Superyacht designers are a huge part of the innovation in the Marine industry, pushing the boundaries of what's possible. We take a look at some of the most innovative and daring designs of the last decade.&nbsp;
<h2>10 Of The Greatest Superyachts Of The Last Decade:</h2>
<h3>10. The Streets of Monaco</h3>
Designer: Nigel Gee
Design Year: 2011
Starting the list of best superyacht concepts might be the world&rsquo; most absurd yacht design. The world of mega yachts is known for its excess, however this British yacht design concept is even larger than Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich's 557-foot Eclipse.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.curbed.com/2013/7/15/10219720/inside-streets-of-monaco-the-worlds-most-absurd-yacht" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Streets of Monanco</a>&nbsp;superyacht was modeled after the glamorous Mediterranean city-state of Monaco and features exhaustive replicas of landmarks such as the Monte Carlo Casino and Hotel de Paris, as well as a beach-like swimming pool. The megayacht design offers a floating mini-city and is estimated to cost over $1billion to create.
&nbsp;
<h3>9. X-KID STUFF</h3>
Designer: Stefano Pastrovich&nbsp;
Design Year: 2015
For Monaco-based designer Stefano Pastrovich, the hangar is part of the everyday life of the yacht owner: quad, bikes, jeeps or motorbikes can be held in storage and driven directly from the sea to the land, and the inflatable and modular jetty simplifies travel for the modern explorer.&nbsp;<a href="http://www.superyachtnews.com/design/concept/3007076/xkid-stuff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The X-Kid Stuff superyacht</a> was designed as a true exploration vessel that can sail anywhere in the world, coping with hot and cold climates and capable of operating in the most adverse weather conditions.
&nbsp;
<h3>8. Star</h3>
Designer: Nigel Gee
Design Year: 2014
Next on the list is a second entry for designer Nigel Gee. Shaped like the top half of a star,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/yacht-design/wildest-yacht-concepts--25605/frame-27" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Star superyacht</a>&nbsp;provides access across eight decks to offer an incredible view. The 32-metre superyacht is taller than many yachts are long, measuring nearly 60 metres from the water to the top of the point, subverting traditional yacht design and pleasantly surprising those working in the Marine industry and superyacht fans everywhere.
&nbsp;
<h3>7. neWWave</h3>
Designer: Jaehoon Ahn
Design Year: 2017
Inspired by Middle Eastern architecture, the 87-metre&nbsp;<a href="https://www.behance.net/gallery/53457399/neWWave" target="_blank" rel="noopener">neWWave yacht</a>&nbsp;is made of aluminum and glass to create interesting shadows. The concept superyacht represents the symbol of wealth and luxury and aims to provide a five-star floating hotel experience. Designer Jaehoon Ahn challenged himself to accomplish a higher ceiling height with a higher profile whilst also producing one of the most beautiful superyachts in the world.
&nbsp;
<h3>6. Origami&nbsp;</h3>
Designer: George Lucian
Design Year: 2017
<a href="https://yachtharbour.com/news/george-lucian-introduces-his-100-meter-project-origami-2125?src=news_view_page_bar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Origami sailboat yacht</a>&nbsp;is designed for a futurist owner. Created by Monaco-based yacht designer George Lucian, the Origami is a revolution in terms of design, technology and environment. The 100-metre superyacht&rsquo;s paper-weight structure stands in stark contrast with its significant dimensions, making Origami one of the best superyacht concepts in the world.
&nbsp;
<h3>5. Eco Catamaran</h3>
Designer: Ren&eacute; Gabrielli
Design Year: 2016
Ren&eacute; Gabrielli experimented with a combination of luxury and ecology to present one of the most beautiful yachts in the world. The designer divided up various elements in his Eco Catamaran concept to save energy and drive the power and popularity of sustainability in the Marine industry.
<a href="https://catamaranguru.com/catamarans/catamaran-concepts/eco-catamaran-concept" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Eco Catamaran</a>&nbsp;is powered by electric turbines and lithium batteries, which will continuously charge thanks to solar panels covering one third of the yacht&rsquo;s surface. The concept combines solar power with wind energy harnessed by telescoping sails to become one of the most ambitious yacht projects.
