About
Michele Molino
EDUCATION : I was born in Rome and raised in Florence. Moved by my passion for sailing, I graduated in 2005 in Naval architecture and marine engineering.
DESIGN OFFICE : I made my firsts experiences in the sailing field by some of the most important Italian yacht designers, Andrea Vallicelli first, then Massimo Paperini in Rome.
GRAND PRIX BOATBUILDING : It was during my first experience in a yacht design office that I realized how important it was to first understand how boats are built in order to figure out how to design them in a better way. This is how I took part into a few exciting building projects in Spain like TP52 or GP42.
KEEP MOVING! After spending a few years managing a design office in Barcelona, then a Wally’s boatyard in Rome, I came back to Spain to handle the building management of a few other racing yachts (TP52, mini maxi, class40). Nowadays I’m living in La Rochelle (France) where I initially started to work with Bernard Nivelt in 2013 until I finally opened my own design office.
ON MY OWN : Thanks to the versatility I acquired, I can now focus on a project with a much broader scope, from the idea to the construction of each one of its components. Now I’m working with a flexible team of engineers, designers and analysts which I make up and update for each project giving the best quality/budget compromise.
WITH THE CLIENT : Keeping up a human and professional relationship is the very first one of our values. We design together with our clients, focusing on their knowledge and needs.
