At 142.81 metres long, Sailing Yacht A can accommodate 54 crew. But it’s not just her size that is innovative – her owner Andrey Melnichenko is known for introducing new technologies to his yacht projects and there is truly some innovative work being done during the construction of Sailing Yacht A.
The underwater observation pod on Sailing Yacht A is another innovative design element, which is moulded into the keel and offers views below and on each side of the underwater wildlife.
