Thanks for posting the comparison of Vic 1 & 2.

I have a novice's question re yacht design. My question is based on my observation that the same names seem to repeat over and over in the superyacht new-build announcements (Winch, Heywood et al).

I can understand that with yards there exist substantial natural barriers to competition so I can understand why an entrentched Lurrsen might dominate, but with design where the capital is primarily intelectual/creative I'm suprised by the lack of diversity.

If that is a fair observation, why do you think it is this way?

PS - I will understand if it is not politically wise to respond.
