Hull Number 15250<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129806/image/large-e0601e9663d21f81fff5a9bdc2fcb621.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129806">In October the first yacht in the new 5000 class hull number <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/2470">15250</a>, a semi-displacement 50-metre motor-yacht of below 500GT was moved from Building Hall 6, where the hull was welded, into Building Hall 1, where she will be completed. Her interior, conceived by the renowned French designer Rémi Tessier, is in minimalist style, while remaining totally luxurious. This yacht is due to be launched in 2011. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129807/image/large-5f60ceb4d430c2b00539667b0650a7ec.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129807"> <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129808/image/large-8db8a00a131e135a71e4c430d92be1e0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129808">The second yacht in this class (Hull Number 15850) is already in production and the superstructure will be joined to its hull at the beginning in January 2010. Hull Number 14955 The fully customised 55-metre semi-displacement motor yacht, Hull Number <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1549">14955 </a>has been moved into Building Hall 7 for completion. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129809/image/large-e1859dfa5c110900a036731bd0b41535.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129809">This represents the biggest yacht to be built at Heesen to date. Powered by a pair of MTU 20V 4000 M93 diesel engines, each developing 5,600hp and each driving a five-blade propeller, she will reach the remarkable speed of 24 knots. This performance is, in part, due to Heesen's in-house Naval Architecture Department who conceived innovative hull lines with a large flare rising up to the chine that deflects spray and improves the sea-keeping ability of the vessel. Drawn by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects, the exterior styling of this yacht is characterized by two main features the huge windows with arched tops and bottoms, positioned amidships, that draw in extraordinary amounts of light while providing the guests with wide vistas, and the unique rounded and cantilevered side-deck balconies that extend from the owner's suite. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129810/image/large-a4355639365e7d8354fa8e1324cf8d17.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129810">The futuristic interior design sprung from the creative genius of Ken Freivokh Design which, among other stunning details, sports a triple height atrium with glass lift, steps and walls, and a waterfall that tumbles from the sundeck pool into a second custom-built pool located on the bridge deck aft. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129811/image/large-280eb48d28742da6050f08b468b914a4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/129811">Another interesting feature on this fully custom 55-metre that is due for launch in 2011 is the 'wet dock' in the stern tender garage that allows the tender and the water toys to be floated in, before the dock is drained. Heesen Yachts Founded by Frans Heesen in 1978 in Oss, The Netherlands, Heesen Yachts was the first Dutch shipyard to employ aluminium alloy for the construction of yacht hulls. Since that time the yard has become a world leader in the design, engineering and construction of high performance, all-aluminium motor yachts. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/129812/image/large-ecc3cc61f726c4d3b774df86be54506a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/125576">In 1992 Heesen Yachts expanded the business to include the construction of traditional, long-range, steel-hulled displacement yachts. Today, the company can create magnificent private yachts within the size range of 37 metres and 65 metres in length (121ft 4in to 213ft 3in). In 2009 Heesen Yachts has delivered four magnificent motor yachts, three with semi-displacement hull forms (the 44m, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1270">Jems</a>; the 44m, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1565">My Petra</a>; and the 47m, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1564">4YOU</a>; and the 47m, <a href="#managed-by-application" data-legacy="true" data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/1269">Blind Date</a> with a full displacement hull form. Twelve further yachts, whose combined lengths total some 560 metres, will be delivered to their Owners by 2012.
