Overview
This international conference follows a continuing series of successful RINA conferences on the design, construction and operation of sailing and motor yachts. However, this is the first conference to focus on the unique aspects of super and mega yachts.
The demand for luxury motor and sail yachts has increased rapidly in recent years. This has only been matched by the increase in size and complexity of vessels being designed and built. Existing definitions of what constitutes a super yacht seem outdated, with vessels in excess of 150m already built. This growth in size and complexity coupled with the new technologies becoming available bring new challenges requiring innovative solutions.
Today's clients are requiring ever greater levels of comfort and luxury, not only in terms of the vessel fittings and styling but also in the vessels behaviour whilst underway and at anchor. Many vessels are now used for charter and this has implications for the way in which the vessel is designed and classed.
