NEW 57 M DYNARIG SAILING CATAMARAN
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.
