The yacht designers roundtable we organised throughout 2021 has been turned into the Sustainable Yacht Design Taskforce, and launched at the Monaco Yacht Show 2021 last month. For the first time naval architects, interior and exterior designers work together, and in particular on the topic of sustainability.
The taskforce values ensure an output driven and collaborative spirit. Participants will actively share knowledge, experience and assessment results to utilise their key position in order to drive more sustainability through yacht design. Sixteen already committed and call upon their peers to join to accelerate towards a sustainable future.
The first taskforce meeting is planned for 24 November. Interested in joining? Please get in touch for more information.
The Water Revolution team is recently joined by Jelena Dolecek, a freshly graduated Materials Scientist and Engineer from the technical university in Lausanne (EPFL).

Welcome to the Revolution!
Bound to be shared an update in November this year during METSTRADE and The Superyacht Forum, the Yacht Environmental Transparency Index (YETI) is in a crucial fleet review testing phase for arriving at a YETI 1.0 version. YETI will not only enable rewarding serious efforts of reducing environmental impact, but it will also define a new arena for the yachting sector to compete on in delivering the most environmentally friendly operating yachts for their clients.

There has been a recent change at the Water Revolution Foundation board of directors. We warmly welcome Carlos Vidueira, who’s taking Wayne Huizenga III’s board seat. Wayne has started his own business outside of yachting and we wish him lots of success and thank Wayne for his valuable service on the board. Carlos continues to bring the US perspective and that of marina and refit services to the team.
“As the Chief Operating Officer of the Safe Harbor Superyacht Division, I am responsible for a growing list of facilities that include Rybovich, Lauderdale Marine Center and Newport Shipyard. Working together with Water Revolution Foundation, I am certain that we could jointly find new and exciting implementation and early adoption opportunities for sustainability in, not only the superyacht segment, but also in other boating categories,” said Carlos Vidueira.
