"The most informative technical conference I've been to as well as an exceptional opportunity to meet old friends and be educated at the same time"
Merfyn Owen, Owen Clarke Design, England

"You managed to attract the most prominent researchers in the field from all parts of the world. This must be one of the best conferences in yacht design ever held"
Professor Lars Larsson, Chalmers University, Sweden
