At the same time, developers Black Pearl wanted to demonstrate the potential of the DynaRig armament, to show that it is also suitable for larger vessels.

At the same time, the area of the largest sail is 1767 square meters. The height of the largest is approximately 90 meters, which is a real record for a solid mast, which took several years to develop and manufacture. It is propelled by carbon sails hoisted on solid masts, also made of carbon.
