Russian Oligarch’s 'Black Pearl' at the Center of Huge Legal Dispute Over His Fortune

By: Scott Way

Pirates weren't the type to write a will, but the one written by a Russian billionaire who owned the Black Pearl is now the focus of an epic estate battle. It seems there is no hiding on the seven seas.

The 350-foot long $200 million Black Pearl sailing yacht was commissioned by Russian oligarch Oleg Burlakov, who passed away in June at age 72. Burlakov was a self-made industrial tycoon with the nickname "The Cement King" who had business dealings across the chemical, aerospace, and energy industries. He was also a patriot and served in the Russian Air Force, then under the USSR moniker, through the 70's and 80's with a distinguished record. Upon leaving the military he invested heavily in the oil industry and eventually took control of one of Russia's biggest national companies, Novoroscement. He also later took the helm of oil exploration company Burneftgaz. When he sold Novoroscement in 2007 for $1.5 billion and Burneftegaz in 2014 for $1 billion, his fortune became massive. Oleg and his wife Lyudmila moved to Canada in 1995, and he was laid to rest in July 2021 in North York, a borough of Toronto. He is survived by his wife of 48 years, and two daughters Elena and Veronica.

Aside from his wealth and economic pursuits, Burlakov was also considered an eco-sailing pioneer for his work developing the Black Pearl , which he commissioned in 2010. The unique sailing yacht is widely considered an engineering feat due to both its size and self-sustaining construction. The ship carries three carbon fiber masts with over 31,000 sq ft of sail area, and has a maximum speed of 30 knots (35 mph) under wind power. The sails themselves absorb solar power to run the ship's electronic systems. The ship's builder, Oceanco , claims the Black Pearl can cross the Atlantic unsupported without burning any fossil fuel (although it does have diesel engines as backups).

But despite his wealth and influence Burlakov's death has triggered one of the biggest estate battles in human history. His first will, allegedly written in 2004, gave his entire fortune to his wife and daughters. However, three years ago Burlakov was accused of infidelity and he and his wife Lyudmila were in the midst of divorce proceedings at the time of his death. Now, a mysterious second will has emerged that favours Burlakov's sister and brother-in-law. The second will is apparently a two-page handwritten document written in a notebook that was discovered after Burlakov's death.

The assets in dispute include more than just the Black Pearl . There is also a $100 million mansion in Monaco, a private jet, and an estimated $4 billion in cash. The legal battle is taking place in court in Monaco, Italy, but focuses on a series of meetings between Burlakov and his wife and daughters in London in 2018. There, the family claims, Burlakov began a fraudulent scheme to hide his wealth and put it in the hands of his brother-in-law Nikolai Kazakov. According to Lyudmila and the daughters, Oleg claimed an agreement had always been in place with Kazakov for the bulk of his wealth. The meetings in 2018 didn't come to a resolution, and now with the appearance of a handwritten second will that favours Kazakov, the legal battle is just starting to set sail.

As for the Black Pearl , she is the second largest sailing yacht in the world behind fellow Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko's 469-foot Sailing Yacht A (although they were both set to get bumped down by Jeff Bezos' rumored 500-footer ). She was built by Dutch shipyard Oceanco, who also built Sailing Yacht A and are rumoured to be building the Bezos yacht. The ship is equipped with a unique propulsion system that harnesses solar energy generated while under sail, meaning it rarely needs to use its diesel engines to power its internal systems or provide propulsion. Each of her three carbon fiber masts is a staggering 229 feet high, and her custom-built DynaRig sails can be set in just seven minutes. Below deck there is room for 12 guests, a spa swimming pool, a hot tub, a cinema, and a beach club.

As for the legal proceedings, things are just heating up as Oleg's mistress Sofia Shevtsova has now entered the fray. The 27 year old Russian woman is threating to have Burlakov exhumed for a DNA sample to prove he fathered her child. If that proves true, Shevtsova will also be entering the legal battle for a share of the fortune.

Step Inside the Black Pearl Yacht

Care for the environment is at the very heart of this game-changing superyacht's design.

