Key: Year - delivery/active; Shipyard- makers of the yacht; LOA- overall length; LOD- length on deck; LWL- waterline length; Beam- width
[edit] Largest sailing yachts (65m+)
The largest sailing yachts by various measures. Differing values for overall length, waterline length, displacement, gross tonnage, and sail area complicate opinion on a single largest sailing yacht. For instance, Mirabella V is the largest sloop but not the largest in other categories. Biggest in bold. However, this is limited to yachts active in 2008 which excludes some of the largest sailing yachts of the previous century, such as E.F. Hutton's 360 ft (109.7 m) Hussar (later renamed and converted to a cruise ship).
