Length / Beam Ratio
Gross tonnage (GT) has nothing to do with weight, instead it is a measurement that includes all the interior spaces of a yacht, from the main living areas to storage rooms. Both Dilbar and Al Said have lengths overall and GTs that are comparable. Actually, their amount of usable volume is almost the same. The difference is the equivalent of almost five shipping containers. YachtBuyer invites you to Discover the YB100, the superior method for ranking the world's largest yachts. The YB100 puts Dilbar in first place due to her GT, four places higher than her rank in the length-focused Top 100. Meanwhile, in the YB100, Al Said holds the second position, standing four places higher than in the Top 100.
Dilbar's range is 1,700 nm less than Al Said's, and she suffers approximately ten hours less cruising time. Moreover, she'll cruise at a pace four knots beneath Al Said, meaning that voyaging from the Seychelles to Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, could result in her arrival roughly two days and 20 hours later than Al Said.
