When Aquila was sold in 2014 under her previous name as Cakewalk, her experienced new owners already had a clear vision in mind what they wanted their new yacht have turned into. Fast forward a season’s use and 12 months of being under wraps at Pendennis’ refit and new build facility in Falmouth, Aquila was finally set free in the summer of 2016 ready for cruising with her new family. Seemingly unchanged from the outside, this Anglo-American project is, as we found out, perhaps the ultimate embodiment of the expression judging a book by its cover.

As with their 65-metre Italian superyacht, her owners surrounded themselves with a familiar team of designers and advisors for this project. As interior designers of that project, there would be no studio better suited to undertake this redesign project than Redman Whiteley Dixon (RWD). Headed by Tony Dixon, the team also worked together with Susan Young Interiors who is no stranger to the owner’s style, having worked on their residential projects as well as their smaller yacht. As yacht managers, Burgess was involved in overseeing technical management and operations and making sure Aquila is charter-ready for this Caribbean season.

Pendennis was effectively tasked with the largest refit project ever completed in the U.K. – something that, as Joint Managing Director of Pendennis, Mike Carr explains, the shipyard was prepared for. “In order to effectively manage a project of this scale, Pendennis assigned four project managers, each with responsibility for specific aspects of the programme.” The true scale of the project is put in perspective when considering the 1000 people involved with Aquila’s transformation during the height of the project.

Apart from freeing up her deck spaces and making guest areas more useful, Aquila’s exterior has remained largely the same. The sundeck is where RWD applied a new arrangement that made room for a larger bar on the aft deck and a greater lounge area to match. The area was also remodelled to house a DJ booth, drop-down disco lighting and a large cinema screen with complimentary sound equipment. Gone is the colourful mosaic-tiled splash pool on the aft deck and instead, a Jacuzzi can now be found forward of the new wellness centre that separates the two areas.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165420/image/large-e875607575f47885395732b548c54e84.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165420">

Throughout the project, RWD made the most of the ‘excellent platform and technical facilities’ that Tim Heywood’s Cakewalk presented, and built on these to suit the lifestyle of Aquila’s new owners. The beach club is just one such example where a new gym area was created in this beamy part of the ship. A skylight in the deck above adds some natural light to the sheltered lounge area that leads out onto the fixed swim platform.

Other exterior deck spaces have been refined and non-essential elements removed to better facilitate her owners’ love of hosting groups of family and friends onboard.

Anyone familiar with the more traditional American interior that made up Cakewalk will immediately be able to recognise the amount of work that went into the restyling of Dalton Designs’ original layout which today is virtually invisible on Aquila. Pendennis stripped back 750 square metres of guest, social, and technical areas on board to a near in-build state before applying RWD’s newly designed vision. German superyacht installer Metrica worked with Pendennis’ dedicated interior department to fit the custom décor onboard.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165426/image/large-c839ba3424ffcb5c3fed24e54618afdf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165426">

Her owners’ close involvement throughout the project reassured Dixon that they were on the right track by aiming for a traditional and balanced style presented with a contemporary twist. Nothing too overboard and everything in its place, but leaving enough room for guests to express themselves freely while onboard. After all, Aquila is available for charter though Burgess. Guest areas are elegantly finished with dark panelling and contrasting deckhead and carpet materials. Clever lighting solutions throughout softens the mood and rounds off that elegant touch of the interior.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165428/image/large-7ae435fbbefb6fe1914ca0e52ff83440.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165428">

A very clear example of the amount of restructuring work that went into the project is visible on main deck. A previously unused space, the main saloon was made family-friendly by flipping the existing layout on its head. The seating area aft was removed and guests can now enjoy dining a little closer to the outdoors.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165429/image/large-dd242c713bea80793d10900934dde75b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165429">

The real work, however, came with the building of an enclosed private cinema space just forward of the dining area. Situated two decks above the engine room, great attention was paid to eliminate any noise transfer from adjacent social areas and vibrations from the engines so that guests would be able to enjoy their movie experience while underway. Equally important was to minimise any noise leaking from the cinema to the saloon outside. This was achieved by placing the entire room in its own 'floating' box which is effectively suspended on sound and vibration-dampening pads independent of the steel construction below, meaning guests can now enjoy their favourite film on that giant 98-inch screen, undisturbed.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165430/image/large-44ce3bd0e0552743e479502cc466c08c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165430">

Another key stage in the project was the reconfiguration of the master suite. Located forward on the owner’s deck the suite we see on Aquila is completely different and much larger to what it once was. Not only were the bulkheads moved aft, but the bed was also relocated from its centre line position and offset to port, allowing RWD to create an intimate lounge area on the starboard side. The traditional cherry wood was stripped and Dixon made use of fumed eucalyptus and dark stained oak to achieve the desired look.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165431/image/large-4062c73475dbd6ea0939525ebc1229e3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165431">

What has remained, however, is the spectacular panoramic view from the suite, which can now also be enjoyed through a private access point that puts the owners directly onto their own 60 square metre Portuguese-style deck.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165433/image/large-75373dc1755b049cc9e681e65bc89b57.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165433">

The exclusive features continue as one moves aft on this deck to reach the owner’s saloon. Tones of royal blue add colour to this gentlemanlike lounge with its metal inserts abound and rich leather surfaces. Bespoke tobacco-leaf imprints behind the London bar, as it is known, creates an interesting a visual centrepiece.

<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/165435/image/large-eb65ac78954d55cfb7380e1e40191842.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/165435">

Connecting all the decks is a grand spiral staircase that runs from main deck all the way to the sundeck. The design teams worked with a Czech artist to make sure the custom-made 11.2-metre chandelier with its 800 individual hand-blown glass pieces will fit perfectly. The surrounding staircase is decorated with leather touches and finished with a new glistening stainless frame that is connected to the art piece via 500 individual stainless steel fittings for stability. The staircase itself is also mounted on anti-vibration mounts to further eliminate potential damaging shocks.

Taking her Latin name from the eagle of all eagles, Aquila has been tastefully transformed to show her true American colours and is now ready to once again spread her wings across the open seas.

The demand for very large sailing yachts is nothing like that for large motor yachts, but over the last few years there has been increased interest in very large sailing yachts. Some projects have been delivered, some are under construction and others are on the drawing board. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/271922/image/large-b991006523bd905dbed9b749b4cd42e1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/271922">We ask a panel of experts – Bart van der Meer (engineering sailing systems at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/458" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Rondal B.V.

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>.

Ask the Expert: Is a 100-metre sloop feasible or even desirable?

SYT asked a panel of experts about the challenges of designing, building and operating a 100-metre sloop.
