R&D

SailADV Group is where research, academia, technology, and vision come together to shape the future of yachting. The R&D division is driven by these forces and a strong data culture, turning research into real innovation.

We approach Research & Development with a clear vision of what a new and improved sailing experience should be: human centered, focused on the functional status of the yacht and increasingly integrated.
Through research, testing, and engineering tests, this vision becomes a measurable reality, delivering solutions that enable systems or yachts to achieve the highest standards of quality and safety.

Every SailADV project benefits from the Group’s integrated structure, bringing together all the necessary expertise from the very first definition phase.

Measurement & Test

Provides precise data for validation and performance analysis.

Production & Quality Engineering

Delivers process optimization and engineering know-how to support innovation.

Quality Survey & Technical Compliance 

Ensures alignment between design, production, and verification.

Data Intelligence (D.gree platform)

Transforms raw data into predictive insights and performance models.

Created through collaboration between internal teams and researchers, this phase — developed together with shipyards — turns ideas into tangible initial concepts.

Developed and refined with our partners through field testing and applied research, this stage is supported by naval engineers and our team of experts.

The outcome is not just a product, but a measurable step forward in performance. This is our goal: creating better results.

Each prototype is verified against international standards to ensure compliance and reliability. We conduct all types of measurements and tests to validate product’s quality.

Collaboration with advisory boards, universities, shipyards, and technology partners ensures that every development reflects both cutting-edge scientific progress and real-world needs.

Our process does not end with delivery. The technologies and reports produced by our R&D activities fuel a continuous process of improvement and innovation.
