45m Hakvoort motor yacht Adur takes shape

The 45-metre Hakvoort motor yacht Adur currently under construction in the Netherlands is taking shape ahead of her launch next year when the project’s hull section came into view for the first time today in Franeker, Friesland. The hull will be transported the Hakvoort’s facility in Monnickendam and the superstructure joined, where the all-aluminium project will be completed.Photo: Tom van Oossanen

Sold by Ocean Independence in late 2018, construction on the 45-metre yacht Adur got underway in December that year. She sports a clean and sporty exterior by Omega Architects and benefits from naval architecture by Van Oossanen. The custom project was commissioned by an experienced and involved owner and accommodate a total of 8 guests in four cabins.Photo: Tom van OossanenPhoto: Omega Architects

The interior, also by Omega Architects will feature floor to ceiling wrap-around windows on both aft decks, a request from the owner, in order to offer panoramic views from the main deck saloon and plenty of natural light. The lower deck will house a gym while in the bow a submarine to explore the ocean depths will be stored.Photo: Omega Architects

Powered by twin 2580 kW MTU diesel engines and two electric booster engines, she will have an impressive top speed of 26.5 knots. At a steady cruising speed of 12 knots, she will have a transatlantic range of 3800 nm.
