Would you set sail in this beauty?

The three free-standing masts can tilt 70 degrees forward to reduce the air draft from 237 feet to 134 feet and enable the vessel to sail under most bridges.Moreover, the next-gen setup, which is free of yards and shrouds, has integrated load-sensing technology that tells the captain how much to drive the sailing rig. Plus, the sails can be automatically set or dropped on a whim.

Sporting a sleek, ice-class steel hull and aluminum superstructure, Glory is designed for global voyages. She’s fitted with a 6,000 hp hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system that gives her an estimated top speed of 17 knots and a range of 6,709 nautical miles when traveling at a cruising speed of 14 knots . The motors and sails obviously can also work simultaneously for a greater range and speed.Onboard, the five-decker gigayacht offers accommodation for up to 26 guests and a crew of 40.
