The story of 106m Black Pearl's long-awaited sail across the Atlantic

It’s taken five years for this groundbreaking yacht to show the world what she’s really made of. So was it worth the wait? Holly Overton gets the inside track from her captain and crew.

Black Pearl was designed to push the boundaries of technology and what was thought to be possible for a 106.7-metre under sail. But even for her captain, Christian Truter, carving through the busy waters of St Barths at 14 knots was a bold move. She was an unexpected guest and her fashionably late arrival to New Year’s celebrations caused quite the stir. “We were heeled over, full sail set, blitzing the anchorage between all the boats,” Truter recalls. This was the first time Black Pearl had ever seen this side of the Atlantic, and she wanted to let the world know she had arrived.

It took six years, a visionary owner, and an army of designers, architects and engineers to build Black Pearl . When she was finally delivered in 2018, she was the largest sailing yacht in the world and by far the most technologically advanced. She was built to cross oceans but, up until last year, had barely strayed from Europe.

“The original plan was to sail around the world,” explains Derek Munro, the owner’s representative. “The owner wanted to show the boat off and show the technology to as many people as possible.” She is essentially a wind-driven power plant with three freestanding masts and 2,900 square metres of sail. Her revolutionary DynaRig was a significant advancement on Maltese Falcon , with 25 per cent more sail area, electric rotating spars that made her more manoeuvrable and a hinged rig that reduces her air draught so she could pass through the Panama Canal. Then there is all the stuff you can’t see: variable-pitch propellers which can produce enough energy to power the hotel load under sail or recharge the batteries, allowing her to cross oceans without burning a litre of fuel; her waste heat recovery system is perhaps the most advanced ever seen on board a private vessel; and her spars, yards and superstructure are even wired for solar.

After the shakedown from the Oceanco shipyard in the Netherlands to Gibraltar, she entered a long warranty period. “There were still some technical elements that needed finishing and [the owner] wasn’t in a hurry. He wanted things to be perfect and he was happy to take the time to do that,” explains Captain Truter. When she finally set sail, Black Pearl logged some serious miles in the Mediterranean, bouncing between Gibraltar and Cyprus, before heading into the North Sea around the tip of Denmark and up into the Baltics.

Any plans for a global tour were put on pause during the Covid-19 pandemic, which kept her bound to Europe. But it was the unexpected death of her owner in 2021 that put Black Pearl in a renewed state of limbo. She sat on the dock in Montenegro for more than a year, occasionally running training sails with the crew, so that when the call eventually came in, they could drop lines and go. That is the beauty of the DynaRig. There are no sheets to run, no stays, no winches, no heavy sails to heave across the deck or covers to remove. You could be off an anchorage with sails set in just seven minutes.

“The boat has been getting prepped to go to the Caribbean for a long time. There was a false start the year before, but this year we knew we were going,” says Truter. She checked into the Adriatic42 shipyard in Montenegro at the beginning of November for her five-year class survey in preparation.

“Winter in the Mediterranean, particularly in the Adriatic, you spend a lot of time watching the weather. It was serendipity that we had a window opening up to dodge low-pressure systems that also aligned with our survey,” says Truter. The last contractors stepped off the boat at 5pm on November 24 and by 8pm the crew was dropping lines and heading to Albania to bunker.

“We sailed across the boot of Italy and up through Messina, and because of the wind – we had 40-plus knots – we hugged the coast of Italy. Once we got up around Capri, we did a beautiful bear away and, with wind on the quarter, sailed towards Bonifacio,” Truter explains. They were chasing the incoming mistral in the Golfe du Lion. “We threw a dart onto the chart at which point we expected the wind to come in on the mistral. And pretty much on that point, we ended up with 40 to 50 knots of wind. We bore away, shortened sail and sailed at 15 knots towards Menorca.”

A brief stop in Palma saw the conclusion of a few inspection items left over from the survey in Montenegro and some time spent poring over weather charts. “It had been a weird year in the Atlantic with a lot of unsettled low- pressure systems quite far south disrupting the Azores high and not really providing great crossing weather. As we were sitting there it looked like a pattern was forming to give us reinforced trades from just south of the Canaries if we hustled,” says Truter.

