t a whopping 106.7m, Black Pearl, delivered by Dutch shipyard Oceanco in March 2018, scoops the top spot for largest DynaRig sailing yacht in the world, but she is also one of the most advanced superyachts to ever be built. It took an extensive design team to produce the inspiring designs for 106.7m sailing yacht Black Pearl, not to mention the integral roles played by the engineers, naval architects, builders, project managers, and of course, the owner himself. A tri-deck sailing yacht built from a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure, Black Pearl’s design by Nuvolari Lenard (assisted by Villate Design) derives from a naval platform by Ken Freivokh Design.
