Royal Huisman Unveils Wing 100 Megayacht

(22/09/22) Royal Huisman, Dykstra Naval Architects and Mark Whiteley Design have unveiled the Wing 100, a concept the companies say redefines supersized sailing yachts by delivering an entirely new megayacht category.

The aluminum-hulled Wing 100 is a true sailing yacht – not a heavy sail assisted motor yacht. She has been conceived not only to appeal to sailing yacht owners, but to provide the perfect cross-over for motor yacht owners who want to minimize their environmental footprint by reducing the weight of their yacht, but retain the highest standards of amenity and comfort.

With a highly advanced rig by Rondal, the wing masts have airfoil profiles; are free standing, and rotate to provide very powerful, integrated airfoils with the sails, and because of its shape, the airfoil can easily and remotely be adjusted to maximize or reduce power.

Being free-standing, the wing masts have no standing rigging or associated deck clutter, maximizing safe, clean amenity space on deck. The wing masts are also remote-controlled to ensure fast, energy-efficient sailing, as well as a comfortable experience for all onboard.

“The emergence of sailing yachts on this scale, with the level of energy efficiency and eco-responsibility offered by Wing 100, would have been unthinkable just a decade ago,” said Royal Huisman CEO, Jan Timmerman. “The team is incredibly excited to be at the forefront of this conceptual revolution. We look forward to applying our renowned innovation and engineering skills to the realization of this highly ambitious project – creating the fourth and largest Royal Huisman build yet in the global top 10 of supersized sailing yachts.”

The range of new technologies applied by the Royal Huisman shipyard to maximize the energy efficiency of Wing 100 will bring substantial advantages to the owner – and not just while exploring the outer corners of our vulnerable planet.

To learn more, Royal Huisman will be at the Monaco Yacht Show 2022 from 28 September - 1 October.
