Langan Design

If you include the bowsprit, this three-master schooner is the world’s largest sailing yacht. Eos hails from a shipyard not normally associated with sailing; German custom superyacht builder Lürssen only built one other sailing yacht, the 133’ Twirlybird in 1993.

This yacht’s owners seem to have a penchant for Greek names that start with the letter C. They called their previous 105' (32m) yacht Cassiopeia and the name Calliope is associated with Zeus’ daughter, the muse of heroic poetry and Homer’s presumed inspiration for The Odyssey and The Iliad. Fittingly, the building of the new 138’ (42m) Calliope has been an epic (and enjoyable) journey.
