Feadship announced another milestone as Project 714, a true gentlemen’s yacht,
emerges from the shed at the Aalsmeer facility. At 79.95 metres in length, this
striking vessel is now ready to undergo final outfitting and sea trials, setting the stage
for an exceptional addition to the Feadship fleet.
Project 714 features an exterior design by RWD. Her sculpted curves and striking
blue hull capture the essence of sophistication and style. True to Feadship’s
reputation, every detail has been meticulously crafted to ensure unparalleled
aesthetic appeal and performance. Naval architecture by Feadship De Voogt Naval
Architects further ensures her performance matches her graceful aesthetics.
The yacht is also a showcase of cutting-edge technology with a propulsion system
developed through the Feadship Advanced Electrical Drive (FAED) program.
Sharing innovations with the groundbreaking Obsidian, her diesel-electric hybrid
power system has 4.5 times more electrical storage capacity than Feadship’s first
hybrid yacht, Savannah. The propulsion and steering are delivered by two contra-
rotating thrusters, which eliminate the need for traditional drive shafts and rudders,
significantly reducing drag and enhancing efficiency.
Optimal efficiency through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis resulted in
finely tuned pods and propellers that minimise vibration and maximize comfort on
board. This forward-thinking approach to engineering aligns seamlessly with
Feadship’s commitment to innovation and sustainability.
