Combien consomme un yacht ?

Il y a quelques semaines de cela, nous nous étions interrogés sur le coût de l’entretien d’un yacht ; aussi pour aller plus loin sur ce point, nous avons souhaité nous intéresser tout particulièrement à sa consommation en carburant car il est vrai que ce poste de dépense peut vite devenir important. Aussi, en tant que broker de yachts de luxe, CSO Yachts vous présente les différents éléments à connaître pour faire son choix de bateau en toute transparence.

Quels sont les critères d’importance pour estimer la consommation d’un yacht ?

Les bateaux de luxe que sont les yachts, à l’instar des voitures, consomment plus ou moins de carburant en fonction de certains facteurs. Aussi pour vous aider et vous permettre de faire votre choix en toute sérénité, CSO Yachts vous propose de les découvrir ; en d’autres termes, grâce à ces critères de sélection, vous pourrez faire cette acquisition en toute connaissance de cause :

– Le type de yacht : il s’agit certes d’un critère évident quand on cherche à savoir combien consomme un yacht mais que l’on ne doit pas négliger. En effet, selon le type de yacht que vous choisirez (à moteur ou à voile) sa consommation ne sera pas la même : un yacht à voiles peut se propulser grâce au vent (les moteurs viennent en soutien en cas de faible houle) alors qu’un bateau à moteur aura nécessairement besoin de ses moteurs pour naviguer. 

– La motorisation : un autre facteur d’importance pour déterminer combien consomme un yacht est la puissance de ses moteurs. Plus le moteur est gros, plus il demandera du carburant pour l’alimenter.

– Le poids et la taille du yacht : par exemple, on estime qu’en moyenne la consommation d’un yacht de 70 mètres de long est d’environ 500 litres de diesel par heure (de ce fait, vous devez compter un budget annuel de carburant de près de 400 000 $). Pour résumer, plus le navire est gros et grand, plus il a besoin de carburant pour fonctionner (si vous êtes à la recherche d’un yacht plus sobre énergétiquement, vous opterez pour un modèle de plus petite taille : nos agents pourront vous conseiller à ce sujet).

– La vitesse de navigation : gardez en tête que plus la vitesse du navire augmente, plus sa consommation aussi.

– L’entretien : on n’y pense pas suffisamment mais un bateau et un moteur mal entretenus auront tendance à consommer davantage. C’est pourquoi, en tant que broker de luxe, nous vous conseillons vivement de veiller au respect des consignes de maintenance fournies par le constructeur pour garantir des performances et une longévité optimales à votre yacht.

– Le type de coque: déplacement, semi-déplacement, planante.

Les réservoirs de carburant : un critère primordial pour déterminer l’autonomie de votre yacht

Les réservoirs quant à eux déterminent la portée ou l’autonomie de votre bateau. Ainsi, en disposant de grands réservoirs, votre yacht aura une autonomie plus importante en mer et vous permettra donc d’effectuer de plus grandes traversées sans avoir à vous soucier d’effectuer le plein. Cet aspect ne doit donc pas être décorrélé de la question “ combien consomme un yacht ? ” car cela vous évitera de nombreux aller-retour au port pour remplir vos réservoirs en carburant.

À noter que la plupart des yachts mesurant plus de 40 mètres de long disposent d’une autonomie de croisière équivalente à celle d’une traversée transatlantique, soit environ 3 000 milles. 

Comment calculer la consommation de votre navire ?

Comme n’importe quel autre véhicule, il est indispensable d’estimer la consommation en carburant de votre yacht pour non seulement planifier un voyage mais aussi prévoir le coût annuel que cela va représenter pour votre portefeuille. 

Le calcul se fait en Litre par Mile nautique et est référencé par un essai en mer où le nombre de litres est divisé par la distance parcourue. De manière générale, on estime que la consommation en carburant d’un bateau essence correspond à peu près au tiers et, dans le cas d’un bateau diesel au cinquième, de la puissance maximale de son moteur. 

Néanmoins, bien entendu, il ne s’agit que d’un calcul estimatif puisque d’autres facteurs tels que la force du vent et des courants ou encore le fonctionnement de certains équipements (climatisation, piscine…) vont impacter considérablement cette consommation. 

Quel est le carburant utilisé par un yacht ?

