The 59.90 metre (66.70 metre including bowsprit) Hetairos has set many new benchmarks in superyacht construction. It is the largest sailing yacht to have been built from carbon-fibre composite. The yacht has involved cutting edge technology and a strict weight-saving philosophy.
Hetairos was created at Baltic Yachts in Finland by Dykstra & Partners Naval Architects, Reichel Pugh Yacht Design (Co-Naval architect), Rhoades Young (interior design), Gurit Ltd (composite engineering) and Jens Cornelsen GmbH (Project Management).
Future Fibres supplied a full set of PBO standing rigging with a custom coloured braid finish. A total of 61 cables made up the rigging package including 5 furling cables, an 8m, 270T bobstay and x2 whisker shrouds. The mainmast V1 has a break strength of over 620T and the torsional main mast staysail cable is 48m long with a predicted MWL of 50T.
Pushing the envelope of yacht design and construction, Hetairos will take part in both inshore and offshore regattas whilst also providing safe and comfortable cruising.
