Philosophy
Client oriented
YDE was established at the beginning of 2014 to meet the growing need of flexibility in the marine and recreational craft industry in Europe and World-wide.
Qualified
The philosophy of “yacht design & engineering” is to offer “on demand” to sailing and power boat yards and to their design offices a flexible and highly qualified support for the development of their projects or part of them, both for custom design and series production.
Flexible
To achieve this, I am are more than happy to join temporarily your team in your office or in the yard, in order to completely adhere your way of working, improve the communication and to keep up with tight schedules. Otherwise you will realize how efficient can be a “home office” collaboration, assisted by well organized daily meetings and “screen sharing” to discuss any detail.
About
About me
Just after the engineering degree in yacht design, 2 years were spent working by “a.p.m. keels” , a small, yet much appreciated company for the quality and the precision of their manufactured C.N.C. keel systems for big yachts.

keel systems for big yachts.
After that I joined the for almost 7 years to the german yacht design office “judel/vrolijk & co.”, worldwide known for its fast racing boats and elegant projects. Here I was in charge of custom and series production boats, working closely with the “Hanse group” yard for the development of new “Hanse” and “Dehler” models, from the initial concept up to the sea trials.
At the beginning of 2015 was started a cooperation with the certification society “Swiss Lloyd”.
Last but not least, my sailing skills grew up accordingly, by sailing many races on a 45′ judel/vrolijk as mainsail trimmer most of the north-sea races with a semi-professional crew; since 2016 I am successfully sailing on a competitive 38′ judel/vrolijk , winning for many years the ORC championships on the Lake Constance.
