dream symphony sailing yacht

Building the largest sailing yacht in the world

Published 12 April 2021

At 141m (462.6ft), the sheer scale of Project DREAM SYMPHONY is jaw dropping, the engineering involved is ground breaking, and when a new owner is found and she sets sail, she will have pushed back the technical boundaries of yacht classification.

Currently in build at Dream Ship Victory's yard in Bozburun,  Turkey , is a sailing yacht project of quite staggering scale. DREAM SYMPHONY is a 141m (462.6ft) four-masted schooner-rigged sailing yacht. To put that in context, the largest sailing yacht under canvas today is the 106m (347.8ft) BLACK PEARL. DREAM SYMPHONY is over 30 percent longer - indeed she is only 1.8m (5.8ft) away from equalling the world's longest masted vessel, the sail assisted motor yacht A. Length, however, is only part of this story's ambition, as we will discover.

A natural solution

The yacht features hull design and engineering by Dykstra Naval Architects and interiors by Ken Freivokh, the same team that imagined BLACK PEARL and the 88m (288.6ft) MALTESE FALCON. However, whereas BLACK PEARL, A and MALTESE FALCON all feature steel and aluminium construction, DREAM SYMPHONY is being constructed from an entirely natural material: wood. Epoxy laminated iroko to be specific.

The use of wood was quite deliberate. It is entirely renewable and recyclable, it provides a warmer environment and, correctly constructed, a vessel of equal or even greater strength compared to steel and aluminium yachts.

The yard approached RINA to certify construction and there they ran into a problem: RINA had never certified any wooden structure over 30m in length. There followed an exacting scientific research project managed by Dykstra Naval Architects, involving composite experts SP-High Modulus, now Gurit, and exhaustive testing by laboratories at the Delft University of Technology in Holland and Italy's University of Messina. The results satisfied RINA to certify construction and the build began.

'Unique design'

Comfortably creative

Freivokh's interior, a contemporary interpretation of traditional nautical stylings, is designed to enhance the warm ambience of wood and echo the historical importance of wood as a vessel building material. The result is universal in its appeal and understated in its magnificence, celebrating the space.

Key features include and two deck atrium with a spiral staircase and an owner's duplex apartment with bedroom, bathroom and private lounge on the lower deck and the saloon and office on the main deck. A 'convertible conservatory' creates an all weather winter garden between the owner's living quarters and the main lobby.

Other features include a circular double height glass swimming pool on the aft deck, with a bottom that rises to serve as a dancefloor for entertainment purposes or as a helipad. She also has meeting rooms, spa facilities with hair and nail salons and a massage room, and a gym.

A new age awaits

Construction is currently on hold as she is looking for a new owner but when she does launch, she will redefine superyacht sailing for the modern age in a way that honours the past and acknowledges the future. Sleek, stylish and outstandingly impressive, she will be an utterly unmistakable feature in the finest destinations around the world.

The latest sailing yacht from the Maltese Falcon designers appears more conventional but is no less impressive.

The design team behind Maltese Falcon , the 289-foot sailing yacht that can be operated by one person, has created another technological marvel. When it is completed next year, Dream Symphony , at 463 feet, will be the world’s second-largest private sailing yacht, and the largest one made of wood. “It is the largest-ever all-wood yacht in the modern era,” says Ken Freivokh, whose firm, Ken Freivokh Design, collaborated with Dykstra Naval Architects to design the vessel.

When it launched from a Perini Navi boatyard in 2006, Maltese Fal­con established a new benchmark for sailing technology. Its most notable—and most noticeable—feature is its unique automated rig, which enables a skipper to sail the yacht solo. Known generically as a DynaRig and specifically as the Falcon Rig, it features three self-standing, 190-foot-tall carbon-fiber masts that rotate to trim the sails. Each mast houses five square sails. When the sails unfurl—electronically—along the masts’ rigidly attached yards, there are no gaps between them, so each sail plan essentially serves as a single sail. Together, the sails cover more than 25,800 square feet, helping to propel the vessel to a top speed of 18 knots.

Dream Symphony is being built by the Turkish boatyard Dream Ship Victory (DSV), whose owner, Valeriy Stepanenko, is responsible for the yacht’s conception. He also commissioned a 656-foot-long shed at his company’s Marmaris headquarters to accommodate the construction. It appeared as though Dream Sym­phony was going to be the world’s largest private sailing yacht, but in May, the German shipyard Nobiskrug launched White Pearl , which, reportedly at 482 feet, now claims the title. ( White Pearl ’s owner is expected to take delivery in 2016.)

Maltese Falcon and Dream Sym­phony share a design team, but they are two completely different vessels.

