The prestigious shipyard based in The Netherlands – Royal Huisman – is very proud to announce a very important project, the 46m (151ft) sailing yacht – Royal Huisman Classic Pilot Ketch, created in collaboration with the renowned Dutch naval architect Andre Hoek. The new 46m sailing yacht hull 392 is one of the two projects the yard is currently working on. Both Royal Huisman projects, the 46m superyacht hull 392 and the 48m sailing yacht hull 393 feature stunning exterior styling and naval architecture by Andre Hoek and the structural design created by the yard in collaboration with Hoek.

Yard number 392 – 46m/151ft (52m/171ft LOA) Classic Pilot Ketch by Royal Huisman
This plumb-bowed Classic Pilot Ketch 392 by Royal Huisman and Andre Hoek has been highly optimised for performance. Her long waterline, lifting keel with trim tab and carbon spade rudder are complemented by a powerful, fully-roached sail plan supported by a complete carbon fibre rig package. Intensive CFD tank and wind tunnel testing is already underway as Hoek Design seeks to leverage its extensive knowledge of such projects to fully realise speed and handling potential.
Fine exterior lines and proven sea-keeping characteristics will combine with luxurious and spacious accommodation to create an exceptional yacht with the ability to go anywhere in comfort, style and security. Serious attention will also be given to achieving high levels of energy-efficiency in developing her systems, with an equal commitment to maintaining a design aesthetic that faithfully acknowledges this 46m superyacht’s sailing forebears. A unique interior design will be crafted by the equally renowned Redman Whiteley Dixon design team. Material selection will be based not only upon design aesthetics but upon the inherent potential as a renewable resource.
With this 46m project 392 by Royal Huisman in its design infancy, the yard looks forward to presenting future updates through to her 2014 delivery. The owners’ project management will be undertaken by Prior Yacht Management, with the Monaco office of YCO overseeing contractual and operational matters.
