Sea Eagle II: The inside story of the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht

Yachting World

  • June 17, 2020

Rupert Holmes talks to the build and design teams behind the 81m Royal Huisman flagship Sea Eagle II, which recently completed her sea trials off the coast of the Netherlands

Royal Huisman has an enviable track record of producing superlative sailing superyachts , with hundreds of projects completed to date. Yet the latest vessel to leave the shipyard is extraordinary even by these standards. She is the world’s largest aluminium yacht and is one of the top ten biggest sailing yachts ever built. 

Sea Eagle II is a magnificent 81m/266ft three-masted Panamax schooner, created by the same Dykstra and Mark Whiteley Design collaboration that produced the stunning 56m/186ft Royal Huisman ketch Aquarius just over a year ago. 

Her very experienced owner has sailed all his life and spent a lot of time at sea. “ Sailing around the world in the weekends is a phrase often used to outline his days on board,” says Royal Huisman project manager Arjo Spans. He is also a repeat client – the original Sea Eagle is a 43m/143ft Frers/Rhoades Young design launched by the Dutch yard in 2015.

Initially the brief for the new boat was for a more classical yacht, similar to the 79m/259ft three-masted gaff schooner Athena , which Royal Huisman built for Silicon Valley mogul Jim Clark in 2004. However, the owner quickly realised he would prefer a more modern yacht: a fast-looking hull shape with straight lines, long waterline and plumb bow. The concept of Sea Eagle II was born. 

“Having worked with him to build the original Sea Eagle , we understood the owner’s priorities from the start,” says Spans. “These are: low maintenance, functionality, and safety, including ease of moving around the yacht, even when heeled at sea.

“For each of the key aspects of the boat he asked for three proposals, he would then choose one of them and leave us to implement it,” Spans adds. “He put a huge amount of trust in the shipyard and in our craftsmanship.”

Sailing around Cape Horn on the world’s largest ketch Aquijo

Royal Huisman reveals 116ft ‘floating resort’ catamaran superyacht concept

“This is not a change in direction; it is an expansion of possibilities,” says Jan Timmerman, CEO of the 136-year-old…

The scale of this yacht is nothing short of astounding. The sleek hull lines belie the 4m/13ft freeboard and the two-tier deckhouse, including a half-raised bridge, looks entirely in proportion. The main deck-level accommodation has a huge expanse of glass, with the 360º view interrupted only by minimal mullions. There are also acres of cockpit space, with room left over for a long sweep of uncluttered aft deck.

Mark Whiteley was responsible for developing the interior and refining the exterior styling. He created a simple and modern style for the interior, with straight lines. Lacquered Alpi walnut wall panels, brushed natural oak floors and dark stained wenge trims are complemented by light colour leather handrails and upholstered wall panels.

Part of the brief was for the yacht to be able to host business meetings – the forward part of the superstructure therefore includes a large saloon with expansive seating, plus a 16-seat table for formal dining.

A technical challenge 

Dykstra Naval Architects drew a narrow and efficient hull shape with a maximum beam of only 12.4m/40ft, while displacement has been kept down to a relatively light 1,050 tonnes at full load. The final shape was achieved following extensive computational flow dynamics (CFD) calculations, velocity prediction programming (VPP), and testing in both tow tanks and wind tunnels. These all helped to determine sail balance, keel position and predicted rudder angles.

The plumb bow is balanced by a modest, but graceful, stern overhang, with a contemporary, relatively wide transom at deck level. Twin knuckle lines extend aft from near the bow, merging into one amidships and then forming a chine aft. Right aft the hull has negative curvature on the flare below the chine, which gives interesting reflections in the gleaming paintwork.

The lead naval architect, Dykstra’s Erik Wassen, told me he introduced the knuckle lines to give the hull “a bolder and more interesting shape.” The owner liked the concept and Mark Whiteley helped to refine the detail. Wassen describes the underwater shape as being: “a very modern round bilge shape, with a nice slender hull that gives good sailing capabilities.” Appendages are a conventional fin keel and balanced rudder.

The latter presented an interesting technical challenge, according to Wassen. Initially they looked at fabricating the rudder stock in steel, but that alone would weigh three tonnes. Screening a number of alternatives led to a decision to use carbon for the stock, with a foam core section clad in a relatively thin composite skin for the blade. 