“They are not really comparable, and they are not sister ships,” says Anneliek van der Linde, Dykstra Naval Architects’ marketing manager. Though she concedes they do share at least one common trait: “Both are big yachts.”

Dream Symphony , a four-mast schooner, will not have a DynaRig, which was developed for Maltese Falcon in part by Dykstra under the direction of the yacht’s original owner, the American venture capitalist Tom Perkins. It is based on a concept first proposed by the German hydraulics engineer Wilhelm Prölss in the late 1960s. “The [ Dream Sym­phony ] owners decided against the DynaRig option because it did not offer the classic ‘cloud of sail’ look typical of a large schooner,” says Freivokh. Instead, the yacht’s nearly 54,000 square feet of sails will be controlled by a more traditional setup that includes Hoyt booms. “They offer considerable advantages compared with traditional booms, and they will slightly reduce the number of crew required to hoist and lower the sails and make adjustments underway,” he says. “[The rig] does not, however, provide the full manning advantages of the DynaRig, as crew are still required to assist with winching lines to adjust the trim of the sails.” Dream Symphony is designed to carry 32 crew members.

According to Freivokh, the sails and the rest of the rig will enable Dream Symphony to achieve faster speeds than Maltese Falcon . “It should be a very exhilarating and powerful experience to see such a long, sleek-sailing ship cut through the waves under sail alone at speeds in excess of 20 knots,” he says. “The whistling of the wind on the rigging and over the huge sail plan will be amazing for guests and crew, much more expressive than the DynaRig, where the sails are high up and held in total control by the curved booms with no standing or running rigging.”

Majestic as the sails will look, the construction material, not the rig, is the most remarkable aspect of Dream Symphony . Steel and aluminum are the preferred materials for yachts of this size— White Pearl is made of aluminum and steel—but Dream Symphony is fashioned mainly from iroko, a highly prized hardwood from the west coast of Africa. “Wood presents certain limitations in the size of openings, such as shell doors, open transoms, and windows,” says Freivokh. “Conversely, it provides great flexibility and quite unique acoustic isolation proper­ties, with minimum transmission of vibration from machinery.”

Adds Van der Linde: “Wood is a much less stiff material than steel or aluminum. This means that not only the strength of the hull, but also the deflection of the hull becomes very important in the structural design. Also, determining the properties of the wood material and the fact that the strength varies depending on how the wood planking is oriented in relation to the loads makes this aspect quite complicated.”

Dream Symphony will accommodate 20 guests in an interior that includes a duplex owner’s suite, two VIP suites with their own saloons, and four guest staterooms.

Amidships, an imperial-style mahog­any staircase connects the lower deck to a main-deck atrium. Other highlights include an all-glass swimming pool equipped with a rising floor that can convert the pool into an entertainment area or a touch-and-go helipad. A hair salon and nail salon, massage rooms, a gym, and outdoor dining and lounging areas are also among the yacht’s amenities. A glass-covered area of the main deck, between the owner’s suite and the guest deckhouse, transforms into an air-conditioned conservatory when electronically controlled glass panels emerge from recesses in the superstructure and enclose the space.

According to Van der Linde, despite the yacht’s size, its design will enable passengers to feel connected with the water. “Even though the vessel is very large,” she says, “the relatively low freeboard and single layer of superstructures with large glass panels all around will give a true sailing experience to those onboard.”

Dream Symphony: World’s Largest “Green” Sailing Yacht

• By Christopher White
• Updated: May 6, 2011

Dream Symphony

Earlier this year, plans were solidified for the construction of Dream Symphony , a 463-foot staysail schooner. Ken Freivokh Design penned the lines, and Dykstra & Partners Naval Architects plan to boost the boat’s “green” credentials by using carefully selected tropical, renewable wood in the build. Construction will take place at the Dream Ship Victory yard in Turkey with a planned launch date of 2016. If Dream Symphony takes to the seas, she will surpass Barry Diller’s Eos , with an overall length of 305 feet, and become the largest sailing yacht in the world.

How long will she hold this title? We’ll have to wait and see.

With a total length of 462 ft (141 m) and with a structure made entirely of wood, Dream Symphony will be the largest sailing yacht in the world. The imposing ship is currently under construction.  

Announced more than ten years ago by Turkey-based shipyard Dream Ship Victory , the imposing ship is still in the making, but when it will finally be done, it promises to push back the technical boundaries of yacht classification, as boasted by its current owner, Burgees. It will be 30 percent longer than the Black Pearl, which is currently considered the world’s largest sailing superyacht, measuring 347 ft (106 m) in length.

