Heesen delivers 60-metre full-custom MY Lusine

Heesen is delighted to announce the delivery of MY Lusine, YN 19360, previously known as Project Falcon. During intensive tests in the North Sea, she reached the contractual speed of 17,5 knots with acoustic and vibration performance within the required limits. Powered by two MTU 12V 4000 M65L diesel engines and equipped with full tropical air-conditioning, she has a range of 4,200 nautical miles at 13 knots. Her exterior lines designed by Omega Architects, who have introduced an eye-catching ‘bird’s wing’ motif as a visual enhancement to integrate the main deck, bridge and sundeck without interrupting the horizontal sweep of the windows.

Lusine is now on her way to welcome her owners on board. Captain Varun, who is no stranger to the Heesen family, having previously skippered MY Asya, commented: “I am extremely proud to take delivery of my second Heesen yacht. Lusine is sturdy and gives me great confidence. We tested her in sea state 5 with winds up to 30 knots, and she behaved very well. It is a great privilege to be captain of a custom yacht with such a pedigree. I look forward to sailing her on the high seas!”

At 60 metres in length with an enclosed volume of approximately 1,060 GT, this yacht presented several challenges for which Heesen engineers and craftsmen developed smart solutions to accommodate the Owners’ and their team’s requests. To name a few: she is the first in the world to sport the SCR system alongside the V12s MTU engines, the storage of the Boston Whaler tender in the aft garage with the launching ramp.

Peter van der Zanden, general manager of design, development and engineering at the shipyard, said: “Thanks to the knowledge gained during the evolution of our steel fleet over the years, our engineering and naval architecture teams easily hit all the targets. Lusine is one of the most complex steel yachts we have delivered to date, but our experience helped us find ingenious solutions and presented a solid foundation for intelligent innovation.”

Lusine’s layout is tailored around the owners and their family lifestyle. Twelve guests are accommodated in six staterooms, with the owners’ apartment on the bridge deck aft. The touch-and-go helipad for private use, served by an enclosed air-conditioned reception area, guarantees discreet boarding. Top-notch service is at the core of the layout: separate routing throughout the yacht ensures that the crew can perform their duties seamlessly without disturbing the guests’ relaxation.

Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design created a calm and elegant interior decor that exudes sophistication in its intricate design and unique combination of materials. Lusine is one of the most complex interiors ever crafted by the artisans of Heesen Yachts Interiors, who enjoyed the challenge of working with rare woods, precious fabrics and exquisite leathers.

Lusine is the first yacht delivered by Heesen in 2022. She will be followed later in the year by custom and semi-custom yachts tipping the luxury scales at no less than 3,458 Gross Tons.

EXCLUSIVE: THE 60M HEESEN SUPERYACHT LUSINE DELIVERED FOLLOWING SEA TRIALS

The 60.4-metre  Heesen  superyacht  Lusine , YN19360, has been delivered following successful sea trials in the North Sea where she reached the contractual top speed of 17.5 knots.  Lusine , the first  Heesen  superyacht to be delivered this year, features exterior design from  Omega Architects  who have added an eye-catching 'bird's wing' motif to integrate the main deck, bridge and sundeck without interrupting the horizontal sweep of the windows.

Captain Varun, who has previously skippered the 47-metre  Heesen  superyacht  Asya , commented, "I am extremely proud to take delivery of my second  Heesen  yacht.  Lusine  is sturdy and gives me great confidence. We tested her in sea state five with winds up to 30 knots, and she behaved very well. It is a great privilege to be captain of a custom yacht with such a pedigree. I look forward to sailing her on the high seas!"

Lusine  has a volume of 1,060 GT and the owner challenged the  Heesen  team to develop new solutions in engineering, namely that she is the first in the world to sport the SCR system alongside the V12s  MTU  engines, the storage of the Boston Whaler tender in the aft garage with the launching ramp.

Peter van der Zanden, general manager of design, development and engineering at the shipyard, said, "Thanks to the knowledge gained during the evolution of our steel fleet over the years, our engineering and naval architecture teams easily hit all the targets.  Lusine  is one of the most complex steel yachts we have delivered to date, but our experience helped us find ingenious solutions and presented a solid foundation for intelligent innovation."

