Twice a year, some of the biggest and most famous super-size sailing yachts gather for a friendly race called The Superyacht Cup. The December 2008 race, held in Antigua, was marked by stormy skies and seas, but the yachts and their crews persevered. See more photos at www.madmariner.com

The family-owned Royal Huisman yard has been in business since 1884, and many a yachtsman has turned to its team for a fully custom sailing yacht. Jim Clark, founder of Netscape, did that very thing when he wanted to build Athena. At 295 feet, the yacht is the world's largest privately owned three-masted schooner and exudes classic charm.