The design of the Dream Symphony was entrusted to Ken Freivokh from the U.K., while the naval architecture is the job of Dykstra Naval Architects, a company based in the Netherlands.

In addition to the yacht being truly special for its mind-blowing dimensions, it is also unique in that it is going to be an all-wood (epoxy laminated Iroko) construction. The wood gives the Dream Symphony a warm interior vibe, while still making it just as strong as steel and aluminum vessels.

In terms of design, the owner asked for privacy, practicality, classical elegance with a modern twist, as reported by Burgees. The Dream Symphony will feature a diesel-electric propulsion system offering a maximum range of 5,900 Nm at 14 knots.

With a two-deck atrium and a spiral staircase, the vessel will have the owner’s duplex apartment on the lower deck, with a bedroom, private bathroom, and lounge. On the main deck, you’ll find a salon and office. There’s also a circular, all-glass swimming pool with a rising floor that can be deployed as a helipad.

A convertible conservatory located between the main lobby and the owner’s living quarters can be closed at a touch of a button and creates an all-weather winter garden.

Other notable features are a spa with nail and hair salons, a gym, a massage room, and meeting rooms.

The building process of the yacht has been stalled for a significant amount of time and it is currently on hold. But the hull of the ship is almost complete and Burgees is now striving to speed things up by looking for a new owner for the Dream Symphony. There’s no price mentioned, so you have to contact  Burgees  for more info on that.

BOAT OF THE WEEK: INSIDE THE 7-YEAR QUEST TO BUILD 'DREAM SYMPHONY,' THE WORLD'S LARGEST SAILBOAT.

Dream Symphony may be the most amazing boat we'll never see. Years after its owner dropped the project, it sits idle in a Turkish shipyard.  

When  Dream Symphony  was first announced in 2014, the yachting world was all aflutter. At 462 feet in length, it promised to be not only the largest yacht produced in Turkey, but the largest sailing yacht ever built (except for the sail-assisted motoryacht  Sailing Yacht A,  which is technically more motorsailer than sailboat).

Even more incredible is that  Dream Symphony  was to be constructed entirely out of wood. The use of epoxy laminated iroko (African teak) forms an integral part of boatbuilder Dream Ship Victory’s vision to successfully bring laminated wood into modern shipbuilding. The yard has a successful track record. In 2013, it delivered the 212-foot  Mikhail S. Vorontsov , built entirely out of laminated mahogany.

At more than double the length,  Dream Symphony  is a much larger technical challenge. Of course, the biggest challenge since its announcement seven years ago has been finding an owner—or rather a second owner. After the initial brouhaha about the world’s largest sailboat,  Dream Symphony  went dark.

“ The original owner pulled out when the Ukrainian crisis came about ,”  Dream Symphony ’s designer Ken Freivokh told  Robb Report . “ The project went on up to a point, a bit slower, but now we’re looking for a new owner .”

Actually, the project has been stalled. Freivokh shared images of a partially built hull inside the shipyard, and he says it has since progressed, but not to the point where it’s anything resembling his majestic renderings. While gigayachts in the motoryacht segment are being ordered and delivered with regularity, the world’s-largest sailing yacht will require a very special owner.

When—or  if —the yacht is completed, it will be worth the wait.  Dream Symphony  reunites the same A-team that conceived the iconic sailing superyachts, the 350-foot  Black Pearl  and 289-foot  Maltese Falcon . The hull design and engineering were completed by Dykstra Naval Architects, while Freivokh was responsible for the interior and exterior.

“ Building the largest sailing yacht is what the shipyard owner has always wanted to achieve ,” says Freivokh. The shipyard’s preference for wood is based on the material’s renewable and recyclable properties. But the yard’s principals take it a step farther by asserting that wood produces a vessel of “equal or even greater strength” than steel and aluminum.

It has not been smooth sailing, though. When Dream Ship Victory approached RINA to certify construction, the Italian marine agency balked. It had never certified any wooden vessel over 98.4-feet in length. There followed an exacting process managed by Dykstra Naval Architects, involving composite experts Gurit, and exhaustive testing by laboratories at the Delft University of Technology in Holland and Italy’s University of Messina. The results satisfied RINA to certify construction and the build began.

“ It’s almost the equivalent of a huge composite build ,” said Freivokh. “ The epoxy lamination is quite a complex system, but it preserves the wood, which means it should last a long time and behave very predictably .”

The original owner called for elegant use of wood across the interior. “ The idea was to express the beauty of wood, so the owner was keen to have a fairly classic interior, and even the exterior is a modern interpretation of a classic ,” says Freivokh. “ At one point, we considered a contemporary style like Black Pearl, but the owner resisted that in favor of something more traditional, so it stands as a four-masted schooner .”

