Heesen launches YN 17350

Heesen launches YN 17350, 50m full-custom displacement motoryacht
Heesen Yachts is proud to announce that on May 29, 2015, project YN 17350, a 50m full-custom motoryacht, was launched at its facility in Oss. The owner has decided to keep the name of his new yacht confidential until the delivery.
YN 17350 is a steel-hulled, full-displacement motoryacht below the 500GT threshold with naval architecture in consultation with Van Oossanen and engineering by Heesen’s in-house team of experts. This yacht was sold in collaboration with Arcon Yachts who are also project managing the build. Created for a client with strong vision and high expectations, she is the quintessence of customisation and superb attention to detail. Powered by two MTU 8V 4000 M63 diesel engines, YN 17350 will have a top speed of 15 knots and a range of 4,000nm at 12 knots.
The owner appointed Clifford Denn to draw the exterior profile of his unique Heesen – a perfect example of a vessel that exudes the strong individuality of her owner while keeping the family feeling that characterises all yachts delivered by Heesen. Clifford Denn interpreted the client’s brief for a yacht with a powerful and aggressive personality, incorporating complex and extremely refined design elements into the exterior lines. The result is a muscular yet sleek motoryacht that will make heads turn wherever she goes.
Award-winning designers Raymond Langton and team created the bold interiors of YN 17350, which will be delivered to her owners in July 2015 after extensive sea trials in the North Sea.
