http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/10/zyrd_bmw_ych.jpg (http://www.autoblog.com/photos/zeydon-bmw-designworks-yacht/)Much like its Porsche Design counterpart, there isn't really anything BMW DesignWorks won't try to make better, from an espresso machine (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/18/bmw-builds-ultimate-espresso-machine-for-starbucks/) to a custom interior for a Boeing 787 Dreamliner (http://www.autoblog.com/2007/04/27/bmw-studio-designs-jet-for-fictional-russian-billionaires/). So it was only a matter of time before they put pen to paper and created a yacht, this particular example being a 60-foot offshore performance sailboat for the Zeydon boatyard of Belgium.
Meant, as with any BMW, to be just almost everything to almost everyone, the yacht, christened "WYSIWYG," is a regatta-oriented sailer as fast as it is luxurious. And no, your eyes don't deceive you: it's blue. Why? Because according to the heads of Zeydon, "it perfectly communicates the characteristics that determine our corporate identity: progressiveness, originality, courage, strict authenticity and infinite emotion." And it's got wooden racing stripes. Click the image at right for a high-res version and follow the jump for the press release.