Dans la majorité des cas, les yachts, mega yachts et autres superyachts fonctionnent à l’aide d’une motorisation diesel. Il ne s’agit pas d’un carburant standard tel qu’on peut le trouver dans les stations service traditionnelles mais bel et bien d’une énergie spécifique : en l’occurrence un diesel marine léger de couleur bleue. Il comporte au moins 0,1% de soufre et ses caractéristiques de tenue au froid varient en fonction de la saison.

Combien consomme un yacht ? CSO Yachts à votre service !

On le voit au prix d’achat du yacht, les frais annexes d’équipage, d’entretien et de consommation qui s’ajoutent ne doivent pas être négligés et même pris en compte au moment de votre acquisition ! En effet, pour les bateaux les plus grands, ils peuvent représenter plusieurs millions d’euros par an.

Aussi, afin de devenir propriétaire en toute tranquillité, notre équipe est là pour vous conseiller. Ensemble, nous étudierons et définirons attentivement vos critères de recherche pour dénicher, dans le monde entier, le yacht le plus à même de vous satisfaire. 

En tant que spécialiste de ce secteur, nous en maîtrisons parfaitement ces différents aspects et nous pourrons donc estimer le plus justement le coût annuel de votre future propriété ! Soyez-en certain, avec CSO Yachts, vous ne serez jamais seul.

Yachts And Fuel – How Much Do They Really Consume?

Fuel is one of many annual running costs of a yacht. Not only does the yacht need fuel for cruising; the generators require it to keep the vessel running while at anchor and underway. As well as this, many of the water sports toys require it too.

Some yachts cross the Atlantic Ocean twice a year between the Mediterranean and Caribbean while others embark on world cruises. That equates to a lot of fuel.

So How Much Do They Really Consume?

According to the Yachting Pages, the longest Superyacht in the world, 180m M/Y Azzam, holds 1,000,000 litres of fuel. To put it into perspective, that is the equivalent of filling a regular hatchback car 23,800 times. Or, six Boeing 747 commercial airliners.

West Nautical’s Vessel Manager, Tony Hildrew, a former Yacht Chief Engineer said:

“Fuel is the single biggest expense when it comes to yacht operations, it is estimated that the global spend on fuel is around $150bn annually however this shouldn’t put you off, there are a number of ways to ensure your fuel consumption doesn’t get out of hand. Implementing a Ships Energy Efficiency Management Plan or SEEMP for short is a great way to keep fuel costs down without compromising on your cruising experience.”

Each yacht will consume fuel differently for a number of reasons. It could be the size and make of the engines. Or, how often the yacht is using generators. As well as the number of tenders and water sports toys on board that require fuel. For example, if the yacht is out at anchor and running on generators 90% of the time, the fuel consumption will be much higher than a yacht that is in a marina at night and connected to shore power and water.

Another factor that will affect fuel consumption is the yacht’s itinerary. This is because the sea conditions will impact how much fuel the engines consume.

How Is Consumption Measured?

You will be able to input the start and ending points of your cruise on the map. This will automatically update the distance table. The next step is to enter the speed, fuel consumption and cost of fuel per litre to determine the cost of the trip.

Here is an example: A fast 30m yacht cruising at 20 knots will consume roughly 400 – 500 litres depending on the engine type. This would equate to the total consumption of 2500 litres for a distance of 100 nautical miles.

Another example is, a 70m yacht looking to travel 100 nautical miles with the engines burning 1000 litres per hour would add up to a total consumption of 8335L for that passage. Depending on where the yacht bunkered, the estimated cost with the price per litre being on the low end at €0.90 per litre would cost a total of €7501.50. An example of a 100 nautical mile passage would take you from Saint Tropez to The North Coast of Corsica.

How Much Does It Cost?

Fuel prices fluctuate depending on which country you bunker in and some places you bunker offer tax free fuel such a Gibraltar and Montenegro. Fuel prices can vary but typically costs between €0.80 and €1.30 per litre.

Yacht charter, sales and management company West Nautical added:

“Fuel costs should be at the top of any yacht owner and captain’s minds for two reasons: to minimise costs as well as reduce the environmental impact of burning unnecessary fuel. The superyacht charter market, more than most other markets, relies on pristine waters for their guests to enjoy their holiday. If the oceans in popular charter destinations are not maintained, it will decrease the demand for yacht charter and therefore the revenue for owners.” “If you are looking for expertise in operational management and engineering in order to plan a SEEMP, West Nautical would be delighted to assist.”

