Formerly known as Project Alida, YN 17755 has been christened Laurentia by her new owners.
Laurentia combines efficiency, performance and style in a design package of 740GT, with elegant lines by Omega Architects.
During August sea trials held in the North Sea in moderate sea conditions, Laurentia exceeded her contractual speed and reached a top speed of 16.6 knots. The vessel proved to be highly responsive, accepting steering commands immediately thanks to large rudders, a powerful steering unit and the high pitch of the propellers.
The Dutch shipyard has stated that Laurentia is a fantastic new addition to the fast growing Heesen fleet and will turn heads wherever she cruises.
The owners appointed Ramon Alonso at RADYCA, a Miami-based design firm, to create an interior design emphasising luxury, relaxation and entertainment throughout the yacht.
