A defining moment in the build of Royal Huisman’s Project 412 reveals the true scale of an 81m sailing yacht designed for world cruising.
A superyacht rarely reveals its true presence before the hull meets the light. For Royal Huisman’s Project 412, that moment has now arrived.
At the shipyard’s Vollenhove facility, the team has successfully completed the hull turning of the second unit in the Trident 810 series, marking a pivotal transition from structural construction to the next stages of outfitting and systems integration.
A milestone that defines scale
The hull turning is more than a technical procedure. It is the first time the yacht stands upright, offering a clear view of her proportions, volume and architectural intent.
At 81 metres, Project 412 immediately positions itself as a super-sized sailing yacht, designed for long-range cruising with a strong emphasis on performance and onboard comfort.
Her aluminium hull, defined by a continuous chine running from bow to stern, introduces a sharp, contemporary profile while supporting efficiency under sail.
Built for true sailing
Conceived as a modern flybridge schooner, the yacht is engineered for owners who prioritise the experience of sailing itself.
A state-of-the-art carbon rig by Rondal will power the yacht, combining advanced performance with ease of handling. The setup reflects a careful balance between innovation and practicality, allowing for smooth sail management even at this scale.
A proven platform, reimagined
Project 412 builds on the success of Royal Huisman’s Trident 810 series, leveraging an already engineered platform to streamline the construction timeline without compromising on customisation.
The first yacht in the series was delivered in 2020. This second iteration benefits from that foundation, offering owners a rare combination: shorter lead times alongside the opportunity to create a fully bespoke superyacht.
Delivery is expected within approximately three years, a notable timeframe for a vessel of this complexity.
Craftsmanship in motion
“The hull turning is always a proud moment, because you see the result of thousands of hours of craftsmanship in its full presence,” notes CEO Peter Naeyé.
With the bow section nearing completion and set to be joined to the main hull shortly, Project 412 now moves into the phases that will ultimately define the onboard experience.
From systems integration to interior outfitting, the yacht begins its transformation from structure to living environment.
Project 412 is no longer an idea taking shape behind closed doors. Now upright, it stands as a clear statement of intent, a yacht designed not just to sail, but to redefine what sailing at this scale can feel like.
