At 468ft in length, with ship masts nearing 300ft high, 'Sailing Yacht A' is the world's biggest sailing ship
The yacht has been built for Russian billionaire Andrey Igorevich Melnichenko out of a German shipyard
Cruise speed is 18mph, with a top speed of 24mph. The hull is made of steel, with a teak-finish deck
Superyacht expert tells MailOnline that it will be 'very significant ship' once the interior work is completed
Mr Melnichenko, whose net worth is estimated at £6billion ($9billion), founded the fertilizer producer EuroChem
When money is no object, it pays to keep up with the times.
And that's exactly what one Russian billionaire has done as he has upgraded his £190million superyacht for a new model - at a cost of £260million.
Andrey Igorevich Melnichenko's 'Sailing Yacht A,' which Mr Melnichenko is thought to have named 'A' to ensure it is listed first in shipping registers, is taking its first sea trials in Kiel, northern Germany.
The behemoth is the world's largest sailing superyacht as the Russian industrialist takes his quest to ruling the seas one step further.