Designed internally by  Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design , the superyacht can accommodate as many as 12 guests between six staterooms, and  Heesen  has reported that it the design is one of the most intricate that its craftsmen and artisans have ever created. Top features include an owner's apartment on the bridge deck and a touch-and-go helipad served by an enclosed reception area to guarantee discreet boarding. Yachting photographers have captured the yacht as she made her way through the Netherlands over the last few days, first on route to her sea trials, and then leaving the Netherlands for her delivery.

Since her delivery,  Lusine  has cruised to London where she has been captured at the International Cruise Terminal.

Heesen Yachts ‘Lusine’ Reviewed

• By Phil Draper
• May 19, 2023

The Armenian word lusine translates to “moon” in English. That’s why, aboard the 198-foot Heesen Lusine , lunar and celestial themes are everywhere, from wall features to the teak decking. A crescent moon, for instance, is in the middle of the helipad. Even the font of the yacht’s name runs from thin to thick, reflecting the moon’s four waxing and waning phases.

Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design in the Netherlands created the opulent, almost art deco interior, which Heesen says is by far the most complicated and expensive it has ever produced. Initially, the yacht’s owner was inspired by Heesen’s then-Project Ceres (which launched as Galactica ), but he ended up developing a fully custom vessel. At 1,079 gross tons, and based on a Fast Displacement Hull Form by Dutch naval architecture firm Van Oossanen, Lusine is Heesen’s longest and biggest-volume steel-hull yacht to date. The overall design process was led by Frank Laupman’s team at the Dutch firm Omega Architects.

Lusine’s profile fuses contemporary and modern styling to stunning effect. While the bow is conventionally pointed, the superstructure is more angular and extends a little farther forward than usual. The high foredeck terrace is vast and capable of hosting quite a party. The bridge-deck wing stations are exaggerated to create much wider side decks, and there is a hint of a bird’s wing amidships in the superstructure relief that cleverly integrates all the upper three decks without actually breaking the horizontal sweeps of glass along the main and upper decks.

Not only is the craftsmanship throughout Lusine exceptional, but the level of detailed design goes way beyond the norm as well. For instance, almost every piece of furniture is custom-size, and the breathtaking parquet soles, rich joinery and intricate marquetry are made from rare woods, special stones, and unusual leathers and skins, such as stingrays and puffer fish. One of the biggest design statements is the yacht’s circular staircase and glass elevator connecting all four decks, with a contoured leather mural depicting sea, land, air and then star themes as guests rise from the yacht’s lower deck to the top deck.

Lusine’s main-deck gathering spaces are conventional enough. Entering from the cockpit seating and dining space, the main-deck salon has lounge and dining areas aft, with an amidships galley and pantry to port. A companionway to starboard leads to the formal, double-glass-door entrance and to a side-boarding ladder beyond. The double-pedestal, cornice-topped dining table has radial Macassar veneers inlaid with gold leaf, blue agate and sycamore. The custom chandelier above is from Preciosa.

Accommodations are for 16 guests in eight en suite staterooms: three with double berths on the upper deck and five with twin berths on the lower deck. The lower-deck staterooms can also be used by personal staff.

The 540-square-foot owners’ stateroom is aft on the upper deck, where many other yachts have a sky lounge. Views from here are fabulous, with a 180-degree panorama to the sides and across the upper deck’s aft lounges, dining area and hot tub. The whole space can be secured for owner privacy.

Forward on the main deck is the L-shaped VIP stateroom, conceived for close family. It has an en suite double-berth stateroom and an adjacent en suite twin-berth stateroom. Both open onto a starboard-side private sitting room, which connects to the yacht’s main lobby.

The crew complement is 15. A captain’s cabin is to port abaft the modern, paperless bridge, with the remainder of the crew cabins forward on the lower deck.

Lusine has room for three Boston Whaler tenders: a 270 Vantage, a 210 Dauntless and a 180 Dauntless. The smallest and largest are housed with various toys in a forward garage, which has hinge-up doors to either side of the bow. The 210 is kept in the stern garage with more toys.

For air arrivals, a touch-and-go helipad is on the after end of the top deck. Interestingly, the area around the mast base and at the top of the central staircase is enclosed to create an alternative foyer for guests arriving this way. The space includes a pilot’s cabin.

