Juan De Blanco is a Naval Architect and Yacht Designer working on yachts for nearly twenty years. During this time, he has developed new projects and designs for the most famous clients and known shipyards. Juan has also worked with other colleagues and professionals in the development of very known boats. His experience not only concentrates on new building but also on restoration, refurbishment, exterior and interior design. Although he is specialized on Yachts and Mega Yachts (Sailboats and Motorboats), he has a great experience on the racing field too. 

 

    His projects has got some international awards and he has developed new hulls por powerboats and sailboats which have supposed an advance in the nautical field.

 

        His experience not only concentrates on new projects and designs, Juan De Blanco has a great background like technical director and product manager at important shipyards. He was boatbuilder and he was owner of a boatyard too. All of that gave him additional knowledge to develop new and constructible projects.    

 

     "Of course, it would be a nonsense to say that a Yacht Designer doesn't look for the perfection when he works on a new project. But I look for innovation too, new hidrodinamic lines, hulls, structures, safe at sea, speed... because I think there are so many things to do and to invent in naval field. This is my first premise.

 

     Thinking about futuristic yachts and ideas is a fantastic exercise - I do it continuously -, but the most important is to make them reality. Often I have seen incredible ideas and designs but, are them achievable, realizable and/or feasible? I always have this in mind when design a new boat, because I look for futuristic lines and designs but which can be achievable, realizable, feasible and over all buildable. This is my second premise. 

 

     Time. A very important word. What is for me the basic idea of a good design?  Sometimes I see awesome designs, but with time, taking again a look to them I realize that they are  outdated, unsightly and even ugly. For example, take a look to a beautiful classic car. It was born beautiful and will continue being beautiful after years or decades. That is what I look for on my designs that its concept perdure in the Time. And, this is my third premise.
