Designing yachts For designer Øino, yacht design has been a passion since his childhood. “I was always obsessed with boats and with drawing,” he said. “Drawing boats was a big part of my upbringing.” Studies in naval architecture and engineering followed, giving life to a highly exciting and creative career in the yachting. In 2016, Øino undertook the design, space planning and naval architecture of Heesen’s landmark yacht, Galactica Super Nova.
“One of Heesen’s strengths is its clear DNA,” said Øino. “Although they’ve tackled some displacement boats, most of its builds are fast, efficient and dynamic. Though many different design houses have been involved, you can still see that it’s a Heesen.”
