As the world ’s largest aluminium sailing yacht, the

world ’s largest Asian-owned yacht and the biggest

Royal Huisman project to date, Project RH400 is set

to smash three records upon delivery in 2020. The

Dutch yard recently gave the world a first glimpse

of this 81 metre schooner when the mammoth hull

was rolled out of the specially extended build hall

in Vollenhove and flipped over with the help of four

enormous cranes. “It may look like a contemporary

modern sailing yacht now but in 50 years’ time it

will be a classic,” predicts Dykstra Naval Architects,

which collaborated with Mark Whiteley Design on

this stunning super-sailer. Watch a timelapse video
