Royal Huisman announced that the shipyard will build the world's largest sloop – the 85m Project 410. A very experienced owner made a challenging brief. Frers Design and Wetzels Brown teamed up to present the concept that was selected by the owner. Mani Frers created an innovative sloop with a revolutionary combination of naval architecture, clever use of space and structures and stunning exterior design, while interiors were made by Gill Brown. After an intense year of development, the designs are finalized and the exciting preparations for the construction process begin.
Project 410 will be a true sailor’s yacht, ready to sail in a matter of minutes and capable of sailing very fast, in comfort, to make the most of that long waterline – better equipped to explore the world, and also will be an eco-friendly project. The sustainability objective will be met in a variety of ways. The innovative technology on Royal Huisman Project 410 qualifies for the new Lloyd’s “Hybrid Power” certificate as the yacht will be capable of regenerating energy during sailing. A huge 2-megawatt battery bank facilitates silent and fumeless propulsion and ensures ultimate comfort with maximum redundancy and sustainability.
“It is an extraordinary honor to be entrusted with a project of such scale, ambition, and technical sophistication. This unique Project 410 perfectly reflects ‘who we are and what we do’ at Royal Huisman. A true performance superyacht with supersized dimensions, and full of technical innovations. This project is already iconic in every aspect and will be built by the finest craftsmen in the world in full collaboration with her talented designers. We're all going to enjoy the realisation of bespoke excellence embraced with ’New World’ technology,” says Peter Naeyé, Royal Huisman CCO.
At 85m she will also be the world’s largest sloop. The massive carbon mast, boom and integrated sailing system will be designed and produced by Royal Huisman’s sister company, Rondal. Project 410 will be constructed in aluminum at Royal Huisman’s newbuild facilities in Vollenhove.
Royal Huisman is a Dutch shipyard established in 1884 in Ronduite, building and refitting custom luxury sailing and motor yachts at its shipyard in Vollenhove, the Netherlands.
