Heesen Delivers 55m Mega Yacht Laurentia: Heesen has delivered the 55m megayacht formerly known as Project Alida to her owners. Christened Laurentia, the steel-hulled fast displacement hull form (FDFH) motoryacht has exceeded expectation at her seat trials and is now making her way to the Mediterranean.
The megayacht reportedly exceeded her contractual speed in sea trials in the North Sea at the beginning or August, reaching 16.6 knots in moderate sea conditions. The yacht also proved to be highly responsive, accepting steering commands immediately, thanks to the use of large rudders in conjunction with a powerful steering unit.
Frank Laupman of Omega Architects designed her distinctive exterior, which has an angular profile. A unique overhanging angle also lends an interesting characteristic.
At the owner’s request, Roman Alonso of RADYCA, the Miami-based design firm, created an interior design that promotes luxury, relaxation and entertainment throughout the yacht. The objective was to create a clean and simple, but sophisticated interior to evoke tranquility in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere.
Heesen officials indicate that natural hues have been used throughout the yacht through open-grain white oak and different tones of wange, taupe, grey leathers and light textured suedes. A number of darker tones and hand-stitched leathers, however, contrast with those interior light tones.
Loose furniture, carefully selected from a variety of European and American brands, has been carefully customized to perfectly match the interior theme.
