The Dutch shipyard Heesen, has finally unveiled their latest superyacht, the 50m Home in Oss, The Netherlands.

Hybrid propulsion technology has marked the yacht as the first of its kind. The Fast Displacement Hull Form utilises efficiency due to the use of aluminium, and above all Heesen’s ability to build to the highest standard while maintaining weight control.

The technicalities lend its ability to be the most efficient, low fuel-burning yacht on the ocean as well as one of the quietest with the option the cruise in complete silence.

Heesen’s in-house naval architects built two sources of power to make this possible; diesel mechanical and diesel electrical.

To prove its blissful benefits, the Dutch shipyard joined forces with Professor and sensory expert, Barry Smith to get an inside view of its advantages.

Barry says, ‘Our research has shown that the brain’s processing of taste is affected by noise, which reduces the tongue’s ability to detect salt, sweet and sour. The beauty of Home is the ability to run at a sound of around 46 decibels – the sound level of softly falling rain – enabling those on board to enjoy food and drink to the full with no diminution of taste.’

Home was designed by Frank Laupman at Omega Architects and styled by Italian designers Cristiano Gatto.
