Representing a graceful aesthetic mixed up with an amazing performance, the 34.95m sailing yacht Project Protos is designed by the respected US studio Reichel/Pugh Yacht Design. The Project Protos superyacht is a spectacular racer, reflecting the classical elegance of a bygone era combined with a modern underbody.
