Superyachts aim to go green β€” but at what cost? Boat builders are addressing the environmental concerns of luxury-vessel owners in an effort to curb huge carbon emissions and to show they care about the planet

It is great to be part of such a innovative team at Rob Doyle Design pushing what is possible in Superyacht Design. This is a great article in the Financial Times on β€œSuperyachts aim to go green-but at what cost” highlighting the direction Doyle Design is taking to achieve Zero Emission.

This is a really fabulous and beautiful project developed by Rob Doyle Design in 2015. So close to being built, a yacht with efficient hull lines with timeless classic profile lines and superstructure. Maybe now is the time!!!!!!

Amazing to see Cyclos III for Sale for €4.25m. I think that this was the best yacht I was involved in the design of at Ron Holland, I certainly enjoyed the few sails I had on it. Would be an outstanding Regatta Yacht. First launched 33 years ago and incredibly well built by Wolter Huisman.

32m S/Y Naos new rig, It was amazing to rework the sail plan, stability and balance, giving her a much more powerful and versatile sail plan (old rig highlighted in RED in the sail plan). Staff at Rob Doyle Design were part of the original design team at Ron Holland Design.

An incredible weekend as guests of Team New Zealand and Southern Spar at the Americas Cup. Thanks for your amazing hospitality. Saturdays racing was probably the best if the Cup so far. Unfortunately Sunday was a washout.
