The Spanish shipyard Factoría
Naval Marín has cut the first metal for Sea Cloud Hussar. At 445 feet, she
will be the largest sailing ship in the world when finished in late 2009. The
classically styled, three-masted (the mainmast is limited to a height of 190
feet to pass under the Bosporus Bridge) ship will hoist up to 13,124 square feet
of sail. Designed by Íñigo Echenique, her current technology, state-of-the-art
instrumentation and high-tensile-steel hull will be unobtrusive, allowing her
passages to re-create the glamour and splendor of the great early twentieth
century wooden sailing ships.
Sea Cloud Hussar, which
will carry 100 crew and up to 138 passengers in 69 cabins and three suites, was
ordered by Hansa Treuhand Holding AG of Germany, to be delivered to its cruise
operator Sea Cloud Cruises. Hussar will join Sea Cloud
and Sea Cloud
II, both renowned for their classical and
elegant styling, as the fleet’s new flagship.
