First look: Spirit 72DH a contemporary classic

• November 7, 2022

We take a look at the recently announced Spirit 72DH, which marks something of a change for the British based company with a very contemporary interior

Product Overview

Spirit Yachts ’ latest launch, the Spirit 72DH, embodies the key features that make these boats so desirable, while also marking a break with tradition for the company.

All the hallmarks for which the marque is renowned, including the modern and efficient underwater profile, an easily handled powerful rig and stunning exterior lines, are still there. The same is true of the exquisite woodwork that’s both a work of art and produces a lightweight and very stiff structure.

However, the 72DH interior represents a step-change offering a much more open and contemporary feel than any of the yard’s previous deckhouse designs.

“The owners wanted to introduce a more modern style,” explains CEO and head of design Sean McMillan. “So we opened up the interior to let in more natural light and maximise the central entertaining space.”

White satin painted panels and an LED lighting system complement the warmth of natural timber, while staying true to the owner’s brief. The spacious saloon has seating for eight around an expanding mahogany table, with natural light enhanced by a pair of Spirit’s trademark overhead fantail decklights.

Despite the fine lines there’s stowage on deck for a wide range of watersports toys, plus a folding F-RIB tender, while the cockpit has seating for up to 10 around a central table with an integrated drinks fridge. Gear includes electric under deck headsail furlers and a rotating padeye to which asymmetric spinnakers can be tacked, providing easy handling and clean aesthetics.

Spirit Yachts has once again struck a perfect balance between a classic wooden sailboat and a contemporary yacht.

The British yard’s newest model, dubbed the Spirit 72DH , pairs an elegant mirror-varnished mahogany exterior with a decidedly modern interior. The 72-footer was designed for a European client looking to cruise, race and charter in the Mediterranean.

As you might have gathered from the DH designation, the yacht is one of Spirit’s Deckhouse designs that are characterized by long overhangs, flush decks and a raised coachroof. What sets it apart, though, is everything down below.

“The 72DH is the first Spirit deckhouse without a ‘mid-level’ seating and navigation area linking the cockpit and the main interior space,” Spirit’s CEO and head of design Sean McMillan said in a statement .

Essentially, the team opened up the interior to create a larger, brighter central entertaining space. In addition, white satin panels and LEDs were installed to meet the owner’s request for a “more modern style.” Of course, there is still a healthy amount of natural timbers to please the purists.

At the center of the yacht, the spacious saloon is fitted with a comfy sofa and an eight-seat Mahogany table that can be lowered to create space for an extra bed. The well-equipped galley is located port side, while the navigation area and chart table can be found starboard.

Elsewhere, there is one crew cabin and three guest cabins with en suites. The owner’s suite is equipped with a king-sized bed, a banquette sofa, a handcrafted dressing table with an integrated jewelry cabinet and a large en suite. To top it off, the cockpit sports a large table, 10 seats and a built-in drink fridge that ensures refreshments are at arm’s reach. Of course, there’s also plenty of storage space for water toys and tenders.

Up top, the 72DH sports a Bermudan sloop rig comprised of a carbon mast and boom from Hall Spars, nitronic rod rigging and electric Lewmar winches. In addition, the sailboat packs a Yanmar engine and Mastervolt alternator that together propel her to a maximum speed of 10 knots or 8 knots while cruising. She also has a small generator that can recharge batteries or power the electric oven and A/C.

Summer in the Mediterranean has never looked better—for one European seafarer, at least.

Spirit Yachts Reveals 22 Metre Sailing Yacht Spirit 72DH

British sailing yacht yard Spirit Yachts has revealed its new Spirit 72 Deckhouse yacht, which is currently under construction in Suffolk.

Due to launch, in 2021, the 22 metre yacht has been specifically designed to meet the owner’s requirements for cruising, racing and chartering in the Mediterranean.

It is the first Spirit yacht to have carbon integrated into the build, with a carbon reinforced structure linking the keel, stainless steel chain plates and mast step.

