Spectacular unstepping of sailing yacht Asashi’s mast at STP in Palma

Palma.—Sailing yacht Asashi started her refit at STP with the spectacular unstepping of her mast.
This superyacht’s two aluminium masts, which bear a sail area of around 1.500m², are 58.8 m. (the main-mast) and 48.26 m. (the mizzen-mast) tall.
