This weekend, Rotterdam celebrates two remarkable milestones in Dutch yachting history: 175 years of the Royal yachtclub KR&ZV ‘De Maas’ and 50 years since the start of the Flyer story.
Royal Huisman is proud to reflect on the legacy of Conny van Rietschoten and the two Flyers, both built in Vollenhove, whose back-to-back victories in the Whitbread Round the World Race, now known as The Ocean Race, remain unmatched.
A tribute to vision, preparation, craftsmanship and the enduring spirit of sailing.
