Every line is a choice. Part 3: the stern line.

In the earlier parts of this series we looked at how a single profile, the sheerline, sets the character of an entire yacht. Today we move aft, to the line that quietly shapes how you’ll spend your time on board.

For a long time, the stern was thought of simply as the end of the boat. We see it as where the experience begins. The height of the freeboard, the width of the bathing platform and the way the transom opens toward the water are all decisions made early in the project, and together they shape whether the sea stays at arm’s length or becomes part of everyday life on board.

Drawing this line means holding engineering and emotion together: structure, buoyancy and safety on one side, and the simple wish to step down to the water with a coffee in hand on the other. Each choice carries a consequence, so none of them are left to chance.

Follow the series: there’s one more line we’re saving for last.

Ferragosto is made for slowing down and enjoying the simple things. A swim in clear water, lunch on deck and an afternoon with no reason to hurry.

How are you spending the day? Share your Ferragosto with us in the comments. Happy Ferragosto from the MICAD team. ☀️🌊

MICAD in the July issue of BARCHE Magazine.

The Idea Factory column dedicates an in-depth feature to the studio and its growth into a firm able to bring a yacht to life in its entirety.

The article, written by Sacha Giannini, explores hydrodynamics, fast hulls and the logic of Life-Cycle Assessment, the approach that guides every project: a boat designed to last, to withstand time and to stay fully inspectable in every part.

Thanks to BARCHE Magazine for the space dedicated to our work and to the team behind it.

This is where a project often begins: a sketch. Not a finished image, but a way ofthinking out loud. Where does the sun lounge go? How do you move from the bar to the water? Which surfaces are decorative, which are structural?

On a single drawing, layout, ergonomics and atmosphere are negotiated long before any software is opened.

It is one of the most underrated phases of naval design and one of the most decisive. Get this right, and everything that follows has a clear direction.

We continue our journey behind the scenes at MICAD.

Today we meet Andrea Maglie, who joined the team in 2019 and combines naval engineering, yacht design and a strong focus on sustainability throughout the entire lifecycle of a vessel.

For Andrea, designing means looking beyond the finished object: considering how a yacht is built, how it will be maintained, and what value its materials may still have in the future.

«We should not design a future waste, but a system of elements that can continue to have value.»

We would like to introduce Atrium.
A concept where the exterior is not a shell wrapped around a layout, but the direct expression of how life on board is meant to unfold.

Clean volumes, a strong horizontal language, and a relationship between solid and glass studied to bring light deep into the vessel.
Every proportion you see answers to something: space, balance, the experience of being aboard. This is naval design as we understand it : form and function developed together, from the first line.

ONDIA 36’’ combines an elegantly sporty profile with an onboard experience designed around the owner.

One of its most distinctive features is the innovative aft seat, which moves down to water level and creates a privileged point of view: closer to the sea and difficult to find on other boats in its class.

Highly refined interiors, different colour and finish combinations and extensive
customisation possibilities allow each owner to shape the yacht around their preferences.

Available in Sport-Top, T-Top and Open versions, ONDIA 36’’ preserves the same distinctive identity across three different ways of experiencing life on board.

A project is never the work of a single mind. It is layouts discussed at a desk,structural choices argued over, renders reviewed late in the afternoon, a problem solved because someone asked the right question.

This is the team behind MICAD: naval engineers, designers and specialists working across our Lecce and Trieste offices, connected every day by the same goal: helping people enjoy the sea on boats that are attractive, efficient and responsible.

The boats you see are the result. These are the people who make them possible.
