Sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3480" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sila Sibiri32.4m (106'4&quot;)">Sila Sibiri</a> (ex Kestrel) is currently washed up on shore in Palma de Mallorca following a storm surge that hit the island last night. The 32-metre Turkish-built ketch has been stranded beside the capital city’s famous Paseo Marítimo since the hourly hours of the morning. Two crew members were apparently on board, both of whom have escaped the vessel safely. <img src="/uploads/store/photo/52019/image/large-c277a0b4bbb52efeb64ba72c5909cfc2.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/52019"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/52020/image/large-0791f56a24cf45ec3aeff93db55e5d99.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/52020">Details surrounding the incident remain unclear but it is believed that following manoeuvring difficulties in the challenging conditions, the yacht drifted ashore as she was sitting at anchor. An attempt to tow the vessel off the rocks earlier today was aborted due to the severe swell and at the time of publishing the yacht remains precariously perched in her current position.<iframe width="710" height="390" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LG_hTqUBpkc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/3480" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sila Sibiri32.4m (106'4&quot;)">Sila Sibiri&nbsp;</a>was built in 2012 by Kestrel Superyachts at the Aganlar Boatyard in Turkey to a design by Ron Holland.

The SuperYacht Times team can exclusively reveal that Esenyacht's 47.2-metre sailing yacht&nbsp;Troy&nbsp;is currently on the move in Bodrum, Turkey.&nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/40439/image/large-65c169ccb9ac82f20fa2a9ab0287932a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40439"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/40438/image/large-562e3eee5d9feba62253772ff3647471.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40438">The steel hull from the Turkish shipyard has been transported to a larger shed on Aganlar Marina for completion. She has been moved to a heat and moisture controlled hangar in order to finish her paintwork in a clean environment.Designed by Tim Saunders, her naval architecture was developed by Dykstra Naval Architects. Once complete, she will be able to accommodate up to 12 guests and 10 crew members. &nbsp;<img src="/uploads/store/photo/40437/image/large-f1c741286d6232125ca52ab29745b39e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40437"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/40436/image/large-47fb54e3fa1a9a301b358587a1fbfb2a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40436">SYT previously visited the shipyard in 2016, shortly after the team at Esenyacht revealed they had decided to reschedule the launch of the 47.2-metre sailing yacht to improve the overall quality of the build. However, shortly afterwards the build of the superyacht was put on hold. Construction is believed to have been restarted again in 2018 and we next year we expect to see her sailing.<img src="/uploads/store/photo/40435/image/large-450f73094e17e643043dabd2422e58a6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40435"><img src="/uploads/store/photo/40466/image/large-4028b0fb2c7086a4d772f0f931608f9f.JPG" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/40466">

Exclusive: Esenyacht 47m Troy on the move

Adrian McCourt will introduce an entirely new breed of sailing superyacht to the public for the first time at AYS. Designed by the renowned Ron Holland, Kestrel is a superb fusion of the best aspects of motor yacht, sailing yacht and beach house, designed specifically to put the fun back into family sailing, and to open ownership of large sailing yachts to a wider audience.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/138443/image/large-a4451a1a1b9eda233af898538693f855.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137589">The entire focus of the yacht is to make it a delightful and secure place to spend quality family leisure time for both sailors and non-sailors alike. There are 4 generous sleeping cabins where normally there is only space for 3, and a variety of large entertainment spaces above and below deck which easily adapt to your every need. The sliding cockpit seats allow intimate dining when brought together, can be slid apart to form a conventional cockpit or slid completely outboard to form a cocktail party space/dance floor. Sailing systems are placed where they do not interfere with social activity.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/138444/image/large-9f775476fe074d9b3e3e1310f675a441.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137591">The 32.4-metre dark blue Kestrel offers accommodation and entertainment spaces normally only found on much larger sailing yachts, combined with high stability but with no downside on her excellent sailing performance. The hull volume is some 30% greater than other yachts of this size bracket designed by Ron Holland. As yacht efficiently powered predominantly by sail her green credentials are significantly better than those of a motor yacht of similar volume.Kestrel is ketch rigged for ease of handling and has crew accommodation for 4. She is the first of a semi-custom series where mast configuration, keel depth, layout and even length can be altered within the overall concept. Uniquely she is probably also the only entirely new 100-foot sailing yacht completed and ready for immediate sale in the world today.
