2.4 - The Largest True Sailing and Electric Yacht in the World? (Black Pearl)

The sailing yacht Black Pearl is the largest yacht in the world that can make passage only by the wind. It's amazing! But how does it work? Is it a green boat? Does it really generate hundreds of kilowatts while sailing under the wind? What is the rig type on this boat? How does it handle such massive sails? Does it have solar?

I want to know what that is like heeled over while underway, also what it’s like in rough weather and high waves. Very cool! Definitely one of the most exciting yachts in the world. 💯

Was great to finally hear definitively why PV sails have yet to be implemented on her. Not bragging, but I had guessed it was to do with the interfaces between sail and power management system.
It’s disappointing that the single transatlantic passage made so far was nowhere near as diesel free as predicted.

Wow, beautiful yacht, awesome technologies!

[@bluesaga]

Really not any yacht in its league in terms of technology or environmental aspects

[@Sudip_Sarkar_Charles_Edwards]

Absolutely love this rig, at the same time i wonder how other rigs would be performing here.

[@bluesaga]

Probably several different rigs and sails can be used (like the one on Jeff Bezos new sailing super yacht), but the dynarig is modern, effective, and easy to manage for a boat this size. It's by the far the best option, if you like the look. And it looks good!

With everything automated the crew number must be ridiculously low :- 1
