HANUMAN: THE NAME
Hanuman, the mighty ape that aided Lord Rama in his expedition against evil forces, is one of the most popular idols in the Hindu pantheon. Believed to be an avatar of Lord Shiva, Hanuman is worshiped as a symbol of strength, perseverance and devotion.

UNCOMPROMISING BUILD QUALITY
Naval architects Gerard Dijkstra & Partners have overseen the build of the Royal Huisman luxury yacht Hanuman’s hull in Alustar, with spars and rig in carbon composite to create a yacht that demonstrates the full potential of Charles E Nicholson’s original design. To further this ambition, Royal Huisman has worked with the naval architects, the independent Carew Group, master sailmakers North Sails and spar makers Rondal to create the optimum mast and sail configuration as, in effect, a single wing unit.

AN INTERIOR THAT REFLECTS A BY-GONE ERA
Below decks, interior designer Pieter Beeldsnijder has drawn upon fine traditional materials such as hand-polished French Walnut and period design references to create all the warmth and ambience of a bygone era, sensitively fused with the high amenity standards of a modern superyacht.

COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE COMBINED
The 42m superyacht Hanuman (Endeavour II replica) is race-prepared and ready to perform, offering accommodation for 6 guests in 3 cabins.
