This is what the world's tallest carbon masts look like for the world's largest sailing yacht. These "babies" (90m each) alone took 3 years to create, during which they were designed, built, tested. No wonder that the largest mast in the world will be clad in large sailcloths - reportedly, the total area of White Pearl's sailing equipment will exceed the size of a football field. The masts are not only impressive-looking, they are also wildly clever inside, equipped with built-in sensors which will read the yacht's progress and tell you how to optimise it.
