Nextgen: The Sustainable Sail of the Future Takes Shape in Marche
Work is progressing rapidly on the creation of Nextgen, the sustainable sail of the future, which is taking shape in the Marche region. A new, revolutionary chapter in the history of sustainable boating is about to be written. The boat of the future is called Nextgen, and it’s much more than just a prototype: it’s the symbol of an epochal shift towards green, digital, and conscious shipbuilding, translated into a real racing boat.
Born within the framework of the B-ECO Project – Eco-sustainable Boat, this sailboat represents the cutting edge of research and innovation applied to the sea. Funded by the Marche Region through the PR MARCHE FESR 21-27 Call for Proposals – Axis 1 – OS 1.1 – Action 1.1.1 – Intervention 1.1.1.1 “Research and Development to Innovate Marche,” with a total contribution of 814,012.83 euros, the project brings together the expertise and vision of four excellent partner companies: HUB77 Srl, Italia Yachts Srl, Linset&Co Srl, and Delta Srl. This virtuous synergy, showcasing the best of local industry and technology, has given life to a boat designed to sail with respect for the planet and its delicate balance.
Nextgen embodies the new frontier of eco-design applied to boating: made with recyclable resins and recycled materials, it is conceived to be carbon-free, meaning it has a reduced environmental impact throughout its entire life cycle. But its true pioneering spirit lies in the perfect integration of innovative materials, 4.0 technologies, and intelligent monitoring systems. The boat will, in fact, be equipped with advanced tools for real-time monitoring of the structural and mechanical conditions of materials subjected to stress during navigation, tracking every phase of its useful life, with a view to complete digitalization of the product’s life cycle.
This is a true revolution in how boats are built, used, and regenerated, combining efficiency, safety, and sustainability. In addition to innovating the product, the B-ECO Project also aims to revolutionize the production processes and business practices involved. Thanks to the application of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria, the participating companies have been evaluated and guided along a virtuous path towards greater social and environmental responsibility. This is a concrete demonstration of how ecological transition can – and must – start with businesses.
With Nextgen, the Marche region confirms itself as a land of excellence, a dynamic laboratory for a new way of thinking about the nautical industry: cleaner, smarter, fairer. A sail that blows strongly towards the future, driven by an ambitious and shared vision. Nextgen is not just a boat: it’s a promise. The promise of a world where technology, sustainability, and beauty can sail together.
