Highly customised 50-metre Steel hybrid yacht for delivery in 2024 press image
In December 2020 Heesen announced the sale of steel-hulled Project Oslo24, a 50-metre hybrid yacht later known as Cinderella Noel IV.
Heesen announced on 22 December 2020 the sale of YN 20150, a 50-metre steel Smart Custom yacht then known as Project Oslo24. It was the fifth yacht sold by the Dutch builder during 2020 and had an expected 2024 delivery window.
The owner, an experienced yachtsman intending to operate the vessel personally, requested a hybrid propulsion system and practical features for cruising the Scandinavian coast. Heesen described twin MTU engines coupled to electric shaft motors, enabling quiet low-speed operation as well as conventional diesel passage-making.
Clifford Denn was responsible for the exterior, which included a folding mast to improve clearance beneath bridges, while Luca Dini Design & Architecture developed the interior. The brief extended to owner-specific spaces and an additional flybridge helm suitable for family cruising.
This original 2020 order subsequently progressed into the yacht delivered as Cinderella Noel IV in April 2024. Keeping the order date and delivery as separate events preserves the vessel's development history and prevents a planned 2024 completion from being presented as a current promise.
