OVERWHELMING RAIN OF PRESTIGIOUS AWARDS FOR SARISSA

…at Boat International’s Design & Innovation Awards in Kitzbühel, Austria:

• Best Exterior Design – Sailing Yachts: Sarissa
• Best Interior Design – Sailing Yachts: Sarissa
• Best Naval Architecture – Sailing Yachts: Sarissa

Aside of the recognition for the design, there is obviously excitement and gratitude on the part of the build team, who turned the design into reality. In addition, the team of Royal Huisman is particularly honored by the following additional awards:

• Eco Award: Sarissa’s board systems
• Innovation of the Year: Sarissa’s forward facing retractable electric propulsion

Sarissa – project 404 – high-performance sloop with retractable propulsion – 59.7m / 196ft – naval architecture: Malcolm McKeon – interior design: Liaigre – owners’ representative: Gregory Monks – hull material: Alustar® aluminium – superstructure: Carbon composite – delivery by Royal Huisman: 2023 – more information about Sarissa can be found at this website > delivered yachts [ link ]

Comments from the report by the judges:

Outstanding Exterior Design – Sailing Yachts: “…the level of development and detail on board Sarissa, which is based on a performance cruising boat profile, won the judges over. They remarked on the ‘stunning coachroof’ perfectly sleek and integrated; the ‘very clean’ design made possible by the hidden captive winches and hardware; the ‘lovely shapes’; and the design and execution level of the exterior furniture in the very livable cockpit, which several judges said they had never seen to date on a sailing yacht. The design perfectly reflects the brief of the experienced owners who wished for a modern-looking yacht with easy water access, comfort, shade, infinite water views, a jacuzzi and a climbing wall, along with performance. From bow to stern, no detail has been overlooked.”

Best Interior Design – Sailing Yachts: “In Greek, sarissa means a long, sharp spear. Its innovation in the third century BCE facilitated Alexander the Great’s empire, thus it is synonymous with technology, speed, strength and excellence. This Sarissa is all those things in a very private family boat destined for long passages and time at anchor. The interior is relaxed, homelike, fresh in chic simplicity and intelligent in the use of space. Vertical portlights drove the interior arrangement and led to the development of custom furniture that would not obscure the views, nor are features such as chainplates, sloping hull sides or the keel trunk hidden. The colour palette is simple with clear light oak, white lacquer and accenting leather. The unpredictability of the layout is a key feature. All cabins are unique, corridors gently curve, stairs are off centreline, the owner’s suite flows to a private beach club and the cinema hosts cosy elevated reading nooks.”

Best Naval Architecture – Sailing Yachts:  “The four finalists for this category prove that sailing yachts continue to get more efficient and performance-oriented each year. After the naval architecture subcommittee crunched the numbers – evaluating the yachts on 35 points – the two top candidates were a hair’s breadth apart, although their mission statements were somewhat different. While Nilaya had the more complex brief and an innovative construction approach, the final result is that Sarissa presents the best all-around sailing ability, range, comfort quotient and stability. Both naval architects availed themselves of high-end CFD and FEA research. However, managing the much larger weights and loads of Sarissa, especially with multiple hull and deck openings, the in-boom furling of the world’s largest flat-top mainsail built in 3Di RAW and the innovation of massive fully retractable forward-facing propulsion drives, won the day.”

Note the clean hydrodynamic hull with retractable electric drive propulsion units retracted.  A video of the folding out process can be found at this website: discover > innovation > 1. sustainabilty [ link ]

Eco Award: “Sarissa presents a multi-faceted approach to cruising with minimal environmental impact, from wind-driven propulsion, hydrogenerators and waste heat recovery to black and grey water treatment and trash management. Most of her power and propulsion needs are met with just one variable-speed genset and a 380kWh battery bank that can deliver four to eight hours of stored energy. Batteries charge via the propellers underway or when freewheeling during sailing. All rigging and spars and the mainsheet are airfoil sections, reducing drag. A Piranha Biological Marine Sanitation Device produces effluent cleaner than MARPOL standards and assures all cleaning and bathroom products are 100 per cent biodegradable and non-toxic. To minimise the waste produced, the galley is equipped with a food digester that uses biological enzymes to break down and digest up to 10 kilograms of food waste daily, a compactor for plastics and cardboard and a glass crusher for bottles and jars.” Lean more? Link

Innovation of the Year: Forward-facing, retractable electric propulsion: “Royal Huisman boldly chose to install the first Hydrosta forward-facing retractable electric azipod propulsion for reasons of redundancy, efficiency and improved performance under sail on board Sarissa. Opening doors allows the propulsion legs to swing down from inside the hull, and the doors re-close to create a smooth underwater profile. These 500kW units rotate through 90 degrees, replacing the need for a stern thruster, which saves weight and noise. Being electric drives and located along with their battery stack forward under machinery and watersports stowage, the system removes noise from the guest areas, plus the yacht can be away from a dock or mooring without starting an engine. The pulling, fixed-pitch propellers linked to permanent magnet motors act like underwater turbines, charging the batteries and providing carbon-free power to the ship’s systems, reducing demand on the Volvo gensets.” Curious?