The crew made haste for Tenerife, where they picked up a couple of stowaways, Munro and the former captain, Chris Gartner, and were soon heading south to catch the weather system that was opening up. “We motor-sailed for a day towards 22 [degrees] north, and as soon as we got into the wind, around 23 [degrees] north, we turned off the engines and set full sail. We sailed the whole way to St Barths from there.”

Reinforced trade winds effectively slingshot them across the Atlantic. The wind was in the high thirties and she was cantering along at up to 19 knots. “We would have gone faster but we were spinning props to create electricity so we could turn our generators off,” says Truter. It is a careful balancing act. Running the regeneration system robs her of a couple of knots but feeds energy back into the vessel. At the same time, they needed pace to stay ahead of the weather system that was nipping at the transom.

Most of the helming is done from the two large wheels on the flybridge with the wheelhouse used only on occasion. And if there is bad weather? “You put your foulies on and get a cup of coffee,” says chief officer Matthew Hopkins.

Black Pearl left Montenegro with 22 crew and collected a few more en route. The 12-day transatlantic overlapped with the festive period and the crew spent Christmas and New Year’s Eve at sea. For almost half of those on board, it was their first Atlantic crossing. “There may have been a ritual,” laughs Truter. “King Neptune [aka Gartner] definitely made himself present.”

On Christmas Eve, Black Pearl caught up to a solo rower competing in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge. The crew gathered on the flybridge to sing him We Wish You a Merry Christmas. And the morning after, they had a visit from Santa Claus, aka Munro.

Black Pearl was underway for 20.5 days from Montenegro to St Barths. She sailed more than 80 per cent of the way, averaging 11 knots, and consumed 32,000 litres of fuel over 5,600 nautical miles. (A conventional 100-metre motor yacht would burn around 10,000 litres a day.)

The arrival of Black Pearl into St Barths on January 2 was a poignant moment, particularly for Chris Gartner. Steering from the flybridge with sights on the anchorage, Truter handed the helm to Gartner, who had been Black Pearl’s captain and custodian from the build until last year when he left to join a new project. The journey marked the end of a chapter in his career and the start of a new one for Black Pearl .

With a renewed sense of adventure, Black Pearl is set to welcome others to experience her power and prowess for the first time as she joins the charter fleet. She will offer charterers a unique “Eco Mode” option where the boat will waive any fuel costs to those who agree to mostly sail and, when engine power is necessary, only use the electric motors at a maximum speed of 11 knots.

At the time of writing , Black Pearl is back in the Med but plans to return to the Caribbean. Having completed her first – and now second – Atlantic crossings, the crew are resolute in their commitment to the mission started by her late owner: to cross oceans and leave the smallest possible footprint. “As with any yacht you want to see them out on the ocean chewing up the miles and going to different places,” says Munro. “This was our first big voyage and hopefully the start of many, many more.”

Black Pearl is offered for charter with Superyacht Connections, superyachtconnections.co.uk

Adriatic42, a mega yacht yard in Bijela, Montenegro, is officially operational

• November 2, 2022

Joint Venture partners – PM Holdings LLC, an Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) company, and Drydocks World Dubai, a DP World company, recently launched Adriatic42

• First mega yachts being refitted in Bijela, Montenegro

Dubai, UAE, 2 November 2022: Adriatic42 — a joint venture company between PM Holdings LLC, an Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD) company, and Drydocks World Dubai, a DP World company, was recently officially launched.

The announcement marks the beginning of significantly enhanced operations at the facility in Bijela, Herceg Novi, Montenegro. The world’s largest sailing yacht, Black Pearl, became the first boat to dock in Adriatic42’s superyacht yard earlier this month for its ongoing refit.

The Government of Montenegro granted a 30-year concession for the former Bijela shipyard which is located in the one of the safest natural harbours in the world, under Adriatic42, the shipyard is undergoing a comprehensive redesign, transforming it into a premium superyacht refit and maintenance facility.

