Yacht Owner during the launching ceremonies

“Great design is powerful. It has the ability to touch the eye, the mind, and the heart. It provokes comment, thought, and reaction. The Concord airplane, the architecture of Le Corbusier, and the sculptures of Brancusi have all changed our way of seeing and thinking. In modern yacht design, we feel that Germán Frers is an artist without a peer. His sense of proportion and line is impeccable, never compromising form or function. He blends esthetics and performance, achieving speed, beauty, and power – all essential to the joy of sailing”
