Ngoni
Silhouette and Seascape
Ngoni, a striking 58m sailing yacht built by Royal Huisman in 2017, is a testament to cutting-edge design and performance. With exterior styling by the renowned Dubois Naval Architects and interior craftsmanship by Rick Baker Ltd, she blends aggressive aesthetics with refined luxury. Designed for an owner who demanded a high-performance yacht without compromising on comfort, Ngoni features a sleek aluminium hull and a towering carbon fibre mast that supports an impressive sail plan. Her fast displacement hull form ensures exceptional speed, while advanced sail-handling technology enables effortless control, even at full power. Combining a minimalist yet highly functional layout with custom detailing throughout, Ngoni delivers an exhilarating sailing experience for those who appreciate both beauty and brawn.
Striking lines and high-performance rigging
Ngoni’s exterior is an architectural triumph, showcasing the late Ed Dubois’ signature style—sleek, contemporary, and purpose-driven. Her deep blue hull, combined with a near-plumb bow and a low-profile deckhouse, gives her an unmistakable presence on the water. The carbon fibre mast, standing over 70m tall, supports an enormous sail area designed for high-speed cruising. The deck layout is meticulously planned for both racing and leisure, with wide open spaces and flush hatches maintaining a clean aesthetic. A spacious aft deck offers plenty of room for relaxation, while the cockpit provides an ideal spot for guests to enjoy the thrill of sailing. Retractable twin rudders and a lifting keel enhance manoeuvrability, ensuring Ngoni remains as agile as she is striking.
Contemporary Luxury
Inside, Ngoni is a world of understated sophistication, designed to be both functional and inviting. Rick Baker Ltd has crafted an interior that balances minimalism with warm, natural materials, featuring bespoke furniture and artistic flourishes. The open-plan main salon is flooded with natural light, offering an elegant yet relaxed setting for socialising or unwinding. The owner’s suite is a private sanctuary, complete with a luxurious en-suite and custom furnishings that reflect personal taste. Additional guest cabins are equally well-appointed, providing a comfortable retreat with high-quality finishes. Every detail, from the hand-selected wood veneers to the soft ambient lighting, contributes to a serene yet stylish atmosphere, making Ngoni as comfortable as she is performance-driven.
