Aristocrats<br />
of the Ocean.<br />
What is it that gives mega sailing yachts their<br />
glamour and appeal? Certainly not simply size,<br />
power and performance. Discerning owners,<br />
imaginative <strong>de</strong>signers and quality-conscious<br />
producers set different priorities. They are the<br />
shapers of a trend. One which emphasizes aesthetics<br />
and precision. Which utilizes principles<br />
such as hydrodynamics and aerodynamics.<br />
And integrates highly advanced control and<br />
communications technology. Mega sailing<br />
yachts are high-tech in concentrated form.<br />
It is precisely that which shapes the future. Around a<br />
hundred new yachts over 40m in length are un<strong>de</strong>r construction.<br />
Each one is a mo<strong>de</strong>l for its own personality.<br />
Built by major shipyards according to bespoke <strong>de</strong>signs by<br />
experts for connoisseurs. None of them will follow a predictable<br />
pattern. And yet, all are part of an important tradition<br />
that is rich in paragons and characterized by<br />
lasting values.<br />
Yachting history is also cultural history. It resolves the<br />
paradox between what is traditional or legendary and<br />
what is futuristic or innovative. And there are many<br />
examples of that – prominent, popular and legendary.
