39m Hoek Truly Classic 128 sailing yacht Linnea Aurora launched

The 100-metre Wing 100 sailing yacht concept was first unveiled by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> a year ago and claims to redefine the performance, handling and energy efficiency of large sailing yachts by harnessing wing mast technology. But does such a rig make sense for a super-sized yacht?Wing masts have been gaining momentum as an efficient and sustainable solution for both the commercial and superyacht sectors in recent years. The rotating airfoil-shaped wing mast makes a smooth transition from mast to sail on the leeward side. This provides cleaner airflow around the mast, thus less drag and more power driving the vessel (the shipyard calculates the yacht will be capable of 24 knots under sail). The wing mast dimensions and structure can also take greater compressive loads without buckling, so can be self-supporting.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/242377/image/large-8dc56b79aba5c3642748042f75baa16d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/242377">Moreover, conventional sailing rigs require time and crew effort to set, manage and take down, meaning that shorter passages are often made under power. The rig system of the Wing 100 is based on a proven concept and the mainsails and staysails of the combination wing mast/soft sail rig can be set in a matter of minutes.“The&nbsp;Wing 100 is designed as a sailing yacht with a very efficient sail plan aimed at minimising crew requirements whilst maximising sailing capability,” says Erik Wassen, senior designer at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/230" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dykstra Naval Architects (Company)">Dykstra Naval Architects</a> in Amsterdam, which worked with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> on the concept (the interior design is by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4404" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Mark Whiteley Design (Company)">Mark Whiteley</a>). “The Wing 100 has the ability to feather the main sails for unfurling, furling or reefing, even when sailing deep courses. The rig ensures a fast and efficient performance, but can be comfortably managed by remote control, and if the wind strength increases, the sails can be rapidly de-powered to ensure a modest angle of heel.”&nbsp;Read:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/royal-huisman-wing-100-sailing-yacht" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">Wing 100: The sustainable and energy efficient 100m sailing yacht concept from Royal Huisman</a>Is the rig unrealistic?&nbsp;Can a wing mast rig be built on such a scale? Not a problem for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a>, which can draw on the expertise of its sister company <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/458" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rondal B.V. (Company)">Rondal</a>, a leader in the manufacture of very large composite masts and integrated sail management systems. In fact, the Wing 100 concept has two 73-metre, free-standing wing masts with airfoil profiles, and each mast is complemented with a single in-boom furling mainsail and furling jib. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/242372/image/large-c04da969675f8baa8368d4f634d66869.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/242372">“The masts are able to rotate 250 degrees, or 125 degrees each side, to allow changes to the sail set without changing course,” says Wassen. “The free-standing wing masts have no standing rigging or associated deck clutter and the masts are rotated relative to the boom by hydraulic rams. By changing the mast rotation angle the shape of the airfoil can be adjusted to maximise or reduce the power generated by the rigs.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/230" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dykstra Naval Architects (Company)">Dykstra Naval Architects&nbsp;</a>was instrumental in the development of the Dynarig and sail-assisted cargo ships, although <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> is at pains to point out that the Wing 100 is a true sailing yacht and not a heavy sail-assisted motoryacht. Like the Dynarig, however, the concept is designed to appeal not only to die-hard sailors, but also motoryacht owners looking to reduce their environmental footprint.“Sustainability is crucially important for all of us and for future generations,” says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> CEO, Jan Timmerman. “Yacht owners and the yachting industry obviously want to contribute by reducing environmental impact and by limiting the use of valuable natural resources.”The Wing 100 will have an electric propulsion system that can be adapted to alternative power sources as new fuels or hydrogen fuel cells become available. A hydro generator powers the onboard systems and charges the battery bank. While under sail up to 200 kilowatts of energy can be harvested in this fashion, which <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> claims is equivalent to a fuel saving of over 40,000 litres during the course of a year. The renewable energy systems further include 480 square metres of solar panels integrated into both her masts, which can generate 250 kilowatts of energy or another 20,000 litres of fuel saved in a year. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/242371/image/large-9cd96171448ad1389d1bd529012a7ece.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/242371">“The addition of the vertical solar panels on the masts allows the Wing 100 to generate more energy without the need for a motor,” says Timmerman. “In total, the Wing 100 is calculated to save over 225,000 litres of fuel per year compared with similar sized, conventional engine-powered superyachts.“Sustainable or improbable?Although alternative energy technologies are evolving all the time, they are not always new. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> built the world’s first truly hybrid sailing yacht in 2009, the ketch-rigged sailing yacht <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/375" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ethereal58.04m (190'5&quot;)Royal Huisman2009">Ethereal</a>, noted for her pioneering hybrid propulsion system and 500kWh of stored energy in a Li-ion battery bank. From that moment on, energy efficiency and hybrid propulsion have been at the forefront of the shipyard’s R&amp;D.&nbsp;Moreover, solar cells have already been integrated into wing masts, although on a smaller scale. The 24-metre polar expedition sailing yacht NanuQ launched in 2019 by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1387" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="K&M Yachtbuilders BV (Company)">KM Yachtbuilders</a> to a design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/230" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Dykstra Naval Architects (Company)">Dykstra Naval Architects</a>, has two free-standing, rotating wings masts by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2804" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Hall Spars (Company)">Hall Spars</a> with a soft sail combination. Each wing mast is covered with 20 solar panels per side for a total of 40 square metres of panels. The main sails are handled by closed-front OceanFurl booms with hydraulic furling motors and can be reefed at virtually any angle of sail.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/242366/image/large-21da919b9614db9c981de7a25db653f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/242366">Like NanuQ, the Wing 100 concept is designed to be built in full aluminium rather than steel to benefit from the lighter weight with no significant loss in structural stiffness. Less weight combined with the hull’s shallow-draft canoe body means less hydrodynamic resistance.&nbsp;“Typically for a 100-metre yacht to go upwind you would want a deep, high-aspect ratio keel, but the draft may be limited to five or six metres for practical reasons,” says Wassen. But because the Wing 100 is so big, a deep keel is not needed for stability, but is required for the side-force production. So a centreboard is one possible option to increase sailing performance”.The raised foredeck allows the structural beam to be full-height and increase the structural stiffness, while the free-standing rig reduces both local and global loads on the structure. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/242369/image/large-d8fe4333939d0dc6a95feb885fd3773d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/242369">“If you have a ketch or a sloop, for example, a rig of this size induces massive rigging loads and mast compression, increasing the longitudinal bending moments on the vessel,” explains Wassen. “But with a free-standing mast you don’t have this issue. The absence of shrouds and spreaders also emphasise her minimalist aesthetic.”“The team at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Royal Huisman (Company)">Royal Huisman</a> is incredibly excited to be at the forefront of this conceptual revolution,” concludes Timmerman. “The emergence of sailing yachts on this scale, with the level of energy efficiency and eco-responsibility offered by the Wing 100, would have been unthinkable just a decade ago.”This article was originally published in Issue 2 of How To Build It, you can&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/magazine/how-to-build-it-issue-2" target="_blank">download the magazine for free here</a>.
