Heesen Yachts is proud to announce the keel laying of Project Grace, 50m Steel FDHF, the first in the new 50-metre series that Heesen presented last year during the inaugural press conference at the Monaco Yacht Show.
The keel laying took place in the presence of the Lloyd’s Register surveyor. This milestone in yacht construction represents the official beginning of an innovative yacht that exemplifies Heesen’s dedication to excellence in yacht building, combining cutting-edge technology with unparalleled craftsmanship.
All Heesen steel hulls are welded off-site to avoid cross-contamination with its aluminium production. Heesen has a longstanding partnership with Talsma, a highly regarded shipyard in Friesland, a Dutch region renowned for its maritime expertise. This collaboration leverages Talsma’s specialised skills in steel construction, ensuring each hull meets Heesen’s high standards. Stringent quality control protocols are implemented at every stage of the construction process.
