Dutch shipyard Van Dam Nordia Yachts (Nordia for short) has announced its latest and largest lightweight sailing yacht, the 120-foot Performance Cruiser. Armed with a wealth of knowledge after constructing two 70′ Performance Cruisers, Nordia has designed its 120′ sailyacht to incorporate its values of “high-end build quality, individuality and a maximum amount of comfort, but now with the addition of even more speed and sharper handling characteristics.”
Instead of stripping most of the shipyard’s standard luxury interior features and calling the yacht minimalistic, Nordia Chief Designer Robin Ten Hoope and his team reevaluated every component on the 120′ Performance Cruiser and devised a two-level configuration that keeps the boat light but still conveys a high level of luxury.

Erik Sifrer’s design for the Green Jet 57 m (187 foot) sailyacht offers the perfect solution for the eco-friendly, lazy, and luxury-minded sailboat enthusiast. The concept sailyacht operates similar to a motoryacht, as it’s navigated and controlled by a computerized sail system that is operated by the touch of a control screen. Two fully automated Aero-sails guided by hydraulic motors act as the main propulsion system for the Green Jet, and the hydraulic motors are designed to hoist the sails to full height in 30-40 seconds. The automated sail system means that the crew can focus more on catering to the owner’s requests, versus waisting their time rigging the sails.

XSMG is a company that began with a simple goal: to build the world’s first supercar on the water. The result of XSMG’s efforts is the sleekly-styled and equally powerful XSR48, which accomplishes that company’s goal of combining “the DNA and high performance of a supercar with superyacht styling.”
The 1600+ horsepower powerboat is powered by two diesel engines, which propel the 48-foot XSR48 to a top speed of 98 mph (85 knots). The superboat’s hull is made of kevlar and carbon fiber with cross linked pvc cores bonded using vinylester and epoxy resins.
