Heesen Yachts launch Blind Date

YN 14347 Blind Date is sister ship to YN 12247 Yalla Heesen Yachts have announced the launching of the fifth vessel in the 47-Metre displacement range, whose design resulted from the close collaboration of Heesen Yachts’ in house naval architects and Frank Laupman from Omega Architects, who conceived her stream-lined exterior design with its pelican beak bow – the negative sheer style that is Heesen’s trademark.



(2004), YN 13147 Let it Be (2006), 13547 Mon Plaisir (2007), and YN 14047 Elandess (2008). She sports some major differences from her sister vessels, including: a wheelhouse deck extension that contains a gymnasium; a staircase connecting her four decks; and a unique panel by artists Based Upon, that incorporates fibre optics within a liquid metal underwater scene cast in high-relief. In addition, the windows of the owner’s suite have been doubled in size to deliver a total of 12.5 sqm of natural light to the bedroom and study.

Blind Date will be delivered in September 2009 after intensive sea trials in the North Sea.
