A central dining area and saloon are situated amidships above the engine room with the main galley on a mezzanine deck and the pilothouse on a raised deck. Together with Emily Todhunter they have defined an interior with owners’ and guests’ accommodation abaft the engine room and crew forward. Justin Redman and his group have shaped a graceful flying bridge that combines a stylish profile with airiness and light below. The rig, with its 62m mainmast set to clear Panama’s Bridge of the Americas at low water, will carry 1,780 m2 of sail. Lightweight composite materials are widely used in the rig and in components above the waterline whilst optimized beam and 120 tons of internal ballast secure stiffness and stability. To this end Dubois have reduced wetted surface and set a swing keel within the 3.8m draft fixed keel. The vision is to create a high-performance sailing yacht with the comfort and amenity of a motor yacht.

Twizzle is a stimulating project because the owners are central to this talented team, bringing their own ideas (particularly in technology and design) and significant experience (yachts they have owned include a 47m Perini Navi and a 55m Feadship) to the process, adding challenge and momentum. Naval architecture by Ed Dubois Associates represents another long-anticipated first for the yard and this is Royal Huisman’s first flybridge sailing yacht.

It is the yard’s first yacht completely styled, inside and out, by the talented team of Redman, Whiteley Dixon – with interior décor from Todhunter Earle Associates. This elegant, 57.5m flybridge ketch is an exciting project for Royal Huisman. Twizzle was launched by Dutch yard Royal Huisman in 2011 and pushed the limits of what was considered possible for a sailing yacht, blending a focus on technology with beautiful design. Royal Huisman Yachts have confirmed that this 57.50-meter sailing yacht will be launched in March 2010. Once there she will operate out of Antigua exploring most of the Caribbean.Royal Huisman starts construction on 57.50-meter 'Twizzle' According to her own website, she is set to cross the Atlantic in late October bound for the Caribbean. Now that Twizzle has been completed and is sailing, she has visited destinations in Europe. Yard number 386 ( Twizzle) can sail at a speed around 17 knots and cruise under engine power at 12 knots with a range in the region of 4,000 nautical miles. Twizzle carries a massive 1,780 square meters of sail. Keel down, she draws in the region of 10.80-meters of water while keel up she sits a mere 3.80-meters when compared. She is 11.59-meters wide and carries a variable draft. Twizzle has been built fully from aluminum and has a displacement near 550 tonnes.

She also is the first fly-bridge sailing yacht for the design firm. More photos and images of the yacht at launch are pending.

The new flybridge ketch by Royal Huisman is a ground breaking design from a technical and technology standpoint. Sailing yacht Twizzle name ‘Twizzle’ came from a TV puppet from the 1950’s and she is the result of the Owners’ vision of a high performance, high tech sailing yacht with the genuine long range cruising capability as mixed with the comfort and luxury of a large motor yacht. That is because the owner of this yacht built a Feadship with the same name in the past. The name Twizzle may sound familiar and probably it does. She has been built with Naval Architecture by Dubois Naval Architects with exterior styling interior by UK firm Redman Whiteley Dixon and interior styling and decoration by Tod Hunter Earle Associates. Since then she has been completed and formally delivered to her owner(s).