The result is what it’s producer, Royal Huisman’s sister company Rondal, believes to be the biggest ever carbon rudder, weighing only 1,250kg, which helps to keep weight out of the ends of the boat. The weight saving here also enabled the intended fore and aft trim to be achieved with the ballast in its optimal location.

The rudder includes load sensors to record and verify torque, side forces and bending moment while sailing. “There is not much load data available for rudders of this size of sailing yacht, so it’s very conservatively engineered,” says Spans. Fibre-optic sensors are incorporated to enable a database to be created that will help with designing future composite rudders for very large yachts.

Due to the distance of the helm stations from the rudder, the steering is via an electric-hydraulic system, which means there’s no feedback from the helm. The plan is to investigate whether data from the sensors can be used in a feedback system to give a more natural feel to steering the boat under sail. 

Structural engineering

This is one of the most interesting elements of yacht design, yet is all too often under appreciated. Extensive modelling showed a couple of unexpected problems that needed clever solutions during Sea Eagle II ’s design and engineering. 

Instead of the hull flexing smoothly under load, like an I-beam, the presence of a forward intermediate deck introduced hard spots in this area, resulting in stress concentrations at the forward end of the superstructure. This required a lot of design work to create a smooth transition of stress from the lower deck to the intermediate one and then on to the upper deck.

worlds-largest-aluminium-sailing-yacht-81m-royal-huisman-sea-eagle-II-cad

Structural engineering was extensively modelled for Sea Eagle II

The roof of the superstructure also posed a challenge, in that the inside surface of a beam needs to become shorter as it flexes. But the original plan for the aluminium roof wasn’t able to accommodate this, with the result the modelling showed stresses concentrating in the corners of the mullions and in the glass itself. 

The solution was to avoid welding the top of the mullions to the roof, opting instead for a flexible joint that allows for movement when necessary. Wassen likens it to the joints in large buildings that need to be included to allow for thermal expansion and contraction.

Whiteley also helped to refine the exterior styling. In addition to the detail of the knuckles, his input helped to refine the shapes – particularly curves and softening corners – in the superstructure.

Panamax rig

The requirement to be able to clear the Bridge of the Americas at the Pacific end of the Panama canal called for the schooner rig with three equal masts. All are of carbon and are made by Rondal, with integrated sail handling systems and Carbo-Link carbon standing rigging.

Each mast has in-boom furling, while the aft two have staysails for use when reaching. The tank and wind tunnel testing was used to verify different headsail options, particularly to determine the differences between a large blade jib versus a large staysail or yankee.

“Obviously you have better windward performance with a large blade,” says Wassen, “but as soon as you bear away the yankee is much more forgiving in trimming, so we decided that made more sense.” A further advantage is that when the yankee is part furled the sheeting point remains the same.

In addition, a blade jib requires much higher sheet loads to maintain leech tension. Even though Sea Eagle II is a three-masted yacht, the yankee sheet loads are still predicted to reach 18 tonnes – but this still allows standard-size captive winches to be used, rather than larger custom-made units.

The Panamax limitation obviously poses the question as to whether sail area needed to be compromised to fulfil this criteria. However, this is clearly not the case for Sea Eagle II . Hull speed is close to 20 knots and the yacht is clearly capable of surfing at much higher speeds, despite being designed as a pure cruiser. This role, of course, suggests keeping heel angles to a maximum of 10-15°. 

Nevertheless, the VPP figures suggest potential boat speeds of 17-18 knots in 16 knots of true breeze with a true wind angle of 70°. “As soon as you can ease the sheets a little bit, we have a lot of sail area,” says Wassen, “so on a beam reach, I wouldn’t be surprised if a steady 20 knots is possible.”

Sea-Eagle-II-Royal-Huisman

Royal Huisman reveals new details of 81m flagship sailing yacht Sea Eagle

Dutch shipyard Royal Huisman has revealed new details and never-before-seen images of the world's second-largest aluminium sailing yacht  Sea Eagle , three years after her delivery.

The 81-metre three-masted schooner left the shipyard in 2020 in the shadow of the pandemic and joined the ranks as the seventh-largest sailing yacht in the world. Since then, she has been on a non-stop circumnavigation and has more than 45,000 nautical miles under her keel. From the Caribbean to the Galapagos and on to the South Pacific Islands, she has proven her mettle as a true adventurer, but the finer details of her design and build have remained a well-guarded secret up until now.

