The yacht Dar was the winner of the Judges’ Commendation for Best Technical Achievement in 2019 at the Boat International Design & Innovation Awards.
Luiz de Basto envisaged a superstructure almost entirely clad with glass; builder Oceanco rose to the inherent challenges. The yacht required 186 frameless glass panels spread over several decks, all of identical width but many curved and including doors and seamlessly abutting painted surfaces. For these accomplishments and more, DAR receives a Judges’ Commendation for Technical Achievement.