Spirit managing director Nigel Stuart said this would result in saving “over 800kg versus the stainless steel equivalent”. This will “optimise the overall performance of the yacht” on the water, he added.

The yacht will also features a Bermudan sloop rig, carbon mast and boom courtesy of `Hall Spars and a sail wardrobe from OneSails.

While the exterior of the yacht has the appearance of Spirit’s standard deckhouse designs, the interior is a “step change” for the British yard.

Notably, it is the first Spirit deckhouse yacht without a mid-level seating and navigation area in-between the cockpit and main interior. The decision to do away with this feature was to “maximise the living area and introduce a more modern style,” Sean added.

Elsewhere, the raised coachroof’s 360 degree windows above the galley allows plenty of natural light into the interior. Combined with a white finish, this creates a “bright and airy space”.

Accommodation on board is for a total of six guests and two crew. The guest quarters comprises a forward master suite and two guest twins.

On deck, the yacht features a cockpit table large enough to seat 10 people and storage for a range of water toys and rib tender.

SPIRIT YACHTS UNVEILS NEW SPIRIT 72 DECKHOUSE

Spirit interiors.

Spirit Yachts has revealed its new Spirit 72DH (Deckhouse) sailing yacht. Launched earlier this year, the custom Spirit 72DH (Deckhouse) was designed to meet a European owner’s criteria for cruising, racing, and chartering in the Mediterranean. Scroll down to watch a video of the new Spirit 72DH on the water.

On her exterior, the Spirit 72DH has the long overhangs, flush decks and raised coachroof of all Spirit Deckhouse designs. Down below, she houses a step change in Spirit interior design.

Spirit Yachts CEO and Head of Design Sean McMillan said, “The 72DH is the first Spirit deckhouse without a ‘mid-level’ seating and navigation area linking the cockpit and the main interior space.”

Sean continued: “The owners wanted to introduce a more modern style, so we opened up the interior to let in more natural light and to maximise the central entertaining space. White satin panels and an LED lighting system complement the natural timbers but stay true to the contemporary brief.”

The port side galley is well-equipped for private and charter guests, with an induction hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer and microwave. Opposite the galley on the starboard side is a navigation area and chart table.

In the centre of the yacht’s interior is the spacious saloon, which has seating for eight around a Sipo Mahogany expanding table, which can be lowered to create an extra bed. A starboard-side sofa completes the central seating area.

Accommodation for eight is split across one crew and three guest cabins. A forward master suite comprises a king-sized bed, a banquette sofa on the starboard side, and a hand-crafted dressing table with integrated jewellery cabinet. The accompanying ensuite includes an electric toilet, basin, and separate shower cubicle.

Guests have the option of two aft twin-bed cabins on the port and starboard sides. Both cabins are ensuite with an electric toilet, basin and shower. A forward twin crew cabin completes the interior, which has air conditioning throughout.

On deck, the Spirit 72DH has a Bermudan sloop rig and is well equipped for performance cruising or occasional racing. Carbon mast and boom from Hall Spars and nitronic rod rigging complement electric Lewmar winches. A sail wardrobe from OneSails comprises a mainsail, self-tacking jib and conventional jib, code zero, and an asymmetric spinnaker. The headsails are fitted to an electric furler below deck and the asymmetric is attached to a rotating padeye on the bow for short-handed sailing.

A Yanmar 4LV150 engine with a high output Mastervolt alternator will deliver a maximum speed of 10knots or 8knots whilst cruising. A small and efficient generator is fitted for battery recharging or to support the electric oven and air conditioning. The yacht also has the option to integrate Solbian solar panels into the aft deck to assist in regenerating the batteries.

The cockpit has seating for up to ten people around a central table with an integrated drinks fridge. Ahead of summers in the Mediterranean, the 72DH has deck storage for a range of watersports toys and an F-Rib tender.
