Superyacht TWIZZLE was loaded onto a barge and shipped to the deep waters of Harlingen on the north coast of The Netherlands, using the local canal network (nciknamed Huisman’s ‘berthing canal’ by the yacht’s owner) and the waters of the Ijsselmeer inland sea before passing into the North Sea port of Harlingen, having passed through the locks of the North Sea Dyke.

It was in Harlingen, on the 12th July, that the 57.5m sailing was officially given her name by the owner’s daughter, witnessed by around 150 guests, including the CEO of the Royal Huisman Shipyard , Alice Huisman, naval architect Ed Dubois , Justin Redman, a principal of the design house Redman Whiteley Dixon, and Emily Todhunter of Todhunter Earle Associates who designed the megayachts’ interior.

Sailing yacht Twizzle officially named

Sailing yacht Twizzle’s name ‘Twizzle’ came from a TV puppet from the 1950’s and she is the result of the Owners’ vision of a high performance, high tech sailing yacht with the genuine long range cruising capability as mixed with the comfort and luxury of a large motor yacht.

• Multi award-winning
• Stunning interior with unique layout
• Panoramic views

Twizzle is an extraordinary, timeless, award winning yacht.  Twizzle was launched by Dutch yard Royal Huisman in 2011 and at this time, the 57.5m superyacht pushed the limits of what was considered possible for a sailing yacht, blending a focus on technology with beautiful design. Dubois Naval Architects were tasked with designing the custom yacht with a 3.8m minimum draft, so she can tuck into shallow anchorages around the world – her daggerboard extends to 10m when underway at full pace.

There are sailing superyachts that are built to cross oceans and those that are designed to win races. And then there is sailing yacht Twizzle, the world-roaming family cruiser that can also hold her own on a racecourse.

Twizzle is already a proven bluewater cruiser, having completed a circumnavigation. The sleek yacht cuts a gorgeous form on the water, and her interior is equally as commanding. Twizzle has been awarded for her charms many times over. Among her many accolades, she nabbed two ShowBoats Design Awards – for best interior design and best recreational area – and the ISS bestowed upon Twizzle the Best Superyacht Interior Design Award and Best Sailing Yacht Design Award.

Twizzle’s interior by acclaimed design house Redman Whiteley Dixon and Todhunter Earle, is intended to envelop guests in comfort. Every detail is considered to create a welcoming space, from the natural tones and stylish decor to the exacting attention to eye lines, seat levels and proportions. Acid-washed oak plays against chocolate-coloured lacquers, while the bathrooms are ensconced in pale, polished marbles. The addition of cashmere throws, soft leathers, woven linens and hand-painted silks creates an environment of extraordinary luxury set against the contemporary, cool interior.

The relaxed, comfortable interior has plush accommodations and her unique layout for up to eight guests features a vast, full-beam master suite, replete with owner’s study, two double suites and one twin with an additional Pullman. All of Twizzle’s staterooms have en suite showers and full media suites including Apple TV.

As Twizzle won an award for her recreation areas, it’s no surprise that these spaces shine. Her sheltered aft cockpit and main cockpit run seamlessly into the main salon. This creates a grand indoor-outdoor space where the entire family can lounge around, enjoying amazing vistas of the sea outside, gazing through Twizzle’s vast, wrap-around windows which look to be floating from the coach roof. These windows were a technological achievement as the largest ever produced by Yachtglass at the time of her build.

If a bit more excitement is desired, head up to the flybridge, were the yacht’s racing pedigree is truly felt. The performance cruising ketch was designed to excel at all wind speeds and directions, the sails hoisted in two minutes, and she is a force to be reckoned with on the superyacht racing circuit. Yet even when rounding the buoys at high speeds, Twizzle is incredibly stable and comfortable, and she is nimble and easy to handle when in cruising mode under charter, too.

While it’s doubtful you’ll tire of sailing the big boat, if you crave closer-to-the-water action switch over to one of the two Laser Pico sailing dinghies or windsurfers. As Twizzle settles into a picturesque harbour, gather on the customised stern platform to choose from this charter yachts well-endowed toy box. From stand-up paddleboards and kayaks to snorkelling and dive gear, Twizzle has plentiful watersports options. Or get towed behind one of the two 6.4m Castoldi jet tenders on the kneeboard, wakeboard or water skis.