The record-breaking vessel was commissioned by a visionary owner looking to upgrade from his existing 43-metre by the same name, also built by Royal Huisman. A power pairing of Dykstra Naval Architects and Mark Whiteley Design saw the two studios work together to bring his vision to life: it was to be a "true sailor's yacht" and world traveller favouring function over frills, with powerful performance that could be easily managed.

After a four-year build, Sea Eagle emerged from the shed in Vollenhove almost twice the length and five times the volume of her predecessor and was, at the time, the largest project undertaken by the shipyard. Her Flag Blue hull, Chevy White superstructure, trio of masts and sheer size make her unmistakable.

A powerful Panamax rig comprises three carbon masts, each growing a little taller from bow to stern, with a maximum air draft of 61 metres allowing her to clear the Bridge of the Americas when crossing from the Caribbean to the Pacific. The main mast features a crow’s nest operated by the touch of a button that whisks guests up to the top for a true bird's eye view at anchor.

She canters along at 21.5 knots in moderate breeze thanks to her powerful rig flying 2,580 square metres upwind and 3,552 square metres downwind. All three mainsails can easily be hoisted simultaneously thanks to powerful hydraulics – taking no more time than required for a sloop half the size – and lowered with the help of carbon fibre roller furling booms. 

She is fitted with a serious kit on deck too that includes 34 winches, the largest of which – for the yankee, staysail sheets and mizzen sheet - have a pulling load of 18,000 kilograms. Below the waterline, a fin keel minimises wetted surface to enhance speed and heeling, while a five-metre-tall carbon composite rudder is the largest ever produced. Her masts, booms, rigging, and winches were manufactured by Royal Huisman's specialist rigging company Rondal.

A plumb bow, near-full-length waterline and beamy transom work twofold to give her a modern profile as well as better sail-keeping capabilities for long passages at sea. “It may look like a contemporary modern sailing yacht now but in 50 years' time it will be a classic,” said a representative of  Dykstra Naval Architects .

“The essence of the yacht’s appeal is illustrated by long, uninterrupted lines of glass, a subtle sweep of superstructure and a blister to enclose the bridge," explained Mark Whiteley. "As the design developed we honed in on a faceted feature which helps give Sea Eagle her distinctive modern signature, lightens the overhangs and reflects the chine. The overall effect gives the superstructure ‘a curved tension’ that draws the eye from bow to stern. The proportions and low profile were driven by the owner’s request to have a continuous floor from the exterior dining space, right through the large main saloon to the forward dining saloon, with no steps.”

Sliding glass panels separate the deck saloon from the exterior deck without a threshold to step over, which can be opened to create a continuous space with a U-shaped bar at the centre that straddles both inside and out. Steps on either side of the saloon lead up to the flybridge, which acts as the main social hub on board where guests can enjoy 360-degree views and observe sailing operations. A secondary lounge and formal dining area is found forward between the main and mizzen mast on the main deck, with seating for up to 16 guests and wraparound windows.

Accommodation is confined to the lower deck with six cabins hosting up to 12 guests, while accommodations for 14 crew are accessed via a concealed entrance at the foremast near the tender bay, which houses an eight-metre tender. A first glimpse inside shows a bright and pared-back interior with a neutral colour palette, Alpi Walnut bulkheads and very few extravagances.

Access to the deck and interior from the water is supplied through foldout boarding platforms on both port and starboard sides, while the stern platform provides access to the sea for guests wishing to make use of the toys or go for a swim. 

"Supersized sailing yachts like this are no longer an impossible dream," said Royal Huisman’s CEO Jan Timmerman. “Continual innovation, accumulated expertise and rigorous self-challenge have come together through our highly skilled and dedicated team to produce Athena , Sea Eagle and, currently in-build, the world’s largest sloop Project 410 ."

The 85-metre Project 410 is one of three superyachts currently under construction at Royal Huisman, including the 65-metre Project 408, also known as Aquarius II , and the world's largest sportfish built under the codename Project 406 .

  • 8 minute read

Sea Eagle SE9 Inflatable Boat Review

Looking for a quality inflatable boat? The Sea Eagle SE9 might be just what you’re looking for. This boat is designed to accommodate up to four people, and it’s made with durable materials that can withstand even the harshest conditions. In this Sea Eagle 9 review, we’ll take a look at the pros and cons of this popular inflatable boat.

