Owner Experience Review

Conceived to the brief “Build me a beast,” the Custom Dubois 58mfromROYAL HUISMANhas been run as an owner‑operated, high‑performance bluewater cruiser and a crowd‑drawer at Mediterranean shows. Independent press characterize it as a fast‑and‑furious sloop with a very large sail plan (square‑top mainsail and huge gennaker) and low‑resistance lines from a relatively narrow beam, plumb bow, and reverse sheer. Tank testing and a heavy fin and bulb (about 96 t) underpin the speed and notable upwind power. The manual/pure steering delivers direct helm feedback and a more hands‑on driving style than powered systems.

The lifting keel is central to how owners use the boat: 8.10 m down for stiffness and pure performance, 5.30 m up for harbour access. It opens up longer Mediterranean passages and event appearances in places like Palma and Cannes, but the deep draft when lowered will rule out some harbours and anchorages.

Guests are well looked after: four large ensuite staterooms plus an aft master, with a 2017 build that has seen refit changes through 2024 including conversion of the original gym to a twin‑berth guest cabin. The Rick Baker interior, which won Best Interior at the ISS Awards 2018, is paired with efficient crew circulation for nine across six cabins, a professionally equipped galley and crew mess, and direct engineer access to a state‑of‑the‑art, well sound‑insulated engine room with MTU main machinery. Bespoke systems such as the hydraulic lifting keel, boarding platform/passerelle, large carbon rigging, custom deck hardware, and a precision‑installed submarine anchor system reward specialist service planning; the manual steering reduces some hydraulic service items but requires a crew comfortable with manual feedback.

Pros and Cons

• High‑performance sloop with a very large sail plan, tank‑tested hull, and ~96 t fin and bulb delivering notable speed and upwind power.
• Lifting keel offers 8.10 m down for stiffness and 5.30 m up for improved harbour access.
• Award‑winning contemporary interior, four ensuite guest cabins plus master, and efficient crew/service circulation.
• 8.10 m draft with keel down restricts entry to some harbours and anchorages.
• Manual/pure steering demands experienced hands and differs operationally from powered helm assist.
• Bespoke systems (lifting keel, submarine anchor, carbon rigging, custom hardware) require specialist maintenance and vendor dependencies.