The launch was attended by His Excellency President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović, His Excellency Mohammed Al Shaibani, Managing Director of ICD, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, Captain Rado Antolović, CEO of Drydocks World and Chairman of Adriatic42, David Margason, Managing Director of Adriatic Marinas – Porto Montenegro, Stevan Katić, Mayor of Herceg Novi Municipality, Željko Komnenović, Mayor of Tivat Municipality, and numerous other dignitaries.

Adriatic42 already employs approximately 100 staff, who bring a long tradition of maritime expertise to the yard. The former Bijela shipyard, nearly 100 years old, was the largest ship repair yard in the Southern Adriatic. The new joint venture will extend this maritime heritage. Its location in one of the most sought-after seas in the world, makes it a haven for the global luxury yachting community.

His Excellency President of Montenegro, Milo Đukanović, said: “From this day onwards, the launch of Adriatic42 puts Montenegro at the centre of the world’s nautical tourism industry. Adriatic42’s comprehensive facility and service offerings from quality repairs and fabrication, as well as moorings, will allow yacht owners to enjoy Montenegro’s world-class marinas all year round.

“We now have an international standard marina and refurbishment facility in the country, which further positions our nation as a prime tourism destination in Europe and the Mediterranean. Furthermore, Adriatic42 will be a beacon for economic opportunity in the country culminating in hundreds of jobs thanks to the shipyard, as well as a conduit for specialised small and medium sized businesses who can support the yachting industry.

“Adriatic42 represents a massive opportunity for our country, now and in the future.”

Managing Director of ICD, His Excellency Mohammed Al Shaibani, said: “The Investment Corporation of Dubai is delighted that the joint venture between its operating business in Montenegro, PM Holdings LLC, and our expert marine engineering partner, Drydocks World Dubai, is being realized through the opening of Adriatic42’s specialist superyacht shipyard. Together we’ve shared a long-held ambition to re-activate Montenegro’s former Bijela shipyard in Kotor Bay, and Adriatic42’s new refit and repair facility, with the extraordinary superyacht marina village of Porto Montenegro as its backdrop, will create a unique and unrivalled year-round yachting hub in the Mediterranean. This is just the beginning for Adriatic42’s superyacht services, and we look forward to the employment opportunities and prosperity which they will bring to Montenegro.”

Chairman of Adriatic42, Captain Rado Antolović, said: “The opening of this unique facility for the refit and maintenance of mega yachts, marks the beginning of a new era of sustainable and modern shipbuilding globally. It is also a great boon for the maritime and yachting sectors in Montenegro, with more than €40 million invested in the project to date, including for the acquisition of the state-of-the-art infrastructure and investments in sustainable technologies.”

Captain Antolovic also outlined the importance of environmental protection. Preserving the natural environment is a key priority for the new facility which is located in the unique Boka Kotorska. Adriatic42’s sustainable approach, which includes the highest environmental and safety standards to prevent environmental pollution, is supported by new and modern equipment that allows the facility to maintain an energy-efficient way of doing business and the intelligent use of alternative energy sources.

The Complete Guide to Marinas in Montenegro

Montenegro has long been overlooked by sailors and holidaymakers as a premier sailing destination. But things are changing and Montenegro is slowly transforming itself into one of the premier sailing destinations in the Med. One of the ways that they are doing this is through the addition of many great marinas in Montenegro.

For Montenegro’s small size, there are lots and lots of marinas or pontoons to moor up to for a night of two. And with unpredictable and strong winds blowing off the steep mountains that line Montenegro’s coastline, you are going to want to know where these marinas are in case you need to make a beeline there.

Marinas in Montenegro

This list covers the major Montenegro marinas from north to south.

Marina Lazure

The first marina in Montenegro on the list is Marina Lazure located at the entrance to the Bay of Kotor. This moderately sized marina is perfect after a weary day of sailing and has all of the amenities you could want.

Unlimited electricity and water, as well as access to clean toilets and showers, are just a few of the reasons to stop in at Marina Lazure. Included in your mooring fee, you also have access to an umbrella and day beds for your entire crew at the Lazure Beach Bar!

