Heesen delivers YN 17350, M/Y Ann G 50m full-custom displacement motoryacht

Heesen Yachts is proud to announce that on July 17, 2015, project YN 17350, M/Y Ann G, a 50m full-custom motoryacht, was delivered to her owners in international waters.

M/Y Ann G has been intensively tested in the North Sea on July 1-2 in smooth sea conditions with fresh breeze predominantly blowing from south east.

Ann G, whose full-displacement steel hull was created by Heesen in house team of naval architects and engineers, exceeded the contractual speed by 0.6 knots, reaching a top speed of 15.6 knots.

Arcon Yachts, who project managed the construction of this unique vessel, comments: “Ann G’s owner is a client with strong vision and high expectations. We are very pleased with the result as Ann G is the quintessence of customisation and superb attention to detail; she is a muscular yet sleek motoryacht that will make heads turn wherever she goes!”

The owner appointed Clifford Denn to draw the exterior profile of his unique Heesen – a perfect example of a vessel that exudes the strong individuality of her owner while keeping the family feeling that characterises all yachts delivered by Heesen. Clifford Denn interpreted the client’s brief for a yacht with a powerful and aggressive personality, incorporating complex and extremely refined design elements into the exterior lines that have been beautifully and perfectly crafted by Heesen in house expert aluminium welders.

Award-winning designers Raymond Langton and team created the bold interiors of Ann G.

The interior design is characterised by rich Macassar ebony, accented with stainless steel features to exude a luxurious, refined atmosphere with warming touches of backlit white onyx and soft tactile leather. A striking first impression for those stepping on board is created by the bespoke Art Deco style chandelier extending over two decks that is framed by the open-tread stairs.
The main salon is a perfect area for entertaining guests with an intimate seating area adjoining the bar of Macassar and backlit onyx. The room also includes an elegant dining area with an extending Macassar dining table featuring an inlaid art panel and a feature artwork by Based Upon on the forward bulkhead.
The guest accommodation continues the contemporary Art Deco theme, with Macassar, stainless steel, leather and parchment, and a unique palette of artworks and fabrics distinguishing each of the four guest cabins.
The owner’s suite, located forward on the main deck, features a private office, large full-beam bedroom and bathroom flanked by his and hers changing rooms. The bedroom is accented with artistic touches such as fabric artwork, and intricate deco motif inlaid into the foot of the bed, and geometric stone mosaic artwork in the bathroom.
On the bridge deck, the sky lounge is a more informal, intimate atmosphere with the Macassar architecture of the room contrasted by parchment wall panels and opulent fabrics, framed with windows on three sides filling the room with natural light and offering panoramic views of the seascapes beyond.
The lower deck beach club is the most contemporary in style – a multi-purpose space dedicated to relaxation, with space for gym equipment, steam room, bar and seating area. The main woods in this area are elm panelling and teak flooring to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

M/Y Ann G will be on display at the Monaco Yachts Show.

ABOUT HEESEN YACHTS
A yacht is a beautiful way to expand your horizons in luxurious comfort. But when that yacht is a Heesen, it can be so much more. Our yachts also offer outstanding performance combined with efficient fuel consumption, high-quality construction with cutting-edge technology, advanced engineering with avant-garde design.
Founded by Frans Heesen in 1978 in Oss, Heesen Yachts was the first Dutch shipyard to employ aluminium for the yacht hulls. Since then we have become a world leader in design, engineering and construction of high-performance motor-yachts. In 1992 we expanded our business to include the construction of traditional displacement yachts, and today we deliver superyachts within the 30 – 80 metres size range, and beyond. In 35 years we have delivered nearly 170 yachts. The current fleet includes aluminium, steel, displacement, semi-displacement and the new revolutionary fast displacement.
Eights yachts are currently in construction and their deliveries span through to 2018. Heesen is financially secure, large enough to cope with complex construction, small enough to care about each project, motivated to pioneer innovations and dedicated to continuing the tradition of Dutch quality shipbuilding.

IP.YD reveals Primo 103 superyacht design

Greek studio IP.YD has revealed a 31.6m superyacht Primo 103 concept designed to incorporate features normally found on larger vessels.

The size of the Primo 103 was the result of a request from an owner who felt the size suited his family’s needs. But spaces such as a large fold-down swim platform are intended to make guests feel they are on a much larger yacht. This beach club can be further extended by transforming the adjacent tender garage into a lounging space. There are more generous outdoor areas up top too.

‘The sundeck provides a large outdoor Jacuzzi and large sitting area,’ says designer Ira Petromanolaki. ‘ a spacious sky lounge for relaxation that communicates with the dining area, thus the dining area outdoors or indoors alternatively.’

The exterior design features a smooth curve that starts at the stern and follows the form amidships. It creates what Petromanolaki describes as a ‘dynamic surface, which gives the impression of the movement of a wave’. This surface unifies the main and the sundeck and it is intensified by the detailed black surfaces.

The Primo 103 can accommodate eight guests in four cabins, including one VIP and one master. The interior style is a work in progress, with the client preferring a modern and contemporary look.

Heesen announces the delivery of M/Y Asya, 47m full displacement.

Heesen is proud to announce that on March 3, 2015, M/Y Asya was delivered to her owners.
Launched in December 2014, M/Y Asya is the second in the restyled 47m class, a breed of yachts whose exterior design by the talented Frank Laupman of Omega Architects combines elegant traditional lines with contemporary flair, a marriage emphasised by the continuous glass windows and matching black paintwork on the main deck and upper decks.
The restyling includes a significant improvement in the housing of the rescue tender in an enclosed bay in front of the wheelhouse, a remarkable achievement considering the yacht is under the 500GT threshold. This additional touch of grace means the lines of the forward section of the iconic yacht now looks smooth and clean. Another important design change concerns the crew accommodation, which complies with LY3 regulations.

