The radical, fast displacement, sub-500GT superyacht has finally shown off her hull lines at Royal Huisman’s shipyard in Vollenhove, The Netherlands. The narrow and fuel-efficient hull was rolled out of her construction hall for the scheduled turning.

Four cranes performed the seamless manoeuvre placing Phi upright, after which she was rolled back inside to proceed with construction and outfitting.

Phi features exterior design from the drawing board of Cor D. Rover, interior design by Lawson Robb and naval architecture by Van Oossanen Naval Architects. Relating to the ”sectio divina” or the Golden Ratio, Phi is the formula that governs the continuation of dimensions and shapes in natural proportions throughout the design.

Phi was created as a result of many hours of deep conversation, over a period of years, between the experienced Owner and Cor D. Rover. Utilising the especially developed Fast Displacement XL hull form from Van Oossanen, allows this yacht to be 55-metres and still remain under the 500 GT mark.