&nbsp;
<h3>4. Stiletto</h3>
Designer:&nbsp;Ken Freivokh
Design Year: 2015
Fourth on the list of best superyacht concepts is the Stiletto superyacht. Presented as a rule-breaker,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.oceancoyacht.com/en/fleet/?id=36:stiletto-dp069" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Stiletto&nbsp;</a>was built with accommodation for 18 people and fully utilizes outdoor deck space to provide a luxury home on the water. This floating paradise is fully equipped with a two-storey lounge, a helipad, a glass lift and two swimming pools.
&nbsp;
<h3>3. Mauna Kea</h3>
Designer: Roberto Curt&oacute;
Design Year: 2017
In collaboration with the naval architect Mario Grasso of Navirex, Roberto Curt&oacute; designed an innovative and practical yacht in the&nbsp;<a href="https://yachtharbour.com/news/roberto-curt-1832" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mauna Kea</a>. Italian yacht designer Curt&oacute;, who has designed over 60 yachts for shipyards across the world, was inspired to create his largest yacht to date by the dormant volcano in Hawaii. The Mauna Kea volcano stands 4,207 m (13,802 ft) above sea level, and its peak marks the highest point in the state of Hawaii.
&nbsp;
<h3>2. Elyon</h3>
Designers: Demetrius and Dana Tanase
Design Year: 2018
Just missing out on the top spot of best superyacht concepts is one of the newest yacht designs.&nbsp;<a href="http://expleodesign.com/expleo-projects/elyon/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Elyon superyacht</a>&nbsp;spans 110 metres in length and was designed to accommodate up to 30 passengers. Its clean design and wide-open spaces offer a sensation of space and freedom. This futuristic and beautiful yacht concept is still looking for an enthusiast buyer.
&nbsp;
<h3>1. Black Swan</h3>
Designer: Timur Bozca
Design Year: 2016
<a href="http://www.timurbozca.com/black-swan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Black Swan superyacht</a>&nbsp;was designed by the innovative Timur Bozca, who is also the creator of the Isurus Power Yacht and Cauta Super Sailing Yacht, and responsible for automotive designs such as the Bugatti Lucifer and Rolls Royce Phantom TB Gold Edition. The number one best superyacht concept mixes luxury and style with technology to provide a unique experience of travelling the world.

10 Best Superyacht Concepts

Your interview is the first impression your recruiter or hiring manager will have of you, and first impressions count for a lot.
<h1>Here are the ten worst mistakes you can make in a job interview:</h1>
<h3>1. Not Doing Your Research</h3>
First on the list of 10 biggest interview mistakes is not doing your research before the interview. A research failure or a lack of knowledge on the company or the job are the simplest mistakes you can avoid: spending half an hour looking at the company&rsquo;s website, web presence and social channels will provide a wealth of information. Being able to tell your interviewer exactly what the company does and prove you&rsquo;re interested in the company&rsquo;s vision and values can make the difference even between two highly experienced and motivated candidates.
&nbsp;
<h3>2. Turning Up Late</h3>
The first impression is the most difficult to make, and an interviewer never forgets. Even if you are late for a good reason, make sure you communicate with your interviewer before the time of the interview to tell them that you&rsquo;ll be late; communicating and apologising will show that you respect your interviewer and value their time.
&nbsp;
<h3>3. Lying</h3>
Exaggerating your accomplishments and experience can be tempting to ensure you give a positive impression, but beware: interviewers will find out if you lie during an interview. If the interview gets around to delicate topics, the best way to deal with the conversation is by being honest and mature enough to handle the questions properly. The hiring manager or prospective employers may call your references to verify your answers, and any untruths will be identified immediately. Because it puts your reputation at stake &ndash; not just with this interview, but throughout the industry you work in &ndash; lying is high on the list of biggest interview mistakes.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>4. Criticising a Previous Employer</h3>
Be positive and avoid criticising your previous employers during an interview. You can talk about what you would like to achieve and why this may not be possible in your current job, but never bad-mouth a current or previous employer. Criticising previous employers gives your interviewer the impression that you are difficult to work with, and you may lose your next job to someone who appears more likeable and easygoing.