The four masts tower 229.7 feet above the water, carrying furling staysails on Hoyt booms with a total sail area 54,680 square feet. If built, the boat will also have a diesel-electric propulsion system for a maximum range under power of 5,900 nautical miles. A two-deck atrium with a spiral staircase is twinned with an owner’s duplex apartment spread across two decks. The “convertible conservatory” links the owner’s living quarters with the main lobby via an glass winter garden that opens to the elements. More glass features in the double-height glass swimming pool on the aft deck, with a bottom that rises to serve as a dance floor or helipad. Like motoryachts its size,  Dream Symphony  was designed with a spa, treatment rooms and gym.

Freivokh is now working on two other wooden superyachts currently in build at Dream Ship Victory, and is finalizing a 243-foot yacht for Turquoise, another Turkish yard. “Owners who want to build in wood still remain in the minority, but it’s highly personal and some just love the passion of associated with beautiful old classics,” says the designer.

Perhaps. But the new owner has to be willing to take on a much larger technical challenge to claim the title of world’s largest sailboat.

Dream Symphony

Dream Symphony is a gaff schooner sail 141.00m (462'7"ft) from Dream Ship Victory, due to launch in 2019.

The 141m 4-masted schooner was given the go-ahead for constuction in 2011, and is due to emerge from the Turkish shipyard in 2019. She was designed by Dykstra Navel Architects, with beautiful exterior and interior stylying by Ken Freivokh

A top speed is of 19.5kn is achieved by two diesel electric engines, and she is able to accommodate a whopping 18 guests and 32 crew members.

Dream Symphony offers an incredible aesthetic in addition to the unique wood building technology proposed by Dykstra & Partners. The luxury yacht also boasts excellent green credentials.

The world’s biggest sailing yacht: 141 metres of wood

Its name is  Dream Symphony  and once its building will be concluded in 2017, with a 141 metres length and a 18 metres beam it will become the  world’s biggest sailing yacht ever built.

The never-ending duel between EOS and Maltese Falcon will thus come to an end. It’s been quite a battle, with the  Falcon claiming for leadership  by considering its waterline length of  256′ , 20′ more than the one of  EOS , while  EOS  has always declared itself the biggest sailing yacht thanks to the bowsprit, with a total length of  305′.

Dream Symphony will serve as a peacemaker , since when its building will be completed next year, it will be without any doubt the world’s biggest private sailing ship.

Designed by  Ken Freivokh and Dykstra Naval Architects Studio , those who signed Maltese Falcon blueprints, Symphany will have four masts for a total sailing area of 5.000 sq.m.

It will have two decks , with a clear division between the owner’s area and guests and crew areas. A swimming pool will be built at stern,  with a upholstery capable of sustaining the weight of a helicopter. The yacht is being built at  Dream Ship Victory shipyard, Turkey.

To make the project even more interesting is the fact  Dream Symphony is being built mainly of wood , that is a real technological challenge since beyond a certain length traditional planking cannot be used because of the strain and stress the yacht is undergoing.  Builders made an assembly work with  laminates in order to create a solid and robust hull , completing the building with fiberglass as an external protective layer.

The wood used in the making is  iroko , a highly resistant wood that will absorbe the huge amount of work originating from the mast compression , stays and waves solicitation.

Luxury onboard doesn’t only apply to materials and finishings but to spaces as well. There will be only 18 guests and 9 cabins onboard,  while the crew will be made up of 32 members.

Price? That’s a question you shouldn’t ask.

Hi, I am a Cabinet maker&Joiner, I am 67 years young I have been in the game since I was 15 years old, may be I can help with the timber ship, kind regards David.

This is an extremely significant engineering undertaking. I’ll be following the progress, companies and personnel who will be contributing their life’s work on this “for professionals only” vessel. Can’t wait to see the rest of the specifications and engineering systems. Let me know if you need any trans-Atlantic delivery crew. Hopefully we’ll see Dream Symphony in Bermuda. I’ve got the resume for joining the deck, engineering & bridge crew for some of your longer passages. Good luck! ~ Pete

One of my pet peeves is when they call vessels it instead of she it is highly disrespectful and very lubberly Good luck with the Turks I try to start my business down there 10 years ago and the young Turkish naval architect told me don’t believe a thing we say we lie about everything one day he would save it say to me he can supply 20 men at 8 Euros an hour the next day he would put it up to 12 I never knew where I was so I gave up

looks that this boat has not been built finally?

Project Description

Project name:, year of construction:.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.
