February 2013 Sailing Yacht of the Month: Royal Huisman’s Unfurled

Thirteen years after delivery, the 112-foot (34.17-meter) Unfurled still cuts a striking profile out on the horizon, and especially on the racing circuit. Built by Royal Huisman, Unfurled was commissioned by a yacht owner who had quite specific ideas on design and performance. He wanted simple lines yet ones that weren’t simplistic, and a hull engineered for racing. It worked: Her naval architect, German Frers, predicted she’d be victorious in many a race, and she has; plus Royal Huisman credits the owner with pushing it to a higher level of custom construction.

Here, see why Unfurled is considered such a good competitor on the superyacht sailing circuit.
