‘Yachting World’ is without doubt one of the – if not the – most influential yachting magazine in Europe and USA, and Toby Hodges is the Test Editor of the magazine. The December issue features a review of the new Heyman 42 PPH:   From the article: “Designed for two to live aboard in real comfort, the Heyman 42PPH combines some of the best or these monohull and multihull features into a… Read More

  The first reports on the PPH are beginning to appear Jochen Rieker made an interesting analysis for ‘Yacht’ (Germany). ‘Yacht’ is the biggest sailing yacht magazine in Europe, nowadays publishing also in English, French and Italian languages. The English version of the test can be found here: From the review: “Tons of exciting ideas… the Heyman 42 surprises and impresses (…) Deck saloon yachts over 40 feet long are… Read More

There is a stage late in a build process  – be it the final installations in a new house, or an elegant bridge across to the other side of the river, or just any major project – where everybody is working on every final detail. People silent, focused. Intricate drawings, panels open for access, cables, hoses, tools everywhere. It looks like chaos, nothing finished. Then, one day, the sound of… Read More

  PERFORMANCE AT A NEW LEVEL The new Heyman 34 Sport is now ready for production. The glass fiber prototype has been fine tuned for two seasons and we are ready to start series production in carbon fiber, from keel to top of the mast. The new carbon fiber version will offer an even more powerful performance. Being based on an unprecedented amount of research, the Heyman 34 Sport is… Read More

  Biggest Sail Boat Show in Northern Europe  Our new Heyman 34 Sport was shown at the Boat Show in Ellös a few weeks ago. We had visitors from near and far – Norway, Finland, Germany and (obviously) Sweden. There was a flattering interest in the new boat. For some, the new 34 was the attraction of the show and the reason they went there. There are a couple of… Read More

(A version of this article previously published under the ‘EVOLUTION’ tab)   TESTING HULLS IN (ALMOST) REAL CONDITIONS A few years ago, I had the pleasure of being part of a ground-breaking study at Chalmers University of Technology. We set out to focus on the performance of 3 different 41′ racing hulls designed by us, mysteriously called A, B and C. The tests were made in different wave lengths, using… Read More

From time to time, we have tried to convey the essence of the pilot house of the PPH but we have hardly talked about the bedroom at all. This is almost inexcusable because the owner’s bedroom on the PPH is lovely, and unique in a yacht of her size. So let’s go for a short walk, some 9 metres through the PPH, starting back at one of the steering wheels:… Read More

A ‘CLOUD OF SAILS’ With more than 90 square metres (close to 1000 square feet) of upwind sail area – and 180 sqare metres (or close to 2000 sq.ft.) on a reach – how do we handle all that sail? The first answer to that question must be “with ease”. It just has to be easy or, for many people, the entire idea of a sailing yacht will be wasted…. Read More

Many have asked how the build of the PPH is going. 4 boats have been sold, actually also another few sales pending. We believe this is rather sensational for a new design. Or should we say, a new yacht based on a new concept? The answer is that the build is going at full speed. All parts are being prepared more or less at the same time, in the office,… Read More