By Emma Al-Mousawi

Standing at 350ft, Black Pearl is the world’s largest sailing yacht and is estimated to have cost in excess of $200 million. The unique vessel was garnering global attention long before her maiden voyage thanks to her revolutionary design, eco-credentials and technological advancements, all of which have set a new industry standard and seen her scoop-up numerous awards for innovation. 

Delivered in 2018 by Dutch shipyard Oceanco, the three-mast yacht is said to be the realization of a radical vision by her owner who wanted “to build something that was out of the ordinary in every way,” according to the ship’s captain Chris Gartner. Who is Black Pearl’s owner? This, along with much of her interior details, has never been officially released, all adding to  Black Pearl’s mystique. That being said, she is widely believed to belong to the Russian businessman, Oleg Burlakov.

This unmistakable vessel is not the product of one designer but in fact the result of an ambitious cross-industry collaboration between some of international yachting’s greatest creative minds. UK-based Ken Freivokh Design (responsible for the iconic Maltese Falcon ) and Italian studio Nuvolari Lenard (behind Steven Speilberg’s Seven Seas yacht) teamed up to create her striking exterior. However, it is not just her aesthetics that sets her apart, but also her utilization of the very latest green technology, which according to Oceanco, has rendered her capable of crossing the Atlantic without using any fuel. “How?” one might ask. 

Let’s start with her three imposing 230ft DynaRig carbon masts designed by Dykstra Naval Architects. The innovative structure sees her sails subdivided into smaller sections that can be set or furled at the touch of a button. “The key to the DynaRig’s effectiveness is just how easy it makes sailing Black Pearl rather than relying on propulsion from fossil fuels,”  says Gartner. “With a single person able to set 2,900 sq meters (31, 215 sq ft) of sail area in just under seven minutes, we can quickly and simply turn off the main engines and harness the power of the wind, which costs nothing and is better f or the environment.”

In fact, under sail, the yacht can reach an incredible 30 knots and regenerate enough energy to power the boat’s full house load, removing the need to run generators. 

Black Pearl is also powered by an advanced hybrid propulsion system that Oceanco designed in collaboration with specialist consultancy BMT Nigel Gee. Gartner explains how the complex system generates electricity through the vessel’s spinning propellers: “Her hybrid propulsion installation has two shaft lines, each with a controllable pitch propeller.

In normal sailing mode, the propellers are set to minimize drag and prevent the shafts from turning. But when we want to harvest some of that kinetic energy to be stored and used onboard, the pitch of the propellers is altered to create a lifting force as the water passes over them. This rotates the shafts, which are connected to a permanent magnet electric propulsion motor, effectively converting the wind energy that is moving Black Pearl through the water into electrical energy.”

Her interiors – which remain a closely guarded secret – were also designed by Nuvolari Lenard and French architect Gerard Villate . Other than that, what we do know is that she has six cabins providing accommodation for up to 12 guests, including a master suite and two VIP cabins. Black Pearl’s total interior volume is a roomy 2,700 GT, significantly overshadowing the world’s second-largest sailing yacht the EOS at 1500 GT. 

No actual pictures of the inside of the vessel have ever been released but according to Nuvolari Lenard, the interior is a celebration of Louis XVI French design (think elaborate neoclassical touches like wood carvings, gold accents and sumptuous fabrics) as well as some art deco touches. The Italian design studio has also shared a handful of interior renderings to give us a hint of what may lie inside the Black Pearl yacht . These include an elaborately decorated dining room that can seat up to 16 guests. We would expect to see this same level of grandeur throughout her accommodation.

Black Pearl is said to have a wealth of recreational spaces spread across her three decks, though due to her secretive nature, little information has been published as to what delights she offers her passengers. Aerial photographs reveal a pool aft of the main deck as well as a hot tub aft of the upper deck. There is also a fold-down platform at the aft of the yacht which is likely to transform into a full-beam beach club. 

