BOOTE EXCLUSIV-Ranking 2025: The 200 largest sailing yachts in the world - places 75 to 51
The top 100 sailing yachts and their stories:
Two sailing yachts line up in places 73 and 74: The contemporary motorsailer Reposado (73rd place) was built at the Radez shipyard, similar to "Clase Azul" (102nd place). The steel hull was built in Blato, a town in the north of the island of Korčula, while the aluminium rig with furling system was manufactured at the site in the north of the island and mounted on the mast. The interior was also fitted out near the coast and based on designs by the Serbian design studio NO.mad.
Scorpios (74th place) is also among the newly entered sailing yachts. The fleet of motor sailers from the Croatian Radez halls has been expanded to include the 52-metre "Scorpios". The exterior design once again comes from the shipyard, while the interior, similar to its sister "Reposada", was created by Serbian design studio NO.mad Design. The robust steel construction is 8.60 metres wide and is powered by two Baudouin generators, which enable a speed of up to 16 knots. In calm Mediterranean weather, the captain has access to tanks that can hold up to 50 tonnes of diesel.
The oldest ship in the top 100
The "Shenandoah of Sark" is the oldest ship in the top 100 and ranks 55th (2023: 49th). This gaff schooner has a long and eventful history: In 1902, the yacht was launched in New York for the financier Gibson Fahnestock. Over the years, she has changed hands several times; in 1994, a German owner gave the steel boat a comprehensive general overhaul in New Zealand, which took three years. Around 2017, the three-master was owned by an Italian, and in 2018 another comprehensive cosmetic and technical overhaul was carried out. The interior design was created by Terence Disdale and offers space for up to ten guests and eleven crew members. The "Shenandoah of Sark" enjoys long voyages and regattas.

75th place - Nazenin V - 52.00 metres
The lady sails under the Turkish flag and is also travelling in these waters. Mustafa Rahmi Koç, former head of the Turkish Koç Holding - to which the RMK shipyard also belongs - expanded his fleet with the aluminium motor sailer. Brendan Abbott from Sparkman & Stephens designed the exterior lines of the Ketsch, while Redman Whiteley Dixon developed the interior. A crow's nest raises the 60 metre long carbon main mast.

Starting at around 250,000 euros a week, she is available to twelve charter guests, including for regattas.

She was last welcomed by a new owner in 2022, who gave her a refit. "Zenji" has a higher forward freeboard for more tender storage space.
