Free fuel for life

Sustainability is surging in yachting, leading to a greater drive for superyachts and megayachts that can fully demonstrate their green credentials. Stepping up to the plate, naval architecture firm Tillberg Design of Sweden (TDoS) has developed the trimaran Aegir 2.0, which it proudly promotes as having "the lowest possible environmental footprint" in today's batch of new superyacht designs.The concept is an enhanced, clean, wind-powered version of TDoS' previous superyacht Aegir, launched in 2019 and named after the Old Norse god of the sea. "The most noticeable difference to Aegir is the change of rig system to a DynaRig," Daniel Nerhagen, TDoS partner and yacht director, tells Ship & Boat International. "It's more effective and easier to operate compared to a conventional ketch-style rig." The DynaRig concept is, in his opinion, a feature "whose time has come".
