Snow Sailing Yacht

Snow Sailing Yacht is an innovative 66-meter superyacht that represents a significant advancement in maritime design, combining classical aesthetics with modern engineering solutions. This extraordinary vessel, designed by Hakan Gürsu, features a revolutionary twin-mast configuration that splits upon the hull, enhancing both performance and stabilization while creating additional interior space. The yacht's sophisticated design incorporates a draft of 4.85 meters with keel up and 7.5-12.1 meters with keel down, complemented by an innovative foldable keel system that enables access to shallow ports by reducing centerboard length from 11.7 to 7.2 meters. The vessel's construction utilizes advanced composite technology, with a hull composed of laminated carbon fiber and epoxy resin layers, finished with UV-resistant coatings for durability and lightweight performance. Powered by dual 532 kW diesel engines and featuring 2,100 square meters of total sail area, the yacht achieves speeds exceeding 14 knots while maintaining exceptional hydrodynamic efficiency through its nearly vertical bow design. The interior layout demonstrates remarkable space optimization, offering multiple decks including a flybridge, upper and lower decks, and a suspended deck for enhanced sail control. The accommodation includes 6 single, 10 double, and two master bedrooms for guests, plus 12-14 crew cabins, making it suitable for large groups. This Gold A' Design Award-winning vessel, recognized in the Yacht and Marine Vessels Design category, showcases innovative features such as embedded tender boats, panoramic views, and a sophisticated white exterior that complements its modern adventure sailing capabilities. The yacht's design emphasizes both luxury and functionality, incorporating bright interiors with glass and sliding windows, while maintaining strong connections to classical yacht heritage through its retrospective lines and modern amenities.