Ken Freivokh Design features a mysterious unnamed 328-ft-plus DynaRig yacht on its website which some may speculate could give us an insight into the luxury facilities on board the vessel. The unidentified yacht includes a su bstantial toy and tender garage housing two limousine tenders, a hydroplane and a range of utility tenders and jet skis. It is also said to feature a helipad and an extending forward deck that can be used for entertaining guests as well as spotting dolphins. If that wasn’t enough, other out-of-this-world amenities include a glass-fronted swimming pool and an aquarium. Could Black Pearl host similar facilities? It’s anyone’s guess.

A true sailing vessel, the Black Pearl yacht is built for adventure and her lower carbon footprint means her voyages are much kinder to the planet than those of a typical motor yacht of similar stature. 

Despite her transatlantic credentials she appears to spend most of her time cruising around Europe with regular sightings in Gibraltar as well as stopovers on the Isle of Portland on England’s south coast, the Spanish ports of Cadiz and Tarragona, the Russian city of St.Petersburg and of course Monaco where her owner is said to reside.

According to Marine Traffic , at the time of publication, she was docked in Montenegro at the small but glamorous port of Tivat, located in an enclave of the Adriatic.

Black Pearl Oceanco 106m, the black pearl of the seas

The Black Pearl is the second-largest sailing boat in the world , with its 106.7 metres length overall. Built by the Oceanco yard, it is a concentration of high technology

by Mariateresa Campolongo – photo by Tom Van Oossanen

IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT THE PEARL IS ONE OF TH E MOST PRECIOUS THINGS IN NATURE.  Rarer still, and even more highly prized, is the black pearl, which comes from French Polynesian islands around Tahiti, and which is a symbol of self-reliance, strength and independence. A name as evocative as that could only be given to a unique yacht: the Black Pearl , a true rare pearl that ploughs through the seas unfurling her sails, entirely black, and evokes the fictional ship of the same name from the film series Pirates of the Caribbean , which was famous for its amazing speed.

The first thing that strikes you is her extraordinary length: 106.7 metres overall , that makes the Black Pearl one of the largest sailing boats ever made, second only to the famous A, by Philippe Starck, which is 142 metres long but is actually registered as a sail-assisted motor yacht, and so cannot be considered to be purely a sailing boat. Despite her size, Black Pearl keeps the elegant and genteel look that is characteristic of sailing vessels, a feature that is often lost when boats get very large and end up looking more like ships than yachts.

This megayacht was custom-built by the Oceanco yard, which since 1987 has specialised in building large, highly-personalised, luxury yachts . This project came about through cooperation between the owner, who is an engineer who was heavily involved at every stage of planning and construction, the owner’s representatives, the exterior designers (Nuvolari Lenard and Ken Freivokh), the interior designers (Nuvolari Lenard, Ken Freivokh and Gerard P. Villate) and the Dykstra Naval Architects studio. And the length is not the only unusual thing about the Black Pearl : she is a super-technological megayacht. One of the aims of the design was to create something that respected the environment as much as possible. During the planning and construction period, this aim was the main parameter for taking decisions, from choosing the sail plan to the development of the hull lines, from fitting the power unit to deciding on furnishings and all the other systems.

Black Pearl is a super technological sailing megayacht, equipped with a cutting-edge DynaRig system, hybrid propulsion and a single-level engine room.

The experience acquired on the Maltese Falcon showed that the extraordinary DynaRig system was the right way to go . The highly-efficient technology uses rotating masts, with yards which have square sails that open horizontally, which unfurl and spread out with the entire sail surface under control. When the sails are lowered, they can’t be seen, they come straight out from the mast and every single sail opens in just seven minutes. There are a full 2877 square metres of sails in total, spread across three identical masts, each of which carries 959 m 2 . 

In the outside area on the main deck, there is a 6.5-metre swimming pool , with a variable-height bottom , so that it can be taken down to 1.5 metres from deck level. Going aft from the swimming pool two flights of stairs provide access to the beach area.

Each carbon-fibre mast is 68.5 metres high and has five sails that , attached at top and bottom to a horizontal yard, create a single sail when put together, which improves the aerodynamics enormously. The sails are operated using an automatic system that means just one person can run all the functions to set or reduce the sail plan and decide the angle of the sails to the wind. Being able to visualise the load on the mast is another characteristic of the Black Pearl ’s rig.

