In Pictures: The recently delivered Heesen Elena

Elena is the first of the newly styled vessels in the award-winning 47-metre class, a breed of Heesens that are icons of classic contemporary yacht design. Her interior features contrasting fabrics of silk, wool and linen, that complement the subtle patterning and rich textures featured in the main saloon, while the walnut floor, oak walls and gloss lacquered ceiling bring an element of gravitas to the interior. Powered by twin MTU 8V 4000 M63 engines, she will have a range of 4.000nm at 12 knots.
