Innovative materials, high performance and sober yet refined décor. This is the new 30-metre from the south african yard, combining a modern look with a traditional and seafaring soul.

To overcome physical constraints and go to sea is possible today thanks to new design solutions that eliminate barriers to mobility. Here the designer explains one such yacht.

Photovoltaic panels, electric engines, hydrogen propulsion and furnishing made with renewable raw materials, that is the eco-sustainable project by some Milan Ied students: a 47-metre island.

A 40- and 46-metre version were developed for a degree thesis with the living concept created for a nautical enviroment and the barriers between man and the sea broken down. Its author explains.

Designed for family use, the new project by Luca Dini focuses on the functionality of the internal spaces where the nautical elements are moderated by the modern, warm style.

A growing market, new trends but above all the environment: these are the themes of the future for Marino Alfani and other Master's in Yacht Design students at Milan's Polytechnic.
