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.
In the world of luxury sea-faring vessels, the name Mangusta commands attention and respect. As the gavel readies itself for the thrilling echo of a grand auction in October, attention is fixed on an Italian beauty, the ‘Mine Set’. This 28.7-metre Mangusta 94 superyacht, an exquisite creation of the Overmarine Group, stands poised and graceful, waiting to unveil its next adventure.
Encapsulating the sporty silhouette and elegance emblematic of the Mangusta lineage, the ‘Mine Set’ is as much a joy to behold as it is to navigate. The yacht’s sleek design, carried out entirely in-house, is harmoniously balanced with exceptional outdoor and indoor amenities for entertaining, relaxing, and indulging in the joys of sea-travelling lifestyle.
