Editorial / Acquiring and sharing skills for the yachting of tomorrow

The yachting of the future requires the acquisition of new skills, both human and technical. It's a training and business development challenge that cuts across all boating companies, and calls for collaboration.

Acquiring and sharing skills

Tomorrow's boating is all about technology. From foils to electric motors and new materials, there's no shortage of challenges and ideas. But mastering technology alone is not enough, unless it can be integrated into a business model. In the foil field, Tanguy Le Bihan explains how his experience with prototype boats, "released too early", before the sector had matured, led him to adopt a different industrial approach the company's industrial model is based on gliding. In terms of motorization, the players in electric navigation are making no mistake, creating an association with the aim of sharing experiences and lobbying together to create the right context for the acceleration of electric yachting.

Training yachting personnel

But the future of yachting also needs men and women to drive it, as technology is not everything. Training, both initial and ongoing, remains essential. The port management sector is no exception, with the creation of a new university degree in Lorient to train its future managers and enable them to "upgrade their skills".

Industrial, technical and administrative, new skills are still at the heart of the news.