Eagle SE9 Specs

  • Length: 11 feet
  • Hull Weight 35 pounds (16 kg)
  • Weight 51 pounds (23 kg) with inflatable floor & motor mount
  • Width: 56 inches
  • Weight Capacity: 1,200 pounds
  • Material 38 mil Polykrylar (K80 PVC)

Sea Eagle 9 Review

The Sea Eagle SE9 is an inflatable boat suited to a wide range of people for a variety of purposes. In 1982, Sea Eagle brought the Sea Eagle 9 , which became a huge success and has now been updated to the newer SE9.

Sea Eagle 9SE Review

The latest version of the Sea Eagle SE9 has an increased pressure inflatable floor with its own protective nylon cover and I-beam reinforcement. The large width of the SE9 contributes to the boat’s excellent stability and enables it to haul a significant cargo.

The Sea Eagle 9 is a highly adaptable little boat. While appearing to be just another low-cost Walmart accessory on land, outperforms any inflatable raft for the money you spend when afloat. So let’s have a look at some of the purposes for this raft and what they entail for floaters and fishermen.

The SE9 is suitable for whitewater and up to Class III rapids, allowing it a lot of flexibility when it comes to paddling spots. However, because it is light, it may not function as well in windy situations. The boat has been classified as a Level III whitewater vehicle. Because the new floor drains permit for rapid drainage, you don’t need to bring anything with you to bail the boat anymore. Before proceeding any further, double-check that the floor drains have been opened.

Also, the Sea Eagle SE doesn’t come with a motor, so you’ll need to provide your own.

  • Nice bundle of included accessories
  • Lightweight
  • Extremely portable
  • 180-day risk-free trial
  • Solid 3-year warranty
  • Easy to set up
  • There are no seatbacks on the seats
  • The lock system could be enhanced

Construction and Design

The Sea Eagle SE9 is a great inflatable boat for up to four people. It’s made with durable materials that can withstand the harshest conditions.

The Sea Eagle SE9’s weight capacity of 1200 pounds is one of its most attractive features. It may be used for a camping excursion or a lengthy day of fishing, which is fantastic. It’s also quite roomy, fitting up to four people comfortably. However, if you have four people on board, your storage area could be restricted. If you need more room, it can be towed or motorized by yourself.

The Sea Eagle 9 is a robust inflatable boat with a design that ensures excellent stability in most sea conditions and moderate whitewater situations. When inflated, the SE9 measures 132′′ x 56′′. The rigidity of the Sea Eagle 9 is further enhanced by i-beam support on the floor, making it even more sturdy.

sailboat sea eagle

The Sea Eagle SE9 is designed to be extremely portable. It takes around 15 minutes to fill the boat with air. When fully inflated, the walls inflate to 1.1 psi, whereas the floor inflates to 3 psi. The hull, floor, and motor mount alone weigh just 51 pounds when deflated into a 26″x48″ carry bag.

Durability & Reliability

The campervans on which this boat is based are known for their portability. It’s intended to be simple to store and transport in the cargo area of your car, truck, RV, or large boat.

The small foot pump that comes with it allows you to set it up at the edge of the water. When inflated, it weighs just 35 pounds, so transporting it from A to B should not be an issue. There are handles on the boat for when it’s inflated and perimeter deck lines that you can hang on to while inflating it.

sailboat sea eagle

When deflated, the Sea Eagle 9 may be readily carried inside the provided storage bag. It’s also quite tiny both when deflated and inflated, allowing you to move about more easily on land as well as in water.

Allow around 15 minutes from the moment you unroll the boat for it to be fully set up using the manual pump.

Sea Eagle 9 Mods

One of the great things about the Sea Eagle 9 is that it can be easily modified to accommodate your needs.

For example, if you want to use it for fishing, all you need is to purchase the Fishing Package which includes a pair of fishing rod holders and a removable stripping basket. This way, you’ll have everything you need to enjoy a day out on the water.

Startup Package

What is in the package?

