MAKING WAVES
Holland Jachtbouw to Build
a Classic-Style Schooner
Holland Jachtbouw has signed a contract to build a 167-foot (51-meter) schooner.
The yacht will be traditionally styled—modeled after Rainbow II (later named
Hamburg), built in 1897—but built to modern DNV GL certification under the
guidance of Dykstra Naval Architects. The aluminum hull is being built at Shipyard
Made in Moerdijk and will arrive at Holland Jachtbouw in early 2015. Ventis will
make the rig in Enkhuizen, including all spars and topmasts, with a main mast
height of 171 feet (52 meters) supporting an 82-foot (25-meter) boom. She will
displace 343 tons and will be fitted with a hybrid drive to facilitate silent running
at night or powering all systems under sail. She will accommodate eight guests
and seven crew and will have a classic interior from deVosdeVries. Launch is
scheduled for spring 2016.

ROYAL
HUISMAN HAS
190-FOOTER
ON TAP
Dubois Naval Architects and Royal
Huisman have a high-performance
190-foot (58-meter) sloop in the
works. According to the builder,
she’ll feature an edgy sheerline
and sculpted bow, working to
bolster her overall strength and
seaworthiness. Adding to her progressive
profile will be a molded
glass superstructure and a sleek
stern design. A high-aspect sailplan
and large square-top mainsail will
provide the horsepower. Mast and
deck hatches are by Rondal. With
a layout drawn by Francis Sultana,
accommodations will include an
apartment-style master suite with
a gym, sauna and library, plus two
guest staterooms and a large main
deck salon with attached outdoor
seating. Keel laying is scheduled
for January 2015 and delivery is
scheduled for spring 2017.
