Turkey-based Dream Ship Victory had signed a contract to begin new 141-meter sailing superyacht, destined to become the world’s largest.
The construction of the new yacht will take five years, with a launch planned for 2016.
Naval architects Dykstra & Partners and Ken Freivokh Design collaborated with DSV’s Valeriy Stepanenko on the Art Deco-inspired all-wood yacht.
The all-wood design will use up a fair number of trees, but DSV promises excellent green credentials through the use of carefully selected tropical woods, a “totally renewable resource”.
