Clientele is the new &lsquo;digital nomad&rsquo; generation of liveaboard cruisers, as couples or small family. It&rsquo;s quite a shift in usage and roles compared to the boomers. On the tech side, rapid evolutions in many related fields and a few hard choices allow a much enhanced remix, with breakthrough volume, speed, efficiency\/range\/autonomy, and draft. Blurring the somewhat artificial line between motoryachts and sailboats, at home on the inland waterways as well thanks to a simplified collapsible rig, the boat is exceptionally flexible in terms of sailing modes, seasons and cruising grounds. Nothing overly complex about the concept though: we can aim for a modest TCO allowing to compete frontally with the second-hand boats usually associated with these clients.<\/p>\n<p>The innovative tech platform grows mostly in France.<\/p>\n<p>Right now we&rsquo;re launching a\u00a0<strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cocooncruisers.com\/?page_id=173&amp;preview=true\">design team for a rather feminine take on liveaboard cruising in Buenos Aires, Argentina<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The project has a bit of history in french caribbean Martinique too.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cocooncruisers.com\/index.php\/team\/\">Team<\/a><\/span>\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cocooncruisers.com\/index.php\/openings\/\">growing<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, work in progress, release when it&rsquo;s great.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">with R&amp;D funding from french public investment bank<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-171\" src=\"http:\/\/cocooncruisers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/bpiFrance-300x45.png\" alt=\"bpiFrance\" width=\"300\" height=\"45\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cocooncruisers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/bpiFrance-300x45.png 300w, https:\/\/cocooncruisers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/bpiFrance-768x116.png 768w, https:\/\/cocooncruisers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/bpiFrance.png 781w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cocoon Cruisers is an interdisciplinary R&amp;D project around a next-generation motorsailor design.