It is also a great place to stay when visiting the nearby town of Herceg Novi which is only a 2-kilometer stroll along the coastline.

One of the downsides of Marina Lazure is that no fuel is available here. (The closest fuel is available at the Herceg Novi town quay or Portonovi.)

There are also no laundry facilities, but the team at Marina Lazure has partnered with a company to provide this service. If you would like to know more details regarding laundry, you can reach them directly at  [email protected] .

• VHF Channel: 87

Another new marina in Montenegro is Portonovi located just across the Bay of Kotor from Porto Montenegro. Portonovi is part of the D-Marin Group which you may be familiar with if you have spent any time in Croatia or Greece.

With a capacity to serve 283 yachts including super yachts, Portonovi is another marina in Montenegro with an eye on high-end offerings and luxury. Heck, there is even a helicopter pad at the marina!

Portonovi prides itself on being a modern, clean, and friendly marina, and we could not agree more! One of the downsides to Portonovi, like many of the luxury marinas in Montenegro, is that water and electricity are not included in the mooring fee but are charged extra.

It is possible to check in and out of Montenegro at the Portonovi Marina as there is an immigration office located at the marina! Even if you do not stay for the evening, you can check in and out here but will be required to pay a docking assistance fee of €1 per meter of boat length to the marina for their services.

• VHF Channel: 74

Porto Montenegro Marina

The cream of the crop of marinas in Montenegro is the opulent Porto Montenegro. This mega yacht marina is all about luxury and grandeur.

Once an important naval base in Montenegro, the location of the Porto Montenegro Marina was developed by Hungarian-Canadian billionaire Peter Munk in 2006 and has since become a destination in its own right in Montenegro.

The Porto Montenegro Marina is home to some of the most impressive vessels in the Med, and even if you aren’t staying here just a stroll along the promenade is worth it.

Porto Montenegro Marina can handle boats of all sizes including superyachts up to 250m! You may even get to see the majestic Black Pearl located here which is a sight to behold.

As expected, the facilities are wonderful with individual shower and toilet combos, on-site laundry, and free wifi. Unfortunately, electricity and water are excluded from the mooring fee and must be paid for separately at the marina office.

It is also possible to check in and out of Montenegro at the Porto Montenegro Marina.

• Website: https://www.portomontenegro.com/marina/
• VHF Channel: 71

A simple pontoon located just north of Porto Montenegro, Porto In is an option if you are looking to visit Porto Montenegro but want to save a couple of pennies while you do it. The mooring fee includes electricity and water but there are no toilets or showers available.

A €12 week pass to the PMYC gym near the pontoon will give you access to a small clean gym with nice showers between 6 am and 5 pm.

• VHF Channel: 9

Marina Glavati Prcanj

This small family-run marina is perfect for those who want to explore the Kotor side of the Bay of Kotor. Situated approximately 4 kilometers from Kotor, Marina Glavati Prcanj offers approximately 20 mooring spots.

The facilities here are basic but include water and electricity. There is no toilet or shower available for use, but the marina staff are extremely helpful and friendly!

• VHF Channel: None, contact at +382 68 278 141

More pontoon than marina, Luka Kotor is a great option to tie up if you want to explore the medieval city of Kotor. You can also anchor in the bay just outside, but strong winds and poor holding are a few of the complaints that get tossed around in the community apps.

At Luka Kotor, the mooring fee includes electricity, water, and peace of mind while you go out to explore this fascinating town!

We booked on Navily and were confirmed, however, when we arrived there was no indication that they knew we had a reservation.

• VHF Channel: 17

Please note that there are a few other smaller marinas such as the airport marina, Jamb marina, Movida Beach Marina, and Port Herceg Novi within the Bay of Kotor that we did not visit. See Navily for more details.

Lustica Bay Marina 

Another relative newcomer on the scene is Lustica Bay Marina. Lustica Bay is positioning itself much like most of Montenegro as a luxury destination and the marina is no exception.

This marina has the feel of a boutique marina without the hefty price tag. The staff here are extremely friendly and welcoming and go out of their way to make sure your stay at Lustica Bay Marina is enjoyable.

