Shenandoah of Sark
The 1902 classic 3-masted sailing yacht.
Welcome aboard the sailing yacht Atlantic
All about one of the most awesome classic yachts of all time, the three mast schooner Atlantic. Long time holder of the world record for the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean under sail, this one hundred and eighty-five foot schooner originally designed by William Gardner in 1903 has been relaunched and is sailing once more.

BROKER'S COMMENTS
It seems hard to believe it took so long for this magnificent vessel’s preliminary drawings to be given form. Perhaps the most authentic expression of John G. Alden’s highly successful fusion of the American fishing schooner as pleasure yacht, her 1927 design date parallels his most successful period in fast cruiser design, when his MALABARs ruled the waves. After gathering dust at the John G. Alden office for almost 90 years, along came an individual with the knowledgeable passion and vision to bring Design No. 347 to life as WOLFHOUND. All executed by the best possible people, including naval architect Niels C. Helleberg who began his Alden design career working beside the man who had originally drawn her lines. For her hull builder, Graafship, it’s the first time they’ve built a genuinely new classic schooner instead of a replica, and she was a labour of love for her finishing craftsmen. Since completion in 2021, WOLFHOUND already has two Atlantic crossings under her belt and a period of extensive Baltic cruising, all crewed by family and friends, and is very well-proven. Vindication of John Alden’s minimally crewed dream yacht for exploration adventures beyond the horizon: WOLFHOUND’s brave, wholesome appearance - very different from the replicas built for the classic regatta circuit - shouts this.

JOHN G. ALDEN DESIGN NO. 347 ORIGINAL DESIGN DATE: 1927 "His great confidence at sea and his skill as a deep-water helmsman and ocean-racing tactician were notable and were clearly grounded in experience. Combined with his eye for balance and shape, his experience gave him a unique ability to find the geometry that worked with the sea." Olin J. Stephens on John G. Alden in 'John G. Alden and his Yacht Designs' (1983) "One of the most impressive Alden designs, from the standpoint of beauty as well as size... In her profile and the shape of her sections, her Gloucester-fisherman ancestry is discernible." Robert W. Carrick & Richard Henderson in 'John G. Alden and his Yacht Designs' (1983) Alden design #347's lines were drawn for John G. Alden as the client by stalwart of the Alden office Clifford P. Swaine (1902-1992, worked with John G. Alden c. 1922-1979), a highly talented naval architect who could easily have branched out on his own, but stayed with Alden his whole working life. With no client involvement, we can easily speculate that this was Alden's dream yacht for adventures well beyond the horizon. But a client never materialised - perhaps because of the Great Depression - and the drawings for this magnificent vessel, infused with American fishing schooner genes, gathered dust until the incredibly complete John G. Alden archive became part of the Hart Collection at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when the Alden business closed in 2008, one year short of its centenary. The naval architecture career of Niels C. Helleberg (1940-2014, worked with John G. Alden 1971-2008) overlapped with Clifford Swaine. So it couldn't have been more poignant and appropriate that Helleberg would undertake the work to prepare the 20th Century drawings for a 21st Century build. Design #347 is a preliminary design that includes the final lines, two different rig and sail plans (a 2-masted and a 3-masted version), as well as a 3-masted accommodation plan. The 3-masted sail plan is by far the more spectacular design of the two. However, no detailed construction drawings were produced for this design in 1927. For this reason some of the details in the implementation were inferred from other Alden designs from the same time period. Helleberg was instrumental in creating this design in the the spirit of the 1920s Alden steel schooners. A number of details and specifications from the final Design #284 of STARLING (launched in 1926), including the 530 mm frame spacing, were used as a guide to finalise the #347 construction drawings faithfully in the spirit of John G. Alden. Although the preliminary design indicated that she would be built in wood, the final design is implemented in welded steel. The implementation in steel is consistent with the materials Alden used for most of his larger schooners from the era. However, to honor the heritage of the preliminary line drawings, the hull lines for the steel construction of WOLFHOUND retain what would have been the wood hull's moulded stem, the rabbet line, and the recessed bulwarks normally only seen on wooden hulls. From a distance she looks like a wood construction. WOLFHOUND is a very simple and straight forward yacht. John Alden wrote in his designer's notes about the intended small crew and general approach: “A three-masted schooner of this length is handled by a total crew of five men for coast wise work and seven when offshore, including the cook. There is no reason why this boat should require more if fittings are kept simple and plain. Of course the cost of construction is reduced to a minimum.” The theme, or philosophy, for the WOLFHOUND project from 2012 and onward would be AUTHENTICITY and EXTREME SIMPLICITY in the spirit of John Alden’s general philosophy expressed in his designer's comments.
GRAAFSHIP YARD NO. 455 - To Lloyd's A-1 specifications with a Lloyd's hull certificate Small to medium sized Dutch steel shipbuilders have long been held in high renown for a no-nonsense approach to the production of beautifully constructed, perfectly fair yacht hulls - often eventually carrying the name of the more famous yacht finisher they were built for. For over 20 years Graafship of Dordrecht, formerly Van der Graaf lasonderneming B.V. of Hardinxveld-Giessendam, have gained a particular reputation for classic schooner creations and re-creations, including ELEONORA (2000), NAEMA (2006), ATLANTIC (2010), INGOMAR (2012), and WOLFHOUND (hull completed 2016). Laid down in 2013, WOLFOUND was barged to Enhuizen in 2016 for the fit out by Opus Five Ltd. and André ten Broeke, with the major deck structures built by Absolute (Portugal). The rig was built by SRF Shipbuilding in Harlingen, and dressed by MdeGroot of Staveren. WOLFHOUND was commissioned in 2021.

