POLISH SHIPYARD SUNREEF YACHTS has introduced the most technically advanced edition of the Sunreef 74, named Diana, with carbon bodywork elements and cutting edge rig. She offers all the luxury and comfort without compromising the performance.
Canadian Owner Dr George Lopez originally possessed a 62ft monohull, which showed more and more of its limitations over the years so he was looking for a bigger yacht. He named the yacht Diana in the memory of his late wife, who was a doctor of Polish descent and passed away from cancer in 2006. He and his family plan to begin their world cruise with Diana in 2017, starting in the Mediterranean and continuing on to the Caribbean and Pacific.
The yacht employed extensive use of carbon fibre, which compensates for the weight with plenty of equipment and enhances Diana’s performance. She was given a carbon deck, flybridge, bulkheads and superstructure. Her rigging includes a carbon mast and an in boom furling system. The main navigation station is equipped with touchscreens enabling automatic sail adjustments coupled with load sensors to prevent winch, hardware and rig overload.
The boat also features a large overlapping genoa for upwindoptimised performance, a code 0 for reaching and a furling spinnaker for downwind performance. All sails can be easily controlled from the helm station, enabling single-handed operation.
The interiors were the result of collaboration of Sunreef Yachts Interior Design Office, Keriann McIntosh and Lisa Henry. Diana’s saloon combines shades of oak, beige and white, and offers lots of space onboard. www.sunreef-yachts.com.
