Heesen’s largest ever steel displacement yacht is currently in build, on target for launch in 2021. Hull and superstructure were joined together in October 2019 and the interior fit-out is well underway.
Measuring 60 metres overall and with a half-load displacement of approximately 800 tonnes, the yacht’s underwater lines are designed on the principles of Van Oossanen’s Fast Displacement Hull Form, refined by Heesen’s in-house naval architects. But an efficient shape is just one side of a carefully balanced equation. If the yacht is to fulfil its required performance parameters, engine selection is equally important.
In this respect, YN 19360 Project Falcon is a perfect example of the successful exchange of ideas between shipyard, engine supplier and the owner and his team.
