2. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design From where to… where? Design vs. Life cycle Stages and Actions

3. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design The Design Process Set an example in the first step. Ability to provide a better and more efficient product. Look beyond the yard.

4. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design Design for efficiency Use of green energies for propulsion. Auxiliary power. Reduce power requirements Energy recovery

5. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design Construction Alternatives to conventional GRP. Looking back at nature. –Green matrices –“New” Reinforcements Construction with recycled materials. Managing industrial waste.

6. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design Construction

7. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design Operating in a “green” way Waste management.

8. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design Operating in a “green” way Clean propulsion. The example or interior waters. Assisted main and auxiliary power. The design concept effect on efficiency. Reducing power requirements. Friction reduction.

9. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design Operating in a “green” way

10. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design Operating in a “green” way Anti fouling. Departing from copper or TBT based solutions. Are biocides really needed? Ablative solutions. Acting on the interface materials. The ultrasonic solutions. Nature’s example.

11. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design At the end of the yacht’s life How we get there. An example. Graveyard marinas. Administrations control and help.

12. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design At the end of the yacht’s life Recycling: the GRP coming problem. Working solutions. Volume. Finding incentives and inducers.

13. The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design The challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design  Design for a life cycle
