I'm no artist or yacht designer, just an old captain, but these look like the european design that's been hot since the early 90's/ late 80's taken to the max. I wonder if the 40 knot 150gph yachts are still the future or are they becoming the past. I'm hearing rumblings about fuel efficiency, variable and different fuel sources,different propulsion systems, more stability. Things like reverse bows, bulbous bows, different hull designs. More radical thinking like project sigma. This looks like a good artist. It would be interesting to see him/her doing something more radical rather than just expanding on what's become just more of the same. Again, I'm out of my field here so please forgive my ignorance, but I'm from a generation where you could tell a Hattaras from a Broward from 10 miles off. Now everything looks pretty much the same with a few notable exceptions.
