The autumn issue of <a href="https://issuu.com/superyachttimes/docs/how_to_build_it_-_issue_9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">How to Build It</a> has arrived and is available to read on <a href="https://issuu.com/superyachttimes/docs/how_to_build_it_-_issue_9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Issuu</a>. Now in its ninth edition, the magazine continues to explore challenges and innovations across the superyacht industry, which has become increasingly subject to environmental, economic and geopolitical pressures. In <a href="https://issuu.com/superyachttimes/docs/how_to_build_it_-_issue_9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Issue 9</a>, the editorial team explores how the industry must rethink and adapt to changing fundamentals.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377656/image/large-7b8ec8422e251d3a920a1137aaef81d9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377656">In this issue, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5525" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Antonini Navi (Company)">Antonini Navi</a> in La Spezia, proves that bold thinking isn't only reserved for the biggest boats, while <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/47" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Delta Marine (Company)">Delta Marine</a>'s <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/12551" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Project Zembra 45.3m (148'7&quot;)Delta Marine2026">Project Zembra</a>&nbsp;takes an adventurous approach to what an explorer yacht can be: in this case a 48-metre yacht built in composite with the payload of a much larger vessel, able to carry everything ranging from a mini sub to a seaplane.&nbsp;Another boundary-breaking vessel is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6355" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="REV Ocean194.9m (639'5&quot;)Vard Group AS2027">REV Ocean</a>.&nbsp;With over a decade of development, this 195-metre research superyacht represents the confluence of luxury, science, and environmental advocacy. A reminder that true innovation often happens on long timelines, she is being built thanks to the resources and patience of a man who could afford to wait for the right solutions, which are rarely the fastest ones.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377659/image/large-917db4558281a7d325adb499366bdfdf.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377659">Avant-garde projects don’t always reach the water. Our revisit of Neonemo, a 2008 concept for Tom Perkins by Ken Freivokh in collaboration with naval architect Patrick Bray, reveals a technical design that was ahead of its time. Though shelved due to circumstance, its innovations remain relevant today and we're reminded how some of the best ideas aren’t always the most visible.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/377658/image/large-cc0654deaa8d754691ac012a62f2197e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/377658">The common thread in all these stories is a willingness to rethink convention.
