Dutch yard Contest Yachts<\/a> has delivered its 26-meter sailing superyacht flagship Polina Star IV<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Following a handover in November, Polina Star IV<\/em> has already set sail from Holland for Elba in Tuscany.<\/p>\n

Polina Star IV<\/em> was commissioned by an owner resuming an interrupted world voyage and is his third Contest yacht to date.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The yard said the yacht \u201cshines as an example of just how far semi-customization can be taken\u201d.<\/p>\n

She comes with modern-classic interiors by Wetzels Brown Partners<\/a> of Amsterdam, who previously styled the current Contest flagship PH3<\/a><\/em>, which launched in 2012.<\/p>\n

The hull form is based on the successful Contest 67CS, which naval architect firm Judel Vrolijk & Co<\/a> has extended with a moderate-shallow underbody running back from the lightly raked bow to a soft-chined, broad stern. She is fitted with a single rudder and twin helm stations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The layout is semi-customizable, with owners able to choose either an aft or a forward master cabin configuration. She can accommodate a total of nine guests.<\/p>\n

Polina Star IV<\/em> incorporates much of the owner’s and his skipper’s own design, the yard said.<\/p>\n

This has resulted in most of the forward section of the boat being given over to the crew and boat management while the galley is located back aft “for an owner as interested in cuisine as cabin comfort”.<\/p>\n

She has been designed with a self-sufficient sail plan for a crew of two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
