Royal Huisman said goodbye to the 58.50 metre long aluminium building in Amsterdam. The Cor-D. Rover lines set the scene with laser technology.

In front of the halls of Royal Huisman and Huisfit, "Phi" appeared more beautiful and, above all, more homogeneous than any yacht before. The reason for this was the laser-powered and extremely thin light strips from fibr8.com. The technology of the company from Breda in the Netherlands was already used by the Chinese conceptual artist Ai Weiwei for one of his light objects.

The delivery was preceded by sea trials in the North Sea, during which the "Phi" hull designed by Van Oossanen reached 22 knots. The Cor-D. Rover design carries only one rescue tender on the forecastle. Three tenders of twelve, 14 and eight metres each (sailboat) are transferred with six jet skis and a car to the 36-metre supply vessel "Phi Phantom". The aluminium construction from Alia Yachts also stores 60,000 litres of diesel.
