ASC57: 57m Adventure Sailing Catamaran
Echo Yachts has commenced construction of the ASC57, at their superyacht building facility in the Australian Marine Complex, Western Australia. This groundbreaking project brings together industry leaders from across the globe. In partnership with Dutch sailing yacht designers Dykstra Naval Architects and Australia's aluminium multihull experts One2Three Naval Architects, Echo Yachts will deliver the world's largest sailing catamaran to date.
Drawing inspiration from Echo Yachts' 2023 new build motor yacht M/Y Charley 2, the ASC57 sailing yacht will feature similar luxury accommodation, a vast array of water toys, and helicopter landing capabilities. However, this super yacht introduces a twin-Dynarig sail system by Southern Spars, paired with Dykstra's sleek and refined sailing yacht aesthetics. As a result of the addition of sail power, a regenerative power system will be installed, utilising twin shaft generators and a battery storage system to allow for silent running under sail. With its hydrodynamic efficient aluminium hulls, full sail-powered propulsion, power regeneration and deployment options, the ASC57 offers significant eco-friendly performance advantages and greener modes of operation compared to traditional motor yachts.
An extremely efficient aluminium hull form is complemented by twin Dynarigs providing a total sail area of some 1660 m2 for eco-efficient long range cruising. Weight reduction, simplicity and ease of operation will further characterize this project. Dykstra Naval Architects are providing the yacht's overall exterior styling, layout and naval architecture. Detailed naval architecture and structural design are being performed by Australian firm One2Three Naval Architects.

Dykstra Naval Architects partnered with LongitudeEngineering for the innovative system design and alternate fuels.
Greenpeace International has selected Freire Shipyard from Vigo, Spain for this ambitious project after an exhaustive tender process owing to their ability and commitment to meeting the highest technical, environmental, sustainability, and human rights standards. We expect the new ship to start campaigning for a better world in 2027.
At a time where the maritime industry is under increasing pressure to get its act together in terms of emissions reduction, the new ship will lead the way by showing how a smart combination of green technologies can power high seas shipping. With more than 2000 sqm of sails supporting energy regeneration on board, battery packs and solar panels, the new Greenpeace ship will optimally harness the power of the wind and the sun. It will also be equipped with innovative power systems that will allow us to use green hydrogen and e-methanol to cover the remaining energy demand.

Using the original lines plan while optimizing the design under the original Universal Rule the new commission will be completed in time to celebrate the centenary of 'Falcon' in 2026.
The original Q Class "Falcon" was built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company in 1926, her hull lines were by Burgess, Swasey and Paine.
The new Q Class project named "The Falcon Study" will be built by the UK based yard Spirit Yachts, well known and experienced for building "modern classic yachts". The design brief from the client and owner of the original 1926 Q Class Q7 "Falcon" is "to create a modern masterpiece that could inspire generations of sailors for the next 100 years".
