57.5m flybridge ketch with amenity and pace

This elegant, 57.5m flybridge ketch is a noteworthy project for Royal Huisman. It is the yard"s first yacht completely styled, inside and out, by the talented team of Redman, Whiteley Dixon - with interior décor from Todhunter Earle Associates. Naval architecture by Dubois Naval Architects represents another long-anticipated first for the yard; and this is Royal Huisman"s first flybridge sailing yacht.

Twizzle is a stimulating project because the owners are central to this talented team, bringing their own ideas (particularly in technology and design) and significant experience (yachts they have owned include a 47m Perini Navi and a 55m Feadship) to the process, adding challenge and momentum.

The vision is to create a high-performance sailing yacht with the comfort and amenity of a motor yacht. To this end Dubois have reduced wetted surface and set a swing keel within the 3.8m draft fixed keel. Lightweight composite materials are widely used in the rig and in components above the waterline whilst optimised beam and 120 tons of internal ballast secure stiffness and stability. The rig, with its 62m mainmast set to clear Panama"s Bridge of the Americas at low water, carries up-wind 1,952 m2 of sail (down-wind 2,872 m2).

Justin Redman and his group have shaped a graceful flying bridge that combines a stylish profile with airiness and light below. Together with Emily Todhunter they have defined an interior with owners" and guests" accommodation abaft the engine room and crew forward. A central dining area and saloon are situated amidships above the engine room with the main galley on a mezzanine deck and the pilothouse on a raised deck.

Twizzle was launched in August 2010.

Design Focus: Sailing yacht Twizzle

The 57.5 metre performance flybridge ketch Twizzle left the Royal Huisman Shipyard in Vollenhove for launching on 8 July 2010 for a September delivery, marking the culmination of several years of research, engineering and construction. The launch ceremony signified the completion of a project that has pushed the perceived limit of what is technically possible on board a sailing yacht, with freshly designed or refined systems and astonishing attention to detail and accuracy, where an intense scale of technology internally and externally has been incorporated without infringing the overall aesthetic appeal.

A collaboration between Redman Whiteley Dixon , Dubois Naval Architects and Todhunter Earle , the design was driven by the owners and their crew based on previous yachts including the 47 metre Perini Andromeda la Dea . She is not only Royal Huisman's first flybridge yacht, but also a remarkable and unique vessel that has undoubtedly challenged the yard, representing one of the most complex and sophisticated builds ever attempted.

Only those fortunate enough to board Twizzle will fully appreciate the technology and engineering under the surface, but the yacht's exterior displays a formidable and successful combination of structural design, styling and construction.

In profile, the superstructure is striking for two reasons: the apparently seamless, wraparound glass at deck level and surrounding the internal bridge; and the sweeping, unsupported overhang incorporating the mizzen mast.

For Arjo Spans, the yacht's project manager at Royal Huisman, this area required considerable strength to ensure basic structural stability, but it would also have to withstand the forces of the mainsheet located at the forward limit of the flying bridge and the tack fitting of the mizzen staysail.

"The superstructure is all glass and looks as though it's floating," says Spans. "There's not a lot of construction going through the coach roof and dividing these forces through proper construction was crucial."

Unusually for a sailboat, the yacht's general arrangement was a starting point for the owners and Redman Whiteley Dixon were tasked with the exterior and interior styling with the flying bridge as the fundamental feature.

"The superstructure is the very core of the boat with the accommodation package designed first and the systems and sailing elements second," confirms Justin Redman. The design process made extensive use of 1:1 plywood mock-ups to refine the design and optimise the engineering required to ensure maximum space and comfort in the public areas and cabins -a technique the design team would recommend to anyone building a complex sailing yacht.

Redman and his team worked in partnership with Dubois on the naval architecture and structural design, with Dubois intricately refining the hull volume to 498GT -just under the 500GT classification limit.

Uniquely, Twizzle  is the only Dubois-designed yacht where superstructure design and interior layout has been handled by another company.

"The integration of all the kit in the superstructure on the flying bridge and in the wheelhouse was major challenge," admits Redman. "The superstructure glass was a further design and styling breakthrough: 'I always wanted it to be a very flush design, rather like a pebble washed up on the beach, completely smooth with nothing sticking out and to make the glass come down to the deck involves a very complicated join to make something look so very simple."

The size of each panel and the rake on the screen is such that the supporting structure was extraordinarily well developed by Dubois and Royal Huisman. As a result, the deckhouse windows are the largest glass panels ever produced by Yachtglass, involving oven heating and shaping on a scale the German company had never undertaken before.