Propulsion is twin 2,575 hp MTU 12V 4000 M65L diesels, which reportedly deliver a top speed around 18 knots and an ocean-straddling 4,200-nautical-mile range at 13 knots. Twin Naiad fins provide stabilization, and onboard power comes primarily from twin 315 kW Zenoro generators. The yacht’s air conditioning is built to high-tropical specification.

Lusine embodies all the knowledge and experience that Heesen has amassed by delivering more than 80 metal motoryachts with an average length of 155 feet in the past 20 years. The yard consistently delivers around four big yachts annually—not tied to the four phases of the moon but stellar nonetheless.

A coffee table in the main salon contains a small slice of lunar meteorite. A few of these rare rocks have been found on Earth and matched forensically with samples brought back from NASA’s Apollo missions. Scientists believe that the rocks arrived in debris showers following crater-creating events. A meteorite with proven provenance is the closest thing to a moon rock that money can buy; the real ones are owned by U.S. government agencies. 

Now for Sale

Sadly, Lusine’s owner died right around the time the yacht was delivered. It’s now listed for sale “as new” with Burgess and is lying in the West Mediterranean. The asking price at press time was $82 million.

Ever Larger

Lusine is Heesen’s largest steel-hull motoryacht to date, but the yard’s largest project so far is the semi-displacement, all-aluminum, 263-foot, 1,700-gross-ton Galactica , which departed the Oss, Netherlands, yard in early 2022. Galactica is also reportedly the world’s largest and fastest motoryacht with a conventional shaft-line propulsion. Heesen says the vessel is capable of 29 knots, with four MTU 20V 4000 series engines.

Busy Builder

Heesen mostly builds semi-custom projects on common platforms. In recent years, most have been fast-displacement or semi-displacement hulls in steel/aluminum or all aluminum, but, occasionally, there’s a full-displacement steel/aluminum or all-aluminum project in the mix. Lusine is a good example of its steel-hull yachts.

Heesen delivers 60m Lusine, its first of 2022

The yard shares news of its first delivery in what is predicted to be its best year since 2011….

Netherlands-based Heesen has announced the delivery of 60m Lusine .

The 1,060 GT vessel is powered by two MTUt 12V 4000 M65L diesel engines and has a range of 4,200 nautical miles and 13 knots with a top speed of 17.5 knots. Lusine is also the first superyacht to sport the SCR system alongside the V12 MTU engines. It can accommodate up to 12 guests in six rooms with 15 crew. 

Peter van der Zanden, general manager of design, development, and engineering at Heesen, said, "Thanks to the knowledge gained during the evolution of our steel fleet over the years, our engineering and naval architecture teams easily hit all the targets. Lusine is one of the most complex steel yachts we have delivered to date, but our experience helped us find ingenious solutions and presented a solid foundation for intelligent innovation."

The vessel has recently completed tests in the North Sea carried out by Captain Varun who said, "I am extremely proud to take delivery of my second Heesen yacht. Lusine is sturdy and gives me great confidence. We tested her in sea state five with winds up to 30 knots, and she behaved very well."

The exterior was designed by Omega Architects, who have introduced a “bird's wing” motif as a visual enhancement to integrate the main deck, bridge and sundeck without interrupting the horizontal sweep of the windows. Sinot Yacht Architecture and Design created the interior decor which provided Heesen Yachts Interiors with the challenge of working with rare woods, precious fabrics, and leathers.

Lusine is the first of six Heesen superyachts scheduled for delivery in 2022, which would be the yard’s best year for deliveries since 2011. By the end of 2024 the builder will have delivered a total LOA of 1,924m since 2015 and 21,439 of GT.

LUSINE is for sale.

Published 27 September 2022

The award-winning 60.6m (200ft) motor yacht LUSINE has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure constructed to Lloyd’s classification and MCA compliance. She was delivered by Heesen in 2022, making her a brand-new yacht available to purchase now.

The exteriors of this 1,079GT yacht are by Omega Architects and Sinot Exclusive Yacht Design conceived her interiors. As the owner’s representative during the build, we know the yacht inside and out and were not at all surprised when she was acclaimed ‘Best custom yacht of the year’ by World Yacht Trophies 2022.

