The 44m / 143ft Royal Huisman cruising ketch was launched in 1993 and is a fine example of pioneering, custom-built technologies in late 20th century yacht building. With nearly a quarter million of ocean miles under her keel, she still looks and sails like a dream. Technologies have, of course, evolved rapidly. Hybrid propulsion and power generation systems are delivering exceptional lifestyle and environmental benefits.
As an example of its practical application, this hybrid system offers the potential of navigation in ‘zero emission’ zones. Recognising that they, too, can enjoy these enhancements to their cruising lifestyle, the owners have booked a hybrid conversion for Juliet at Huisfit.
