Black Pearl dynarig sailing yacht set to turn heads the world over – and for decades to come

May 7, 2018 by Editorial Team

This spring, 106.7M (350FT) Black Pearl, the largest dynarig sailing yacht in the world, was delivered to owners.

Since her launch, Oceanco‘s Black Pearl sailing mega-yacht has proven to be a new generation landmark sailing yacht with a unique identity. Announced in 2012, the DynaRig sailing yacht was presented as the most revolutionary vessel ever built featuring green technologies highlighted by the ability to operate entirely on solar power.

Not only is she the largest sailing yacht in the world, but her unique features such as the state of the art DynaRig system, single level engine room, a hybrid propulsion installation and regeneration mode when under sail – she is set to turn heads the world over – and for decades to come.

“Sold by Moran Yacht and Ship in 2012 and launched in September 2016, she has been undergoing extensive sea trials which saw her reach an impressive top speed of 30 knots under sail,” wrote boatinternational.

The 106.7m (350ft) three-masted sailing yacht Black Pearl is unlike any yacht the world has ever seen, says Oceanco. This complex luxury vessel (Length 106.7m / 350ft; Beam 15m / 49ft) attaining a speed of 17.5 knots or up to 30 knots under sail is the realization of a discerning Owner’s vision. She is the result of an elaborate collaboration on the part of an international group of designers, engineers, naval architects, builders, and project managers.

The designers Ken Freivokh Design, Nuvolari Lenard and Villate Design all played a significant role in Black Pearl’s design evolution. Dykstra Naval Architects designed Black Pearl’s three 70 meter (230ft) DynaRig carbon masts and sailing system. The sail area is subdivided into smaller lesser-loaded sails and they can be set or furled by pushing a button. Astonishingly, all 2,900 square meter of sails can be set in 7 minutes.

BMT, Nigel Gee collaborated with Oceanco to create Black Pearl’s hybrid propulsion system as well as other onboard systems such as waste heat recovery.

As boatinternational notes, “further details are few and far between, with Oceanco remaining tight-lipped about this spectacular sailing yacht project, however, the raised pilothouse and extensive superyacht sundeck can be seen in great detail in the most recent video.”

Adler Suprema is a yacht made to change the game

January 12, 2017 by Editorial Team

Adler Suprema opens a new world of yachting – far away from traditional design and technology.

Adler Suprema is a private living room at sea. Generous and perfectly equipped relaxation areas invite you to sit back and indulge in the comfort on board.

This yacht by Adler Yachts delivers what its creators’ names promise: Italian style at its best. Designed by Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard, the ADLER SUPREMA leaves a lasting impression at first sight.The intelligent design lets you enjoy a feeling of freedom like no other ship: By opening all side panels on the main deck the boundaries between inside and outside merge together.

Each deck is barrier-free, so you can move around without a single obstacle or having to take a flight of stairs. Needless to say, the ADLER SUPREMA has been awarded the CE certificate in design category “A”.

Nuvolari-Lenard, the highly awarded and renowned Venice-based superyacht design studio, provided both interior and exterior design for the Adler Suprema, which is constructed from carbon fibre, Kevlar and fibreglass to provide a tough and rigid hull that is also sporty and efficient. It is the first carbon fibre yacht in its category.

Two years of testing and four years of development on the hybrid system have resulted in what is probably the most efficient yacht in its class, with up to 50% more efficiency than a conventional system. At a rate of 8 knots, with a fuel capacity of 5,200 litres, the yacht can provide a range of over 3,500nm.

The result is a trailblazing 23.11m flybridge yacht that offers many of the comforts and technology one rarely sees on a superyacht, let alone a vessel in this size category.

There is accommodation for between six and ten guests in three or five hi density cabin arrangements, as well as two live-aboard crew. In the former arrangement, the full-beam master cabin amidships on the lower deck includes a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom, while double ensuite guest cabins are located to the bow and the stern.

On the main deck, a partitioned wheelhouse provides guests in the galley and adjoining saloon with total privacy. Opening up the side panels in the main deck’s saloon gives a feeling of space and connection to the outside, whether you are lounging on the sofas or seated at the dining table overlooking the aft deck.

Small details will make a large impact for those on board, including under-floor heating on the main deck and lower deck bathrooms. There is an infrared heating strip on the stern cockpit to protect against chilly conditions. Showers on the fly deck and swim platform mean guests can cool or rinse off whenever needed, while chilled cup holders keep drinks refreshing in the summer’s heat.

Technology is a key part of the Adler Suprema’s appeal. iPad controls allow an owner to monitor and change the settings of the yacht’s various systems, even when not on board. For ultimate discretion, privacy glass provides one-touch transformation of windows into opaque glass panels.

The high-capacity batteries will last all day, meaning guests can enjoy the full suite of facilities without needing to touch the generator or engines. Drawing on aviation, automotive and marine backgrounds, the team behind the Suprema have placed paramount focus on safety and security. A sophisticated fire alarm and suppression system, CCTV, and infrared and underwater cameras offer peace of mind, while Adler provides 24-hour phone support to clients.

The Suprema’s HMS diesel-electric hybrid propulsion system includes carbon propellers with twin diesel Caterpillar engines and twin ATE high-efficiency 100kW e-units, which alone can provide up to 60min of silent electric propulsion at 8 knots (with a full recharge taking an hour). Emission- and vibration-free propulsion can be achieved up to 10 knots, but when the situation calls for speed, the Suprema can provide a maximum output of up to 28 knots and a high-speed cruising of 22 knots.