Dufour 48 sailboat

An innovative luxury yacht of almost 15 metres.

The Dufour 48 yacht offers an unparalleled experience and promotes living in the great outdoors, a return to the ocean. This luxury 15- meter sailing yacht reveals an aft cockpit that guarantees instinctive, safe and convivial sailing. A new feature is a second cockpit with sunbathing areas forward on the yacht, offering unrivalled comfort both under way and at anchor.

With the Dufour 48, the shipyard is continuing to innovate, again and again. The DNA of the Dufour brand has been preserved to offer owners the performance and comfort they deserve. The teams’ extensive know-how and experience promise a robust, efficient yacht for all types of boating.

A LUXURY YACHT DESIGNED FOR OUTDOOR LIVING

The Dufour 48 luxury yacht has been designed for enjoying the fresh air on the ocean. Life on board is comfortable at all times, both below deck and outside.

The aft cockpit has been redesigned to offer significant space. When under way, moving around on board is simple and natural. Two tables provide a splendid spot for enjoying meals or simply relaxing at anchor.

What would a Dufour be without its aft platform? Once again equipped with a plancha grill, it comes with a host of new features. It’s a genuine outdoor galley, equipped with all the essentials.

To complete the layout, the Dufour 48 has a second cockpit, this time, forward. Here, a sun lounger can be installed for unforgettable moments of relaxation at anchor or under way.

EVER MORE MODERN LINES

The design of the Dufour 48 sailboat has been redrawn by naval architect Umberto Felci of Felci Yachts Design. The lines are fluid and the boat offers a great amount of volume. The usual coachroof glazing has been redesigned as longitudinal windows with integrated opening hatches.

EXCEPTIONAL LIGHT

Already a focal point aboard previous models of the Dufour 48, light is once again a major feature. The coachroof’s full-length windows provide constant light, which is diffused throughout the interior saloon and galley.

When the mattresses from the sun loungers are removed from the forward cockpit, large windows are revealed, letting in even more light to the yacht’s interior.

OPTIMISED INTERIORS

Depending on which version of the Dufour 48 sailboat you choose, all the furniture has been optimised to ensure unrivalled comfort. If you choose the forward or lateral galley, there is always plenty of storage space provided.

Dedicated interior saloon tables have been created by interior designer Ardizio Design. These are optimised for the three- and four-cabin versions.

In the cabins, blackout blinds are integrated directly into the ceiling. So, despite the brightness of the boat, you won’t be disturbed by the very first rays of daybreak.

Superyachts are the most elite asset a person can own, your own private yacht to cruise the world’s most beautiful destinations. Some yachts cross the Atlantic Ocean twice a year between the Mediterranean and Caribbean while others embark on world cruises.

First look: Owen Clarke 15m expedition yacht

• Rupert Holmes
• April 21, 2022

This new Owen Clarke 15m expedition yacht is designed as a go-anywhere cruiser which can take on all parts of the planet from the tropics to the Northwest Passage

The Owen Clarke 15m is an aluminium lifting keel expedition yacht, which builds on the success of the Owen Clarke-designed 20m (66ft) Qilak , one of the most notable vessels of its type to be launched in recent years.

The Owen Clark 15m, Lynx , was commissioned for its very experienced Swiss owners to explore all parts of the planet, from the tropics to the Northwest Passage, so the hull is reinforced to deal with ice encounters.

Quick passage times are one of Lynx ’s strengths, despite its smaller size and the weight associated with systems, tankage and equipment needed for long periods of self sufficiency.

Climate analysis for a number of voyages indicate average speeds under sail of more that 8 knots are achievable. Yet this is a yacht that carries enough diesel to motor for 3,000 miles, with a generous reserve.

This was a prerequisite for transiting the Northwest Passage, which invariably involves covering the colossal mileage in a tight time frame. The large tankage will also enable the boat to remain on schedule when faced with light winds during other long passages.

The hull shape carries the broad beam well aft, with soft chines and twin rudders, plus relatively full forward sections. This is topped by a 7/8ths fractional rig, with a furling/reefing jib, furling staysail and optional carbon spars.

