Hi Rich,

Obviously Lazzara Yachts are an industry driver due to your innovations like the pod drives and joystick systems.

Perhaps another question is what trends or improvements are required in this competitive environment. As I see it, here are some trends I think will occur:

1. Pod drives and joystick will be pretty much the industry standard.

2. Engine maintenance will be improved so that one doesn’t have to spend time and $ all the time. An analogy is how cars have improved. In the 70’s I had a 240Z that I spent every week diddling with the carbs and other bits. I now have a Jaguar that is pretty much maintenance free (if you can believe that):)

3. Boats will utilize so-called green technology to reduce their carbon footprint. I see hybrids using electric and/or solar power to supplement existing power plants.

4. Increased system integration of all the various computer systems (navigation, diagnostic, internet,etc). One system that is easily navigated by the owners.

Rich, I enjoyed reading your blog, our industry is changing regardless of what we do. If we don’t keep an open mind a lot of the players won’t be around in another year or two.

Best regards,

I’m just joking. Huge fan of the site and the LSX line of yachts. Truly amazing boats.
