‚Build me a Dhoni‘. Ha, nothing simpler than that, great deal. 
‚But it must be electric and we have a problem: the transport is too expensive, so we need to build it in Maldives‘.
This sentence converted the almost done job into a challenge: A vessel for a resort that runs the whole day on batteries to be build on an island in the indian ocean? Impossible. Well, yes and no – read the next days how we solved it, how an amazing teamwork created the design, engineering, molds and delivered the first two boats build in a few months. Plus: Learn why electric has a future and #iYacht always has a solution ;)
