S/Y ''A'' is an auxiliary schooner built in Kiel by Nobiskrug for Andrey Melnichenko. Her propulsion consists of a variable-speed hybrid powerplant with two lineshaft controllable-pitch propellers and is sail-assisted by a three-mast fore-and-aft sailing rig. The freestanding carbonfiber rotating masts were manufactured in Southampton by Magma Structures.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Magma Structures )〕 Doyle Sailmakers USA manufactured the three fully-automated carbonfiber/taffeta full roach sails. The furling booms were built in Valencia by Future Fibres. The vessel features a unique underwater observation pod in the keel with 30cm-thick glass. S/Y ''A'' is due for delivery in 2016 and is the largest sailing yacht ever built. *Building site: Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft's deepwater premises in Kiel *Builder: Nobiskrug *Design: Philippe Starck *Naval architecture: Dykstra & Partners *Diesel powerplant: two MTU 20V 4000 ML73 3,600kW lineshaft engines *Electric powerplant: four 1,050–2,050rpm 2,800kW hotel generators driving two 4,300kW lineshaft motors *Propulsion: 5-bladed Andritz Hydro / Escher Wyss controllable-pitch lineshaft twinscrew〔 During the build, the vessel was referred to as project ''White Pearl'' by the shipyard and subcontractors.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nobiskrug interview )〕 ==See also== *List of large sailing yachts *A (motor yacht) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A (sailing yacht)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
