Royal Huisman revealed some renderings of the new 58m sloop that they signed a couple months ago. Her project name will be Beast I believe and she is quite a good looking vessel. News & Media - News
Project 'Beast' now known as the "Ngoni" is progressing well at Royal Huisman. Expected to be launched in the Spring of 2017 we can start to see the 58-meter sailing yacht really coming together in these yard images and compare her to the render. The owner apparently has a thrill for speed and that might hint at the project name.
The largest aluminium sailing yacht in the world at 81-meters, which is under construction at RH, recently got the hull turned. This is a monumental project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=19&v=051hGorbBaE
Sailing yacht "Athos" was recently redelivered after having works done including a minimal stern extension. She was worked on at Huisfit. Athos’ stern has been extended by 1.25-meter/4-feet, a seemingly modest extension. Yet the concave and convex curves of the new section called for exceptional skills in the design and build of the aluminum structure in order to fit perfectly into the aluminum hull. The extension, with a relocated pushpit, provides a new two-meter area for sunbeds behind the owners’ private cockpit. Interior works were completed including replanking and changing of soft furnishings. Along with the other three guest cabins, the floor has been carpeted and the fielded panels have been upholstered.
Royal Huisman has unveiled "AERA", a 50-metre catamaran concept developed in collaboration with Rondal, Cor D. Rover Design and Artemis Technologies. The yard describes it as a platform “fit for tomorrow”, built to test wing sail and hybrid power technologies for yachts under 500 GT. The concept centers on a 35-meter unstayed wing sail developed by Rondal and Artemis Technologies. Measuring 245 m², it can rotate 360 degrees and depower fully while upright. Rondal, Royal Huisman’s in-house composites and rigging specialist, led the development of the wing’s carbon structure and control system. Like the Dynarigs on "Maltese Falcon" and "Black Pearl", and the furling rigs on Sailing Yacht "A", it is designed to operate without shrouds or stays.
