Our recent super yacht projects
CQS – 100ft Bakewell -White Super Maxi
CQS is the result of a massive refit of the previously 90ft yacht Nicorette. The technical innovations that have been incorporated push the limits of the yacht’s design. CQS features a radical new bow shape, forward section and lateral “wings” to support the much more powerful new rig. The maximum width is then carried to the transom to widen the sheeting angles and maximise the use of the crew weight for stability.
In addition to the canting keel, CQS has a DSS aqua foil system, which uses a sliding board that runs across the boat from one side to the other and protrudes from the hull just below the waterline. The board is deployed on the leeward, or downwind, side of the boat to give lift and added stability. The hull, in effect, becomes like an aeroplane with one wing. Evolution sails is proud to have played an active role in the boat’s development as well as supplying the complete sail inventory.
Cavallo – Baltic 141
Launched in 2003, Cavallo is a majestic 43-metre sloop, built in composite by the prestigious Finnish shipyard, Baltic Yachts. Luxury sailing yacht Cavallo features exterior design by the yard’s in-house team and Judel/Vrolijk, while her interior design is by John Munford.
All upwind sails on Cavallo are Evolution Sails Expedition Membranes.

Jacquelina – 87ft Bill-Dixon
Jacquelina is an 87′ Bill Dixon-designed cruising sloop which underwent a rig modification from the previous Aerorig. The new set of upwind sails includes a Square Top mainsail and an overlapping furling jib, which are both Evolution Sails Expedition Membranes.

Cartouche – 95ft Blue Coast
Designed by the renowned naval architects Coste Design & Partners and built by the reputed shipyard H2X, Blue Coast 95’ heralds a new generation of high-tech, opulent sailing yachts. With a length of 28.8m and a beam over the 12m Blue Coast 95′ is undoubtedly one of the most elegant luxury catamarans ever built.
Cartouche is built for ease of handling and fast cruising with a minimal need for crew. The Blue Coast 95′ is to date the biggest luxury sail catamaran to be equipped with a fully automatic furling boom, allowing safe and easy sail reduction.
In 2018, Evolution Sails supplied a new square top Element membrane Mainsail and a E-Tech Code Zero, greatly aiding the boat in its performance cruising, and easily powering her in reaching and light-wind upwind sailing.
