Revolutionizing Yacht Design with Project 410, the Royal Huisman Sloop

Royal Huisman introduces Project 410, an 85-meter (280-foot) vessel that is described as the world’s largest sloop. This extraordinary vessel is in the final stages of construction at Royal Huisman’s Vollenhove shipyard in the Netherlands.

To see how design brilliance can transform urban landscapes, Snøhetta’s ecological and cultural hub in Seoul offers inspiring insights into architectural innovation.

The Vision of Frers Design and Wetzels Brown

After a period of secrecy, the company has shared stunning new renders of Project 410, featuring exterior and naval architecture by Frers Design and interior aesthetics by Wetzels Brown. The yacht is conceived as a ‘sailor’s yacht,’ deftly balancing luxurious accommodation with a dynamically efficient hull.

Design and Engineering Brilliance of the Royal Huisman Sloop

The vessel’s layout includes two decks and a sleek pilothouse behind its mast crafted by Rondal, a Royal Huisman sister company specializing in carbon fiber and aluminum rigging. Mani Frers of Frers Design describes the sleek lines from bow to stern and the striking character of the raked mast and unique boom system of the sailing yacht.

Spacious and Innovative Interiors

Large windows, skylights, and high ceilings complement the main deck, providing an expansive feel and stunning views of the sea and sails above. The vessel boasts a double-height main entrance, a spacious salon, and a veranda leading to a beach club. The private owner’s suite is positioned towards the bow, and substantial battery capacity allows for silent operation mode when needed.

For those fascinated by luxury on the water, BRABUS and Sunreef’s high-powered ULTIMA 55 catamaran pushes the boundaries of maritime engineering.
