MYLIUS YACHTS – THE TEAM

Luciano Gandini’s eyes sparkle when he talks about the Mylius 19E95. He tenderly calls it “our” boat, since “we” is a constant state of mind for this dynamic entrepreneur.

To exemplify his entrepreneurial acumen, he had the idea for self-adhesive handles on the six-pack bottles of mineral-water; these are now applied by machines that his company – TwinPack – designs and builds.

What are Mr. Gandini’s passions? His work, as seen by TwinPack’s and Mylius’ success, as well as sailing. He likes to remind himself: “Since I was a boy, in the Idroscalo in Milan or in Lake Garda, any boat was fine!” Every boat’s name? “Twin Soul”.

The Gandini Racing Team have been always full of champions, from Paolo Cian to Francesco de Angelis. His latest idea: “Merging a young shipyard with an industrial group to reset the design and production methods.” The result? By the end of 2011, 51% of Mylius Yachts was owned by Twin Pack, with Luciano Gandini as President.

Here’s his personal approach to his business and strategy: “A great exchange of information between the construction site and packaging company, with engineers of the two companies that talk and discuss every day. Therefore, production processes and systems are built with the same high industrial standards. A constant exchange. With my entrepreneurial mindset, I could not have done otherwise.”

Architect, yacht designer, and seaman. In 2003, together with other two friends, Alberto became one of the founders of Mylius. A generalist and versatile by both nature and training, he followed his father’s footsteps as he enhanced the components of yacht design, technology, and construction techniques. He worked in his father’s studio and Simeone’s shipyard, both of which were famous in the boat industry in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Now he coordinates engineers, architects, designers, and technical specialists, which comprises the technical staff of Mylius. Everyone has the aim to achieve high performance in comfortable sailing yachts; Alberto is firmly pursuing the idea of a full integrated design between all the components that contribute to its creation, while looking for the perfect balance through linearity and simplicity of the concepts. He strives to remove redundant elements, both in the interiors and in the outer parts.

An expert sailor and racer, he  personally verifies the results of his design choices in an ongoing process of feedback between the sea and the drawing board.

Mauro Montefusco: Neapolitan, he has experience in many years of racing and offshore sailing. He is an athlete, coach, captain, team manager, and one of the founding members of Mylius.
