Sailing Yacht A is Andrey Melnichenko’s new superyacht, built by Nobiskrug and designed by Philippe Starck. In August 2015, we became the first to publish the story of Sailing Yacht A, and since then we’ve covered this sail-assisted motor yacht in great detail. In October 2015, Sailing Yacht A was photographed on sea trials, a month after her massive masts were installed.
She was handed over to the owner's representatives in February 2017 and is currently undergoing her final sea trials in the Mediterranean sea.

Few men who come to the islands leave them; they grow grey where they alighted; the palm shades and the trade-wind fans them till they die, perhaps cherishing to the last the fancy of a visit home, which is rarely made, more rarely enjoyed, and yet more rarely repeated.

No part of the world exerts the same attractive power upon the visitor, and the task before me is to communicate to fireside travellers some sense of its seduction.

The first experience can never be repeated. The first love, the first sunrise, the first South Sea island, are memories apart and touched a virginity of sense.