She has a touch-and-go helipad on the aft sun deck and inside sliding glass doors is a dayhead, elevator serving all decks and a spiral staircase. Forward is a twin suite with its own private terrace.

The bridge deck aft is a private terrace with raised jacuzzi, sun loungers, sofa seating and club chairs. The terrace serves the full-beam, aft-facing owner’s suite, which has his-and-hers bathrooms with a shared walk-in wardrobe in between, vanity table, chaise-longue and large drop-down TV.

The main deck aft is a spacious entertainment area with open-air dining shaded by the overhang, sit-up bar and buffet area plus two large TVs.

Aft is a banquette sun lounge and steps lead down either side to an expansive swim platform with deck shower and a tender and toy garage with dayhead.

The starboard sidedeck leads to steps where guests can access the forward upper deck, where there is a very large space with sunpads and a lounge area for informal dining. Stern-to in port, this is a private space for guest use.

Inside the main saloon the décor showcases light and dark woods, parquet flooring and pops of blue in glass sculptures and artworks. Moving inside from the aft deck there is a gaming table, lounge seating and forward is a formal dining area.

She welcomes up to 16 guests in eight cabins, all en suite. There are four twin cabins on the lower deck, a full-beam VIP suite on the main deck with its own lounge as well as another twin cabin, the owner’s suite and the sun deck twin suite.

Twin 2,655hp MTU diesel engines give her a top speed of 17.5 knots, and a transoceanic range of 4,200nm at her passage speed of 13 knots, with stabilisers ensuring a smooth ride. As well as the lazarette tender garage, she has stowage for two further tenders, the largest being 8.2m (27ft), behind main deck shell doors.

We are very pleased to present this yacht to market with an asking price of USD 82,000,000. LUSINE is on display at the Monaco Yacht Show where she will be available for pre-booked inspection. Please contact your Burgess broker for more detail or to arrange a visit.

Heesen Yachts’ Lusine is A Modern Classic

BY Andrew Dembina on 23 Jan 2023

The lunar-inspired 60m Lusine by detail-orientated Dutch shipyard Heesen Yachts performs as smartly as it looks

With a volume of 1,079 tonnes, Lusine’s all-steel displacement hull, honed by Heesen Yachts naval architects, enables its twin MTU diesel engines to reaches a top speed of 17.5 knots, and at a cruising speed of 13 knots, the yacht has a range of 4,200 nautical miles.

“This is a design that represents next-level shipbuilding for Heesen ,” says its Dutch architect and yacht designer Frank Laupman, founder of Omega Architects , who has more than a hundred yacht designs under his belt to date. “It takes an existing signature concept and customises it to a unique extent, from the height of the furniture backs, which have been lowered from standard to ensure unimpeded views, to the touch-and-go helipad on the top aft sundeck, which also doubles as a sports area.”

Exterior lines integrate the main, bridge and sun decks without interrupting the bold, horizontal sweep of the tinted windows. “That meant pushing the optical centre of gravity forward, including the mast, to accommodate a closed deck,” explains Laupman. The resulting expansive aluminium superstructure of the Lusine makes the boat immediately recognisable.

“This is a design that represents next-level shipbuilding for Heesen.” – yacht designer Frank Laupman, Omega Architects

Lusine means “ Moon ” in Armenian, and this superyacht takes its overall design cue from lunar mythology. The name reflects an exterior that’s an exercise in balance and harmony; the yacht’s logo is a waning crescent moon, and there are rounded silhouettes throughout, repeated in furniture shapes and inset exterior lighting.

The yacht’s outdoor deck space is sheltered from the elements by the cantilever of the bridge deck overhead, and the aft terrace acts as an extension of the owner’s 50sqm stateroom. The main deck’s sizeable 77sqm aft terrace incorporates an informal wet bar.

The interiors of Lusine have Art Deco-inspired elements, including polished wood veneers, steel lines and marble inlays, within a layout that maintains an optical sense of the yacht’s airy spaciousness and length. Heads and bathrooms contain 1920s voyage trunk-style cabinetry topped by generous onyx counters (see below).

An indoors highlight is the polished stripe-grained Macassar ebony dining table, featuring two ‘lazy Susans’ crafted in hammered bronze and agate. A games tabletop is inset with a lunar meteorite, a nod to the majesty of the natural world.

