The sailing world is mourning the death of Sergio Lupoli, one of the leading figures in Italian yacht design. With the passing of Lupoli, who was born in Naples, Italy loses a designer whose work earned international recognition. Through the Sergio Lupoli YACHT Design studio, his vision brought to reality designs and vessels that have shaped the history of shipbuilding, defined by project dependability, inventive design, and a timeless elegance capable of cutting through the waves. Among his most well-known and successful designs are the Comet 33 (2003, 10.20 meters) and Comet 36 (2001, 10.67 meters), cruising-racing boats that have established true benchmarks for the balance of comfort and performance.