TWIZZLE for charter

Twizzle  is an award-winning sailing superyacht brought about by a high-pedigree design and build pairing. There are sailing superyachts that are built to cross oceans and those that are designed to win races. And then there is  Twizzle ; the world-roaming family cruiser that can also hold her own on a racecourse. The full-custom yacht, built by Royal Huisman in Holland, was purposefully designed with a 3.8m minimum draft, so she can access shallower anchorages around the world. At full pace under sail, her daggerboard extends to 10m. Twizzle  has benefitted from a complete interior refit in 2023, undertaken by Barcelonian firm GCA Architects, and now this 57.5m yacht is more beautiful than ever. Twizzle ’s new interior is designed to envelope guests in comfort. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a welcoming space, with natural tones and stylish décor. From the table lamps and sconces to the custom designed credenza, carpets, and artwork every detail has been meticulously chosen to a unique creative vision. By introducing texture, using materials like patina brass, hand-carved oak wood, and bouclé fabric, guests are delighted at every turn. Great care was taken in choosing unique furniture and decorative pieces that are works of art in themselves, collecting them in a space that is warm, comfortable, and visually interesting. Each element was handpicked to ensure that the pieces all spoke to each other; individually beautiful, and working together in harmony, truly setting  Twizzle  apart.  There is accommodation aboard  Twizzle  for up to nine guests, and the cabin arrangement features a full-beam master suite, complete with private study. There are two further double cabins and a twin cabin with an additional Pullman berth. All of the accommodation is ensuite, and each cabin is equipped with a fantastic audiovisual entertainment system, which is connected to the yacht’s impressive Starlink Marine service. Twizzle ’s sheltered cockpit runs seamlessly into the main saloon, creating a grand indoor-outdoor space where the entire family can lounge and enjoy amazing vistas through the vast, wrap-around windows which look to be floating from the coach roof.  If more excitement is desired, head up to the flybridge where the yacht’s racing pedigree is truly felt. This performance cruising ketch was designed to excel in all winds, and is a force to be reckoned with on the superyacht racing circuit. Even when undertaking manoeuvres at high speed,  Twizzle  is stable and comfortable, the yacht is nimble and easy to handle when in cruising mode, too. As  Twizzle  settles into a picturesque harbour, gather on the spacious stern platform to choose from this charter yacht’s extensive toy box, which includes stand-up paddleboards and kayaks, SeaBobs, Fliteboards, snorkelling sets and scuba diving equipment, as well as e-Bikes for exploring ashore.  Twizzle  is also equipped with two 6.4m Castoldi jet tenders for towing the kneeboard, wakeboards or water skis.

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.

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.

Twizzle rig?

My father talks about a friend of his from England who tried a twizzle rig on his boat. The yards flapped up and down so hard he finally had to give it up or risk doing damage to the sails. He may have not had it rigged quite right, I don't know. It looks like that could be a problem in your video too, if there was any sea. Maybe an extra line to vang it? Also, I notice it took two of them to furl the last few feet. If weather comes up and you have to deal with those yards whipping up and down before getting them in, it could get dangerous. It's hard to say. I can see adding a control line to bring the butts of your yards down to the deck when stowing them. That could allow for more control single handing. I'm interested in this thread because my father talks a lot about what a terrible idea the twizzle rig is but I've never seen one. - Will (Dragonfly)  

Poled out double headsails is a pretty common technique for long downwind runs, like in the tradewinds. Usually the poles are attached to the mast. Google "double headsail rig" and you will find lots of suggestions.

I don't have any experience with these, but it doesn't look like something I'd add to a sail inventory for general purpose cruising, which seems to be what you're after. In both the videos and the Yachting World article it is described as a passagemaking sail or "trade wind" sail for going dead downwind. Easy to set, self-tending, easy to douse, easy to sleep. But if you're wanting better downwind performance for day-to-day sailing I think it would suck. I think you'd unfurl it, look at it, and wonder why you aren't moving any faster. In that bikini-shaped configuration it doesn't generate any lift, just drag. That's nice for stability and when there's plenty of wind but otherwise its, well, a drag. It won't perform anything like a spinnaker, especially if there isn't much wind (which so often is the case). And if there's lots of wind you probably don't have a problem with the sails you have. You stated that you aren't interested in a spinnaker or chute, and I'll admit I've had more than my share of embarrassing spinnaker mishaps, but they're a joy for moving downwind. I'd start with a cruising chute and a sock, and some light wind. Then you'll get hooked. Then you'll wrap it around your forestay, but you'll still be hooked. With practice you just need one crew. My 2 cents.  

