Sailing looks calm, romantic, and free — until it isn’t. In this video, we explore the real-life disasters and accidents that show just how fast things can go wrong at sea — from the 1979 Fastnet Race tragedy to the Cheeki Rafiki and Sydney to Hobart storm, to modern-day survival stories that remind us why seamanship and safety matter.
Superyacht Sarissa collected major awards at the recent Boat International Design & Innovation Awards 2024. The superyacht, designed by Malcolm Mckeon Yacht Design, was honored with five awards in total, including the Eco Award and Innovation of the Year. The performance cruising superyacht won the judges over, who were impressed by her clean design and sleek exterior. Sarissa, whose name means long, sharp spear in Greek, is 59.7m and was built by Royal Huisman. The yacht is packed with innovation throughout. Above the deck, Sarissa is equipped with #North3Di sails, a Southern Spars rig, and Future Fibres AeroSix rigging. She is the first superyacht to select Aerosix and is the largest yacht sailing with this new rigging technology. Fun fact - Sarissa's in-boom furling North 3Di mainsail is the largest flat-top mainsail in the world. #superyachtdesign #sailinginnovation #superyacht #northsails #royalhuisman #malcolmmckeon #sailing
