Hutting 46 first look: stands out from the crowd

The Hutting 46 aims to please with this long distance aluminium cruising yacht featuring a number of semi-custom options. Toby Hodges reports

This long distance aluminium cruising yacht is intended to stand out from the crowd. This Dutch yard, founded in 1975 by Tjerk Hutting, has a strong reputation for its 40-50ft serious cruising yachts, plus a 54ft high latitude expedition design.

The idea behind the Hutting 46 was to create a new yacht with more performance than existing Hutting designs, while retaining the brand’s long-standing key attributes, including an emphasis on comfortable and safe sailing. It’s also intended to fill the gap between robust bare aluminium boats and “highly aesthetic yachts that lack the security and practical aspects of a world cruiser.”

“For us as hydrodynamicists, technicians and sailors this was a sweet spot of design,” says Niels Moerke, of Van Oossanen Naval Architects. “Our aim was to find an optimal combination for safety, comfort and performance.” He says this is why the stern is narrower than those of today’s “really modern racers.”

Generous displacement of 14,500kg means the canoe body is deeper than that of most contemporary designs. The forefoot is also deeper than current norms and has a relatively sharp V-shape, which Moerke says is intended to enhance safety and comfort in rough seas.

A choice of two keel options, both with hefty lead bulbs, is offered. Unusually, these have been optimised to provide identical performance characteristics. The 1.9m draught shallow keel has winglets, plus an optional trim tab to help fine tune performance.

Hutting’s 46 is built for serious cruising with comfortable and safe sailing in all weathers. The interior is fully customisable

Alternatively, there’s a conventional 2.4m draught deep keel without winglets. In both cases, bulb dimensions were optimised using CFD (computational fluid dynamics) analysis and both keels are fully integrated into the structure of the aluminium hull.

Below decks the comparatively slender transom and forward sections restrict accommodation volumes, yet there’s still space for a very comfortable two cabin, two head arrangement with largely excellent stowage.

The first example, which is the result of a 14-month development programme and carries almost all options, hit the water in early 2024. This year will also see Tjerk Hutting handing the company over to his two sons, Jelle and Wietse, both of whom are already heavily involved.

“Our goal is to continue creating our customers’ dream yachts through semi-custom built options,” says managing director and sales manager Jelle, “…creating truly exclusive sailing yachts that stand out from mass-produced alternatives.”

safety comfort timeless

Beyond standards. Distinctive in quality, appearance and possibilities. This is where design follows function, resulting in an ideal cruiser and a timeless beauty: the new line, Hutting 52.

A synergy between the international award winning naval architects of Hoek Design and the leading craftsmanship of Hutting Yachts yacht builders. Combined forces of Dutch fame.

The design is robust with the elegance of a classic yacht. Sportive yet graceful. It is a yacht with endurance that makes you feel confident and secure, regardless of the conditions or your destination. A well thought out design with a high standard in every aspect: safety, comfort, performance and sustainability.

For the individualistic sailor who rejects conformity and has a desire for maximum freedom. It can be personalized like no other. Start exploring and begin the process of creating your ideal custom-built sailing yacht with us. The Hutting 52 will be beyond your expectation.

The characteristics of the ever-popular Hutting yachts, combined with the famous elegance of Hoek Design architects. The new ideal cruiser, created with eye for aesthetics.

Sailing under heel, the extended waterline length will give extra performance. In light winds the yacht will benefit from a small wetted surface and the retractable bowsprit to carry an optional Code 0 or Gennaker. A high aspect jib combined with a large mainsail with an easy reef system to reduce sail area, makes the Hutting 52 an ideal short-handed sailing yacht.

Due to the aft overhang, a spacious and safe cockpit could be designed, a detail not often seen on yachts this size. To offer maximum comfort we created an aerodynamic pilothouse that nicely blends into the deck. Every element is designed with great care to obtain our goal: create a timeless, unique and characteristic sailing yacht.

The journey becomes a destination itself with a custom-built yacht that feels like home. Our work is not a standardized process; the experienced craftsmen of Hutting Yachts create custom-built interiors, tailored to your demands with unlimited possibilities and unrivaled quality.

The interiors made by Hutting Yachts are known for their well considered layouts with the highest standard of safety and quality. Practical and smart details. You are safe onboard of a Hutting yacht, anytime, anywhere.

Hutting 40 'Capella'

Steel long keeler – great condition, specifications.

The Hutting 40 Capella is a comfortable, compact, and seaworthy sailing yacht. It is a long keel yacht made of steel and built in 1992.

The current owners have enjoyed sailing through Scandinavia for many years, always taking great care, resulting in its good condition.

Currently, the sailing yacht is in Sweden and will be back at the shipyard in Makkum from spring 2024. Viewings can be organized in Sweden in the meantime.

The Hutting 40 Capella is among the first Hutting 40s built, along with the Siga Siga . It has a robust steel construction. The steel hull provides excellent stability and solidity, particularly in challenging waves. The ergonomically designed cockpit benches make it an ideal yacht for comfortable and secure extended sailing. According to the owner, " the surprisingly reassuring feeling of safety during heavy weather gave me a kick." The yacht has a proven track record, having been sailed by the current owners for many years along the Scandinavian coast.

The interior layout is optimized to ensure a comfortable and safe stay, creating an ideal 'home away from home .' Smart storage spaces and secure grips throughout the boat contribute to the overall functionality. With a generous headroom of 1.95m throughout the yacht, it offers a comfortable interior for extended stays. The yacht features two cabins; one with a double berth in the front and another in the back.

Unfortunately , interior photos of this yacht are currently unavailable. However, starting from spring 2024, the yacht will be at our yard, and we will take photos at that time.

Contact our team for free advice or to schedule a viewing. Virtual viewings are also possible.

Hutting 46 Explorer : Retro classic for the long journey

Michael Good

 ·  28.02.2023

The excitingly beautiful, classic lines originate from the Van Oossanen Naval Architects studio in Holland, which became famous for the legendary and victorious wing keel of the "Australia II" in the 1983 America's Cup, among other things. The Hutting 46 Explorer is also equipped with such a keel with wings protruding from the side. Van Oossanen's lines, on the other hand, remain classic all round and breathtakingly beautiful, with a spoon bow, retracted yacht stern and a pronounced deck bulb.

Like all boats from Hutting Yachts, the new 46 Explorer is designed for long and, above all, demanding voyages. The hull and deck are built entirely from aluminium (6-8 millimetres) in Dick Koopmans' shipyard. This means that the attractive yet extremely robust retro classic will also be suitable for extreme voyages in remote areas. Storms and ice should not be able to harm the ship - that is the concept.

The design of the cockpit with the deep cockpit and the high, all-round cockpit coaming also matches this. Here, the crew is well protected and has a firm hold. The 46 Explorer is equipped with a steering pedestal and a short traveller in front of it. The sail plan provides for either a self-tacking jib or a fairly wide overlapping genoa. The upper and lower shrouds are separate, which also allows unhindered access to the foredeck.

Hutting Yachts offers the 46 Explorer as a semi-custom concept. This means that customers determine the equipment and design themselves within the scope of the possibilities. Hutting is also flexible when it comes to the interior design to meet the owner's wishes. The layout shown in the gallery above with two cabins and two heads is just one of the many options.

The first Hutting 46 Explorer is currently in the final construction phase and is due to enter the water for the first time in May of this year. There is no price list, but Hutting Yachts does give a volume for the investment: future owners will have to pay around 1.4 million euros (excluding VAT) for a boat of this type.