I used one about 15 years ago. They are marvelous. You sail with no mainsail and the boat tracks like she's on rails. Sail can be quickly reduced from the cockpit - a huge advantage over a spinnaker. It takes about an hour to set up and another hour to clear away, so this only makes sense when you expect several days of downwind sailing. The boat had a solent rig with two headsails -- each on a furler. The sails were not the same size but that didn't bother the twizzle. We would set the smaller sail to windward. The furlers allowed the spinnaker poles to be set up on a clear deck (more on this below). Once everything was ready, the sails were unfurled from the cockpit. They could also be easily furled again to let a squall pass or simply for a squall or simply to reduce sail at night. Ours was rigged so we could swivel the whole thing about 30 degrees for a broad reach. Securing the poles is the biggest challenge. The joint at their inboard end must be very strong and be able to handle both compression and tension. We had a whole bunch of lines to hold the poles. An uphaul, two downhauls attached at the deck so you could turning the sail for a broad reach. We also had a uphaul and downhaul for each pole's outer end. The sheet just slid though the pole fitting. We could have saved a few lines without securing the pole ends this way, but it made the setup and take down very controlled - not a bad thing on a foredeck offshore.  

This really baffles me. What is the advantage of that pole arrangement? Why not just attach the poles to the mast? It just looks way more complicated than necessary, maybe I'm missing something.  

The Twizzle rig as shown in the video explains how the rig works so well. It is the fact that the whisker poles are not attached to the mast that makes it self-damping to reduce the roll. I would think it is kinder to the whole setup also. I met "smacman" who posted the video. Lovely man who has got a lot of experience. It's great that this post has got us thinking......all thoughts and advice gladly received. The day we stop learning should be when they nail the lid closed!  

The high clews on the headsails would almost be necessary to prevent banging up and down. Otherwise, some sort of vanging would need to be in place. It might be necessary anyhow. It typically is the case that when the seas get bigger the wind is higher and that would help steady the rig but, sometimes it gets quite rolley without the wind. In that case, you have to be able to stabilize the whole setup. If the OP is looking at a singlehanded setup, notice it took two guys to finish the furling. Someone had to be forward to take care of the poles while the other guy hauled on the furling cable. Maybe the poles could be stowed first with minimal sail up, then furl. - Will (Dragonfly)  

I picked up a second OEM jib from Chuck McG. When I sew the sun panel back on, I'll fly both jibs. Both being the same, I call them Angel Wings, in memory of Chuck.

I've been deploying head and stay sails w/o a foil or hanks for over 5 decades by using a sail with a luff wire built in. All you need is a strong point to attach the tack to on the deck and a halyard. So you run one head sail in your foil and the other w/o a stay or foil. I can't for the life of me understand why the rig in the video hasn't got both poles fixed to the mast, either on a track and/or a simple pad eye. That system looks like a disaster just waiting to happen. I can easily see it leading to a dismasting.

Nothing wrong with developing a way with the sails you have to give your boat propulsion that you otherwise do not have. The Spinnakers, Code Zeros, Gennaker, or Asymmetrical etc. are just more efficient designs than a couple of wing on wing jibs or genoas. You could get a couple of pairs of GrandMa’s bloomers and haul them up. As the owner said, they help him manage his boat and sail it with minimum crew. I note that the video shows relatively calm seas and mild breezes. As @capta points out that pair of partially lashed poles floating in the air could get unwieldily should the seas and wind change. Should the watch person nap a bit and a squall come up over the horizon, going forward to untangle that mass of lines and poles could be a problem.

I raced a Hunter Legend 37 in non-spin class and we were allowed to set a lose luff. I used a windsurfing carbon fiber mast for a whisker pole on a mast track. Could deploy in seconds around the up wind mark. Had some comments that the pole would break, had it backwind one time, flexed it signaficantly, but did not break. Very light, strong and flexible.  

Update: I had new sails made a couple of years ago, not long after posting the original article. I still love the double headsail or twizzle, I find that I can sail in very light winds up to 10kts with both sails out very comfortably, the windward one poled out and the wind up to 20 deg aft of abeam. With the sheets set correctly the double sail works as one, and the performance is great. The poles attach to the fwd side of the mast so that they can pivot all the way back to the outer stay, and are slightly longer than the distance to the forestay so that they can't go beyond it when recovering/deploying them. I now have two whisker poles which I have used in very light airs, but I don't think it makes much difference to the performance other than keeping the sails out when the wind falls to lower than boat speed and stops the sails collapsing.
