It has four large outdoor entertaining areas and a tender garage that can be configured to house a vast array of water borne activities. Certainly though, it is the striking appearance of the yacht from any angle which draws in the onlooker and instill in them a sense of power, luxury and excitement brought about by the striking lines and handsome proportions. One thing which truly amazes about this yacht is the vast expanse of outdoor entertaining space it offers. From the hydraulic bathing platform up into the spacious cockpit, forward onto the foredeck lounging area and up onto a fly-bridge which could only be described as gargantuan, this yacht is truly geared to luxury both in and outdoors, as well as bringing the outdoors inside with you by way of the panoramic views offered by the full height windows on the main deck. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/136846/image/large-b2c65d199940179fcc0c75414207850f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/136846">A large portion of the main deck is centered around dining and lounging with an emphasis on the visibility of the surrounding environment through the enormous full height windows which bring a sense of the outside environment into the internal living spaces. The owners accommodation space contains its own lounge, spa, casual dining space and ensuite. Looking aft over your private balcony with spa and outdoor lounging you are presented with a panoramic vista of your surroundings that only serve to increase the feeling of space.

The word of the name refers to an ideal cosy state of clear weather and smooth wind,” explained designer Chong Wu. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269234/image/large-6255436f84a73074fd71b980199033e9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269234"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269237/image/large-8459f433b656a985cd21448a7cc9b4db.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269237"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269250/image/large-264c54fdacb3c8b0463e68c487eab2bd.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269250">Lang-Ching provides her owner with spacious and transparent spaces for entertaining and relaxing onboard. The inspiration behind her design comes from the architecture and landscape of Chinese gardens and the belief of Taoism where humans and animals should live in balance in the universe. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269239/image/large-9b25bf7462ce12844314ee525170fd98.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269239"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269240/image/large-db363695a27f8db2c222a0cd1767854b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269240"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269241/image/large-dfcb6b9fc0e621251f531c2194463250.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269241">The design of Lang-Ching is inspired by the elements which make up a Chinese garden such as a pavilion, teahouse, flowing water, folding screens, potted plants and window grilles. These are combined to create a transparent and exotic space which elevates the oriental and natural lifestyle.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269242/image/large-46fd6b7ca034768cb76c7d9939396aad.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269242"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269243/image/large-bad501c4028f8f01f90f7b4a33226095.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269243"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269246/image/large-b97594d958d9f579642b6e921dba9b48.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269246"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/269252/image/large-f12025fc3aace17694d990a00cfabb59.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/269252">Lang-Ching is able to accommodate up to 12 guests across seven staterooms, with her owner’s suite complete with a stylish office and a bathroom designed in exotic Chinese style.

There is the opportunity to lounge at her pool, or get in a workout at her gym, as well as relaxing in her spacious beach club area. Guests can make use of her large tender and toy garage and there is even the option to land and store a helicopter, with a dedicated hangar.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265336/image/large-1de014551e24c171e36348efb417b848.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265336">“We might be biassed, but we think she turned out rather sexy!” concluded Christian Leyk. “It would be up to her future owner whether or not to add a matching tender, but something featuring polished aluminium and rivets and a repurposed aircraft engine would certainly look great alongside her!”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/265331/image/large-eec01816324c40cffc1c330691f659d6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/265331">

