At the same time, yacht ownership is being redefined by a younger, more adventuresome, less conservative customer. With an increasing number of industrial designers, land-based architects, energy consultants and transportation designers collaborating on new projects, this edition’s yacht designs and interviews represent an exciting explosion of influences and possibilities.
