78 m • Utopia

Inspired by the idea of Utopia as a highly desirable and problem-free place in the world, Vripack Yacht Design Studio held a brainstorming session to identify the most pressing environmental problems relating to yachts. A key one, the team concluded, was waste.
 
Although relatively modest in size, yachts nonetheless produce enough waste – both of the obvious physical sort and with respect to exhaust gasses – to be of concern. The mission was decided: design a yacht with an environmental footprint as harmless and as faint as that left by a human walking along a sandy beach.
