CARL PERSAK TO SPEAK AT THE SUPERYACHT DESIGN SYMPOSIUM

Early next week Superyacht owners, yacht designers and representatives of the leading shipyards will gather in Palm Beach, FL to discuss and debate the latest developments and issues facing the industry at the Superyacht Design Symposium. Carl Persak will join designer Tim Heywood and Hugo van Wieringen of Azure Naval Architects to present the topic, “Tenders: How do these essential toys influence and constrain the design of a yacht and how can they be stowed and launched efficiently?” Using the 281-foot motoryacht Cakewalk’s full beam tender bay as a case study, Carl will discuss overall location, styling and engineering considerations for Superyacht tender bays and tenders.
