Following a sensational debut in September 2025, Geneva has rapidly established itself as one of SailGP’s most compelling natural stadiums. Last year’s inaugural edition drew a sold-out crowd, with more than 8,500 ticketed fans lining the lakefront to witness F50 foiling catamarans slicing across the water at astonishing speeds. The atmosphere was electric, the racing razor-close, and the setting unforgettable — even if local hopes were dashed when the Germany SailGP Team, presented by Deutsche Bank, denied Switzerland victory on home waters.

The legendary Benetti shipyard has once again made headlines in the yachting world. This time, it’s not just the lengths they’re going to in terms of luxury, but the lengths they’re going to sustainably. The Italian shipyard has proudly launched two 67-metre superyachts boasting hybrid propulsion systems from its trailblazing B.Now series.
The first of these titans, christened Symmetry, made quite a splash. Three weeks later, its dashing sibling Dagger did the same. True marvels of marine engineering, these superyachts represent not just the extra mile in luxury but, significantly, a crucial stride towards more sustainable modes of transport at sea.
The exterior design of these aluminium and steel giants was crafted by longstanding collaborator, RWD. The minds behind Reymond Langton Design and Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design worked their magic on the interiors. The result? An exquisitely designed, conscientiously powered pair of mammoth yachts that truly capture the zeitgeist.
