Hoek Design's 26m Windhunter delivered by Aluboot

The first Hoek–designed Pilot Classic 85, Windhunter , completed last year, has now been delivered to her Turkish owner by Dutch shipyard Aluboot.

‘The Pilot Classic concept is based on a 36-footer we did called Tintel – and originally on the British pilot cutters, with plumb bows and bowsprits,’ says Hoek Design managing partner Ruurt Meulemans. ‘It gives the classic looks of the boats but it enlarges the waterline length, and with that the sailing performance.’

Pilot Classic-style designs by the yard are being brought to life in a number of other yards. A 46m is in-build at Royal Huisman, a 20m is under construction at Metur in Bodrum and a 10m day-sailer is being built as part of a series at Dutch yard Jagt.

On Windhunter , Hoek Design was responsible for the naval architecture, exterior styling and interior design of the yacht.

The 26m sailing yacht offers outstanding performance, flush decks, a plumb bow for a long waterline and the ability to be sailed and maintained by a permanent crew of two. The yacht is classically styled above the water, with a lifting keel that stays below the interior floorboards in order to reduce draft for marinas. Carbon spars were chosen and the yacht is expected to be fast in light airs and in upwind conditions.

The interior design was arranged by the Hoek office with soft furnishings by Esra Gunray from Istanbul. The decorative scheme combines mahogany panelling with off-white painted areas and leather floors with mahogany margins. The full-beam owner’s cabin is located aft and features ‘his & hers’ en suites, the latter with a bath. Hoek Design’s ‘Pilot Classic’ concept is also currently being brought to fruition in even larger sizes in major custom builds at Royal Huisman.

Windhunter is the sixth yacht from the boards of Hoek Design to be built at Aluboot, which specialises in aluminium sailing yachts and lifting keels.

Wind Hunter 19′

The inspiration behind the creation of this craft were the bristol channel cutter boats. such boats were used for loading and unloading large ships in the sea in all kinds of weather. this small yacht is intended for sailing coastal waters; it is of course also suitable for inland waters., the windhunter, sail away from £30,000.

PILOT CLASSIC

We have created various designs with a plumb bow, classic sheer and classic stern overhang in our Pilot Classic range. One of the first yachts designed in this style was the 36-foot Tintel, launched in 2000. Tintel has since sailed to many remote places and proved herself as an extremely fast and seaworthy vessel thanks to her long waterline length, high stability and tall sail plan. She outperforms many modern yachts of a similar size thanks to an optimised underwater configuration with a fin keel and spade rudder. The 85ft Pilot Classic Windhunter is another good example as is a 155 ft Pilot Classic design built by Royal Huisman and launched in the spring of 2014. You will find yachts of a similar style in this section up to 200 feet in size. The forty, fifty and sixty-metre Pilgrim projects, developed in close cooperation with Wally Yachts, are the most well-known and spectacular. Smaller yachts are currently in development.