However, the styling and design of the glass windscreens entailed far more than pleasing visual appeal, ingenious structural support or ground-breaking manufacture techniques, so Redman Whiteley Dixon used automotive technology: the Alias car surface fairing program.

"We can read reflections and see how light falls over certain surfaces way in advance of anything being built," says Redman. "You have to make sure that the light and the radius all work well, and it doesn't bend or buckle as it goes all over the surfaces."

Glass tinting has also been applied making the panels dark externally, but totally clear when viewed from the yacht's interior.

"For such a simple form, it's really quite sophisticated," he admits. "I think Audi, historically, have simple forms, but they have been beautifully surfaced and it's a real art to achieve this."

The practical effect of the glass screen is an unrestricted view across the foredeck, and two winches either side of the main mast are the only pieces of hardware on view. The absence of cowls or dorades on the foredeck is achieved by a series of eight ventilation ports installed in the bulwarks with a customised snorkel-and-ball system approved by Lloyds to ensure complete watertight integrity when the boat is heeled.

A further foredeck detail that is easy to miss, due to the high level of craftsmanship, in laying the teak is the inclusion of 18 customised Rondal hatches forward of the deckhouse including huge hatches for storage compartments housing two 6.3 metre Castoldi jet tenders and a C-quip knuckle crane. Most remarkable is the lack of visible hinges and the absence of margin planks between many of the hatches making the entire area a triumph for Rondal.

Dubois Naval Architects were asked to design the hull with a 3.8 metre minimum draught as the owners, experienced world cruisers, have been to many places where the water is too shallow for a conventional sailing yacht draught. As a result, Dubois designed a swing daggerboard that increases draught to 10 metres, which can be lowered even when the yacht is sailing at full speed so that it can efficiently be used while racing.

Twizzle also has the highest sail area to wetted surface ratio of any yacht yet built, and the highest righting moment.

Clearly the most mechanically complex external area on Twizzle is the stern platform which, once again, surpasses the usual expectations. Rather than a relatively simple platform that folds out on hinges to form a teak-clad bathing area, the transom slides down and then opens, revealing the stern bathing platform.

Royal Huisman's system comprises two separate sections that can be raised or lowered above water level depending on the sea state and linked by adjustable, teak steps. The upper set of steps down from the main deck can be opened hydraulically to access a storage area for diving gear, a dinghy and a pair of kayaks, while a carbon-fibre C-quip swimming ladder can be deployed from the lower section of the platform.

With the complicated manoeuvre and multiple functions of the stern platform, the System Integration Department at Royal Huisman devised a program to automate the entire sequence of movements from initial deployment to flushing the swimming ladder with fresh water after use. Impressively no hydraulic rams, cables or catches are visible and the entire structure is capable of mooring a tender, despite these concealed hinge points above the waterline.

The communication, electronics and entertainment innovation on board Twizzle is also exceptional. The entertainment system is integrated by Harris Grant using Crestron and iTouch remotes, and guests can adjust the lighting, shutters, air-conditioning and TV with a single hand-held control. Moreover, guests can control their own iPods plugged into their cabin from anywhere in the yacht, and along with the usual DVD, Internet broadcast and satellite TV streams there is an option to stream photographs from the day's cruising via a dedicated TV channel.

The yacht's alarm and monitoring system was designed by Royal Huisman and updated and customised as the 'Twizz-net' interface with extraordinary depth of information and detail available.

In addition, Twizzle has an independent mobile phone network, Alto Bridge. 'The primary application of Alto Bridge is when the network pick-up is bad,' explains the yacht's second engineer and IT officer, Izzy Pritchard. 'It's run via the V Sat unit. The boat effectively has its own mobile phone network and your personal handset will show 'SY Twizzle Network' on the display. As soon as you set foot on the dock, it will switch back to your normal network.'

With the complexity of the communications and navigation equipment on board, the yacht's owner made the foresighted decision to thoroughly test every system pre-installation: a decision that involved constructing a unique 'laboratory' at Royal Huisman.

"We basically assembled the electronics twice," confirms Steve Jacover, the owner's project manager from Yacht Project Management. "All the systems were built in the lab, interfaced, tested and de-bugged," he continues. "Every speaker and TV were tested and the radars and antennas were installed on the roof of the building. Even the yacht's CCTV system was put together in the lab."

Indeed, the yacht's masthead colour camera from FLIR, which also functions as a nightvision camera, is controlled by the radar system and can switch quickly between four separate targets.

