Black Pearl is a sailing yacht launched in 2016, which is 106.7 meters (350.1 ft) in length.[4] It has three DynaRig masts supporting a sail area of 2,900 square meters (31,215 sq ft).[4] The yacht was known during its build process originally as Oceanco Y712 and thereafter as "Project Solar". The hull is steel, the superstructure aluminum, and the masts carbon fiber.[5] The yacht is owned by the family of Russian billionaire Oleg Burlakov, who died in 2021.[1][6][7]
As of 2018 when designed, it was expected that Black Pearl could cross the Atlantic using only 20 litres (4.4 imp gal; 5.3 US gal) of fuel, aided by regenerative technologies.[8][needs update] One key technology to support this is to use the speed of the vessel through the water under sail to generate electricity with a variable pitch propeller.[8] The yacht also features heat capture technologies and large scale storage batteries to capture energy generated but not immediately used.