It does, of course, present some interesting challenges, but Rondal has built its reputation on resolving challenges.&nbsp;Rob Doyle: For a 100-metre sloop in terms of length overall, no, it is not possible. For a 100-metre spar height, yes, that is possible. If someone says ’yes’ to a 100-metre LOA yacht they are out of their depth and have not fully researched all the options involved. At RDD we have done a huge amount of research on this question and we are one of the few naval architects and design studios that have an understanding of the complexibility of such a big rig. Class approval would be difficult, but they will lean hard on the naval architect’s calculations, research and experience.&nbsp;Thys Nikkels: When we are pushing boundaries with any aspect of a design the answer is always ‘Do your homework!’ If you do not have experience with a certain size or configuration you have to do the necessary research and development to prove the design is feasible. Feasible in concept, safe in construction and safe in operation, only then can you tell a client that it is possible, and to do that you have to work with a team of researchers, material specialists, builders to find the required solutions for the challenges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/108433/image/large-6f7ee4bb350c7e7604865e0774d55463.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/108433">Are there any suppliers who would take the risk of building such a yacht?Bart van der Meer: We have already built three impressive 70-metre-plus &nbsp;rigs and are currently planning a large rig for an 85-metre sloop, which will become one of the world’s largest.Rob Doyle: There are two really only two manufacturers that can build big rigs. Rigging would be another significant difficulty, along with winches, systems, furling, hull structures, regulations and more.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271932/image/large-fe57b0ec686c9fcbbe3f0f91922d0a1d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271932">Even if you could build it, would it be safe to operate for the crew?Bart van der Meer: Given the exceptional loads, risk factors for the crew are already an important factor in planning sailing systems for today’s largest sailing yachts, especially when racing. These loads and the sheer length and weight of running rigging do increase exponentially when looking at a rig for a 100-metre sloop. But we should keep in mind that, at this end of the superyacht fleet, only the most highly qualified and experienced crew would manage and trim the sail plan. They would do so with access to very sophisticated load sensors and safety triggers to ensure loads and risks remain within the design boundaries. There is also the possibility that these big rigs could be operated fully automatically. Especially as the cost related to fully automating a sailing system becomes smaller in comparison to the overall cost. However, this route could present new challenges of its own until fully proven.Rob Doyle: We will always design rigs with safe operation in mind, the numbers involved are huge and operation of a sail plan of this size would be very difficult, if not impossible. The size of the systems to control such a rig are significant and very detailed research is required, the sparmakers can build very big rigs – the limit is the yacht not the spar tube.&nbsp;Thys Nikkels: In the end, a large sloop will only work for the client if it can be safely and relatively easily operated by the crew. Otherwise the rig will never, or only sporadically, be used.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/236181/image/large-38e23873797382eff5e629953f24cb77.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/236181">Have you had any requests for such a large project and do you expect that one day a client will decide to build one?Rudy Jurg: We have already been introduced to enquiries and concepts of this size that for one reason or another have yet to progress. I have little doubt that 100-metre-plus rigs will be built in the future. The first one will be commissioned by a very ambitious and visionary individual with deep pockets. Once this client’s project is afloat, others are more likely to follow.&nbsp;Rob Doyle: Yes, we have had requests for such yachts a number of times. What we explain first is that the jump from 78-metre M5 to a sloop with a spar length of 100 metres is enormous. If you have not designed and built big rigs before, then a client is very exposed. At RDD we have designed more big rigs, both sloop and ketches, than many other naval architects, but the numbers are staggering when you present the research and the real build numbers. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/272049/image/large-6060ad9c10f61da7535208d03e662ce4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/272049">What are the cost implications of building a 100-metre sloop compared with a schooner of similar size?&nbsp;Bart van der Meer: One of the biggest cost implications is that most of the hardware needs to be designed from scratch for the sloop. Nothing on this scale is readily available on the market: no furlers, no toggles, no winches. And it needs to be designed not just bigger, but exponentially bigger. Take a runner winch, for example. From a 30-metre sloop to a 60-metre sloop, the retrieving length will double and the pull force goes from roughly 10 to 30 tonnes. If you want to be able to retrieve the runners at the same time, you’ll need four times more winch power to double the speed and more than double the force.&nbsp;When you recall it was considered doubtful if you could fly a spinnaker from the mast of a 100-foot sloop 30 years ago, we can see that the evolution of marine design technology has always innovated to address such issues. The expertise is there to make the rig of a 100-metre sloop happen, &nbsp;as long as it is accepted that substantial system development costs as well as the hardware manufacturing costs will bear heavily on the first project. For these reasons, it will certainly cost more than the rig of a 100-metre schooner or ketch.Rob Doyle: Hard questions because if you want to be the tip of the sword, a visionary owner that wants to reach for the stars and build the biggest sloop. But you may need to ask yourself: is the ketch a better option at the 100-metre LOA size?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/236173/image/large-d089b6d8c8cd89662da7e3fc43a4f62c.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/236173">Given all the factors above and from your own experience, what is the ideal size for a super-sloop?Rudy Jurg: It is difficult to say there is an ideal size, though we do know that the ‘ideal’ size keeps on growing as larger yachts prove their reliability and their capacity to deliver exceptional lifestyle experiences and amenities to owners and their guests. Ultimately the ‘ideal’ will always be related to owners’ plans, their financial resources, their vision and ambition.Rob Doyle: I believe an 85-metre LOA sloop would be the limit, but there are different factors at play that have to be understood and it's more about the length/beam ratio than LOA, which would be a more suitable metric to start with. On the limit of tube lengths, you need to ask the spar maker for that number, but we are comfortable with the tube lengths we have spoken to clients and sparmakers about.This article was originally published in September 2022 of Issue 1 of the How to Build It magazine. <a href="https://superyachttimes.com/api/download/how-to-build-it-issue-1" target="_blank">You can download the entire magazine for free here</a>.
