Keel Laying YN 21150 Project Sophia


Investing in the future of yacht building, Heesen places a strong emphasis on the training of its welders, who are indeed a rare find. Becoming a certified Heesen welder requires over 500 hours of intensive training provided by our specialized training team, ensuring that each weld meets the highest standards of excellence.

For project Sophia’s keel laying, we invited two younger members of our team to perform the ceremonial welding.

Project Sophia features a hard-chine shallow draft hull designed by Heesen’s in-house naval architects. With a draft of only 2.15 metres, thanks to the propeller tunnel recessed into the hull, she is perfect for cruising the crystal-clear water of the Bahamas. The sleek underwater body design enhances efficiency, making Project Sophia 12% more fuel-efficient compared to traditional designs. The two MTU engines, 16V 4000 M65L (IMO Tier III), have also been installed, allowing her to reach a top speed of 23 knots and a transatlantic range of 3,100 nautical miles at 11 knots.
