Murdoch's superyacht 'Sarissa' arrives
Dutch carbon-fibre performance sloop with cockpit swimming pool.
Lachlan and Sarah Murdoch’s stunning new carbon-fibre superyacht Sarissa has arrived in Sydney in time for summer. Designed by Bill Tripp and built by Dutch yard Vitters, the cutting-edge yacht was two years in the making and is the largest carbon-fibre sloop built to date in the Netherlands.
Vitters Shipyard's website describes Sarissa as a spectacular 42.6 m carbon globetrotter and performance sloop with a fully modern hull shape, sail plan, and foils.
Hydraulic sailing and deck systems are said to provide improved reaction speed, load and stiffness to safely facilitate the sailing performance this modern and technical yacht was designed for.
Other custom technical features are an in-house developed hydraulic steering system with rudder feedback, as well as a unique system of back stays and running stays to operate both her cruising and racing sail configurations. The yacht has a lifting keel.
The mainsheet has been placed on an arch spanning the cockpit to keep the deck clear, while the aft cockpit can be transformed into a swimming pool for the kids.
Sarissa's design was guided by close client input and involvement, says Vitters, adding that the yacht will be used to sail all over the world with the family in tow and will take part in the established superyacht regattas.
The layout and deck plan emphasise a clean and modern look, while the family friendly layout below decks boasts a full-beam after stateroom, three guests cabins and three crew cabins.
The stunning interior is by Rhoades Young Design Ltd using a combination of limed oak, dark Italian walnut, Indian rosewood, carbon, dark leather and brushed stainless steel.
Finished in swordfish blue Alexseal paint, with a Ribling 555 tender in the 'garage', the 163 tonne Sarissa has a 56m carbon mast and will be hard to miss moored at Wooloomooloo in Sydney’s CBD.
Meantime, father Rupert reportedly listed his 184ft yacht Rosehearty , built by Perini Navi in Italy in 2006, for sale in September this year for $29.7 million. This followed his divorce from wife Wendi Deng.

Rupert Murdoch announced in September that he was stepping down from his current role at Fox Corporation and News Corp. He will handed the reins to his son, Lachlan, who will take over as sole chairman of both companies, Murdoch said in a memo to employees.
“ My father firmly believed in freedom ,” Murdoch wrote, “and Lachlan is absolutely committed to the cause.” Lachlan, 51, was born in London in 1971 . He was raised in New York with his older sister Elisabeth and younger brother James.
According to a 1998 profile of Lachlan, he sometimes woke up before dawn as a child to have breakfast with his father before he left for business meetings. He would also stay up late listening to Rupert talk business strategy at the dinner table “with famous guests,” according to the profile.

Lachlan Murdoch superyacht: $150million ship almost ready for News Corp media mogul after five years
Lachlan Murdoch is one step closer to adding a new $150million superyacht to his collection of luxury vessels.
The News Corp heir is set to receive the superyacht after patiently waiting five years for it to be developed and finally constructed by Dutch company Royal Huisman.
The superyacht has been shrouded in secrecy and was dubbed Project 404 and cost at least $150million.
Mr Murdoch's lavish expenditure comes despite the media giant dealing with two massive lawsuits.
The first is a $2.4billion defamation lawsuit brought against Fox News Network and its parent company Fox Corp over its coverage of unfounded US vote rigging claims.
The second is against Crikey where Lachlan claims a column falsely suggested he 'illegally conspired with Donald Trump to incite' the deadly January 2021 Capitol riot.
The 51-year-old does not appear too overwhelmed with the legal matters at hand as he awaits the delivery of his fourth superyacht.
The 59.7m sailing yacht has been half a decade in development with details of its construction kept largely in the dark.
Photos of the vessel were published by The Superyacht Times and shed more light on the final appearance of the superyacht.
The vessel was designed by UK based company Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design and is currently waiting to be launched from Vollenhove shipyard in the Netherlands.
The vessel features a 'reversed bow' and 'sleek profile with powerful hull lines' along with an ultra-luxurious interior design by French company Studio Liaigre.
The company also fits out homes and boats for the world's ultra-rich families.
It has room for 12 guests and 10 staff, will have an al fresco dining area, a wet bar and multiple entertaining areas.
But that's not all.
According to Royal Huisman, the 'unique and truly inspiring yacht' will house 'an expansive, lavish beach club', which is a luxury open-air pool and seating.
There is also a 'huge transom opening' that allows guests to access an 'expansive beach club area'.
'Sarissa' is written across the stern of the boat and shares the same name as a $30million vessel that is part of collection.
Mr Murdoch is an enthusiastic sailor, having raced his 24-metre sail yacht Swan 82, Ipixuna at Hamilton Island in early 2021, and entered the Sydney to Hobart in 1997.
Fox News Network and its parent company Fox Corp have been hit by a $2.4billion defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems.
The firm, which is one of the largest providers of electronic vote counting machines in the US, is claiming that its business was harmed by falsehoods aired by Fox News based on Donald Trump's lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him.
In a sworn deposition ahead of the trial, Rupert Murdoch acknowledged some of the network's stars endorsed the false claims that the election was stolen.
But he denied all of Fox backed Trump's baseless claims of widespread fraud after his election defeat.
Fox News denies defamation - saying the hosts' words were taken out of context.
The case has potential ramifications for a separate lawsuit being brought by Murdoch's eldest son, Lachlan against Australian news website, Crikey.
He is suing over a column he claims falsely suggested he 'illegally conspired with Donald Trump to incite' the deadly January 2021 US Capitol riot.