Owen Clarke-designed expedition yacht Lynx is being built for comfortable extended cruising off grid

This approach, and much of the deck layout, has a lot in common with today’s short-handed raceboats, although a displacement close to 17 tonnes gives this boat a very different character. This is echoed in the deck gear, which includes granny bars for safety when working at the mast, plus five hefty mooring bollards each side for securing in small, sheltered coves.

The boat is also designed to carry two tenders – a smaller one can be stowed in the lazarette, while a substantial military spec boat, with inflatable keel and floor, will fit on the foredeck. This can also be stowed in the forepeak when not in use.

Excellent shelter at the forward end of the cockpit is provided by the aft overhang of the pilothouse roof, below which there’s full standing headroom. The main accommodation is laid out with two double aft cabins each side of the machinery space, plus a generous galley to port and saloon forward of the box for the lifting keel.

Pullman berths opposite allow a further four people to sleep in this part of the boat if necessary. The area forward of the main bulkhead is given over to workshop and extensive storage areas. This is also the second design Owen Clarke has produced with a two-person sauna, with the space able to double as additional stowage when necessary.

It’s easy for project creep to filter into custom yacht designs, with a seemingly small number of improvements resulting in a larger yacht than originally planned. However, Allen Clarke says this tendency was strongly resisted for two reasons. The first was one of containing the overall budget, but the second was equally important – keeping the boat small enough to be easily handled by the owner and his partner.

Clarke told me it was therefore “a challenge to create enough space in the pilothouse for a decent size wet locker, good navstation and a full-length sea berth.” At the same time, the owner would have liked a coffee grinder in the cockpit to facilitate handling the rig, but that would have required an extra three feet of overall length, so there are two electric winches instead.

The result is “a boat that reflects a very specific set of client requirements,” Clarke says. “That’s why the saloon is further forward than usual and there’s an expansive workshop and stowage area in the forepeak.” The latter was one of many necessities to make the boat genuinely self-sufficient for very extended periods. Although intended as a private yacht, Lynx is one of the few boats of her size to fully comply with the MGN 280 code for commercial/charter voyages in all oceans and polar regions. Building started in February this year at the Koopmans Kasko’s yard in northern Holland.

Creating a maintenance schedule for a 15m motor yacht.

Owning a 15m yacht can be challenging. The boat is too small for a crew, so you’ll have to wear many hats. You are the captain, engineer, and deck officer, all in one. This requires a practical nature and strong organization skills. 

In this article, we help you set up a maintenance schedule for your 15m motor yacht. We also discuss the best way to track expenses, and when these might be higher. After reading this post you will have the tools to create a better overview of your boat’s needs, and more time to enjoy it.

How to track maintenance tasks on a 15m yacht

How much does it cost to maintain a 15m yacht, repairs vs maintenance tasks.

Since you will most likely work on the vessel alone, there will be many tasks to attend to. You may have to start your day by checking the proper operation of all essential and non-essential systems. This could be followed by cleaning, repairs, and logistics. Finally, you may need to communicate with marinas, repair services, and suppliers. 

All in all, a heavy workload requires proper planning. Thankfully, planned maintenance systems (PMS) can help with that. They usually come in the form of software applications and can be accessed by desktop or phone. You can use them to organize recurring maintenance tasks, set triggers, review daily work, and create a log of past repairs. This can be useful for insurance purposes, time efficiency, and saving on potential costs associated with avoidable mistakes.

The cost of a PMS is also very competitive, considering the money and time you will save by being organized at all times. Our PMS software, PlanM8, is a great example. You can inquire for a 15-day free trial and have a qualified team assist you with the whole setup process. The app is customizable, and thus very adaptable to the needs of your vessel.

On average, a 15m yacht costs between $20.000 and $25.000 to maintain. This amount can easily double if you decide to make a long trip overseas (mainly due to fuel). The best way to track your expenses is by using a simple excel sheet. We have prepared a sample sheet that you can use for this purpose. You can view and download it by clicking here . Simply click on File , and then on Make a copy. You can now use the sheet online or download it to your storage if an internet connection is hard to establish.

So, what should you track? In the sheet, we have categorized costs into some basic categories.

