“Segundo Sol”
The transparent hull made of microalgae-based biopolymer mimics the water, almost invisible. It looks and is part of the sea, like its waves and sea creatures. It allows an experience of unity between the sailor and the sea, a bond that develops into care.
The iconic round sail stays in the sky like another sun. Internal structure and fabric is made with plastic taken from the oceans: what once polluted it, now helps in its awareness and preservation. Functionally inspired by famous America’s Cup sailboats and circular winged aircrafts, the avant-garde wing-shaped sail turns and curves to increase or decrease thrust.
An iconic sailboat developed with the hope to bring more light and boldness to design a more conscious future.
