Highlights include talks on nuclear propulsion for superyachts, practical implementation of environmental regulations and the impact of artificial intelligence on marine marketing.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/398843/image/large-6dc1f9f52e49eb7c733aae6fb9f13505.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/398843">Alongside the exhibition, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/346" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade - 2026">Metstrade</a> week will once again host industry events including The Superyacht Forum, which takes place from 16 to 17 November under the theme Accelerate the Evolution.Registration is free until 1 November 2026, after which an online fee of €90 (excluding VAT) will apply.

The final design combines powerful hull lines with low resistance in light air, while maintaining form stability and control as conditions build. Performance optimisation is further enhanced by a generous J dimension, allowing a larger genoa for improved acceleration and strong reaching performance alongside a dedicated jib-top configuration.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399048/image/large-cacd9ba2729d515c3f047ddc9cc48f68.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399048">In addition, two rig setups are available, offering a wide spectrum of sailing styles: from relaxed, family-oriented downwind cruising to fully crewed, rail-down racing. According to the yard, the yacht is expected to compete at the upper end of Maxi Class 3, with a projected IRC rating of 1.480.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399046/image/large-e5d8157d48c3c132df83c7143a2f7c96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399046">Flexible loft-style interior designThe first hull of the series introduces a striking loft-style arrangement, where the galley, dining area and saloon flow into a single open space. The design prioritises light, volume and sociability, creating an onboard atmosphere more reminiscent of a contemporary apartment than a traditional yacht interior.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399049/image/large-0b668346ea7c430d52595626418f680e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399049">Rather than committing to a fixed layout, the concept has been intentionally designed to offer flexibility. Owners can opt for a semi-enclosed or fully enclosed galley configuration, while the main saloon can be tailored with either individual lounge armchairs or a more relaxed extended sofa arrangement. This modular approach allows each yacht to reflect its owner’s sailing and lifestyle preferences.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399050/image/large-0585f9e8a143267419686e85d47f0d77.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399050">Interior designer Mark Tucker from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/329" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Design Unlimited (Company)">Design Unlimited</a> noted that the concept “invites the next owner to take it somewhere completely their own.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399043/image/large-4653d58efe52f51e550d0b90946700f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399043"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399044/image/large-18b83df8c0f5b2224850118d7fb488d0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399044">Drawing on experience from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/10936" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Raven34.0m (111'7&quot;)Baltic Yachts2023">Raven</a>, the record-breaking foil-assisted 111-footer delivered in 2023, construction of the first hull is progressing using a carbon fibre female mould. The method allows tighter tolerances, reduced fairing, and improved overall performance. The use of prepreg carbon further enhances weight reduction and structural efficiency. The first hull will feature a 6.5-metre beam and a displacement of 29 tons.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399042/image/large-2c88150ed3813ffab581ec62879f0207.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399042"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/399041/image/large-0e4d08534bd2b91e9b226151299b8084.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/399041">Owners of the Café Racer 80 series will be able to select from a palette of bold hull colours, including red, yellow, deep grey, and turquoise. Lamination is scheduled to commence in August, following the Finnish summer break, with delivery expected in summer 2027. Male plug construction is currently underway as part of preparation for the female carbon tooling.
