Lucrative Italian boat builder, Benetti, is setting new industry standards by announcing their adoption of artificial intelligence in their yacht construction process. This venture is being undertaken in collaboration with the Quinn University Consortium, adding an academic edge to the technological transition. Plans are laid out to commence integration at Benetti’s world-class Livorno facility by 2026 - setting a firm deadline while introducing an anticipative air of suspense in the yachting industry.
This significant step towards a smarter future could streamline the route to customised luxury yachts, creating a splash in traditional production methods. But let it be known, Benetti isn’t just throwing a metaphorical coin into the sea; they are diving head-first into uncharted waters to encourage the marine industry as a whole to follow suit.
Effortlessly merging style and performance, the illustrious Wally 93 sailing yacht, Bullitt, is now ready to set sail under new ownership. Constructed by the esteemed Ferretti Group and delivered in 2018, Bullitt is a masterpiece in international maxi-class racing. Meticulously constructed in unidirectional carbon fibre, this yacht stands as a testament to the ambitious creations of Italian designer Luca Bassani and famous naval architects Judel/Vrolijk & Co.
Taking the essence of yacht racing to the next level, Bullitt features a remarkably light volume of just 35GT, designed to maximize racing efficiency. The innovative and futuristic design has bagged Bullitt notable podium finishes at prestigious regattas such as the RORC Nelson Cup, the North Sound Maxi Regatta BVI, and the Rolex Maxi World Championship YCCS.