Sea Eagle II: The inside story of the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht
- June 17, 2020
Rupert Holmes talks to the build and design teams behind the 81m Royal Huisman flagship Sea Eagle II, which recently completed her sea trials off the coast of the Netherlands
Royal Huisman has an enviable track record of producing superlative sailing superyachts , with hundreds of projects completed to date. Yet the latest vessel to leave the shipyard is extraordinary even by these standards. She is the world’s largest aluminium yacht and is one of the top ten biggest sailing yachts ever built.
Sea Eagle II is a magnificent 81m/266ft three-masted Panamax schooner, created by the same Dykstra and Mark Whiteley Design collaboration that produced the stunning 56m/186ft Royal Huisman ketch Aquarius just over a year ago.
Her very experienced owner has sailed all his life and spent a lot of time at sea. “ Sailing around the world in the weekends is a phrase often used to outline his days on board,” says Royal Huisman project manager Arjo Spans. He is also a repeat client – the original Sea Eagle is a 43m/143ft Frers/Rhoades Young design launched by the Dutch yard in 2015.

Initially the brief for the new boat was for a more classical yacht, similar to the 79m/259ft three-masted gaff schooner Athena , which Royal Huisman built for Silicon Valley mogul Jim Clark in 2004. However, the owner quickly realised he would prefer a more modern yacht: a fast-looking hull shape with straight lines, long waterline and plumb bow. The concept of Sea Eagle II was born.
“Having worked with him to build the original Sea Eagle , we understood the owner’s priorities from the start,” says Spans. “These are: low maintenance, functionality, and safety, including ease of moving around the yacht, even when heeled at sea.
“For each of the key aspects of the boat he asked for three proposals, he would then choose one of them and leave us to implement it,” Spans adds. “He put a huge amount of trust in the shipyard and in our craftsmanship.”

Royal Huisman reveals 116ft ‘floating resort’ catamaran superyacht concept
“This is not a change in direction; it is an expansion of possibilities,” says Jan Timmerman, CEO of the 136-year-old…
The scale of this yacht is nothing short of astounding. The sleek hull lines belie the 4m/13ft freeboard and the two-tier deckhouse, including a half-raised bridge, looks entirely in proportion. The main deck-level accommodation has a huge expanse of glass, with the 360º view interrupted only by minimal mullions. There are also acres of cockpit space, with room left over for a long sweep of uncluttered aft deck.
Mark Whiteley was responsible for developing the interior and refining the exterior styling. He created a simple and modern style for the interior, with straight lines. Lacquered Alpi walnut wall panels, brushed natural oak floors and dark stained wenge trims are complemented by light colour leather handrails and upholstered wall panels.
Part of the brief was for the yacht to be able to host business meetings – the forward part of the superstructure therefore includes a large saloon with expansive seating, plus a 16-seat table for formal dining.

A technical challenge
Dykstra Naval Architects drew a narrow and efficient hull shape with a maximum beam of only 12.4m/40ft, while displacement has been kept down to a relatively light 1,050 tonnes at full load. The final shape was achieved following extensive computational flow dynamics (CFD) calculations, velocity prediction programming (VPP), and testing in both tow tanks and wind tunnels. These all helped to determine sail balance, keel position and predicted rudder angles.
The plumb bow is balanced by a modest, but graceful, stern overhang, with a contemporary, relatively wide transom at deck level. Twin knuckle lines extend aft from near the bow, merging into one amidships and then forming a chine aft. Right aft the hull has negative curvature on the flare below the chine, which gives interesting reflections in the gleaming paintwork.
The lead naval architect, Dykstra’s Erik Wassen, told me he introduced the knuckle lines to give the hull “a bolder and more interesting shape.” The owner liked the concept and Mark Whiteley helped to refine the detail. Wassen describes the underwater shape as being: “a very modern round bilge shape, with a nice slender hull that gives good sailing capabilities.” Appendages are a conventional fin keel and balanced rudder.

