Reaching the highest score for the absence of noise and vibration on board, Admiral Yachts’ 180-foot (55-meter) Geco, received the RINA award for the most silent super-yacht of 2020 in Comfort Class.
With 160 years of experience in the maritime industry, RINA is a multinational company that helps companies build strong successful businesses.
Dynamiq’s M/Y Jetsetter not only looks good, but she also performs at the top of her class.
The 144-foot (44-meter) Green Voyager is a high-stakes project. Launched with fanfare at the 2010 Monaco Yacht Show, it attracted lots of attention with its fresh styling by Axis Yacht Design and ambitious environmental goals. It was the first project of this size to try and achieve the RINA Green Star Plus designation.
You may remember that earlier this year we presented you with “a splendid surprise” from Viareggio-based Rossinavi. The superyacht Numptia has a fantastic interior by Achille Salvagni and styling by Tommaso Spadolini. Spadolini also collaborated with Rossinavi on the beautiful 148-foot (45-meter) Aslec 4.
Introduced in Monaco, the Sanlorenzo 42 EXP is a 138-foot-5-inch steel and aluminum expedition vessel. One has already sold. While designed to reach remote destinations and survive severe weather at all latitudes, its robust nature does not exclude elegance.
This is not Wally’s first attempt to push the bar. But its latest creation indeed broke records. Launched in Ancona, Italy, the 165-foot (50-meter) Better Place is the world’s largest carbon sloop and also the first sailing yacht to earn RINA’s Green Star additional certification (for minimal environmental impact).
You might think that by their very nature, sailing yachts would qualify as “green” machines. Who knew a vessel powered primarily by the wind could be judged greener still? The recently launched 164-foot (50-meter) Wally Better Place is the first sailing yacht to receive RINA’s Green Star environmental notation, in part, because she is equipped with the latest Siemens/Caterpillar diesel-electric propulsion system.
