In Italy even the Coast Guard looks cooler. Well that?s if they put in a call to Federico Pacini and ask him to pen their next frigate. The ONDE 300 yacht was created by the Italian designer as a 92-metre (300-foot) luxury megayacht. But he also took the time to conceive a Coast Guard version complete with weaponry, helicopters and hovercraft.
The ONDA 300, which translates as WAVE 300 in Italian, was clearly inspired by the rolling curve of a wave. Its impressive feature line rises out of the bow of the ship, runs to 3/4 the height of the vessel and then trails back down to end at the stern. The line of the upper deck mimics this line and together they provide a fairly unique appearance.