The latter presented an interesting technical challenge, according to Wassen. Initially they looked at fabricating the rudder stock in steel, but that alone would weigh three tonnes. Screening a number of alternatives led to a decision to use carbon for the stock, with a foam core section clad in a relatively thin composite skin for the blade.
The result is what it’s producer, Royal Huisman’s sister company Rondal, believes to be the biggest ever carbon rudder, weighing only 1,250kg, which helps to keep weight out of the ends of the boat. The weight saving here also enabled the intended fore and aft trim to be achieved with the ballast in its optimal location.
The rudder includes load sensors to record and verify torque, side forces and bending moment while sailing. “There is not much load data available for rudders of this size of sailing yacht, so it’s very conservatively engineered,” says Spans. Fibre-optic sensors are incorporated to enable a database to be created that will help with designing future composite rudders for very large yachts.
Due to the distance of the helm stations from the rudder, the steering is via an electric-hydraulic system, which means there’s no feedback from the helm. The plan is to investigate whether data from the sensors can be used in a feedback system to give a more natural feel to steering the boat under sail.
Structural engineering
This is one of the most interesting elements of yacht design, yet is all too often under appreciated. Extensive modelling showed a couple of unexpected problems that needed clever solutions during Sea Eagle II ’s design and engineering.
Instead of the hull flexing smoothly under load, like an I-beam, the presence of a forward intermediate deck introduced hard spots in this area, resulting in stress concentrations at the forward end of the superstructure. This required a lot of design work to create a smooth transition of stress from the lower deck to the intermediate one and then on to the upper deck.
Structural engineering was extensively modelled for Sea Eagle II
The roof of the superstructure also posed a challenge, in that the inside surface of a beam needs to become shorter as it flexes. But the original plan for the aluminium roof wasn’t able to accommodate this, with the result the modelling showed stresses concentrating in the corners of the mullions and in the glass itself.
The solution was to avoid welding the top of the mullions to the roof, opting instead for a flexible joint that allows for movement when necessary. Wassen likens it to the joints in large buildings that need to be included to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.
Whiteley also helped to refine the exterior styling. In addition to the detail of the knuckles, his input helped to refine the shapes – particularly curves and softening corners – in the superstructure.

Panamax rig
The requirement to be able to clear the Bridge of the Americas at the Pacific end of the Panama canal called for the schooner rig with three equal masts. All are of carbon and are made by Rondal, with integrated sail handling systems and Carbo-Link carbon standing rigging.
Each mast has in-boom furling, while the aft two have staysails for use when reaching. The tank and wind tunnel testing was used to verify different headsail options, particularly to determine the differences between a large blade jib versus a large staysail or yankee.
“Obviously you have better windward performance with a large blade,” says Wassen, “but as soon as you bear away the yankee is much more forgiving in trimming, so we decided that made more sense.” A further advantage is that when the yankee is part furled the sheeting point remains the same.
Rondal’s Integrated Sailing System consists of the three carbon Panamax masts with furling booms, hydraulic boomvangs, headsail furling systems, deck winches and equipment, captive winches and continuous solid carbon standing rigging by Carbo-Link, all equipped with load sensing capabilities.

In addition, a blade jib requires much higher sheet loads to maintain leech tension. Even though Sea Eagle II is a three-masted yacht, the yankee sheet loads are still predicted to reach 18 tonnes – but this still allows standard-size captive winches to be used, rather than larger custom-made units.
The Panamax limitation obviously poses the question as to whether sail area needed to be compromised to fulfil this criteria. However, this is clearly not the case for Sea Eagle II . Hull speed is close to 20 knots and the yacht is clearly capable of surfing at much higher speeds, despite being designed as a pure cruiser. This role, of course, suggests keeping heel angles to a maximum of 10-15°.
Nevertheless, the VPP figures suggest potential boat speeds of 17-18 knots in 16 knots of true breeze with a true wind angle of 70°. “As soon as you can ease the sheets a little bit, we have a lot of sail area,” says Wassen, “so on a beam reach, I wouldn’t be surprised if a steady 20 knots is possible.”

