An “inukshuk” (pronounced “in-ook-shook”) is symbol of the Inuit tribe’s way of life in the Canadian Arctic. Inukshuks are massive stone piles in the shape of people with outstretched arms. They were used as means of communicating. They symbolized good places to fish or hunt, navigation aids, and more, often the only sign that people had been in the area. Inukshuk, a Baltic 107, has artwork aboard representing ancient inukshuks. This 107-foot (32.64-meter) sailing yacht features further artwork, tones, and textures common to the Canadian territory. Built in 2013, she has gone on to garner awards. Just this past October, Inukshuk received the “Best Sail, 24m to 40m” award from the International Superyacht Society. In this video, you’ll get a sense of what stimulated the judges’ interests. You can learn more at the Inukshuk website, including how to charter her.