Simplicity as the ultimate form of sophistication is the guiding principle of Asya’s interior design. Her sophisticated interior from the London-based and award-winning studio Bannenberg & Rowell has a distinctly Far Eastern, restful feel, inspired by the designs of Dieter Rams, Frank Lloyd-Wright and Tadao Ando.

The sea trials took place in the North Sea on February 12 and 13 in relatively calm conditions, with average wave heights of 0.5m and south-easterly winds from 4 to 16 knots max.
Powered by two MTU8V 4000 M63 diesel engines, M/Y Asya’s well-engineered steel hull with bulbous bow provided smooth passage and exceeded the contractual speed by 0.8 knots. At her cruising speed (12 knots) she has a range of 4,000 nautical miles.
M/Y Asya is the expression of Heesen’s ability to create unique and award-winning vessels with naval architecture and engineering based on a proven and successful design platform. “Working to a proven design platform allows us to deliver an exceptional yacht in less than 24 months with industry leading quality and performance specifications,” says Mark Cavendish, director Sales and Marketing “This provides our customers with the confidence to purchase a vessel whose performance has been tested and constantly improved.”

Ester III

Every project has a story and Ester III is no exception. What made the story of Ester III a bit unusual was the fact that the clients i.e. the family are good personal friends. The relationship therefore wasn’t a regular client/designer relationship. To me this meant both opportunity and risk; opportunity because there was clearly a possibility to have the client’s ear for designing something truly unique and risk because potentially the friendship could be put to a severe test. The latter became a real possibility as the client quickly adopted a very hands off approach once the brief and conceptual design had been defined and the client/friend more and more frequently would say “just do it as if the yacht was for you Espen…….”!

The floor plan of the yacht is somewhat unusual as much as it encompasses a rather large swimming pool for a yacht this size and a helicopter platform located on top of the wheelhouse so as to enable the owner’s family to arrive and leave the yacht by helicopter without interfering too much with life on the aft decks. Also, the tender garage is located on main deck forward to have no freeboard issues during launching / retrieving (frequently a problem when located on lower deck on yachts this size) and to push the owner’s accommodation closer to midship for comfort reasons. This also freed up valuable space in the aft ship enabling the water sports toy store and the spa to be located close to the water with direct access to the stern platform.

The layout reflects the family’s frequent use of the yacht and in particular the intense use of the external desckspaces where meals, entertainment and meetings go hand in hand on a near continuous basis. The decks are laid out to be used in all weather conditions with various degrees of protection from the elements (sun, wind, rain, heat & cold) and offer dining in two external different locations plus of course the inside in the more formal main deck dining setting. Food and hospitality is a big thing for the family and the so the top deck dining is organised around a BBQ and teppanyaki fitted external kitchen which also doubles as a bar. Entertainment on deck includes external cinema and a full blown disco / bandstand as well as amenities for golfing.

Although not apparent at first sight the design features very large windows in many cases full height so as to bring natural light in to the yacht and improve the view out. This, in combination with the near vertical bow and rather angular design of the topsides and superstructure surfaces gives the yacht a unique, distinct and strong character in many ways reflecting my friend’s character and in many ways also the strong heritage of its builder Luerssen Yachts!

A frequent shortcoming on yachts this size is a proper tender offering full protection from the elements when needed. This yacht is destined to spend large amounts of time at anchor so this was an important recommendation from me. Accordingly we allocated sufficient space in the tender garage and designed a bespoke limo tender with a sliding roof structure so as to have the benefits of an open tender when not raining or operating in severe weather. The tender was designed by us to have a certain resemblance with the mother ship and built by Windy Boats in Sweden to very high specifications including all upholstery and fitting specially made by Hermes.

Pershing 82

PERSHING 82 THE MISSILE DISGUISED AS A YACHT
Words fail us when we look at a masterpiece, so we have to settle for numbers: 24 metres long and 5.50 metres wide, with a weight of 57 tons that move at the fantastic speed of over 45 knots with a 300-mile range. All this while being able to calmly chat in a normal tone of voice because the noise levels have been calculated at 70 dBA. Here is another prestigious statistic: threeWorld Yacht Trophies that heralded its debut at the Festival de La Plaisance in Cannes.

So you will understand why this fabulous 82-footer (heir to the P80) has been called “the missile disguised as a yacht.” Setting aside its missile-like turn of speed, let us cite its comfort and and other qualities: the sundeck that can be reached with the retractable carbon-fibre stairway, the famous folding and retractable French door that separates the cockpit and lounge, and the luxurious and high-end interiors furnished by Poltrona Frau.

Pershing 92

PERSHING 92 THE STUNNING BEAUTY

When you see it arriving, majestic and aggressive, it looks like a shark waiting to attack the next wave. That is because the fusion of the aerodynamics of the hull and the sea is truly complete, just as the liveability of the Pershing 92 – designed to discover new frontiers of fun and comfort every day – is unsurpassable. Its design is more Pershing than ever, reflected in its simple and more streamlined profile with taut lines that allow the interior space to be enlarged, giving the lounge and aft cockpit on the main deck in particular unheard of breadth and comfort.

There is everything you would expect to find, from the windows of the superstructure and the extensive glazing to the wide folding door separating the cockpit from the lounge. The sundeck has also undergone innovative upgrading. It is even roomier with added space to ensure ultimate relaxation and privacy on board. Two prestigious Italian companies in the home furnishings industry contributed to the ultra luxurious interiors: Poltrona Frau for the wheelhouse and all of the seating, and Ernestomeda for the kitchen.
