After a hiatus in her construction program, the train is getting back on track for Riostar and this 160-foot displacement yacht. The vessel styling was provided by Fernando de Almeida, who brought DLBA into the project to support the Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering elements.

Despite her lightweight frame, she was engineered to be practically indestructible. “You can’t set her on fire, you can’t sink her, and you can’t catch her,” the ship’s designer, self-taught naval architect William Francis Gibbs, was known to say.
Earlier this year DLBA unveiled a 58-meter, artificial intelligence-powered superyacht concept, TEMPO. Now DLBA is expanding on the improved safety, efficiency, and reliability the superyacht industry can expect from AI in an upcoming webinar which the team invites you to join.
Ship performance is dependent upon resources from ship auxiliary systems that include ship electrical, chilled water, low pressure air, and hydraulic systems. Modern control systems have greatly improved ship survivability over traditional man in-the-loop control.

Running in water makes every boat wet on some level. But, usually, the passengers do not want to experience this wetness. A dry ride is a critical component in a good design, but it is a subjective variable – opinions of the ride can vary greatly.
The DLBA Division of Gibbs & Cox is excited to announce that we will be supporting DARPA’s Tactical Technology Office (TTO) on their revolutionary No Manning Required, Ship (NOMARS) Program. The program will design, build, and field test an unmanned surface ship that can operate autonomously for long durations at sea with no human interventions or underway maintenance.
Every good design deserves a second or third look and a chance at further customization. US-based DLBA Naval Architects is pleased to present the following designs, ready for fabrication: the 28’ (9m) Carolina Center Console and the 40’ (12m) Downeaster Sportfisherman.
