Two well-known yacht design firms collaborate on a brand new 35m (114-foot) sailing yacht concept
The uptick new large sailing yachts that have been introduced recently makes me smile for several reasons. First of all, my simple love of sailing and adventure started on a tiny Sunfish sailboat when I was 8 years old. And I’m grateful to say, I feel the same awe and excitement for sailing now as I did then, even though the yachts I get to sail these days are…ahem…quite a bit bigger than a 12-foot-long Sunfish.
But warm and fuzzy feelings aside. I believe there SHOULD be an uptick in new large sailing yachts being introduced! This is simply because when it comes to large yachts that can travel with a virtually Net 0 propulsion system NOW (yes, I know when the conditions are right!), nothing can compete with a big, powerful, well-designed and easy to operate sailing yacht.
