Heesen Announces Keel Laying of YN 21350 Project Grace
Heesen Yachts marks a significant milestone with the keel laying of Project Grace, a 50-meter Fast Displacement Hull Form (FDHF) steel yacht, representing the inaugural model in their new 50-meter series unveiled at last year's Monaco Yacht Show.The keel laying ceremony was attended by a Lloyd’s Register surveyor, signifying the official launch of this innovative vessel. In a meticulous process designed to maintain quality, all Heesen steel hulls are welded off-site, preventing cross-contamination with aluminum production. Heesen collaborates closely with Talsma, a respected shipyard in Friesland, known for its maritime excellence. This partnership ensures that each hull adheres to Heesen's stringent quality standards, with rigorous quality control protocols throughout the construction process.Heesen employs proprietary construction techniques honed over years of experience within the Talsma facility, optimizing production efficiency and ensuring exceptional hull quality. Once the steel hull is finished, it will be transported via rivers and canals to Heesen's shipyard in Oss for engine room installation and outfitting, aligning with Heesen’s exacting Dutch standards of excellence.For the design of this new 50-meter Steel Series, Heesen has taken a holistic approach, engaging British studio Harrison Eidsgaard for both the exterior and interior aesthetics. With a gross tonnage of 499 GT, Project Grace's Fast Displacement steel hull is engineered for outstanding seaworthiness and comfort in various sea conditions. The design also allows for the optional integration of Heesen’s hybrid propulsion systems, promoting sustainable luxury cruising.“The design of Heesen's 50-meter steel exudes confidence,” remarked Peder Eidsgaard. “It captures the sporty essence of our aluminum yachts while presenting a refined and timeless profile that is built to endure.”Project Grace features sleek, modern lines and low bulwarks that enhance the panoramic views, while full-height windows and the absence of fashion plates flood the interiors with natural light, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The layout prioritizes guest comfort and crew efficiency, boasting separate crew access for discreet service and ample storage for tenders and toys.“The key to a successful layout in a 499 GT yacht lies in simplicity and versatility,” explained Robert Drontmann, Heesen's Sales Director. “We aim to maximize lifestyle space for guests while providing crew with optimal working conditions. Unique features like the infinity pool and a multifunctional coffee table that doubles as an atrium skylight will serve as gathering points. The spacious sundeck will comfortably accommodate up to 20 guests for outdoor dining, emphasizing hospitality as a core element of the yachting experience.”YN 21350, Project Grace, is currently available for sale, with delivery anticipated in Q1 2027.Heesen Yachts is a Dutch ship building company that specializes in custom-built superyachts in aluminum and steel from 30m to 70m in size.
