Royal record breaker

Dutch custom superyacht builder Royal Huisman enters record territory again with Noir, an 81-metre sailing yacht with the world’s tallest sloop rig.

Project 411, named Noir, has been conceived by a skilled owner and his team for world cruising and exploration.

The sloop rig on this Malcolm McKeon design will be 93 metres high. The yacht’s profile will feature McKeon’s contemporary styling with a reverse bow for maximum waterline length and a flying bridge for outdoor living space underway.

Noir is specifically sized to carry a 14-metre tender to allow coastal exploration and to transport guests and provisions without repositioning the yacht closer to a harbour.
