Wing 100

[robust idol]

The Wing 100 is a highly innovative, conceptual superyacht designed by the renowned German naval architects Dykstra Naval Architects. The yacht uses the DynaRig concept, a system of free-standing rotating masts that eliminates rigging cables. This allows the sails to be quickly and automatically set, reefed, or furled. Two 480m² (5167ft²) carbon composite, free-standing, and fully balanced wing masts enhance sailing performance and aerodynamic efficiency.
Hydrocarbon consumption and high greenhouse gas emissions are an unavoidable aspect of large
motor yachts. Large sailing yachts are much more environmentally friendly and have rightly earned
a “greener” image – especially when they are actually sailing. Conventional sail rigs can take time
and crew effort to set up, manage and take down. Consequently, shorter passages are (too) often
made under power. Although a sailing yacht’s slender hull shape is much more easily driven under
power, this reduces, but still not fully addresses, the environmental impact.
One of WING 100’s most arresting features is surely its rig: two unstayed and rotating
wing masts. It’s based on a proven concept and features numerous
advantages. Firstly, the twin mainsails can be hoisted in a few minutes, making sailing the easy
choice. The staysails, when required, can equally easily be unfurled and trimmed. The rig ensures
fast and efficient performance yet is comfortably managed by remote control. If the wind strength
increases, the sail plan can be rapidly de-powered. This ensures that a modest angle of heel is
effortlessly maintained

With her plumb bow – artfully enhanced by a 60-degree notch at deck level – and maximized
waterline, WING 100 looks cool, sensuous and powerful. The absence of mast shrouds and
spreaders emphasizes the aesthetic of minimalist, purposeful efficiency. The cabin deck and main
deck are crowned by an elegant, sweeping flybridge providing informal relaxation and alfresco
dining. Stairs just forward of the twin helm stations give access to the bridge deck – in fact a halfdeck between main and flybridge decks – offering superlative operational visibility without
impacting on the guest amenity below

With a long waterline and wide beam across the cabin, main and flybridge decks, WING 100 offers
extensive volume for guest accommodation and amenities, both above and below the expansive
decks. The interior is cleverly understated to provide bespoke and calm spaces for the owners and up to
fourteen family / guests. The cabin deck accommodation includes the owner’s suite, a VIP suite
and a further five guest cabins as well as a cabin for a nanny / teacher. Ample, light and airy crew
quarters are provided forward. The main deck features interior dining for sixteen, an inside /
outside bar and lounge, further alfresco dining aft and a range of other amenities. There is
extensive clear deck space aft with stairs leading to a large beach deck/swim platform. The
magnificent flybridge adds stunning views to the attractions of informal, high-level dining and
relaxation. All three decks are connected by a guest elevator as well as by stairs.

WING 100’s efficient and easily set rig allows sailing on even the shortest passages. Overall, the
yacht’s advanced sailing capabilities offer a substantial reduction in energy requirements
compared with an equivalent-sized motor yacht. And that is just the start. The electric propulsion
system ensures high efficiency under power and is easily adaptable to alternative power sources
such as new fuels or hydrogen fuel cells.
Add to that a hydro generator to power the board systems and to charge the batteries; 480m2 /
5167ft2 of solar panels integrated in both masts, the aerodynamic efficiency of the wing masts
and state-of-the art power management, and you have the main ingredients of WING 100’s gamechanging green energy system. A system that is calculated to save a very substantial amount of
fuel compared with similar sized, conventional engine-powered mega yachts. A system that
eliminates the associated greenhouse gases.

• Thanks to her efficient and easy to deploy rig, WING 100 will consume less than 20% of the
energy required by an equivalent-sized conventionally powered motor yacht on passage.
• Under sail, 200kW can be produced by the hydro generator equivalent to over 40,000 liters /
year fuel saving.
• 480m2 / 5167ft2 of solar panels are integrated on the carbon Rondal masts to generate
250kW / day equivalent to a further savings of over 20,000 liters / year.
• The main sails and staysails of the wing mast rig can be set in few minutes making sailing the
easy choice. This results in 750kW average power saving, equivalent to over 166,000 liters
of fuel / year.
• The electrical system provides for flexible and economical electric propulsion when under
power, saving more energy.
• In addition, a large state-of-the-art battery bank ensures that none of the green energy
generated goes to waste. Its power substitutes generator use and provides extended silent
mode at anchor or under sail.
• The system of WING 100 is calculated to save in total over 225,000 liters of fuel per year
compared with similar sized, conventional engine-powered mega yachts.
• The system enables the generators to be converted to other fuels or replaced by a hydrogen
fuel cell