Tracking sheet breakdown

• Fuel - This will most likely be your biggest annual expense if you plan to make trips. Obviously, if you just keep the vessel in your main port and go nowhere, the cost will be close to zero.
• Oil/Filters/Racors - This tab refers to the yearly oil change, filter change, and other related maintenance tasks.
• Slips - That’s what you pay to keep your yacht docked at the port. You may pay an annual fee to reserve a spot year round, which may lead to a small discount. Alternatively, all short stays and their fees should be calculated together.
• Repairs - Add costs related to repairs of all systems onboard. If you choose to fix a breakdown add costs related to supplies you had to purchase.
• Improvements - Costs related to things you do to the vessel to improve it, not necessarily attend a breakdown. This can include preventative maintenance. For example, you may choose to update your electronics or add new driveshaft ceilings.
• Maintenance - Maintenance tasks do not have certain timeframes of recurrence. Some may have to be performed on a quarterly basis while others have to be done every 10 years. To improve long-term tracking, you may want to spread the expenses across time. For example, if a maintenance task costs $1200 but has to be performed only once per year, you can add $100 to each month of the ensuing year.
• Cleaning - You can here add the costs of cleaning services and, if needed, cleaning products.
• Insurance - Add the combined cost of your annual insurance needs.
• Tips - Here you can add the tips you have given (e.g. for the dock hands of your local marina).
• Miscellaneous - All other smaller costs are best grouped in one category unless you want to add more rows for exact tracking.

Following the breakdown of the above expenses, it is important to differentiate between repairs and maintenance tasks. Repairs will usually be more expensive and are linked to mistakes or accidental breakdowns. When something breaks, you fix it. 

You can log breakdowns on PlanM8 as unplanned maintenance events , in order to log your steps of action in the software’s history.

Maintenance tasks are recurring tasks that need your attention on a regular basis. They are mainly tied to the up keeping and correct function of your vessel while they are often tied with insurance. These tasks are triggered based on predetermined timeframes or your vessel’s meters.

You can set up maintenance tasks on the Components section of PlanM8. Select the system you want to create a recurring task for, and add descriptions, triggers, and other relevant information.

Finally, it’s important to remember that your vessel will need fewer repairs if you don’t take long trips. Maintenance tasks should be performed regardless of your vessel’s activity, with an exception for tasks that need to be attended based on meter triggers.

Wrapping up

Creating a yacht maintenance schedule reduces your annual costs and helps avoid unplanned breakdowns. In this post we looked at the benefits of using PlanM8, the different types of expenses you’ll come across, and how to track them effectively.

Fuel consumption and range values for motoryachts

With sample measurements on a grand banks 36 my trawler data source: powerboat & motoryacht magazine.

We all know, we all hear, that consumption, range, noise and engine wear are strongly related to the engine revolutions. The data below show that these relations are beyond the imagination of most of us.

All what has been done is that a boat was run with varying engine revolutions and consumption, speed and noise were recorded.

1. Speed of the vessel is the variable least depending on engine revs. When the engine revs are 1000-1 speed is 6.3 knots. When the engine is revved up to 2650-1 , the speed has increased to 15.7 knots. 2. Range, way made good per unit fuel and hourly consumption are highly dependent on the engine revs. As an example, while at 1000-1 revs the hourly fuel consumption is 7.6 liters. At 2650-1 revs this has increased to 84.9 liters. Thus, the hourly consumption has increased more than TEN fold. At the same time, range and way made good per unit fuel has decreased FIVE fold. At this example the “good” revs are 1500 – 1750 revs. Specially the green curves show the “hump” at these revs. Above these revs the range drops more significantly.

In summary, whoever runs his/her engines calmly, reduces engine wear, saves money and has the comfort of a larger range. Whoever “beats” the engines harm the environment and themselves..

The speed has been measured as average of two direction by radar.

Ferretti Yachts

Le chantier naval Ferretti Yachts a toujours su s’entourer des meilleurs artisans, depuis l'ouverture de son chantier en 1968. Nos équipes perpétuent tradition et savoir-faire, tout en réalisant les innovations techniques du yachting du futur. Ferretti Yachts reflète l'excellence de fabrication et le savoir-faire technologique acquis au fil des années, grâce aux intuitions créatrices de ses fondateurs, Alessandro et Norberto Ferretti.

