YN 20857 Project Setteesettanta, 57m full-custom motor yacht: hull tests completed

Heesen is delighted to confirm that following a rigorous programme of Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations, and two days of model tests in the new tank at the Wolfson Unit in Southampton, the hull design of #projectsetteesettanta has passed with flying colours.

"The Fast Displacement hull of this 57m #yacht was tested in many different sea states, including those representing very harsh conditions,” commented #perryvanoossanen of renowned Dutch hydrodynamicists van Oossanen Naval architects. “We had paid particular attention in the design to achieving low accelerations, in both pitch and roll - which are the measure of comfort onboard - and to ensuring a dry vessel in spite of her reversed-bow design.”

Calm water tests proved equally satisfactory, Perry confirmed: “They demonstrated yet again the top-notch performance of the Fast Displacement Hull Form."

Project Setteesettanta is a full-custom motor #yacht for repeat #heesen clients, who requested a #yacht tailored to their lifestyle. Setteesettanta incorporates the finest details to satisfy every family member and deliver the best experience possible, whether on passage or at anchor, with a particular emphasis on maximum comfort in all sea conditions. A conventional propulsion system and two compact MTU 16V2000M72 (1,440 kW) diesel engines will give the #yacht a top speed of 18 knots with a remarkable range of 3,900 nautical miles at 12 knots.

Heesen excels in building lightweight, all-aluminium yachts engineered and built to the finest tolerances. Meticulous weight control ensures outstanding performance in both speed and efficiency.

"Project Setteesettanta sports a fourth deck, a large pool and a low stern, which allowed us to flex our mental muscles to ensure the vessel’s stability,” said Sjoerd van Herk, #heesen Senior Naval Architect. “We are currently finalising the preliminary design, and next month, we will begin the engineering phase. We look forward to the keel laying in September".