It is unlikely that any other superyacht owner has requested this degree of rigorous testing and although the operation was time-consuming and expensive, the benefits are clear. "The testing completely proved the functionality of all the systems," adds Jacover. "With all the interfaces and protocols tested beforehand, it also means that any post-launch work is kept to a minimum."

While the communications are impressive, the bridge and flying bridge helmstations are completely clear of mechanical gauges, buttons and control levers, relying on active glass touch panels and widescreen displays from Radio Holland and Marine Technologies (MT) for all monitoring, navigation and communications data via the integrated bridge system.

The flying bridge has sail control panels and screens giving full conning pages for both motor and sail, as well as a race page. Unlike many flybridge yachts, the internal bridge on Twizzle is separated from the main deck saloon, raised to a half deck between the saloon and flying bridge: an arrangement that provides privacy for guests on the main deck, and through a phenomenal use of available space, an electronics storage area roughly one metre high, but easily accessible, has been included between the guest area and bridge, packed with communications, entertainment and navigation PLCs and housing the lithium battery emergency power supply, all in a chilled, temperature controlled environment.

Unusually, the bridge has no wheel - or even a helmsman's chair -and the only manual controls visible are a trackball and two joysticks. However, with the use of the yacht's dynamic positioning system (DPS) from MT, the inclusion of a wheel on the bridge would be little more than window dressing.

Developed in Norway for conning rig supply ships and manoeuvring oil and gas platforms, DPS enables Twizzle to hold an exact geographical position with the yacht's Wärtsilä variable pitch propeller working in unison with the two fore and aft Hundested thrusters and the rudder.

The applications for a private yacht are substantial if mooring to a buoy, moving into a restricted, stern-to berth or docking side-to a quay when a gentle nudge of a joystick will inch the boat into position.

On the flying bridge, two wheels are fitted behind a low windscreen directly below the mainsail with a clear view of the headsail luffs. On a large sailing yacht, the distance between the rudder and wheel is such that fly-by-wire steering systems are used and work efficiently, although any true, direct sensation of load on the rudder or handling under sail is absent.

To recreate the feel of a direct mechanical steering system, Royal Huisman designed a customised rudder feedback system that measures forces on the rudder stock and converts these directional loads into corresponding forces on the wheel via an electronic actuator. The result is an accurate replication of direct steering, a feature that will enhance the pleasure and performance of helming whether cruising or racing.

This rudder feedback system, combined with load cells fitted in the masts monitoring load levels and trending, calculating the maximum load and flexing in the rig, will ensure that Twizzle can be sailed or raced at full potential.

Unsurprisingly -considering the huge volume of impressive and diverse technology on board - the yacht's engineers are unable to pinpoint a personal favourite. Val Zahov and Chris Clamp are chief engineers on Twiz zle and have been based in a private office at Royal Huisman since the first day of the project.

"The exhaust system for the generators is particularly good," concedes Zahov after much thought. "Instead of mufflers, they use soot burners. It's a development of Royal Huisman which we are very happy with."

Each of the three Northern Lights generators on board has a soot filter: a compact unit approximately the same shape and size as a domestic immersion water heater. Within each soot-burning cylinder there are two identical chambers with filters. When one filter is filled with soot, the reserve chamber and filter comes online while soot in the dirty chamber is burnt off, thus replenishing the filter.

Extensive tests were made pre-installation and it was found that a white linen handkerchief remained spotless when held in front of the generator exhaust outlets.

For Zahov and his team, ease of servicing these compact units is also vital. 'The system uses mesh filters that are extremely strong and you can simply take them out and pressure wash the units,' he explains.

Despite being unable to single out their favourite feature of  Twizzle , the engineering team on  Twizzle  are unanimous on one point.

'Huisman's use of CAD modelling has been a saviour,' believes Pritchard. Computer aided design software, used in conjunction with Rhino and Shipconstructor programs, creates 2D and 3D design and drafting images and has become an essential tool. AutoCAD was used to design every area of the boat ensuring that space in each zone was completely optimised, making certain, for example,that all the equipment fitted without pinch points for the crew and door opening restrictions in the confined areas of the engine room.

At the hull construction stage, sheets of Alustar aluminium would arrive at Royal Huisman and through AutoCAD, precise cutting, shaping and cataloguing was possible.

"It saves walking onto the boat, taking a measurement and then going back to the workshop," says Pritchard. "Some of the cavities in the boat run air ducting, electronics, firefighting equipment and all types of services and you just wonder how on earth they got it all to fit."