Owner & Guests
- Previous Yacht
Special Features:
- 2nd Largest sailing yacht in the World
- Built for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos
- Additional power source from kinetic energy generated by the sails
- Large swimming pool main deck aft
- Wealth of toys and accessories
- 75m (247ft) support vessel ABEONA
- Innovative kinetic energy recovery system to covert wave-induced motion for sustainable cruising
Sailing yacht KORU offers the last word in innovative design coupled with a wealth of luxurious amenities for the very best sailing experience for her guests.
The 127m (416'8") Oceanco sailing yacht KORU (previously known as Y721) represents one of the largest sailing yachts in the world, with an impressive internal volume of 3,300 GT and wealth of luxurious accommodation and amenities.
Commissioned by entrepreneur and Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, the 3-masted schooner KORU, known throughout the build as Project Y721 replaces Oceanco’s BLACK PEARL for second place in the world's largest sailing yacht rankings behind Nobiskrug's 143m (469ft) sailing yacht A , and operates under the Cayman Islands' flag.
Exterior Design
Reportedly taking its design cues from the 93-meter Lurssen sail yacht EOS, the yacht features a midnight-blue hull with an elongated bowsprit and traditional canoe stern, with classic lines reminiscent of some of the finest schooners in the world. As expected from a tech entrepreneur, known for pushing boundaries and driving innovation, sailing yacht KORU is trialing a prototype for a new kinetic energy recovery system. This is based on a conversion of wave induced motion, heave, pitch and roll into electric energy, with initial tests showing early promise. With a nod to her green credentials, this will provide an additional power source for the yacht allowing for more enhanced sustainable cruising.
Interior Design
Oceanco's newest yacht is understood to have an internal volume of 3,300 GT and will undoubtedly offer a wealth of luxurious accommodation and amenities. Sailing yacht KORU benefits from full-length windows across her superstructure allowing plenty of light to infuse her elegant interiors.
Guest Accommodation
With her wide beam the 127-meter sailing yacht KORU offers generous accommodation for her guests, equipped with the finest linens and state-of-the-art technology.
Onboard Comfort & Entertainment
Sailing yacht KORU is served by the 75-meter (247ft) Damen support vessel ABEONA (ex-Wingman). This yacht will be equipped with KORU's larger toys, rumored to include a submarine for thrilling excursions beneath the waves a la Jules Verne, plus a helicopter and landing pad. She is also believed to house an array of PWCs, as well as a speed boat and a luxury car, as well as providing accommodation for additional crew and staff.
Although we have little information about the yacht's features, we do know that she will have an aft dip pool on her main deck, along with a further Jacuzzi on her sundeck and variety of alfresco social spaces. Pictures show that she also has a crow's nest attached to her central mast, offering lofty panoramic views for her more adventurous guests.
Access to sailing yacht KORU will be via folding side passerelles, discreetly hidden in the yacht's hull on either side. Rescue and work tender launches will likely take place further forward, as per regulations. Recent pictures show a large hatch opening in her lower deck aft, which may contain further tenders and toys, but may also double as a beach club.
Performance & Range
KORU is a 3,300 GT sailing yacht, built with a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, with teak decks. She was built to Lloyds Register ✠ 100A1 SSC Yacht Mono, G6, ECO(IHM) ✠ LMC UMS classification society rules.

Robust and original
The three-masted Artemis is an astonishing example of nautical tradition. The ship was built in Norway in 1926 for whale fishing. Later on it was used as a cargo ship between Asia and South America.
The Artemis is sailing since 2001 on the North European waters to honour the glory of the Dutch sailing fleet! The Frisian Tall Ship Company bought the Artemis at the end of the last century and built it with a lot of love and a sense of detail back into a stunningly sailing ship. Now she crosses the seas to historic port cities or to one of the many nautical events.
Robust and original, that is the appearance of the Artemis. At the same time, the ship offers high comfort and luxury. It is precisely this combination that makes the ship unique and loved by international events and sea voyages. The barque has an attractive maritime salon with bar and a small hotel kitchen.
The Artemis can accommodate up to 120 people. Her guests can look forward to experienced and enthusiastic service staff and excellent catering. And of course, on a great nautical experience aboard on this unique three-master with a driven sailing crew, the most modern navigation equipment and fully prescribed safety equipment for the big voyage.
Welcome to the rich history of the Dutch sailing heritage. Welcome to the Artemis!

HDNA has been asked to design an 85m three-masted schooner to be built in steel with aluminium spars for economy. Built to the Passenger Yacht Code she will be capable of accommodating 36 paying guests in genuine luxury. With extensive sun bathing and on-deck seating areas, a spa and two topsides opening doors to form balconies, she will have many appealing features and be able offer a genuine sailing experience with guest involvement. Hybrid diesel electric propulsion will be part of hydrogeneration capability provided by her free-wheeling propeller when sailing at her anticipated 18-20 knots.
