It is great to be part of such a innovative team at Rob Doyle Design pushing what is possible in Superyacht Design. This is a great article in the Financial Times on “Superyachts aim to go green-but at what cost” highlighting the direction Doyle Design is taking to achieve Zero Emission.

This is a really fabulous and beautiful project developed by Rob Doyle Design in 2015. So close to being built, a yacht with efficient hull lines with timeless classic profile lines and superstructure. Maybe now is the time!!!!!!

Amazing to see Cyclos III for Sale for €4.25m. I think that this was the best yacht I was involved in the design of at Ron Holland, I certainly enjoyed the few sails I had on it. Would be an outstanding Regatta Yacht. First launched 33 years ago and incredibly well built by Wolter Huisman.
