Speculating the future of watercraft innovations, the collaboration between Furf Design Studio and designer Cesar Pieri unveils a new sailboat <\/a>created to have minimal impact on nature, both environmentally and visually. Titled \u2018Second Sun\u2019, the sailboat has a transparent hull made from algae-based biopolymer, while the rest of the internal structure and fabric are made with plastic taken from the oceans. The transparency of the sail blends with the waves and sea creatures, reinforcing the connection between the sailor and the sea and creating a new experience for sailing. Moreover, as the project\u2019s name \u2018Second Sun\u2019 suggests, the mainsail\u2019s round shape and yellow color represent a second sun, inspiring a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collaborative innovation by Furf Design studio<\/a><\/strong>, and designer<\/a><\/strong> Cesar Pieri focused on using suitable and environmentally friendly materials within the internal structure. The fabric is made out of polluting plastic retrieved from the oceans to raise awareness of the everlasting environmental impact of plastic water pollution. Diving into the functionality of the sailboat, it is inspired by famous America\u2019s Cup sailboats and circular winged aircraft where the avant-garde wing-shaped sail turns and curves to increase or decrease thrust. Second Sun is an iconic sailboat developed with the hope to bring more light for a conscious future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