&nbsp;
<h3>5. Giving the Wrong Reasons for Leaving</h3>
Giving the wrong reasons for leaving your previous job marks the mid-way point on the list of 10 biggest interview mistakes. Your interviewer knows that your last job wasn't perfect &ndash; otherwise you wouldn't be talking to them! &ndash; however, be careful of how you present your reasons for leaving. Remember: be positive and avoid personal comments about your current team or manager.
&nbsp;
<h3>6. Dressing Inappropriately</h3>
Find out about the dress code before the interview so you can adapt your outfit accordingly. Failing to adhere to the company&rsquo;s dress code will make the interviewer feel uncomfortable, and it&rsquo;s in your interest to look professional.
&nbsp;
<h3>7. Asking About Salary</h3>
Avoid asking about salary during an interview unless and until the interviewer mentions it. Otherwise, your interviewer will think that all you are interested in is how much you&rsquo;ll be paid. Many interviewers will want some details about your salary expectations after a successful first interview, so let them make the first move.
&nbsp;
<h3>8. Not Following Up After The Interview</h3>
At the end of an interview, you still have a formality to attend to. Send an email or letter thanking your interviewer for the opportunity and mention that you enjoyed meeting them and hope to be considered for the job. Not following up with a thank you letter can mean you miss a good opportunity to reinforce your interest about the job.
&nbsp;
<h3>9. Interrupting the Interviewer</h3>
Don&rsquo;t be rude and don&rsquo;t interrupt your interviewer. Listen carefully to gather all the information that you can and deliver interview answers that are precise and professional. Listening to your interviewer also prepares you to bounce back from unexpected or difficult questions and will make a good impression.
&nbsp;
<h3>10. Not Negotiating</h3>
Last on the list of biggest interview mistakes is&nbsp;<a href="https://www.job-interview-site.com/20-common-job-interview-mistakes-to-avoid-biggest-interview-mistakes.html" rel=" noopener">not negotiating</a>&nbsp;your job offer. It can be surprising, but negotiating is part of job application and interview process. Even if you successfully navigated the interview process and received a job offer, it&rsquo;s time to talk numbers. Your hiring manager is expecting it, don&rsquo;t be afraid. Demonstrate your negotiation skills by researching and practicing beforehand.

10 Biggest Mistakes You Can Make In A Job Interview

<h2>Everything You Need To Know About The Volvo Ocean Race:</h2>
<h3>10. The Race Is Over 40 Years Old</h3>
Originally named&nbsp;<a href="http://www.yachtingworld.com/features/whitbread-round-the-world-race-59997" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Whitbread Round the World race</a>, the Volvo Ocean Race first started from Portsmouth, UK on September 8th,1973. A total of 17 boats carrying 167 crew set sail on Leg 1 to Cape Town in the first edition of the Volvo Ocean Race.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>9. Over Two Thousand Sailors Have Taken Part</h3>
Since the first race over 40 years ago:
<ul>
<li>
167 boats and 2030 sailors have taken part in 12 editions of the race
</li>
<li>
29 boats took part in the 1981-82 race &ndash; the largest fleet ever
</li>
<li>
43 different nationalities have been represented by sailing crew
</li>
<li>
467 crew from the UK have taken part in the race &ndash;&nbsp;the highest number from any nation around the world.
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>8. Five Sailors Have Lost Their Lives&nbsp;</h3>
Despite being one of the safest yacht races in the world with a run of over 40 years, five sailors have lost their lives at sea during the Volvo Ocean Race:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>
Paul Waterhouse/Tauranga/Leg 2 1973-74
</li>
<li>
Dominique Guillet/33 Export/Leg 2 1973-74
</li>
<li>
Bernie Hosking/Great Britain II/Leg 3 1973-74
</li>
<li>
Tony Philips/Creighton's Naturally/Leg 2 1989-90
</li>
<li>
Hans Horrevoets/ABN AMRO TWO/Leg 7 2005-06
</li>
</ul>
With the Clipper Round the World Race recently seeing its third fatality in under three years, yacht racing safety is currently a major talking point for the Marine industry.
&nbsp;
<h3>7. Navigation Used To Be A Challenge</h3>
In 1973-74, before GPS technology, navigation was performed by dead reckoning and sextant. The race course followed the route of the old square riggers of the 19th century.