Water, electricity, and showers are all included in the price of mooring.

One downside of Lustica Bay Marina is that there is no laundry facility here. You can have laundry done at the nearby Chedi Hotel but be prepared to spend your weekly budget on a few clean shirts.

• Website: https://lusticabay.com/lustica-bay-marina/
• VHF Channel: 68

Dukley Marina

Dukley Marina is the only marina located in Budva. While it is located right next to the stunning medieval town, the marina itself has a couple of shortcomings. The guest pontoon is open to the constant swell and wake of boats and is very the marina office and amenities. The staff here are famously unhelpful, going as far as telling us our radio was broken to avoid catching a line. The facilities are broken and dirty and you risk being screamed at by the staff if you use them.

If you need a place to fill up water or to leave the boat while you explore the pretty Budva Old Town (or journey inland), then it is an okay stop, but it is not our favorite marina on the list. Water and electricity are included in the mooring fee.

• VHF Channel: 8

Marina Bar is the last port of call before making your way further south to Albania and beyond, or the first one you’ll arrive in if traveling north. There is a port authority and immigration office here for checking in and out of Montenegro. For this reason, it is a popular marina in Montenegro. The marina itself is basic but has all of the necessary amenities such as water, electricity, toilets, and showers. All of these are included in the mooring fee.

Anchorages in Montenegro

We aren’t going to begin to put all of the anchorages in Montenegro that are available, but we will highlight a few of our favorites to get you started. For more anchorages check out Navily or NoForeignLand.

Stevi Marko

Perhaps not the best anchorage in Montenegro, but a safe place for protection from strong northeasterly winds while sailing the Bay of Kotor. It isn’t uncommon to see a handful of boats here, but there is enough space to spread out.

Morinjski Zaliv

Nestled in the far left corner of Risan Bay in the Bay of Kotor, is a picturesque anchorage near the village of Morinj. Exposed to the northeast winds, you would only want to anchor here when wind was expected from the NW, W, or S, but we have read that the anchorage is even good with lots of chain out in a northeasterly wind. There are also a few public buoys here that you can tie up to if needed.

This anchorage is perhaps our favorite of all of the anchorages in Montenegro.

Perhaps not the best anchorage in Montenegro, but worth a stop to visit the stunning Kotor.

This anchorage is not well protected from northerly winds.

Dobraluka Bay

One of the few truly wild anchorages in Montenegro, Dobraluka Bay is a great place to stop to get away from the Montenegrian coastal developments.

This anchorage is open only to the south.

Lustica Bay

There are plenty of anchorages to choose from in Lustica Bay, all of which are pretty great. The western side of the bay is large and has plenty of space for multiple boats. There is also a beach club, Almara, for those looking for a bit of fun.

In the north, the small Horizonti Plaza is another great little anchorage.

Lastly, Bigova in the east offers great protection. There is also a buoy here connected to the Grispolis restaurant where you can tie up for free in exchange for a feed at their restaurant.

the one downside of Lustica is the ongoing development which is a little bit of an eyesore in the bay.

Uvala Trsteno

Just before you reach Budva, there is a beautiful, well-protected anchorage. It is popular in the day with daytrippers and there is a beach bar, but things settle around dinner time with everyone headed back to their accommodation leaving you with a beautiful setting.

This anchorage is open to the south.

Sveti Stefan

An absolutely beautiful anchorage is on the outskirts of Sveti Stefan. This ancient village, now a luxury resort, built on a small isthmus is one of the most picturesque places to visit in Montenegro, and anchoring in its shadows is definitely worth it.

There is a little noise from nearby beachgoers and the occasional jet ski, but as the sun starts to set behind the village, these noises will slowly fade away.

You can anchor on both sides of the isthmus. The South Bay anchorage is open to the west, southwest, and south. The North Bay anchorage is open to all northerly and westerly winds.

Maljveik Bay

Another one of our favorite anchorages in Montenegro is the stunning Maljveik Bay, the best anchorage to stay in the south of Sveti Stefan. You may be visited during the day by a few tourist boats and there is a small beach bar, but once the sun goes down things get pretty quiet. Except for perhaps the katabatic winds that come down off the soaring mountains.

