The Spirit 100 Superyacht

Spirit Yachts has recently introduce the Spirit 100, and it's one beauty of a sailing superyacht.

The yacht is built in modern lightweight wood/epoxy with laser cut stainless steel-reinforced ring frames, laminar wood construction, the latest underwater foil profiles, and a highly efficient modern rig. Looks like the Spirit 100 is built for speed and style.

Spirit Yachts says that the lines and construction of the hull result in a yacht that is strong yet lightweight, with a big rig, fin & bulb keel and a semi-balanced spade rudder. The hull form is drawn to allow the yacht to move through the water creating minimal wake and a barely discernible quarter wave.
