Yachting needs to be moreout
there in terms of propulsion,
energy usage and new materials.
In order to boost new builds in
the futuremaybe we could have
something inspired by the sharing
economy where one entity would
handle the whole thing – sell shares
before they start building, save the
owners from the hassle of the build
and then manage every aspect; for
those who want the ownership
experience without the capital
investment, a bit like NetJets.
Our generation want a boatto use
in many situations and that is easy
to maintain. We need to rethink
construction and materials so
there’s less that can break.