The standard package includes:

  • AB252 oar set
  • Bow towing grommet
  • 2 reinforced movable inflatable seats are encased in a high-strength protective nylon sheath
  • All-around grab line
  • Pressure gauge
  • Inflatable floor
  • Instructions

Sea Eagle 9 vs Intex Mariner 4

The Sea Eagle SE is a great option if you’re looking for a small, lightweight, and affordable inflatable boat. It’s perfect for fishing, rowing, or running moderate whitewater and can be easily modified to accommodate your needs. The standard package comes complete with everything you need for an extremely low price, making it a great option for budget-minded buyers.

The Intex Mariner is another great option if you’re looking for an affordable inflatable boat. It’s slightly larger than the Sea Eagle SE and can accommodate up to six people, making it a great choice for families or groups of friends. It also has a higher weight capacity, so it can accommodate more gear. However, it doesn’t have as many features as the Sea Eagle SE and isn’t as well-suited for fishing or running whitewater.

Sea Eagle SE: lower

Intex Mariner: higher

Sea Eagle SE: Three-year warranty

Intex Mariner: One-year warranty

Sea Eagle SE: The high-strength protective nylon fabric sheath makes the boat durable enough to withstand moderate whitewater.

Intex Mariner: The boat is made of PVC and nylon, which makes it durable but not as tough as the Sea Eagle SE.

Portability

Sea Eagle SE: The boat weighs only 32 pounds and can be easily transported in the included carry bag.

Intex Mariner: The boat weighs 50 pounds and comes with a wheeled carry bag for easy transport.

Research Rating

Sea Eagle SE9 review: A higher research rating of 4.73

However, it doesn’t have as many features as the Sea Eagle SE and isn’t as well-suited for fishing or running whitewater.

Sea Eagle 8 vs 9 Inflatable Boats

The Sea Eagle 9 has recently been updated. The new model includes features that my previous Sea Eagle 8 lacked, such as:

  • Floor drains – to allow surface waters to drain from the boat. This component makes this raft far superior to my own when it comes to whitewater usage.
  • High-pressure seats with improved comfort.
  • The fabric, which is constructed of a higher-quality material than most carpets, features translucent nylon covering to avoid hooks or other sharp objects from piercing the cloth.

Best Sea Eagle Inflatable Boats, Canoe, and Kayaks Review For 2023

sailboat sea eagle

Best BRIS Inflatable Boats and Kayaks Review Of 2023

Royal Huisman

The contemporary flybridge schooner, SEA EAGLE II, nowadays SEA EAGLE, is a true sailing yacht. This 81m / 266ft  beauty immediately earned her place alongside the shipyard’s Athena in the elite club of the world’s 10 largest sailing yachts. Delivered in 2020 under the shadow of the pandemic, SEA EAGLE II’s arrival on the superyacht scene was inevitably low-key.

Following her extensive world exploration, and with over 45,000 nm under her keel, Royal Huisman is pleased to set matters right and place this magnificent schooner in the spotlight she deserves: please find the article “THE SEA EAGLE SOARS” [ link ].

DATA & DIMENSIONS

SEA EAGLE is currently Royal Huisman’s largest yacht. Project 410, the 85m / 280ft sloop, will take over this title on delivery. Nearly 60 years of aluminum yacht-building experience have provided the shipyard with a level of expertise in constructing hulls of this material that few shipyards can match. This is especially true for sailing yachts of this size. The advantages are equally large: lightness, acceleration, strength and fuel-efficiency being just a few characteristics of a true sailing yacht versus a heavy, sail-assisted motor yacht.

The brief for SEA EAGLE was to create an extremely comfortable and spacious yacht with good sea keeping and exceptional amenities for both guests and crew. She had to offer outstanding passage-making performance so that the owner could take in as much of the world under sail as possible. She had to be a true sailor’s yacht – practical, powerful, safe and easily managed. Finally, she had to be functional, favoring simplicity and reliability over unnecessary frills.

1979 Sea Eagle 31 | Pacific Eagle

Send Message

Description.

The Sea Eagle 31 is a canoe stern design that sails well and elegant to the eye. It's a rare sailboat with less than 10 ever built, which is why you probably haven't ever seen one for sale. The teak decks were removed and glassed over and Awlgrip was laid over the entire hull and decks. Airex cored hull, bulkheads glassed in. This is not a liner boat. Offset double berth forward, convertible dinette and two quarter berths with galley opposite dinette. If you're shopping Baba 30, Westsail 32 or Hans 33, you really should see this boat. Will trade up for a trawler.
