Engines installed on YN19360 Project Falcon, our largest steel yacht to date

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.