It is not easy to be objective about the quality of your own work. Organizations such as the International Superyacht Society Awards and their expert, independent juries help to provide an unbiased measure of achievement. Overview of awards for Royal Huisman in recent years : link

Murdoch's superyacht 'Sarissa' arrives

Dutch carbon-fibre performance sloop with cockpit swimming pool.

Lachlan and Sarah Murdoch’s stunning new carbon-fibre superyacht Sarissa has arrived in Sydney in time for summer. Designed by Bill Tripp and built by Dutch yard Vitters, the cutting-edge yacht was two years in the making and is the largest carbon-fibre sloop built to date in the Netherlands.

Vitters Shipyard's website describes  Sarissa as a spectacular 42.6 m carbon globetrotter and performance sloop with a fully modern hull shape, sail plan, and foils. 

Hydraulic sailing and deck systems are said to provide improved reaction speed, load and stiffness to safely facilitate the sailing performance this modern and technical yacht was designed for.

Other custom technical features are an in-house developed hydraulic steering system with rudder feedback, as well as a unique system of back stays and running stays to operate both her cruising and racing sail configurations. The yacht has a lifting keel.

The mainsheet has been placed on an arch spanning the cockpit to keep the deck clear, while the aft cockpit can be transformed into a swimming pool for the kids.

Sarissa's design was guided by close client input and involvement, says Vitters, adding that the yacht will be used to sail all over the world with the family in tow and will take part in the established superyacht regattas.

The layout and deck plan emphasise a clean and modern look, while the family friendly layout below decks boasts a full-beam after stateroom, three guests cabins and three crew cabins.

The stunning interior is by Rhoades Young Design Ltd using a combination of limed oak, dark Italian walnut, Indian rosewood, carbon, dark leather and brushed stainless steel.

Finished in swordfish blue Alexseal paint, with a Ribling 555 tender in the 'garage', the 163 tonne Sarissa has a 56m carbon mast and will be hard to miss moored at Wooloomooloo in Sydney’s CBD.

Meantime, father Rupert reportedly listed his 184ft yacht Rosehearty , built by Perini Navi in Italy in 2006, for sale in September this year for $29.7 million. This followed his divorce from wife Wendi Deng.

Naval Architect Bill Tripp states: “Sarissa is exactly at the point where the state-of-the-art large sailing yacht world lies. She is a modern, technical boat whose design was guided by close client input and involvement. She will be used to sail all over the world with the family in tow, and will take part in the established superyacht regattas. Technology and modern design merge within Sarissa, providing the owner with luxurious comfort, accessible and easy sailing, integrated design, advanced performance, and confidence to sail anywhere in safety.”

“Following our previous carbon high performance sailing yachts, this increase in size is not the only development.” Adds Louis Hamming of Vitters. “Her hydraulic and deck systems provide improved reaction speed, load and stiffness to safely facilitate the sailing performance she was designed for.” Other custom technical features are a Vitters’ developed hydraulic steering system with rudder feedback, as well as a unique system of back stays and running stays to operate both her cruising  and racing sail configurations.

The interior design brief requested for a modern and spacious interior, yet warm and inviting like a family home. Jonathan Rhoades: “Within the length and the yachts fine performance hull lines, our goal was to create the feeling of a much larger interior. We have therefore visually borrowed volume and length from other spaces and integrated double use of certain areas. By staggering the accommodation blocks diagonally, we have stretched the visual length of the interior and effectively making the interior feel 1.5 times bigger. Tripp Design paired the vertical port lights creating a unique window that floods the interior with light. Our design capitalizes on the ample natural light below deck and spectacular views of water and sky.”

Sarissa wins Sailing Yacht of the Year at the World Superyacht Awards 2024

The 59.7-metre Royal Huisman sailing yacht Sarissa has been crowned Sailing Yacht of the Year at the 2024 edition of the World Superyacht Awards .

Like all the winners at the World Superyacht Awards , the prestigious title was chosen by an independent panel of judges and announced at the end of the awards ceremony, along with Motor Yacht of the Year winner, 66-metre Alchemy .

Sarissa was noted for her high-performance capabilities and environmental sensitivity. The 33.5-metre Baltic Yachts Zemi was vying for the title and was similarly commended for her eco credentials and telescopic lifting keel. But ultimately, Sarissa ’s cutting-edge propulsion system and state-of-the-art sails and rig clinched the deal for the judges.

The sloop represents many firsts for her builder and the sailing sector as a whole. She has a square-top mainsail that is the largest square-top sail in the world, the largest 3Di RAW sail to the highest spec ever built by North Sails and it’s the first time this type of carbon sail has been used for in-boom furling.  All of this innovation, along with her clean lines, holistic design, organically flowing interior and creative layout with an abundance of exterior living spaces not usually found on a sailing boat, made Sarissa a worthy winner of Sailing Yacht of the Year.

Nominations for the World Superyacht Awards 2025 are now open. For more information, please contact the events team .
