50metre aluminium semi-displacement

satori

What makes a Heesen so distinctive? Custom-built in Holland, it is not just a matter of style but

more importantly, the contemporary application of engineering: the architecture of performance. Our

concept has evolved over 30 years and the experience we have accrued is unlike that of any other

yacht builder in the world. Building in aluminium to enormously demanding tolerances, the Heesen

hull-form is unique quite simply no other ship shape so optimises the way a yacht moves through

water. Meticulous attention to weight reduction results in increased levels of luxury. A Heesen is a

Heesen because we are dedicated to one principle: the performance of luxury.

he rst of the new

50 metre aluminium semi-displacement

series from Heesen, Satori is the ultimate

combination of performance and eciency.

A precisely calculated Heesen hull means

that less power is required to achieve a

given speed and less power means less

fuel used. This makes Satori not only the

fastest yacht of her size and style, but also

the most ecient.

Satori is not just about speed, she is also about space, both inside and on deck. The vast 70 square metre sundeck gives the impression of a

private beach club. A forward custom-built Jacuzzi is entirely surrounded by sunpads and sun loungers. Aft, a huge double-depth sunpad

measures almost the entire width of the yacht. And for those who prefer the shade? A central dining, bar and barbecue area is covered by the

radar arch. Three additional deck spaces include dining on the main and upper decks and a foredeck with seating and a quadruple sunpad.

The upper deck flows from a huge dining terrace through to the sky lounge. The design of this area represents an enormously demanding

concept, a central coffee table bordered by rotating white leather sofas with curved ebony privacy screens effortlessly and silently sliding

across 270 degrees of full-height windows. Heesen worked with the finest interior craftsmen from Sinnex and Oortgiese to ensure that

every aspect of the build met the incredibly exacting standards of the Owner, Rmi Tessier Design and, of course, Heesen.

eective palladium leaf panels with

inset lighting complement the low furniture to emphasise the

ceiling height. An intricate onyx bar back-lit by colour changing

LEDs and a magic mirror television convert the area from sky

lounge into lounge bar.

As well as indeed despite her impressive speed, Satori has the maximum volume under 500GT. The Owner and designer unusually

decided to position the main deck dining area aft of the saloon. With a table that can rise and lower effortlessly, the fully-glazed

circular space is extremely flexible: formal dining, or casual drinks from the onyx bar.

Forward of the dining area is a massive 32,5 square metre saloon. Completely custom-built minimalist interiors use bleached wenge

and spruce offset by detailed textures and finishes such as white leather furniture, hand-woven suede carpets, Mongolian horsehair and

stainless steel curtains, hand-chiselled curved glass and huge panels of high gloss Okavango. Heesens reputation for precision and

attention to detail means designers never need worry about using even the most delicate materials.

In the main deck master suite, low furniture and contrasting materials increase the sense of overall space. Edged in polished steel, palladium

and mirror panelling reects sunlight in three dimensions. Dicult to build, the result looks eortless. In a highly contemporary style, the

entire suite is open-plan. To create privacy the room can be subdivided via concealed sliding doors to separate the study, walk-in wardrobe

and bathroom. A 46 inch television rises to partially ll the opening between the bedroom and bathroom.

Single blocks of white composite stone have been used for the bath and

vanity units. Heesen has unparalleled expertise in weight reduction so

that, even on board an aluminium semi-displacement yacht such as

Satori, designers can create areas of exceptional luxury without adding

unacceptable levels of weight and impacting upon the performance.

DOUBLE GUEST CABIN

On the lower deck, guest cabins include the unusual combination of two full-beam double suites either side of two twin cabins. Like

the master suite, these cabins use low furniture, white leather and panelling in mirror and palladium leaf to reflect natural light and

emphasise volume. Entertainment is totally integrated: mirror televisions spring to life at the touch of a button and iPod docks are

built into ebony side tables.

BRIDGE

eesen has always felt that the quality and

nish of technical and crew areas directly aects the operational

performance of the yacht. The bridge has a carbon-bre control

panel, chocolate leather seating and subtle under-panel lighting.

Spacious crew cabins and a large crew mess create an atmosphere

that encourages everyone to work at their best.

nyone looking to purchase a new yacht from Heesenshould be condent that the quality of the Company

is equal to that of the yachts.The fact that this is the case is due in no small

part to the principles of the founder. Frans Heesenfounded the Company that bears his name in 1978.

THE FUTURE FROM THE PASTWhere most yachts were made from steel,

his yachts were to be built in aluminium. Where most yachts haddisplacement hull-forms for slow, long distance cruising, his yachtswere to use semi-displacement hulls and be performance-driven.

Heesen stands for individuality and quality in a world where theseprinciples are increasingly compromised.

A Heesen will always be hand built by craftsmen in Holland. AHeesen will always be custom-built to combine the Owners ideaswith our expertise. A Heesen will always be the highest denominatorof performance and luxury. A Heesen will always look like a Heesenbecause it performs like a Heesen.

Continuous investment has created one of the most modernconstruction facilities in the world. Great efficiency gives ownerscustom-built yachts using pre-engineered platforms, in a time scaleand to a quality that is unsurpassed.

n 30 years we have delivered over 150 yachts.Our current range of yachts includes aluminium and steel,displacement, semi-displacement and fast displacement hullsfrom 37-65 metres and beyond.

Heesen is recognised as the world leader in aluminiumyachts and our 65 metre fast displacement project is 30 percent more ecient than any other yacht of this size.

Heesen moved into steel production in 2000 as a result ofa specic client request. Indeed 50 per cent of our sales areto existing clients, progressing through options of length,construction material and hull dynamics.

Our Oss shipbuilding complex has nine modern sheds,ve dry docks, over 44.000 square metres of space and themost sophisticated construction programme imaginable:orchestrating the integration of more than four million partsper year.

In 1978 Frans had a visionary idea today it is a companycalled Heesen.