&nbsp;
<h3>6. Sailing Used To Be More Comfortable</h3>
In the earlier days of the race,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.volvooceanrace.com/en/home.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the boats were much more comfortable</a>: fridges were packed with fresh meat and many Volvo Ocean Race teams included a full-time cook. With the years, the traditional commodities have evolved into shared bunks, desalination units, GPS, freeze-dried food and protein bars.
&nbsp;
<h3>5. Cornelis Van Rietschoten Had A Heart Attack And&nbsp;Didn't Stop&nbsp;Racing</h3>
The oldest winning skipper was Cornelis Van Rietschoten NED, who was 55 when he skippered Flyer to a win in 1981-82. A determined and highly skilled sailor, he secretly suffered a heart attack on board during the race but remained in the competition, not disclosing his illness until after he reached the finish line. Cornelis is also the only skipper to have won the Whitbread Round the World Race twice.
&nbsp;
<h3>4. Three Sailors Have Raced Seven Times</h3>
Three sailors have competed in the race seven times: &nbsp;
<ul>
<li>
Stuart Bannatyne NZL &ndash; who has been on a winning boat three times
</li>
<li>
Bouwe Bekking NED &ndash; who has been a skipper three times
</li>
<li>
Roger Nilson SWE &ndash; who has also been a skipper on three occasions
</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>3. The Race Breaks Records</h3>
Other Volvo Ocean Race record-breakers include the longest racecourse so far - 39,270 nautical miles in 2011-12 &ndash; and the longest leg in race history: Leg 5 Quingdao, China to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which at 12,300 nm took the fleet over 40 days to complete.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
<h3>2. There Was An All-Female Team</h3>
In the 1989-90 race,&nbsp;<a href="http://www.tracyedwards.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">skipper Tracy Edwards GBR</a>&nbsp;and her crew of&nbsp;Maiden&nbsp;became the first all-female team to compete in the race. Team SCA is the first all-female team to win a leg of the race since Tracy Edwards&rsquo; crew won the two Southern Ocean legs in their division.
<a href="https://blog.v-hr.com/blog/women-marine-isabelle-autissier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more about the best female sailors from around the world</a>.
&nbsp;
<h3>1. New Zealand Has Record-Breaking Sailors</h3>
Three sailors, coincidentally all from New Zealand, have sailed on a winning boat three times: Stuart Bannatyne, Mark Christensen and Brad Jackson.
<ul>
<li>
Mark Christensen NZL is the only sailor in the history of the race to have won three consecutive editions.
</li>
<li>
Pierre Fehlmann SUI is the only sailor to skipper a boat five times in a row, from 1977-78 up to 1993-94.
</li>
<li>
Roger Nilson has sailed 200,000nm in his life &ndash; the distance from the Earth to the Moon

<h3>3. Culture</h3>
Italy is made up of 20 regions, each offering their own individual habits, traditions and languages.&nbsp;<a href="https://matadornetwork.com/read/11-reasons-moving-italy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cultural traditions</a>&nbsp;like horse races, orange battles, street art festivals, religious processions and of course the iconic masked carnival mean there&rsquo;s always plenty to do and see in Venice.
Italian food is a staple of the Venetian experience. Pizza, pasta, rare meats and fresh cheeses &ndash; Italy&rsquo;s gastronomic pleasures are found everywhere you look.
<h3>2. Travel</h3>
Located in Southern Europe, Italy is a great place to work and travel from. The country is an hour&rsquo;s plane journey away from historic France, snowy Switzerland and sunny Malta.
Venice itself is ideally positioned to travel to neighbouring Austria, Croatia and Slovenia. For adventures closer to home, Venice is near to the beautiful Italian cities of Verona and Florence, and Rome and Naples are a train ride away.

<h3>1. Job Opportunities</h3>
The 2018 International Monetary Fund reports that Italy has the eighth largest economy in the world. Despite the effects of the 2008 recession and impact of Brexit on Europe, Italy is a fast-growing economy with plenty of opportunities.
Italy is experiencing an urgent skills shortage across technology, education, engineering, computing and mathematics, which is great news for skilled engineers wanting to move to Italy.
