The joint team of Dykstra Naval Architects, Royal Huisman and Mark Whiteley Design is delighted to announce the newbuild agreement for an exciting 65 m / 212ft performance ketch rigged sailing yacht. We have enjoyed an inspirational period of concept design and development with the experienced owners' team, the interior designer and builder. An important time to get the project ready for the next big step: the start of construction. One of the main areas of focus for this ketch rigged sailing yacht is the performance optimization, to get her all geared up for the superyacht regatta circuit.
CEO Thys Nikkels: "A great team to be working with on this exciting project, we sure can't wait to see her racing The St Barths Bucket!"

81 m SEA EAGLE II won "Best Naval Architecture Sailing Yachts" Award at Boat International's Design and Innovation Awards 2021.
Very proud of this achievement and many thanks and congratulations to the Owner of SEA EAGLE II and the whole project and built team including Royal Huisman and Mark Whiteley Design!
As described by Boat International:
Sea Eagle II
In the most intricately quantitative category, the numbers
determined the two top candidates to be the ones most unalike, one
a race-ready yacht and the other a cruising schooner. Surprisingly
the science behind their designs, their hull and sail plan
efficiencies and performance under power were very similar. While
both are custom designs, Sea Eagle II was the more novel concept
and presented the larger design and innovation, given the owner's
brief and the loads and complexities associated with her size and
1,027-tonne displacement. She is not just a large cruising yacht
with global capability but a beautiful boat that sails well.

A new project designed by Dykstra Naval Architects currently under construction at Turquoise Yachts in Turkey.
Measuring 51-meters, the Classic sloop Project Rainbow II is designed by Dykstra Naval Architects and will feature an interior designed by deVosdeVries design. Her long overhangs and elegant sheer line give her a distinct classic appearance, while the high bulwarks provide a safe and seaworthy feeling on deck. She features a main deckhouse saloon that will provide guests with sweeping views all around. The main cockpit offers a secure place to enjoy the sailing or offer ample space for al-fresco dining. The modern sloop rig results in efficient and good sailing performance, using 21st century technology to ensure easy and safe handling of the sails.
