Four awards were handed out: Technology & Innovation went to the 25 meter Cachalote who also got a four star Sea Index certificate for sustainability: Im moved because we dreamt about a ship that we had never seen before. The construction of it considered many elements such as the culture of our ancestors, the impact of nature and sustainability, said owner Francisca Cort\u00e9s Solari. The\u00a0Science & Discovery went to 68 meter Archimedes: I feel very lucky to have gone to so many places yet I feel like were just scratching the surface and coming to understand what the problems are.
