Following the 2009 delivery of the magnificent 58m/190 ketch Ethereal,
and the delivery of the modern recreation of the super-J Endeavour II, Hanuman the Royal Huisman construction halls are now focused on two highly distinctive individual projects:
Twizzle, the striking 57.5m/188.6 fly-bridge ketch with towering Panamax main mast, naval architecture and sail plan by Ed Dubois Associates; exterior and interior styling by Redman Whitely Dixon; and interior dιcor styled by Todhunter Earle.
Spirit of Tradition Ketch: (SoT) a classic, yet performance-oriented, 49m/161 ketch, also with interior by Rhoades Young, working with Dykstra & Partners for Naval Architecture;
In addition, there is another major project in the pre-production planning stage at Vollenhove: Bugamena: an elegant 36.6m/120 Classic Cutter rigged Sloop cruising yacht, once again bringing together the capabilities of Dykstra & Partners with Rhoades Young.
In 2009 Royal Huisman completed major refits on the Huisman built 43m/141 Ron Holland / Pieter Beeldsnijder designed ketch Juliet, (1993) and the 40.7m/133 Ted Hood designed ketch William Tai (1997) both in preparation for some more globetrotting adventure. The 42m/143 Cyclos III (1990) returned in December 2009 after some 400,000 miles of ocean voyaging to justify a well earned cosmetic facelift and update on her extensively tested systems.
