The new hybrid from Heesen Yachts, Project Nova, will deliver incredibly low fuel
At 12 knots, for example, it will drink just 98 litres of fuel. A traditionally-designed yacht of the same dimensions (Project Nova comes in at 50 metres) would put away 130 litres/hour, a good 30% more.
The naval design of the new Heesen Yachts project bears the stamp of Van Oossanen Naval Architects while Sander Sinot and his studio did the interiors and Frank Laupman of Omega Architects the exteriors. It has a distinctive lateral layout with a plumb bow, stepped aft decks and large swathes of glazing