Zahov agrees: "This is probably one of the strongest and most important skills. To get everything to fit and utilise the space to the maximum is something that no one can do as well as Huisman," he believes. "There isn't a single air-gap on Twiz zle unl ess it is dedicated to storage," adds Zahov.

This achievement is doubly impressive on a sailing yacht: "Considering the shape of the hull, I'm amazed at how much space we have on the boat," he continues. "Those motor yacht buildersthey don't know how easy they have it!"

Arjo Spans from Royal Huisman concurs with the yacht's engineers. "If you look at the size of the hull and the scale of the interior, every bit of space has been used to make the interior as spacious as possible," he explains. "This can put a major pressure on the engineering department as their space gets really limited."

All the wiring and plumbing has to run through these spaces and using 3D drawings and computer programs combined with expertise allows us to build a boat of such complexity.'

The Royal Huisman Shipyard and the neighbouring Rondal facility is a self-contained, 30,000 square metre, yacht-building citadel where raw materials of steel, aluminium, carbon, titanium and timber arrive at one entrance and pass through a network of store rooms, cutting sheds, testing areas, welding shops, humidity controlled joinery shops and ventilated painting halls before the various components meet in one of the yard's three, enclosed shipbuilding halls.

This supremely organised and well-planned yard is staffed by a workforce drawn from the local region who will invariably remain with Huisman for most of their working lives, developing skills and an immense stock of experience. It also becomes clear by merely walking through the surgically clean yard that Huisman is a very good atmosphere to work in.

A final testament to the yard is the fact that the majority on the non-Huisman team involved with  Twizzle  believe that a yacht with her level of customisation and complexity could not have been built anywhere else.

PRESENTING TWIZZLE

Sailing yacht Twizzle is the result of the Owner’s vision of high performance. Moreover, a high tech sailing yacht with all the comfort and luxury of a motor yacht.

Unrivaled specifications and unparalleled quality of build make S/Y Twizzle the perfect sailing yacht.  She races in superyacht regattas and hoists its sails in minutes. The yacht takes advantage of even the gentlest of breezes.

S/Y Twizzle is CARBON NEUTRAL!

Environment.

Sailing Yacht Twizzle is the perfect escape for charterers who care about the environment.  In addition, those who visit the most beautiful places on earth in comfort and safety.

Royal Huisman’s first flybridge sailing yacht, Twizzle was conceived to create a high-performance sailing yacht with the comfort and amenity of a motor yacht. Unlike most large sailing yachts, the sails can be hoisted in a matter of minutes and Twizzle can sail in anything from 6 to 26 knots of wind.

An experienced owner has brought an exciting team together to create a stunning new project that lists three important “firsts” for Royal Huisman. The first:

• Yacht completely styled by the gifted team of Redman Whiteley Dixon, with Todhunter Designers providing interior decoration
• Build with naval architecture by Ed Dubois
• Sailing yacht with a flying bridge

The comprehensive involvement of the owners alongside the architects, the stylists and the yard motivates Royal Huisman.  It is a real working partnership within a stimulating team culture.

The owners have experience with previous yachts. For instance, a 47 meter Perini Navi and a 55 meter Feadship). They provide a well-informed focus for their team choices and challenges.  In addition, they have particular interests in technology and design. The owners also participate in frequent meetings at the yard, with the designers, and at their own offices. These meetings stimulate ideas and momentum.

Justin Redman and his team have responded to the brief with a graceful flying bridge offering sleekness, style, and amenity. Redman and Emily Todhunter defined the interior.  Owners’ and guests’ accommodation are abaft the engine room and the crew area forward. A central dining area and separate saloon are amidships above the engine room, with the main galley on a mezzanine deck and the pilothouse on a raised deck. Two 6.4 meter Castoldi tenders stow in a garage on the main deck, above the crew cabins.

She specifies calling for the amenity of a motor yacht within a high-performance sailing yacht.  Dubois reduced wetted surfaces and set a swing keel within a 3.8m-draft fixed keel. He optimized the beam, In addition, he added some 120 tons of internal ballast to improve stiffness and stability beneath 1.780m 2  of sail. The sails are on a ketch rig. The mainmast is just under 62 meters. This clears Panama’s Bridge of the Americas at low water.  Masts, deck hatches, and other components are of an advanced lightweight composite.  Additionally, PBO for rigging.

Green yacht!  Twizzle offers yacht carbon offsets to control the level of fuel emissions that contribute to the greenhouse effect.  Thank you to Twizzle and to Twizzle and to 1-800 Yacht Charter ‘s luxury yacht charter guests for making a difference.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