L'équilibre entre ingénierie et design est garant de l'âme artisanale que le produit garde inchangé, dans le respect du caractère italien inscrit dans son ADN. Ferretti est le mélange entre le charme intemporel et le souci du détail. La marque Ferretti est depuis bien longtemps une référence dans le nautisme sur le marché des flybridges, avec des embarcations planantes et à demi-déplacement, qui répondent aux multiples exigences des armateurs du monde entier.. C'est l'essence de l'intelligence nautique à l’italienne.

Un caractère sportif et un confort sans pareil, sans pour autant renoncer à l'élégance : Pershing, créateur de yachts open aux lignes racées, s'inscrit depuis toujours dans la lignée des plus prestigieuses marques du yachting. Sous le giron du Groupe Ferretti, Pershing n'a de cesse d’innover tout en gardant le souci du détail.

La carène Silver, typique de la marque, ou la dernière couleur Brillant White, font la singularité de ces yachts. Performances sportives prodigieuses, agréments intérieurs de très haute facture, aux détails méticuleusement réfléchis: une gamme qui s'étend du Pershing 5X au majestueux Pershing 170, et qui fait de Pershing une référence en la matière.

Mochi Craft

Une ligne reconnaissable parmi toutes les autres, une carène colorée qui fait la célébrité de ses modèles, MOCHI CRAFT réinvente à chaque nouvelle unité le concept de lobster. Elégance et recherche de l'ergonomie animent les concepteurs des unités Mochi Craft : en plus d'être totalement uniques dans le domaine nautique, les lobsters du constructeur transalpin sont toujours à la pointe de la recherche en terme de confort et d'espace : cabines armateurs gigantesques, surfaces agencées au millimètre, tout n'est que luxe à bord d'un Mochi Craft.

Soucieux de l'environnement et passionnés par les nouveaux défis du nautisme, les concepteurs des yachts Mochi Craft rivalisent d'inventivité, comme en témoigne les extraordinaires Long Range 23 & 25, à la coque minutieusement étudiée et à la motorisation hybride, uniquedans le monde ! Déclinant sa gamme du Dolphin 44' au Long Range 25, en passant par les modèles Dolphin 54', 64' Cruiser ou 74' Cruiser, le chantier italien s'impose comme l'icône atypique de référence.

Custom Line

Custom Line a été créée en 1996 pour répondre aux demandes de yachts personnalisables de plus de 30 mètres.

La marque se démarque par des coques flybridges planantes en fibre de verre. Les unités disponibles offrent une habitabilité unique. La gamme est composée à la fois de coques planantes et de coques à semi-déplacement, de 28 à 42 mètres.

Trouvons ensemble votre yacht !

LIBERTAS 15M

‘SAILING AT SEA IS THE ULTIMATE FEELING OF FREEDOM’

Get the ultimate sense of freedom on the most powerful and fastest yacht in our fleet.

Your personal freedom

The honoring of the goddess of liberty began over 2,000 years ago in ancient Rome. To the Romans, liberty meant freedom of action, independence and personal freedom, among other things. Values that are still a vital part of everyday life.

The Sichterman Libertas incorporates all of these elements.


Aluminium Masterpiece

The Libertas’s relatively wide, round-bilge aluminium hull is optimized for a broad speed range. It equals the hard-chine planning hull forms which are most commonly built in this size range in terms of speed, but with a much more economical and comfortable low-speed operation.

Exterior impressions

DESIGNED WITH A PURPOSE

Whether it is the joystick steering option that makes the yacht easy and fun to navigate, the on-board air compressor to inflate toys and equipment, or the private space to freshen up below deck before going on land.

Every detail is designed with a purpose, making the Libertas able to accommodate everything one could wish for. Being able to do so, this all-around functional companion gives its owners the ultimate freedom of choice. The Romans would be proud.

The signature of Cor D. Rover is written clearly on the Libertas, as well as on other Sichterman yachts.

The unique design isn’t only easy on the eyes but serves a purpose as well.
It’s functional, safe and brings a smile to every passenger’s face.

The Libertas’s relatively wide, roundbilge hull is optimized for a broad speed range. It equals the hard-chine planning hull forms which are most commonly built in this size range in terms of speed, but with a much more economical and comfortable
low-speed operation.

With the optimized hull lines by Van Oossanen, the Libertas is able to achieve speeds up to 40 knots with 2 times IPS 950 installed, making it one of the most fuel-efficient boats to sail the international waters.

The simplicity and effectiveness of the design of the Libertas are the result of hundreds of years of sailing yacht history.
