S/Y Y721 127m Sail Yacht by Oceanco
Jeff Bezos’s 400million euros superyacht has been seen for the first time as building work continues on the vessel that will be the world’s largest sailing boat.
The 417ft (127 metre) yacht known as Y721 was rolled out in the Zwijndrecht shipyard in the west of the Netherlands earlier this week.
It will be the biggest sailing yacht in the world when it is complete in 2022, overtaking the current largest ocean-going passenger ship Sea Cloud.
The Amazon founder’s secretive yacht will feature three ‘enormous’ masts and three decks.

The Black Pearl is the largest DynaRig sailing yacht in the world, with three 70 metre-tall carbon masts, and was built in 2018.
