Guide
Technical equipment must operate reliably even when the exterior brief calls for an exceptionally clean yacht. Antenna height, enclosure materials, mast geometry and visible finishes therefore require close coordination between styling and technical performance.

Guide
Antennas and communications equipment do not always need to dominate the mast. Selected hardware can be concealed or visually absorbed within the superstructure, provided the exterior architecture leaves appropriate technical zones, access and material conditions.

Satellite hardware can significantly affect the upper silhouette of a yacht. Conventional domes, compact antennas and flat-panel receivers create very different exterior-design opportunities, from visible technical clusters to almost seamless integration.

Guide
Radar masts often share the highest deck with guest lounges, hardtops and skylights. Their supports and equipment need sufficient technical space without disrupting views, daylight or the architectural quality of the sundeck below.

Guide
The mast is often the highest and most technically concentrated part of a superyacht, making it an important component of the exterior silhouette. Height, rake, width and support geometry should work with the superstructure rather than appearing as equipment added above it.
