7th edition of the Vrithink Night Out
For the 7th consecutive year, the VriThink collective, initiated by the team of the Dutch naval architecture and design firm Vripack, yacht specialist, is organising the Vrithink Nigt Out. The event brings together in Amsterdam, on the eve of the opening of METS Trade, the world's largest trade fair for yacht equipment manufacturers, naval architects, designers and shipyard managers to imagine the future of water sports.
