In mythology, Callisto was the favorite nymph of the goddess
Artemis, who was tricked by Zeus into having his child. Upon delivering the
baby, she was changed into a bear and later hunted by her own son, unbeknownst
to him. Zeus took pity on Callisto and placed her in the sky as the
constellation Ursa Major (Great Bear) before she could be killed. Her son was
placed alongside her as Ursa Minor (Little Bear).
However, in yachting circles Callisto is simply
the latest launch from Feadship, a collaboration between De Voogt Naval
Architects and Terence Disdale. Callisto is a heavy-displacement yacht
measuring 215 feet (65.5 meters) that is capable of speeds of up to 16 knots
from twin Caterpillar 3516 engines. Her transatlantic range is 12 knots. Similar
to Feadship’s Cakewalk, this yacht also stores her tenders on
the bow, opening up all aft decks as social spaces.
