Twizzle We are delighted to be working with Royal Huisman Shipyard on the new 57 metre ketch - Twizzle. Many observers believe that this is the first Dubois design to be built at Royal Huisman but in fact it is the second - the first was a 41 foot racing yacht designed by Ed in 1978! In the case of the new Twizzle, the layout and superstructure design is, uniquely, not the responsibility of the Dubois office but instead was developed by Redman Whiteley Dixon. Happily, the close relationship that we have with RWD allowed us to develop the naval architecture around that overall concept and leant heavily on the experience we gained with the 53.5 metre Nirvana - just launched in late 2007. A centreboard yacht, Twizzle has a single engine but relatively shallow draft and good stability from generous beam and displacement. A large sail area will ensure this yacht's good performance and we see this concept and the project as a whole as being one of the most exciting sail boats in construction today. |
