Unveiling the Sky: Royal Huisman Brings to Life the World's Tallest Sloop Featuring Unrivalled Engineering Expertise

Royal Huisman, the Dutch superyacht-building hotshot, has set sail on an awe-inspiring project: constructing the 81-meter ‘Sky’, set to be the world’s tallest sloop. This project revolves around a pioneering carbon rig, courtesy of Rondal. Its mammoth 93-meter mast rivals the Statue of Liberty in grandeur, matching its height from ground to torch.

With the engineering phase largely complete, the yachting community is buzzing with anticipation for Sky’s delivery in 2030. Masterminded by Malcolm McKeon Yacht Design and Winch Design who planned the naval architecture, exterior, and interior, Sky is a testament to practical design innovation and operational safety.

The Sky hasn’t just been conceived with dimensions in mind. The project features impressive highlights such as a long waterline, full aluminium construction, and improved weight distribution. A potent Rondal rig, an integrated sailing system, and dual carbon composite rudders will offer manoeuvrability rivalling smaller performance yachts.

A unique opportunity unfolds for an owner to customize Sky’s layout and styling, whilst enjoying the perks of an advanced pre-engineered platform. With an external design contributing to the pleasure of pure sailing and an interior space filled with natural light serving various onboard activities, Sky indeed sets the standard for the next generation of sailing yachts.