The wind is unpredictable and we spent one night when the winds were blowing between 30 – 40 knots all evening. Luckily, there is plenty of space in Maljveik Bay to spread out and we found the holding to be good.

There are, however, a lot of rocks so be careful where anchoring.

If you do anchor here, the hike to the fortress is an absolute must! If modesty is important to you be careful where you tie up the dinghy as the northern end of the beach is the nudist section.

This anchorage is protected from all northerly winds and east winds.

Black Pearl and her dock did receive some damage, as you can see in the photos above, but that’s nothing compared to the carnage left behind in the wake of M/Y Go .

Go is a 252.5-ft motor yacht. She has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure with a (nearly) 43-ft beam and a gross tonnage of 1950 tons. Imagine this bearing down onto a simple dock structure while you’re sitting nearby enjoying a quiet coffee. Take a look at the following YouTube videos.

The video below captured Go ‘s first encounter with the docks.

Happened to my docks I had built at VENTURA HARBOR BOATYARD in 2015 AND my 1964 Columbia 40 SOLERA…..The Morse Cable pin had sheared off for the Trans and they put it in reverse and floored it and it was in forward. 2 million and 20 K to my boat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUMbXhaBNFM

My Go’s fenders were too high.

i love how the crew shirts are color matched and they are running around with such an outsized thing that would do nothing. it was a computer error, apparently. My GO indeed.

Curbside pickup for Go?

Biggest darned Bayliner MY I’ve ever seen…

Second largest sailing yacht in the world 107m BLACK PEARL joins the charter fleet

• Share this on Facebook

By Nina Done   13 January 2023

It has just been announced that the iconic 107m (350ft) sailing yacht BLACK PEARL is ready to welcome her first charter guests on board from the A-lister-approved superyacht hub of St Barts . Now you too can be among the first to experience the ground-breaking yacht for yourselves on a Caribbean yacht charter  this winter.

Delivered in 2018 by the renowned Dutch yard Oceanco , the award-winning tri-deck  sailing yacht has been hailed as an innovative triumph, with its iconic DynaRig sailing system, high-tech design and wave-piercing bow, and has been turning heads ever since.

BLACK PEARL is one of the largest and most ecological sailing yachts in the world, capable of crossing the entire Atlantic burning just 20 liters of fuel thanks in part to her DynaRig sailing system and an innovative propulsion system that harvests kinetic energy under sail.

Her striking exteriors are from the boards of the illustrious Nuvolari Lenard and Ken Freivokh, while her naval architecture comes courtesy of Dyksra Architects, who previously worked on the renowned sailing yacht MALTESE FALCON , from which she drew her inspiration.

Her interiors, penned by Valentina Zannier and architect Gerard Villate, have long been kept under wraps, but now they have been revealed to showcase a luxurious palette with design cues from the neoclassic Louis XIV period, characterized by elegance and refinement, with touches of gilded opulence throughout. So, as sleek and slightly menacing as she may seem from the outside, she is the very essence of sumptuous luxury on the inside.

Sailing yacht BLACK PEARL provides accommodation for up to 12 charter guests across 5 beautifully-appointed suites.

On board highlights include vast alfresco deck spaces replete with an array of sun loungers, a Jacuzzi and bar for the perfect daytime hangout while on charter, as well as a 4,000-bottle wine cellar and tasting room, and a beach club featuring ceiling lights mimicking the night sky constellations for an added ethereal touch. She also boasts a wealth of convivial social and dining areas for her guests to enjoy while on board. 

If you’d like to learn more about chartering sailing yacht BLACK PEARL, please contact a recommended yacht charter broker . If you're interested in renting a yacht of a similar calibre, browse the complete fleet of Oceanco yachts available to charter .

Black Pearl: paving the way to a sustainable future

Captain of 107m black pearl, chris gartner, reveals the yacht’s impact on the superyacht market since its delivery….

