SCHOONERS ON PARALLEL TRACKS FOR THEIR HUISFITS

7 August 2018

Two of the world’s largest sailing yachts, Eos and Athena, have booked the same timing for their coming refit projects.

The 93m / 305ft three-masted Lürssen schooner Eos, until recently the world’s largest sailing yacht, has for some time been a regular customer for Royal Huisman’s superyacht refit division, Huisfit. The Eos team has just signed a new contract with Huisfit, taking full advantage of the flexible choice of deep water location offered to meet their needs and schedule.

At the same time, the Huisfit team is delighted to announce that the 90m / 295ft three masted schooner Athena, built by Royal Huisman in 2004 and with a seriously impressive log book of globe-circling adventures, has booked the same timing for her latest refit programme. In 2014 the Huisfit team also took care of various aesthetic and technical updates by sending its own ’flying squad’ of specialist personnel out to Athena during a stopover in the Mediterranean.

Athena arrived today and Eos is expected late this summer. Both yachts will be at a deep seawater location in Holland for several months during the winter “refit season”.
