Apologies for disappointing you by telling you
that our favorite Captain Jack Sparrow’s ship - Black Pearl isn’t in the list.
But you must be glad to meet the Top 5 Largest Sailing Yachts In The World.
Let’s sail!
1. Sailing Yacht ‘A’ - Germany -
142.81 Meters
The first place is occupied by the sailing
yacht named - A, simple and uncomplicated, but large and commanding respect.
It is believed that Melnichenko assigned such
a name to his yachts that even the ship registered to be the first, under the
letter ‘A’ in 2017.
Sailing yacht "A" by Andrey
Melnichenko, built by the German shipyard Nobiskrug, and designed by the
legendary Philippe Starck.
She was handed over to the owner's
representatives in February 2017 and is currently undergoing final sea trials
in the Mediterranean.
This sailing yacht is one of the most iconic
and recognizable yachts in the world. Her Russian owner Andrey Melnichenko
describes her as a motor yacht with three 100m masts.
Diesel engines allow a maximum speed of 21
knots and a maximum range of 5320 nautical miles at 16 knots.
2. Sea Cloud - Germany - 96.35
Meters
Sea Cloud was designed by Cox & Stevens
and built by Hassar for Friedrich Krupp in 1931 in Kiel.
Then, having served during the Second World
War, she became owned by the dictator of the Dominican Republic, Rafael
Trujillo, who renamed her "Angelita", then Clifford Barbour, who
renamed her "Antarna".
She was restored in 1978 by the new German
owners, who changed their name back to Sea Cloud. She has a crew of 60 and 34
guest cabins and is now available for charter all year round.
3. Maltese Falcon - Turkey -
88.00 Meters
The Maltese Falcon was built in 2006 for
American venture capitalist Tom Perkins and is now owned by Greek-born Elena
Ambrosiadou.
The legendary three-masted schooner is the
third largest sailing yacht in the world. The superyacht produces a record 24
knots under sail. The yacht has accommodation for 12 guests and is available
for charter.
4. Aquijo - Netherlands - 85.90 meters
The long awaited superyacht "Aquijo"
is the result of a collaboration between
Oceanco and Vitters Shipyard in 2015.
Both Dutch yards worked closely with the owner's representative to create this
high-tech sailing-focused yacht, which has become the fourth largest sailing
superyacht.
She is an aluminum ketch. The layout of the
interior provides clear lines of sight, thanks to the high superstructure.
5. EOS (EOS) - Germany - 82.60
Meters
EOS was built in Germany in 2006 under the
cloak of secrecy for the American media and movie mogul Barry Diller.
This three-masted Bermuda-flagged schooner was
upgraded in 2011. After getting out of repair, she caught fire in Norway and
was forced to dock again.
