Announcing the Yacht Design Panel at the British Superyacht Forum 2026
With great anticipation building for the British Superyacht Forum 2026 on 13 October 2026 at Southampton’s Harbour Hotel & Spa, we are delighted to unveil one of our most thought-provoking sessions: the Yacht Design Panel.
This year, we tackle a bold and essential question facing naval architects, interior designers, shipyards, and crew alike:
‘is yacht design working against the onboard experience?’
We are privileged to announce that the discussion will be moderated by Donna Green, Head of New Build Projects at Y.CO. Bringing extensive operational sea time alongside peerless expertise in managing world-class superyacht build projects, Donna offers an indispensable perspective on bridging the gap between imaginative design concepts and practical, sea-going realities.
Donna will be joined on stage by a distinguished panel of leading naval architects, interior designers, and shipyard visionaries from across the sector. Together, they will debate where form must yield to function, how collaboration can be improved from initial sketches to delivery, and what the future holds for genuinely experiential yacht design.
