My entry point to yachting was winning
the Young Designer of the Year 2008.
I’ve been into boating since childhood,
so that was the cherry on top.
We need more fresh blood in the
industry, and designers need to listen
to clients without any ego steering
their own philosophy or style.
In 20 years we’ll see smaller yachts, but
yachts that are more individualised –
and more extreme designs pushing
the limits in terms of technology.
