I think the general up-turn of the yacht market would be another factor leading to lack of evolution. Twenty years ago super-yachts were for the very elite, but over time they are becoming more and more accesible (relatively speaking of course) as more people get larger fortunes and "want it now". It's far easier to quickly sell something "safe" than it is to sell something revolutionary. I mean, look at the M-140 and Wallypower... both have been on the market for how long already? On the other hand, Trinity signed five contracts at FLIBS alone.
