Heesen is delighted to announce the delivery of the 50m YN18250 yacht WHITE to her owners.

WHITE underwent extensive sea trials in the North Sea in good weather conditions with waves up to half a metre where she proved to be very responsive, instantaneously responsive to steering commands thanks to the large rudders and the power steering unit. The yacht can be navigated with ease and confidence thanks to the combination of powerful bot thruster and the propellers optimised for her speed range even in windy conditions.

WHITE is powered by two MTU 2,880kW engines, exceeding her contractual top speed of 23 knots. The vibration tests also proved the yacht to be exceptionally quiet.