Delivered in 2018, the 107m  Oceanco Black Pearl has been lauded as a trailblazing vessel, featuring forward-thinking technological systems with a focus on sustainability. In a conversation with SuperyachtNews.com , Captain Chris Gartner discusses this unique project’s impact on the market, which he prefers to refer to as an ‘auxiliary-powered sailing ship’ because of the stigma attached to sailing yachts in the superyacht industry.

While it may be true that such a stigma exists – deriving perhaps from a lack of interesting sailing yacht projects and a slowdown in new build orders – it would be difficult to reconcile Black Pearl with the same sector. In addition to the vessel’s sheer size, its array of innovative features and systems, which are already proving to be invaluable to on-board operations, set it apart from any other vessel on the water today. As well as power regeneration, cutting-edge power management, efficient hull insulation and waste-heat recovery, Black Pearl ’s most notable feature is perhaps its three 70m DynaRig carbon masts.

Inspired by the Maltese Falcon , Black Pearl ’s DynaRig concept was created in consultation with the Falcon ’s original design team, but as an evolution rather than a replica. “We are version 10-plus of the DynaRig,” explains Captain Gartner. “ Black Pearl ’s rig is on another level due to the fact that it has been built with modifications that allow the mast to turn more efficiently, quickly and quietly, and because the systems have been sped up, the boat is much more manoeuvrable. We are also able to hinge down the top three metres of each rig to reduce our air draft, which allows to go under obstacles such as bridges.”

The yacht’s hybrid propulsion system and regeneration mode when under sail allows a significant reduction to its overall carbon footprint. “One of the coolest things about the boat is we can drag the controlled-pitch propellers through the water while sailing, which in turn generates power that goes into our battery storage system on board,” adds Captain Gartner. “We can then cover the house loads through wind power, thus allowing us to shut down all of our diesel-powered generators and engines and run fossil free.”

“One of the coolest things about the boat is we can drag the controlled-pitch propellers through the water while sailing, which in turn generates power that goes into our battery storage system on board...”

Because of the fuel savings that the regeneration system provides, as well as the DyanRig’s ease of use, the Black Pearl has done a lot of sailing since delivery – Captain Gartner estimates around 80 per cent of the time. In fact, on their last trip from Gibraltar to Amsterdam, the yacht sailed 100 per cent of the way from Cadiz to Amsterdam and we were able to regenerate when the conditions allowed.

Most of the technology on board Black Pearl stems from the owner’s commitment to green technology and moving the yachting industry forward. While no new technologies were developed, existing technologies have been taken from different industries and adapted to yachting, and this of course comes with certain challenges. “Anytime you have a brand-new system, you also have trial and error,” says Captain Gartner. “So, we have been working on the systems to try and perfect them and it just gets better and better. Between the DynaRig, propulsion and energy storage systems, it’s really mind blowing and everything is working so well that I know it is going to be the way forward for the industry.” 

Since Black Pearl ’s delivery, Captain Gartner has perceived the market’s reaction to be one of mostly curiosity and captivation. “She really has delivered a statement to the world,” he reflects. “Due to her size, hull shape, rig, efficiency, power regeneration and all the other features that reduce our carbon footprint, the whole industry has been taken aback.” 

While Captain Gartner hopes that Black Pearl will inspire other owners to embrace sustainability and focus on the importance of efficiency in the future, he believes that the yacht’s influence is already evident in the industry. “People are seeing an example of a very large yacht being used in a very efficient way and that wind power can be a good and additional solution to reducing carbon footprint, along with all the other systems we have developed,” he concludes. “It is possible to make these boats efficient and we are leading the way in showing the industry how to do this. I am very excited to see other boats following suit.”

Meeting the three-masted yacht Black Pearl under the flag of the Cayman Islands, while sailing our seas, is an event that skippers will definitely remember. The yacht owned by Russian billionaire Oleg Burlakov recently sailed into the marina Port Montenegro.

“Black Pearl” is a sailing yacht launched in 2016, which is 106.7 meters in length. It has three DynaRig masts supporting a sail area of 2,900 square meters.

70 meters high masts carry 18 sails with a total area of ​​2900 square meters, thanks to which the Black Pearl with a favourable wind reaches a maximum speed of 30 knots.
