Well, this could be interesting. A now advanced joint project between Royal Huisman and designer Malcolm McKeon is looking for a ‘qualified’ client for the world’s largest sloop
At 85m with a 102m rig the proposed Apex 850 will also give you claim to owning the largest aluminium sailing yacht ever – at this scale the advantages of full composite construction are simply insuf- ficient, not to mention the limitations on shipyards with the capability for reliable delivery. Plus if you dent your alloy 279-footer (sic) idling in the Pacific you can get it fixed by a man on a beach with some welding kit. It can be hard to find an autoclave when you need one. On deck the all-glass superstructure – some of it structural – encloses a single-level living area of circa 200m2 with 360° outside
visibility. Ahead of the mast a separate forward cockpit offers a secure spot for guests to gather at anchor or under way – if necessary sheltered by a Moroccan Bedouin-style tent. Obviously. Accommodation is for 12 guests in five substantial suites. The owner’s own ‘apartment’ aft occupies some 250m2 of real estate
including a private lounge, ensuite bathroom, sauna and private kitchen - ette for your personal, custom-designed monogrammed Nespresso machine (we made the last bit up). The coup de grace is direct access from the owner’s ‘cabin’ to the beach club, which can double up as a cinema room with floor-to-ceiling glass on either side. The transom plus a large section of adjacent deck also swing out to create another expansive 50m2
swim platform and outdoor gym. Other lifestyle
amenities include a wine cave (again, obviously), a large guest lobby, scuba diving store and access to other side swim platforms. The Apex 850 has accommodation for a crew of 14 – a surprisingly
small number for a yacht of this size which reflects the efficiency of today’s computer-controlled sailing hardware – which in this case is

managed by the latest Rondal Integrated Sailing System. While the hull and deck are in aluminium, the twin rudders are
carbon plus there is a (simply ginormous) retractable keel with an available draft range of 5m-8.5m. The carbon rig with furling boom is held together with continuous carbon rigging. Upwind sail area is 3,200m2
(main and blade) and 4,700m2

Scow hull, foils, daggerboards, telescoping canting keel, rudder T-foils and, and, and… The things you can do with plants, cork and recyclable Sicomin GreenPoxy resin. Nice effort Peter Morton enjoyed his sojourn in the class last year (or is bored with Fast40s) A nice-looking new IRC/ORC design from a brand new Brazilian yard – one to watch The new Lift40 is much more ‘scow’. Two boats building on opposite sides of the globe
August 2019 onwards A class 24-hour record in its first race… two launched to date, more on order Feb 2021
A one-off development of Crédit Mutuel. And sponsored by Volvo (Belgium) Boat no1 has been bought by the 1996 pole vault Olympic gold medallist Jean Galfione! Very sleek and rapid-looking new fast-cruising cat. They just keep a-coming Contemporary-looking shorthanded tool par excellence with a full (light) interior Interesting commercial charter catamaran from a design team who know how it’s done
Redondo/Kramers/May/Dubois Heol/Multiplast/Lorima/Decision August 2019 onwards 15m by 11m, massive foils and rig and weighs in at 1,250kg. Tie the puppy down Lalou Multi Persico
The new Arkema 4 for skipper Quentin Vlamynck has started sea trials Just had a fun flight over the Alps by skyhook from Persico to meet its rig…

First example of a very exciting new Rán-styled semi-custom series build is offshore-oriented IRC racer-racer-cruiser with influence from Carkeek’s rapid and eye-catching Fast40s Full carbon racer-cruiser. That carbon fibre stuff is definitely catching on Another optimised IRC racer-cruiser, deliberately pitched just above TP52 size We’d love to say more but life’s too short. She’ll have some beds and she’ll fly, ciao! Verdier Imoca pointed at The Ocean Race for 11th Hour Racing Switchback’s half-built boat for the next Ocean Race is up for grabs
Impressive-looking IRC cruiser-racer from an interesting but little-known design studio We know it looks stunning… and incorporates flax and wicker in the build Boat no1 of a series build of a new and stylish carbon lift-keel racer-cruiser The second British AC75 is nearly there, as are the three other V2 boats
Interesting performance cruiser with foil-assist for righting moment and pitch-damping Carbon hull, deck, mast, rigging, sails, probably the loo as well. Just in time for next Christmas All of the pieces are steadily coming together in Brittany (where else – ed)
With the hulls now at HQ in Lorient for assembly François Gabart is hitting the boardrooms The first one-off custom Superyacht from Swan. One to look forward to
Gorgeous. Classic pilot cutter looks allied with modern design and heavy eco focus The biggest yet from Persico. Very light at 171 tonnes. Hybrid power for silent running Big, fast and fruity-looking new cruiser-racer from Rolfie. Should launch regatta ready
downwind (main and code
sail). The code sail retracts below deck using a powerful spool system. Captive winches will deal with line loads of up to 48 tonnes. An ambitious project well within the realms of current technology.
