PROOF OF CONCEPT

摘要

PHILIPPE BRIAND IS AMONG THE WORLD'S most celebrated yacht designers, known for his work with Perini Navi, Turquoise, Admiral and more. He pushes the bounds of innovation, most recently last year, when he unveiled a Flyacht concept for two-person sailing, based on the AC75 class of America's Cup foiling designs. His latest motoryacht to launch is the 190-foot Feadship Najiba - the second-largest aluminum yacht in the Dutch yard's history, reportedly capable of cruising at 12 knots while burning just 3 gallons of fuel per nautical mile. (And, no, none of those numbers are typos.)
