Sailing Yacht A - impressive or excessive?

Posted on: 14th May 2018 14th June 2018

Undoubtedly one of the most talked about yachts over the past few years…

Sailing Yacht A has drawn global attention for her unique form, massive size and well-known owner. Built for Russian billionare yacht owner Andrey Melnichenko, the boundary pushing Sailing Yacht A is a natural head turner. Launched in 2015, the vessel is a sail-assisted motor yacht built in Kiel by Nobiskrug. Her propulsion consists of a variable-speed hybrid power plant with two-line shaft controllable-pitch propellers, that is sail-assisted by a three-mast fore-and-aft sailing rig.

On its launch the yacht boasted the tallest carbon masts in the world, each measuring in at more than 90 metres long. The masts host sails that are larger than a football field. The vessel also features an underwater observation pod in the keel with 30 cm (12 in) thick glass. It is the largest private sail-assisted motor yacht in the world.

Have you seen her in the flesh? Would love to hear your views on this one!

Our Customers Say:

Today we took delivery of our brand new Jeanneau Merry fisher 1295 Fly Motor Yacht. The team at Morgan Marine are exceptional at delivering customer service, advice, engineering, you name it - they have got it nailed. We asked for some modifications to the specification which they gladly helped with, upgraded access ladder to fly, synthetic teak to decks and upgraded nav package to name a few. The ladder was designed and fabricated onsite (amazing job) and the whole package was ready on time as promised. Thanks so much guys.

Thought I’d send you a note to say how pleased I am with the MF 1095 and all the systems that you’ve put in. The boat has done 20 hours and the engines will be serviced shortly. There have been no issues arising and all systems function properly.

Can I take this opportunity to thank you for taking the time helping me with this. It is refreshing to work with you and your organisation and receive great customer service along with outstanding attention to detail. Normally I just get stock answers because I am asking technical questions which would involve doing some work.

Just to thank you all for a very efficient and professional service. Thank you for delivering our boat to the Norfolk Broads and sorting out our bow thruster.

I love an “anything can be done” attitude! Wish you & your team were closer to Poole

Thank you for all your help and fantastic service
