Heesen Yachts have announced the delivery of the 44m Lady L and the 47m Lady Petra to their Owners.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/196185/image/large-c9e9488eac6450377b845310450b5252.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/196185">M/Y Lady L (YN 15944, formerly Project Zentric) is the eighth in the successful 44m semi-displacement class. M/Y&nbsp;Lady L reaches the remarkable speed of 25 knots, making her the fastest 44 metre yacht of her style on the market, thanks to twin MTU 2.720kW engines combined with unmatched experience in weight reduction and the ultra-efficient Heesen hull. This ensures an increase in space does not mean a decrease in speed. Using the experience gained from constructing previous 44 metre aluminium yachts, Heesen has designed M/Y Lady L to fully maximise the amount of deck space available resulting in even greater levels of luxury. Her elegant interior has been created by Frank Laupman from Omega Architects.<img alt="" src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/139596/image/large-8710f1c474a9909b5fc2351c929e6fbc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/139596" class="legacy">M/Y Lady Petra (YN 15747) is the seventh in the award-winning 47 metre displacement class. Christened on Saturday April 28th, 2012 in the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Heesen and almost seven hundred guests, M/Y Lady Petra is the second vessel built by Heesen Yachts for its founder. Lady Petra’s interior has been designed by Bannenberg and Rowell and features a great variety of precious materials cleverly combined to create a sophisticated yet comfortable décor.

Heesen superyacht Lady L at full speed

Last week we announced the christening of superyacht Lady L at Heesen Yachts. The yard has now released more information on YN 15944, formerly Project Zentric. This vessel is the eighth in the successful 44 metre all-aluminium class: The first, YN 13644 Sedation, was launched back in 2007. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137881/image/large-dea1155e277e0b306003a7c3f8de8d56.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137881">YN 15944 was begun as a project “on stock project” by the shipyard. In this economically tumultuous period, being able to build boats before you have buyers for them is a real sign of financial health and strength. Heesen is fortunate enough to be among the few shipyards that can still do this. Their commercial strategy, underpinned by excellent production organization and know-how, is the key to this success: they build competitive, high-performance luxury yachts with very appealing delivery schedules. YN 15944 is the third of the four contracts Heesen signed in 2011. Last November, through Nakhimov Yachts, they sealed the deal and just two months later were able to celebrate the launch. This is an incredible result, made possible by tireless team-work between Heesen and all the professionals that contributed to the genesis of Lady L. Building in aluminium to enormously demanding tolerances, the Heesen hull-form is unique – quite simply no other ship shape can so effectively optimise the way a yacht moves through the water. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137882/image/large-c9cf6ab66e9ac7416111593efc70767a.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137882">Lady L reaches the remarkable speed of 25 knots, making her the fastest 44 metre yacht of her style on the market, thanks to twin MTU 2.720kW engines combined with unmatched experience in weight reduction and the ultra-efficient Heesen hull. This ensures an increase in space never means a decrease in speed. Using the experience gained from constructing previous 44 metre aluminium yachts, Heesen has designed Lady L to fully maximise the amount of deck space available resulting in even greater levels of luxury. It’s likely guests will spend most of their time at sea on the wonderful 45 square metre sun deck. They’ll also enjoy the main and upper aft decks as the perfect locations for alfresco dining or just lounging in the shade; while the seating area on the foredeck is ideal for catching the breeze when at anchor, or for privacy when docked stern-to in the harbour. Frank Laupman from Omega designed the timelessly refined interiors where pale woods and precious fabrics emphasise light and space. The sleek, classic Deco design keeps the areas elegant and clutter-free. The main saloon is split into three distinct areas within the open-plan layout. In addition to the main sofas and dining areas, there is an intimate semicircular seating area adjacent to the huge curved sliding glass doors. The sky lounge has been designed to provide several different entertaining and relaxation spaces. Deep sofas line both sides of the room, while an aft circular arrangement of stools and table creates a laid-back atmosphere. Ten guests can be accommodated in five cabins. The full-beam master suite is situated on the main deck and includes a study and full-beam his-and-hers marble bathroom. Two double and two twin cabins, all with ensuite marble bathrooms, are located on the lower deck.

More information on the recently launched superyacht Lady L

Last Friday I had the pleasure to attend the launch superyacht Lady L at the Heesen Facility in Oss, The Netherlands. Previously known as Zentric, hull number 15944 was sold at the end of last year in co-operation Nakhimov Yachts. Lady L, like her sister-ships was designed by Omega Architects, who also designed her bright and contemporary interior. The exterior colour scheme of the yacht was created by Dobroserdov Design, who opted for a dark grey hull, a dark blue stripe at the full-beam section of the main deck and a white superstructure. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137813/image/large-08275580e640a6a5034b041a631420af.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137813"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137814/image/large-ad96eaf502f3cce3b253d67b12259db1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137814"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137815/image/large-e879a82a019e8fbb4e6ec6af68ee0fa4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137815"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137816/image/large-3f666097800e34743dca005c8f3afcb9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137816"><img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137817/image/large-d869b60b7cf492b81958b5019f2b01b5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137817">By Merijn de Waard

Heesen Yachts launches superyacht Lady L today

Heesen Yachts announced the sale of Project Zentric in collaboration with Nakhimov Yachts. YN 15944 is the eighth in the successful 44 metre all-aluminium class: The first vessel (YN 13644 MY Sedation) was launched back in 2007. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/137324/image/large-fe7b1a1261da7ee4c4e4da6d910d01f7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/137324">YN 15944 is the third contract signed in 2011 and in such an economic climate this demonstrates that there will always be a market for superb quality and technical excellence, both qualities that this Dutch superyacht builder excels in. And by acquiring a yacht already under construction, there is no extended lead-time. In fact Heesen currently has 12 vessels in commission (four on speculation) with a total length of 584 metres, with deliveries up to 2015. Project Zentric’s twin MTU 2.720kW engines combine with unmatched experience in weight reduction and the ultra-efficient Heesen hull to ensure that an increase in space never means a decrease in speed. Project Zentric reaches the remarkable speed of 25 knots and is the fastest 44 metre yacht of her style on the market. Building in aluminium to enormously demanding tolerances, the Heesen hull-form is unique – quite simply no other ship's shape so optimises the way a yacht moves through water. Meticulous attention to weight reduction results in increased levels of luxury. Using the experience gained from the previous 44 metre aluminium yachts, Heesen has designed Project Zentric to fully maximise the amount of deck space available. Guests will mostly enjoy life at sea on the 45 square metre sun deck. The main aft deck and upper aft deck are the perfect location for alfresco dining or just lounging in the shade, while the seating area on the fore deck is ideal for enjoying the breeze when at anchor or for privacy when docked stern-to in harbour. Frank Laupman from Omega designed the sleek exterior lines and the timelessly elegant interior where pale woods and precious fabrics emphasise light and space. The guest areas are elegant and clutter-free thanks to the sleek, classic deco design. The open-plan main saloon is split into three distinct areas: in addition to the main sofas and dining area, there is an intimate semicircular seating area adjacent to the huge, curved sliding glass doors that lead to the aft deck. The sky lounge has been designed to provide several different entertaining and relaxation spaces. Deep sofas line both sides of the room, while to aft a circular arrangement of stools and table creates a laid-back atmosphere. Ten guests are accommodated in five cabins.
