What’s the buzz?As well as being the
largest single-masted wooden yacht
to be built since Shamrock Vin the
1930s, when she is launched in 2019
the 33.9m Spirit 111 will also be
eco-friendly. Thanks to four 30.3kW
lithium battery banks and energy-saving technology, the owner will be
able to spend extended periods of time on board using minimal fuel.
In the sheds: RH400
What’s the buzz?Set to
be the new flagship of the
Royal Huisman fleet when
delivered in 2020, this
contemporary 81m
three-masted schooner
will be the yard’s largest
build to date and the world’s
largest aluminium yacht.
Among this custom
masterpiece’s countless
innovations, the flashiest
has to be the hydraulically
operated crow’s nest,
offering a ride up the main
mast for epic views.