The nearly 2,900 square metres of sails can be set in just seven minutes , merely by pressing a button.

A large number of fibre optic strands are layered into the carbon fibre mast structure to generate data on bending : that is then used to calculate the motive force, the listing force, the bending moment and the twisting of the mast. The figures are constantly monitored by the operator, so when the trim changes, the change in load levels can be seen.

The Black Pearl rig is also set up to carry solar sails, which are currently under development and which could give further electrical energy from sunlight . While most yachts this large have an engine room that goes across two floors, the one on the Black Pearl is restricted to the lower deck, thus leaving more room for the 12 guests and 25 crew members. This set-up has been possible because of the use of a hybrid propulsion system, made up of two shaft lines each including a main MTU diesel engine that develops 1080 kW , combined with a 450 kW electrical propulsion motor (EPM).

The hybrid propulsion system provides the owner with as much flexibility as possible, by offering as many as eight operating modes : silent cruising mode (with the main engines and diesel generators turned off and the battery bank powering the EPM system, this is suitable for low-speed cruising/manoeuvres); quiet cruising mode (for speeds of up to eleven knots, with the main engines turned off, while the EPM is powered by the auxiliary generators); economical cruising mode (the diesel engines power the propellers and the EPM works as a generator, for cruising at 11 to 15 knots); normal cruising mode (for sailing at reasonably high speeds, all the power from the diesel engines is available for propulsion); boost mode (to get to the highest speeds, all the power from both the diesel engines and the EPM is used for propulsion); motor sailing mode (when the sails are in use, this mode can be chosen to assist the power provided by the sails); sailing mode (the propellers are adjusted to reduce resistance and ensure that the boat sails as fast as possible); and regeneration mode (when the yacht is only using sail power, the propellers can be set so that power is generated in the electrical system, using the EPM: that way the yacht doesn’t produce any pollution, and is entirely powered by the wind).

To further reduce overall fuel consumption , additional thermal insulation has been added to reduce heat transfer from the outside, and there is the HVAC system with eco mode to optimise temperatures and the residual heat recovery system.

The hybrid propulsion system gives the owner complete flexibility and the choice of as many as eight operating modes .

The exteriors feature characteristic aspects of Nuvolari Lenard’s work, such as the original shape that combines the longest possible waterline length with a flared bow. The interior designs are currently top secret. From the few drawings that have been made available, it looks as if the whole hi-tech feel we have talked about so far is not, reflected below decks, where it seems as though you are going back in time.

The shape of the ceiling in the main lounge and the colour contrast with the furnishings brings to mind the beauty of sailing boats from the end of the 19 th  and beginning of the 20 th  centuries (for example the interiors of the historic Ilex, Puritan, Oiseau de Feu and Nordwind , in which the spacious and warm living area, with sofas that often buttoned tufted, was in contrast to the white ceiling crossed with exposed beams) at a time when taking to the sea was generally emissions-free, just as it is using the regeneration mode on the Black Pearl . The centre-point of the interior is a multi-level

central atrium, which includes the stairwell and the lift: this space helps give a sensation of vertical integration between the different decks. And rather than having different lounges on the various levels, the designers have decided to have a central living room, which is a full 2.8 metres high. The furniture is essentially taken from a home setting, and the style is mainly Louis XVI, but rather than the characteristic simple, straight lines with a geometrical feel, we find details with the curves that are associated with the earlier Louis XV style and Art Deco, for example, the legs of the chairs and table/desk.

The difference in styles between interiors and exteriors is a bit unnerving , and it would be interesting to see the interiors having a design more in line with the exterior. However, if seen overall, and if you only take the interiors into account, the different influences are well balanced: the showy gilded frames that are typically Louis XIV; the sofas and armchairs that have more contemporary volumes; the references to the classical world, such as the subjects of the pictures that appear to be oil paintings, and the cabinets that form a single horizontal whole with an inlay that is typical of the new interest in classical Louis XVI art, come together pleasantly.

The interiors are the result of careful historical research and the design by Valentina Zannier of Nuvolari Lenard and the French architect and designer Gerard P. Villate, who have worked closely with the owner.
