With applause from April’s launch of 40-meter Antares
still echoing from the rafters, Royal Huisman’s shipwrights returned to their
tools for a pair of new 50-meter-plus projects. Though vastly different, both
yachts are inspired by earlier Huisman launches and both will utilize Alustar
alloy.
 Meteor. (Click image to enlarge)
The first is 51.59-meter Meteor, a
slim, classic gaff schooner inspired by 50-meter Borkumriff IV (2002). Meteor’s classic lines are by Gerard Dijkstra and
John G. Alden Design. Her interior scheme shows John Munford’s Edwardian
inspiration. Guest areas include upper and lower salons and a protected cockpit
between two deckhouses. Meteor is scheduled for a June 2007
delivery.
Ethereal is a larger version of 1993’s
precedent-setting Juliet. Designers Ron Holland and Pieter
Beeldsnijder have reunited for this 57.4-meter contemporary ketch. Built for
world cruising, she will outweigh Meteor by
more than 130 displacement tons and provide significantly more volume.
Ethereal’s accommodation includes three guest
staterooms, a library and large owner’s suite aft. She also offers upper and
lower salons, and a hardtop partially covers her cockpit. A July 2008 delivery
is anticipated.
