ming Chen, Chia-chen Cen and Tzi-shian Chou of the Department of Industrial Design under the instruction of Adjunct Associated Professor Po-shiung Yeh, was honored with a gold medal. The awarding ceremony will take place on November 12th at the Ship and Ocean 
Industries R&D Center in Taipei.
 
The main design idea of the yacht was from an animal, laridaes. The appearance of a laridae is a little different from sea gulls; however, they are in the same family. They share most of the physiological structures which evolved with the sea.
 
The appearance of the yacht is based on the moment when a laridae is starting to fly. The design of the yacht also imitates the feathers and bones of laridaes. For example, the feathers flying against the wind present the speed while flying upward. The cavity of bones of laridaes represents the cavity of the yacht. By switching air outlets, the wind can flow through the whole yacht. The natural wind is definitely more comfortable and healthier for riders. 
 
The Y-style hull does lessen the effect of gravity. The power was set on the end of the hull, which intends to show that feathers are the main power of the yacht. The concept of layers of feathers is used for the design of stairs. Moreover, the hull was installed with flexible solar thin films which can absorb sunlight. The sunlight can be used for electrochromic glasses. When inside the hull, you can choose the transparent level by switching the cover. It is a place where you can enjoy the warm sunlight, and keep your privacy as well.
