HEESEN YACHTS USA - AVAILABILITY LIST MARCH 2021

Heesen is delighted to announce that the hull and superstructure of YN 19850 were joined together at the shipyard in Oss. The 50-metre Project Sapphire is the second in the new semi-displacement 5000 Aluminium Class, a fast-cruising design of below 500GT which follows on from the successful Satori Class.

For this new class of vessel, Heesen’s in-house team of naval architects created an optimised, low-drag hull design with a reduced transom depth, and propeller tunnels to allow for a shallower shaft angle. Together these refinements have led to efficiency gains of some 12 per cent, while a draught of just 2.15 metres makes Sapphire the perfect yacht for exploring turquoise waters. The in-house team was supported by Van Oossanen Naval Architects who carried out the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tests.

New CCO appointment: Friso Visser joins the Heesen team

Heesen Yachts is pleased to announce the appointment of a new Chief Commercial Officer, Friso Visser, who has a wide-ranging knowledge of the international shipbuilding industry.

Friso will lead the sales and marketing team and take responsibility for maintaining the company’s global position as a leading Dutch yacht builder. He will be supported at Heesen by Robert Drontmann.
