The luxurious, lightning-fast yachts of Andrea Vallicelli, the
unparalleled master of boat design
For 40 years, Andrea Vallicelli and his studio have conceived some of
the most daring yacht designs in the history of the craft. His creations
have been so influential that a history of Vallicelli is a history of
the boating world in that same 40-year span.
This substantial tome boasts more than 300 photographs and drawings that
showcase the work of the designer for the storied Azzurra team. Here,
Vallicelli shows us not only the boats of his studio, and how they were
conceived and made, but in general demonstrates how yacht design has
always been based on a constant intermingling between innovation and
intuition of the past and how, precisely for this reason, it remains one
of design's greatest expressions.
