Northrop & Johnson will exhibit the 40m J Class Rainbow, 34m Song of the Sea and 21m Xeres sailing monohulls along with the remarkable 22m Hanstaiger X1 trimaran at the Palma International Boat Show from April 28-May 1. All four yachts will be available for viewings in the Palma Superyacht Village for the duration of the four-day event.
A multiple award winner, the hybrid Rainbow (asking price €6,950,000) was built by Holland Jachtbouw as a replica of the classic J Class yacht Rainbow that won the America’s Cup in 1934. Featuring naval architecture by Dykstra Naval Architects, the 2012 sloop is the first J Class to have a hybrid propulsion and power system, with batteries that can be charged while sailing to reduce the carbon footprint along with her electric systems.
Song of the Sea (€3,850,000), the third Swan 112, was launched in 2002 to a design by German Frers and has an interior by Dick Young. The Finnish-built 112-footer features a Southern Spars carbon mast and furling boom.
Xeres (€1,195,000) was designed by Niels Jeppesen of X-Yachts, built in the UK by Green Marine and launched in 2005. The IMX-70 was built as a high-performance cruiser-racer and features a carbon hull and deck construction with carbon composite bulkheads and keel floor structures. Green Marine’s other builds include Ben Ainslie’s America’s Cup yacht, 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race winner Abu Dhabi and Alex Thompson’s IMOCA 60 Hugo Boss.
From Germany, the Hanstaiger X1 (€4,250,000) is a remarkable 72ft trimaran with a 32ft beam and 92cm retractable centreboard. Featuring a dark hull and sail, the yacht features an angular, glass filled superstructure along with 830sqft of outdoor spaces including a 320sqft flybridge and 290sqft beach club extension.
The hull of the Hanstaiger X1 is created out of one single piece of vacuum-infused high-grade mould, which comprises fiberglass, carbon and titanium. The superstructure of the Hanstaiger X1 is constructed entirely of carbon-fibre with solar panels integrated into the superstructure.
