On Tuesday, the 10 best entries in the “Da Nang Cruiser Icon” design contest were selected to go through to the final round. 

Amongst the selected entries, the “Sailboat Icon” design has received high appreciation from the contest’s judging board.  The design uses reflective colour-enriched glass to create the shape of a sail straining in the wind.  In addition, it is easily erected and can be taken down quickly for stormy conditions.
