A wave ahead

The great history of Italian boating owes much to Baglietto, a brand that last year celebrated 170 years of heritage, vision, and mastery.
From its origins in Varazze to its modern production hubs in Marina di Carrara and La Spezia, Baglietto has built nearly every type of vessel imaginable: always with unmistakable elegance, innovation, and soul.

Today, Baglietto continues to honor its legacy while shaping the future of yachting. With an order book worth half a billion euros and yachts scheduled through 2028, the company maintains its ideal scale: 6–7 bespoke masterpieces per year, just enough to ensure absolute quality, without ever compromising its DNA.

Because Baglietto is more than a shipyard. It’s a lineage of passion, duty, and devotion to the sea.

The brand new Swan 128 is a true milestone for Nautor Swan, the pinnacle of the Swan Maxi Line and the result of an extraordinary effort from our entire shipyard team.

As CEO Giovanni Pomati says, “We consider the new Swan 128 the ultimate expression of our evolution. She combines the purity of our design lines with comfortable interiors and a wide use of advanced technologies. We are truly proud and see this yacht as a benchmark in the world of maxi sailing.”

With naval architecture by Germán Frers, sleek deck styling from Micheletti+Partners, and interiors by Misa Poggi, the Swan 128 embodies refined craftsmanship and technological innovation. Her shape was optimized through advanced CFD studies by Cape Horn Engineering, ensuring both speed and exceptional handling.
Designed and built at our historic BTC in Pietarsaari, she carries forward the lineage of the Swan 88 and Swan 108, yet stands as something entirely new.

Every Swan 128 is a personal statement: the generous owner’s area at the bow is fully customizable, offering the freedom to create a truly one-of-a-kind yacht.
Elegance. Performance. Identity.

🇦🇺 Tom Slingsby back where it all begins: alone on a dinghy in Lake Garda.

There’s something poetic about seeing one of the world’s greatest sailors flying across the water on a tiny Moth. The best in our sport all started this way: one person, one boat, one instinct. And in the end, even on a 100-person crew, the captain is always alone with the decisions.

Slingsby is no stranger to high stakes. He was the strategist behind Oracle’s legendary comeback against Emirates Team New Zealand in the first foiling America's Cup , the moment upwind foiling changed sailing forever. He dominated the Laser class with three world titles and an Olympic gold, won the Sydney–Hobart on the line, and later led Australia to victory in the first SailGP season.

And he’s still a master of flight, like every great champion he can’t resist the pull of the Moth, a three-meter rocket that skims the water at 20 knots and delivers pure adrenaline.

As 2025 gains momentum, the Asia-Pacific yachting scene is evolving. Once dominated by Hong Kong, the region is now seeing fresh waves from emerging markets like Indonesia, Vietnam, and Hainan, each carving out their place on the global yachting map.

• Hong Kong: Slowing demand as infrastructure and political headwinds take their toll.
• Indonesia: A maritime paradise awakening, with new marinas and international brands investing in its 17,000-island archipelago.
• Vietnam: Rising fast, with Ha Long Bay welcoming its first charter superyacht.
• Hainan, China: Transforming into a tax-free free trade port with growing yachting infrastructure.
• Taiwan: Quietly flourishing as both a builder and destination, with record crowds at its 2024 Boat Show.

«We have to work together with the yachting organisations and the local authorities to make everybody conscious of the positive influence of yachting and high-end tourism connected to yachting on the economic development of Hong Kong». - Luca Cristino, who recently joined Simpson Marine as executive chairman following the company’s sale to Sanlorenzo.

The next chapter of Asia-Pacific yachting is about shifting power bases, untapped cruising grounds, and bold new players.

⚓️ Where do you see the region’s yachting capital of the future?

There’s a fresh wave in the world of superyacht design and it’s all about going lighter, faster, and smarter.
The latest generation of sailing superyachts (40m–60m and beyond) are redefining performance with reduced displacement, simplified sail plans, and innovative engineering. The result? Higher speed, lower costs, and effortless handling.

A key player in this transformation: the pivoting keel! A refined evolution of classic technology that delivers:
▪️ Up to 40% weight reduction
▪️ Simpler mechanics (just one actuating cylinder!)
▪️ Deeper drafts for performance, and shallower drafts for easy coastal access
▪️ Improved safety as the keel can rotate aft during grounding, minimizing damage
This clever system combines cutting-edge hydrodynamics with sailor-friendly functionality. Lighter is cheaper. Easier is better.

It was a moment suspended in time, the encounter between two great storytellers of photography. Gianni Berengo Gardin, the poet of human life and daily moments, and Carlo Borlenghi, the eye of the sea and regattas.
Different worlds, yet united by one deep current: a love for boats, the sea, and the craft of photography.
For Carlo, meeting Gianni was more than admiration. It was coming face to face with the man who inspired his career. “I was looking at his pictures and wanted to live his life,” he confessed, standing before the door of Berengo Gardin’s Milan studio, a treasure chest of negatives, model boats, and stories that shaped It

Gianni worked with film until the end, printing by hand, believing that “a good photo tells a story, it’s intelligent, not just beautiful.” He called photography craftsmanship, something you feel in your hands, not on a screen.

And even as the world rushed into digital and AI, he reminded us:
“A photo constructed with Photoshop is no longer a photograph, it’s an image. And with artificial intelligence, photography as we knew it might end.”

Gianni Berengo Gardin’s passing marks the end of an era, but his vision endures in every image that captures truth, humanity, and the fleeting poetry of real life.
Two lives, two lenses, one shared truth: passion is everything.
