S/Y Marie at 180-feet in length, with her lustrous black hull, boom, and masts is a one-of-a-kind custom vessel, combining classic aesthetics, contemporary openness, and the highest level of modern technology. Her 1920’s André Hoek-designed hull and exterior styling is reminiscent of the Golden Age of Yachting, yet she offers all the spacious comforts and amenities of a 21st century yacht. Marie has a steady motion and she sails extremely well. Her bulbed keel, the result of years of tank testing, yields a very fast hull; the carbon fiber, hybrid modulus spars fitted with PBO rigging are state-of-the-art, as are her furling booms, and all her forward-thinking systems. For a competitive edge, Marie sports a set of sails that allow 18+ knots close reaching, and an enormous spinnaker enabling her to really fly in the right wind conditions. In 2011, Marie campaigned in various Caribbean regattas; The Antigua Superyacht Challenge, the St Barths Bucket, and The Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. Last summer she took part in the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta in Sardinia and The Super Yacht Cup in Palma, Mallorca. In 2012, Marie again took part in the Antigua Superyacht Challenge. This month, Marie will participate for the first time in the Caribbean Superyacht Regatta in Virgin Gorda and will make a return visit to the infamous St Barths Bucket at the end of March. Following the Bucket Regatta, Marie will be headed to the South Pacific in April! |
