During a three-day operation that saw Sparta’s hull lowered into the water for the first time at the Talsma steel fabrication yard, powerful cranes were pre-positioned just along the canal from the Oss shipyard. The hull was towed to Oss for preparation, and next day relocated under the cranes to receive the two MTU 12V4000 M65R diesel engines and gearboxes. Only then could the two-part aluminium superstructure and the mast assembly be placed on the hull. The completed structure is now secure in Heesen’s no. 5 shed, where outfitting and interior fit-out are set to begin. The yacht will be ready for delivery in 2023.
With the joining of her hull and superstructure, the assertive exterior form of Project Sparta can now be appreciated for the first time, characterised by a powerful bow, bold curves, dramatic window shapes and an inviting stern area, with its stepped aft deck and 6.5-metre infinity pool. Indoor and outdoor spaces connect harmoniously and create the perfect haven for family life and relaxation. By incorporating a raised pilothouse, Winch Design has conceived a new style of sporty profile which will pave the way for the next generation of Heesen yachts.
