Royal Huisman

Sailboat : classic sailing-yacht (schooner)
ATHENA Royal Huisman

- 90m 295' 3"ft Athena represents four years of spirited teamwork, combining the unique talents of Pieter Beeldsnijder for exterior and interior design with the flawless naval architectural skills of Gerard Dijkstra & Partners. With these two talented legends and the shipyards' own group of dedicated craftspeople the perfect shipbuilders 'dream team' was created and Athena will undoubtedly become part of yachting history.

For the interior Beeldsnijder selected a lightly stained Mahogany to enrich an air of classic comfort. Appreciating that Athena's sheer size could literally overwhelm, Beeldsnijder cleverly divided accommodations and living areas into human size proportions thus creating a feeling of welcome and old world charm. Designing a reappearing scalloped corner detail Beeldsnijder fine tuned these areas as he worked closely with Californian Rebecca Bradley responsible for selecting soft furnishings and fabrics.
On deck Athena's custom array of Rondal deck hardware is set against an expanse of varnished teak cabin tops and seating areas. Again Beeldsnijder elected to provide intimate proportion to these otherwise expansive areas whilst maintaining a high regard for Dijkstra's requirements for sail plan, deck layout and classically inspired design influences.
