Classic yacht lovers, New 59m Ketch enhanced by modern technology. Must say, this was the biggest sail project I had worked on. https://lnkd.in/exme339N

NEW 57M DYNARIG SAILING CATAMARAN FOR Dykstra Naval Architects ASC57: 57m Adventure Sailing Catamaran Echo Yachts has commenced construction of the ASC57, at their superyacht building facility in the Australian Marine Complex. This groundbreaking project brings together industry leaders from across the globe. In partnership with Dutch sailing yacht designers Dykstra Naval Architects and Australia's aluminium multihull experts One2three Naval Architects, the team will deliver the world's largest sailing catamaran to date. Drawing inspiration from Echo Yachts' 2023 new build motor yacht M/Y Charley 2, the ASC57 sailing yacht will feature similar luxury accommodation, a vast array of water toys, and helicopter landing capabilities. However, this super yacht introduces a twin-Dynarig sail system by Southern Spars, paired with Dykstra's sleek and refined sailing yacht aesthetics. As a result of the addition of sail power, a regenerative power system will be installed, utilising twin shaft generators and a battery storage system to allow for silent running under sail. With its hydrodynamic efficient aluminium hulls, full sail-powered propulsion, power regeneration and deployment options, the ASC57 offers significant eco-friendly performance advantages and greener modes of operation compared to traditional motor yachts. An extremely efficient aluminium hull form is complemented by twin Dynarigs providing a total sail area of some 1660 m2 for eco-efficient long range cruising. Weight reduction, simplicity and ease of operation will further characterize this project. Dykstra Naval Architects are providing the yacht's overall exterior styling, layout and naval architecture. Detailed naval architecture and structural design are being performed by Australian firm One2Three Naval Architects.

Contemporary flybridge schooner SEA EAGLE in charter mode: the ultimate expression of personal freedom. Supersized sailing yachts: an attractive (and possibly even better) alternative to large motoryachts. Supersized sailing yachts offer the same enjoyment but are also much (more) fun while travelling from “A” to “B”. Also, they offer the stimulating experience of seeing the sails hoisted, catching the wind, and the slender bow cutting through the waves to pick up speed. Even those who are not keen on heeling angles, will be pleased to discover that new technologies exist to reduce lateral movement and heeling angle substantially. In addition to the thrill of sailing and the satisfaction of Royal Huisman’s bespoke quality, future owners will also enjoy the “green footprint” and the significant efficiency advantage of free propulsion power (the wind!). Last but not least, “energy-neutral”-mode will prove a much-appreciated feature: spinning the propellers to generate more than sufficient electrical power for all board systems, and for re-charging the batteries to enjoy “silent mode” while at anchor. For some, these features might sound like uncharted waters that require a lot more development, but not so for Royal Huisman.

More than just a pretty boat. Yes, the R42 is pretty, but let’s not forget a few other attributes that have made her the quintessential ocean cruiser over the last quarter of a century. Let’s start at the bottom, with her encapsulated lead keel moulded as part of the hull, no bolts and no chance of this long fin keel coming off. Aft of the keel, we have a full skeg-hung rudder that supports the rudder from root to tip, great for protection and reinforcement. We also have a solid GRP laminate hull; we don’t use a foam-cored hull – we don’t need to save weight or add a possible point of failure on an ocean-crossing yacht where we don’t need to. Did you know, that below the waterline, we use clear gelcoat because we want to see there are no voids in the laminates, just to be 100% sure. We also fit water and fuel tankage low down, beneath the floor, contributing to the R42’s stability. On the subject of stability, who could forget the engine location? It’s not where it can disturb those sleeping in the aft cabins; it's low and central in the saloon. It keeps the engine weight centrally fore and Aft and above the keel, contributing to her excellent sea-kindly motion and stability. The location makes it easier to access for daily checks and gives all-around space for servicing – we have a ventilation system within the engine mounts to keep the engine cool, improving economy and extending the life of belts too. Today, you won’t find all these features on another sub-50-ft yacht in production. Why not? Put simply, other yachts aren’t designed for the sailing our owners undertake. Many R42 owners have crossed oceans, and some have sailed or are sailing the world. Some report that the boat is better at taking rough stuff than they are, while others enjoy 35-knot winds mid-ocean. Wherever you’d like to cruise in an R42, you’ll always know there’s more to her than her gorgeous looks. Rustler Yachts.

Some interesting facts and historical information on Rightboat's most popular cruisers and classic yachts for sale right now. This was so fun to write!

Many yacht owners have stopped and stared through this window... Recently from the boardroom at the Sanlorenzo Yacht shipyard in La Spezia overlooking the shipyard, I imagined the thoughts racing through the mind of a project owner just before signing a contract agreement. This moment is a defining one filled with anticipation, ambition, and no small amount of trepidation. During a conversation recently, it was stated : "A yacht is an alternative, operating, depreciating and emotional asset" How true is that statement...  It’s not purchased with the expectation of financial gain but rather for the lifestyle, experience, and status it provides. It is a symbol of success, freedom, and personal identity. The emotional connection often outweighs the financial and operational considerations, making the investment deeply personal and gratifying. During the development phase, pre contract signing the combination of countless decisions and deliberations, where the weight of every choice is felt. This isn't just a construction contract, it's the start of a journey that will take years to complete, with every detail scrutinised and perfected, but most importantly, the process should be fun and enjoyable! At ULTIMAR, we understand that the path to a successful superyacht project begins long before the ink dries on the contract. We stand by the owner from the very start, providing clarity, expertise, and reassurance, and maintain the enjoyment factor throughout. Our role is to support, guide, advocate and ensure that every element of the project is meticulously planned, potential risks are identified, and that the owner's vision is translated into reality with precision and care. Whether it’s navigating complex technical specifications, managing budgets, or aligning the project with long-term goals, ULTIMAR is here to protect the owner’s interests and ensure that when they do sign, they do so with confidence and clarity. Because in the world of superyacht construction, it’s not just about starting right, it’s about knowing that every step forward is backed by insight, experience, and dedicated support.
