Since ancient times, the sails were considered a symbol of freedom, enormous hope and inspiration. A modern sailing boats impressive size can successfully combine the uniqueness of technology, comfort and speed. This is the yacht became a luxury sloop ‘Sea Eagle’ by Royal Huisman Dutch company.
Sailboats “supermaxi ‘division – a special class of boats, which perfectly combines the features of a racing car with the inherent minimum comfort. They are born to lead a fierce “battle” with rivals and elements in regattas Rolex 600M Offshore Classic or at least well-known to inflame passions: Bucket Regatta and Heineken Regatta, Antigua Sailing Week and the Grenada Sailing Week, Les Voiles de St. Barth and St. Tropez. However, in the world there is a boat golden mean – a cruise-racing yacht overnight and different speed, and comfort, and beauty. Recently their fleet replenished semi-custom luxury sloop ‘Sea Eagle’.
PROUD STAN. CONCEPT AND DESIGN
sailboat concept was developed by naval architect German Frers. In the sketches of talented Argentine designed many yachts that won the race around the world, including the Volvo Ocean Race. During his long career master twice managed to win the main prize of the America’s Cup designer and designing boats for the leading companies in the industry.
Interior design for luxury sloop was brought to life by an ambitious team of Rhoades Young Design. The idea was that the masters, to offer customers a modern and timeless design with age, which could satisfy all expectations. And considering that the owner of an experienced yachtsman and plans to personally participate in the races, the requirements imposed were quite high.
Before the beauty of this luxury sloop can stand still for a long time with a sense of genuine excitement. Rapid lines slim, handsome with a narrowed nose delightfully twinkling dark-blue sheen. For the manufacture of the housing shipbuilders benefited from high-strength aluminum alloy Alustar, which made the boat very easy. In this base yacht different small area of contact with water. The good stability and sailing ease of maneuvering is provided by a fixed-bulb keel with a draft of 4.5 m and a carbon-fiber steering pen.
Laconic Chevy White color superstructure rises slightly above the deck. Search visual designers simplicity and minimizing protrusions of various mechanisms has led to the fact that most of the equipment hidden from view. As a result – “pure” deck, spacious and free.
MAST, RIGGING AND HIS MAJESTY THE SAIL
By becoming the main dimensions of the sloop, Rondal mast rises 53 meters and is capable of carrying more than 1,000 square meters of sails. Its main feature is that it is made of carbon fiber and is a one-piece construction, endowed with increased strength and flexibility. These important features allow the mast to give excellent aerodynamic shape and make sails flatter furthermore optimally designed interaction sails and rigging. Standing rigging is made of high-Nitronic stainless steel is complemented durable Kevlar strings that have a lower resistance, as they have a small diameter and smooth surface. In turn, the running rigging yacht is made of Kevlar and Gleistein Spectra. These high-strength lightweight materials and possess low elongation and minimally absorb water.
At Royal Huisman three sails: mainsail in the main 506 m² staysail – 142 m² and blade jib – 459 m², which increases “wardrobe” sloop. The choice of sails yacht owner personally involved. Their sparkling white looks spectacular on the turquoise ocean surface. the choice was made in favor of “nerulonnogo” laminate company North Sails To reduce weight and achieve the desired shape of sailcloth. This sail is very strong and does not stretch over time, unlike traditional products.
That only is the control system of the sails! Installation pair forestay (gear, holding the mast) in the bow deck will facilitate sailing manipulation. For example, when nadvigayu–down storm or when it is necessary to reduce the sail area, as they say in the world of yachting “take reefs”, perfectly helps the system spins at each strut. It allows you in a few seconds to wind the cloth genoa and blade jib. For grotto also uses the latest system of folding in the boom (horizontal bar to stretch the lower edge of the sail). All this has reduced the burden on the small crew and provided ease of setting and reefing sails.
ERGONOMICS
On the ‘Sea Eagle’ you can safely go to cross the Atlantic. Judge for yourself, the fuel reserves of more than 20 tons of fresh water and 5 300 liters make for a very good autonomy. A good addition to the rigged sloop is a 715-horsepower Caterpillar C18 diesel.
The vessel immediately attract the attention of well thought-out plan and the attitude to detail. For example, next to each control post ‘Sea Eagle’ has a seat for steering, which is useful for leisurely transatlantic crossings. Nice touch carbon fiber steering wheels, large control panel and excellent visibility make it possible to obtain detailed information about the behavior of sailing equipment, as well as all the events that take place on the deck.
Level difference allowed for a clear zoning and separate the recreation area from the more “technical” sections of the deck. superstructure visor smoothly into bimini-top, allowing to expand the area for a good time in the open air, in particular, on a unique elevated “deck of tea.” In the bow is arranged a small lounger, where you can sunbathe during the stops. But as soon as the boat need to “alert”, for example, to participate in the regatta – sanpada pads are easy to remove.
No less interesting and the aft region of space with reverse transom. Here almost the entire width of the boat offers a large hydraulic swim platform with a ladder. And enlarged garage in the same area allowed to place 5.2-meter Castoldi Jet boat. With hydraulic rear door rises, and the platform is immersed in water, allowing the water to pull the tender.
INNER WORLD ‘SEA EAGLE’
Designers used the Royal Huisman place amidships under the spacious lounge, which is quiet and elegant space. Thanks to the huge windows, he literally immersed in the sun, and it seems more than it actually is. Left on board – a soft corner, to the right – a great dining area, where breakfast table for ten people. Here you can enjoy long hours of seascapes.
Also salon serves as a link to the lower deck, through it opens access to the living area or tehzonu. Stylized spiral staircase leads to the guest chamber, where the aft posted spacious apartment for the owner and two guest cabins. The master suite is divided into three functional areas. In one of them there is a small lounge where you can sit on a private afternoon tea. The second is reserved for a small office. And finally, the third area – a cozy bedroom. It is equipped with two single beds, instead of one large standard. This solution is used not often, but it can be an advantage for charter. Of course, in the master suites has a bathroom with a shower. One of the interesting features can be noted that the owner of the cabin has an additional output to the cockpit on the upper deck, and within just a few seconds, it can, if necessary, take the helm. For registration suites interior decoration designers chose French walnut wood, perfectly contrasts with tiruyuschuyu of bleached oak flooring. They advantageously complements the soft padding of the walls and the insertion of birch wood, giving the space of ease and comfort.
The decoration of guest cabins in common with the design of the apartment owner and the sloop supplemented wireless systems of acoustic Harman Kardon, combines stylish looks and great sound quality.
In general, about the comfort of the passengers here can talk endlessly. Carefully designed layout allows guests privacy, because the engine room and the living compartment of the crew is a separate staircase. On the one hand, easy access commands in tehzonu, on the other – this solution has allowed not to intrude into the private area of the guest space.
