The Royal Huisman 2600, often referred to in maritime circles as the Huisman 85 or the 26meter series, represents a definitive era in the shipyard’s transition from traditional craft to the pinnacle of aluminum superyacht construction. Launched primarily during the midtolate 1980s, this model served as the foundational platform for several of the most respected yachts in the Royal Huisman Fleet, including the celebrated Ariel, Whirlwind, and Foftein. Designed in collaboration with the legendary naval architect German Frers, the 2600 series was engineered to provide a bridge between the rigorous demands of offshore racing hull forms and the uncompromising luxury required by the world’s most discerning owners. Built almost exclusively in Alustar or 5083grade aluminum, these vessels were among the first to prove that a largedisplacement cruiser could maintain a high degree of "feel" and responsiveness at the helm.
