Heesen Yachts launch MY 'Satori'

摘要

Heesen Yachts announced that end of February, YN 15250 was launched at the shipyard facilities in Oss, the Netherlands. The owner christened her 'Satori', a name that in the Zen Buddhist tradition refers to a sudden enlightenment that is considered the first step toward Nirvana. With a Gross Tonnage of 499GT and a top speed of 24 knots she is among the worlds fastest 50 metre yachts. Built on the experience of launching seventeen 44 and 47 metre custom yachts, the hull of this new 50 metre is currently the most efficient on the market. In consultation with Van Oossanen Associates, Heesen's in-house naval architects created a sophisticated and highly efficient hard-chine hull. When combined with Heesen's acknowledged weight reduction expertise and a pair of high power-to-weight ratio MTU 2.720kW engines, 'Satori1 is able to deliver her excellent top speed as well as a very economical fuel burn and a particularly long range of 3.200Nm at twelve knots. Frank Laupman, from Omega Architects, designed the clean lines of this new 50 metre semi displacement.
