Royal Huisman’s WISP
A traditionally styled yacht that sails like a witch.



“I TOLD LUCA TO WEIGH EVERYTHING THAT COMES ON BOARD the yacht,” said owner Owen-Jones referencing designer Luca Bassani. “We used titanium screws to hold it all together and I even offered a bonus to the shipyard workers for every pound of weight they could save during the construction process. The boat has a displacement of 50 tons. If you take out the keel and the mast, that figure drops to 18 tons, but if you want me to tell you the weight of the keel I will have to kill you as soon as I have done so, because that’s my big secret.”
