Combining style with functionality, Mylin IV was the first Feadship to have a bulbous bow, designed and developed in cooperation with the Dutch Maritime Research Institute (MARIN). Although such bows had been used on commercial ships for over forty years, they offered a 10% reduction in hull resistance at top speed for Mylin IV, and three years later, White Rabbit - allowing yachts to reach speeds of 20 and 18.3 knots respectively.
