The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design
From where to… where?
• Design vs. Life cycle• Stages and Actions
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.
The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design
Design for efficiency
• Use of green energies for propulsion.• Auxiliary power.• Reduce power requirements• Energy recovery
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.
The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design
Construction
The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design
Operating in a “green” way
• Waste management.
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.
The Challenges for a Sustainable Yacht Design
Operating in a “green” way
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.
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.
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.
