Royal Huisman to build a 47M classic ketch
June 07, 2008: Royal Huisman Yachts: "Royal Huisman to build 47m Classic Ketch." The elegant lines are drawn by Gerard Dykstra and Partners, whose expertise in performance-orientated classic yachts is arguably second to none.
They have married sympathetic period features such as gentle sheer, open deck space, neatly-proportioned deck houses and skylights, above the waterline, with a modern, easily driven hull shape below. The canoe under body sports a fully ballasted lifting keel, carbon spade rudder and low wetted-surface areas.
With her Alustar hull and tall carbon spars, this will be a lightweight yacht whose sea keeping and performance will be complemented by style, comfort and amenity below. Rhoades Young Design will draw upon classic references and traditional craftsmanship for a mellow and invitingly luxurious interior.
Hot off the drawing board, we look forward to bringing further details to light on this very exciting, very special new yacht.
