Designed for yachts over 40 metres, the Origin 71 expands Evene Tenders’ Origin Series with a refined balance of performance, craftsmanship and sustainability. Seating up to 13 guests, the new tender features Navicork FD01 cork decking from Amorim Cork Solutions, reinforcing the role of advanced natural materials in contemporary luxury design.

Decking that redefines the experience on board 

The Origin 71 tender carries forward the meticulous attention to detail that defines the entire Origin Series. Its layout is conceived to balance practicality and comfort, combining generous seating, discreet storage and smooth circulation throughout the deck. On the water, the hull delivers a quiet and stable ride, while every element on board reflects a deliberate approach to understated, timeless luxury.

At the heart of this experience is the Navicork FD01 cork deck, which plays a key role in shaping the atmosphere on board. Natural and soft underfoot, the surface remains cool in the sun and secure in all conditions. Beyond its tactile qualities, the deck adds warmth and visual depth, connecting contemporary marine engineering with a sense of authenticity and craftsmanship.

Design versatility 

Navicork FD01 is offered in two distinct design expressions that complement the vessel’s overall language. A traditional plank layout highlights classic marine elegance, while a bespoke contour design, inspired by Ordnance Survey coordinates surrounding the factory, introduces a modern and sculptural identity that reflects Evene Tenders’ connection to place and heritage.

A natural choice for sustainable craftsmanship 

For Evene Tenders, the use of cork is both a design and an environmental choice. Navicork FD01 is produced from cork harvested in regenerative cork oak forests, where the bark is carefully removed without cutting down the tree. This natural cycle allows the forest to keep absorbing carbon dioxide, preserving biodiversity and maintaining soil health.

Because cork stores more CO₂ than is released during production, Navicork FD01 carries a negative carbon footprint, contributing to a measurable reduction in the vessel’s overall environmental impact.[1]   

In the Origin 71, cork demonstrates its full potential as a sustainable performance material. It delivers comfort, resilience and safety while embodying a renewable origin that strengthens the link between luxury and environmental responsibility. The integration of Navicork FD01 underscores Evene Tenders’ commitment to using advanced natural materials that enhance both the quality and the meaning of marine design.  

This approach has also earned industry recognition, with Evene Tenders shortlisted for Sustainability Project of the Year at the IBI Boat Builder Awards.

Through this collaboration, the Origin 71 stands as a clear example of how innovation at sea can begin with respect for nature showing that the future of boatbuilding lies in the harmony between technology, craftsmanship and sustainability. 

The unveiling of the Origin 71 also caught the attention of Formula 1 driver Esteban Ocon, who recently visited Williams Marine Group to experience the tender firsthand. Known for his precision and focus on performance, Ocon took the opportunity to test drive the new model and explore its design and handling on the water. Check out his experience here.
