Discover These New Yacht Constructions For 2013

By Aaron Linebarger


Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: The Dubois 101m Sloop is intended to be an agile sailor despite her length and extensive tank tests have been carried out at the Wolfson Unit in the United Kingdom, probably the world's most experienced research establishment with regard to sailing yachts. The 885' (207m) Haslar tank was used with a 1:17 scale mode (19'3"), which confirmed the designers computer-generated expectations regarding performance at speeds up to 26-kmots in a variety of sea states.

Yacht Jongert 3200P: Our favorite feature is the direct access to a private terrace from the owner's suite and an aft bulkhead that will be built predominantly out of glass, providing immense sea views and an abundance of natural light. This is a theme that runs throughout the yacht, with tall vertical windows below decks providing light and views to guest staterooms, while the upper deck superstructure features full height glazed windows. At the stern, the yacht's twin helm stations dominate the spacious main deck cockpit, which is intended to integrate entertainment and navigation functions, enabling guests to feel close to the action, if they wish.

Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: GCA also worked on the 160' (53.5m) sailing yacht Nirvana, built by Vitters, and which bears Dubois' handiwork as well. The GA calls for four 387sqft (36sqm) guest suits, two of which will feather double beds while twin beds will occupy the remaining two. A full-beam owner's suite (almost 50' across), with separate his-and-hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, and a large, shared shower compartment, sits amidships.

Yacht Miss Tor 40m Schooner: This 131' (40m) steel schooner is currently in-build at the Orucoglu Shipyard in Turkey. With a superstructure more commonly associated with a motor yacht than a sailing schooner, she boats impressive interior volume, with a living space in excess of 1,640sqft (500sqm). On her twin 450hp MAN engines alone she is capable of a 14-knot cruising speed, while her three masts will provide sound sailing performance despite her 165 ton gross tonnage.

Yacht Miss Tor 40m Schooner The Miss Tor 40m Schooner is a heavy yacht, but her draft of just 6' (1.8m) will provide her with the ability to cruise shallow waters and enter small inlets inaccessible to sailing yachts with a deeper keel. Below decks, there is accommodation for ten guests in five staterooms, including the owner's suite, which occupies the full beam on the lower deck.

Yacht Dubois 101m Sloop: This yacht has 410' mast and 137' boom. The UK design firm Dubois Naval Architects unveiled design proposal for a remarkable 101m sailing sloop in early 2012. By the beginning of 2013, the contract had been sold and construction was due to start as INVICTUS went to print. It is the firm's largest yacht to date, and will be the largest sloop-rigged sailing yacht in the world upon completion.

Yacht Miss Tor 40m Schooner The views over the yacht's wake from here are sure to be impressive. A large bathing platform completes the yacht's amenities, and her designers appear to have left room in the tall transom for a tender garage that could double up as a beach club, although this has not been confirmed by the Orucoglu Shipyard. With several decades experience building leisure yachts, Miss Tor is the brand name under which the yard, part of Orucoglu Holding one of the well-known leading groups of Turkey, produces their yachts.

Yacht Miss Tor 40m Schooner Orucoglu build yachts between 140' and 270'. They've been active in the mega yacht sector since the turn of the 21st century. Delivery of the Miss Tor 40m Schooner is scheduled for June 2013. Here are her specifications: LOA: 131' (40M), BEAM: 24' (7.5M), DRAFT: 6' (1.8M), GROSS TONNAGE: 165 GT, ENGINES: 2 x 450 HP MAN MARINE, CRUISING SPEED: 14- KNOTS, MAXIMUM SPEED: 16 KNOTS, GUESTS: 10, STATEROOMS: 5, BUILDER: ORUCOGLU SHIPYARD