Interior designer Paul Costerus, a partner at Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design, also in Holland, incorporated several other custom elements requested by the owner. Unusually, every guest en-suite stateroom features extra-wide single beds, to better comfortably accommodate family and friends (see below). Cabins feature joinery with automatic locking devices, for passengers’ peace of mind.

Two tender garages – one at the swim platform, the other positioned forward – each hold a Boston Whaler tender, as well as Jetskis and other marine toys.

Shunning contemporary trends in favour of timeless appeal, the interiors of Lusine blend understatement with a few statement elements, custom details and precision engineering. Her design is both a homage to the grand tradition of yachting and an opportunity to push the boundaries of interior architecture.

Two years in the conception and nearly four years in build, this thoughtfully crafted yacht blends custom detailing with precision engineering, resulting in a modern yacht with timeless appeal.

Following his death, the owner’s family put Lusine and his second yacht—the 237-foot Espen Øino-designed Albatross —up for sale. Robb Report was aboard Lusine in September during a short cruise from Monaco to St Tropez.

Lusine —meaning moon in Armenian—is defined by its sleek and sporty exterior. Designer Frank Laupman of Omega Architects placed a significant emphasis on spending time outdoors with family. A sun lounge and al-fresco dining area for 10 guests was designed into the aft main deck and shaded by an overhang, while also including a refreshment center and two large televisions. On the forward upper deck is another large social area with sun pads and lounge area for informal dining.

On the sun deck, a touch-and-go helipad is personalized with a crescent moon symbol, which replaces the H found on standard helipads. This detail, specified by the owner, is found on the floors of all the exterior decks.

Minimal furniture makes the sun deck highly flexible, serving as a dance floor, yoga deck or sun lounge to suit a new owner’s needs.

The helm is not necessarily a social spot, but there are lounges where guests can watch the skipper and his team at work at the advanced helm. “ Lusine operates as a completely paperless yacht, meaning all charts and maps are digital,” Captain Varun Raju told Robb Report .

In fact, the only charts found on board are in the wall art in the near full-beam main salon. Made from blue agate and straw marquetry, they depict celestial constellations. It is also here where the boat’s “moon stone” is located—a meteorite inlay in the main salon coffee table, surrounded by palladium leaf. “This is the closest I will get to touching something from space,” mused Varun.

Penned by Sinot Yacht Design, the interior dazzles with more than 180 rare woods, precious fabrics and exquisite materials. Versailles-patterned oak floors, crystal chandeliers by Precision lighting and gold-leaf and white-onyx sideboards bring the bling. Puffer fish and stingray skins line the walls. Clocks of all shapes and sizes are found in every room to symbolize the owner’s mantra that “time is precious.”

“He was a details man who drilled down on every aspect of the design,” says Paul Costerus of Sinot. The owner met with Sinot at least a dozen times, bringing hundreds of samples for every possible material for Lusine , and showing the design team exactly what he wanted—from the heights of the furniture to specific nooks near the bed for storing his reading glasses, to the height and depth of bathroom cabinets to ensure towels with a specific thread-count would fit.

Spaces were large and the volume of materials made everything feel hugely tactile. I wanted to reach out and touch the walls and finishes.

As one would expect, the owner also thought hard about crew service to minimize disruption to guests. On his yacht, guests had pride of place. A central-atrium elevator transports the owners and guests from the lower deck to the sun deck. The elevator is beautiful, but the the multi-deck 3D-leather artwork by British artist Helen Amy Murray surrounding is more impressive. It reflects three dimensions of nature: the lower deck shows underwater marine life, above is illustrated with birds and clouds, and at the top, celestial moon and stars.

On the dedicated owner’s deck is a full-beam suite with king-sized bed, his-and-her bathrooms and a study. At the touch of a button, the master suite windows frost, creating a fully private haven. The owner’s private deck has lounge seats that face the stern, with an on-deck jacuzzi. The area is also set up for intimate private dining.

The VIP suite with private office is located on the same floor, with a marble ensuite and underfloor heating. There are also four lower deck twin cabins.

On the lower deck, a full-beam swim platform with an on-deck shower is where guests access the water. There is also a tender and toy garage with a day-head. An additional forward tender garage holds a jet ski and two tenders, including a 270 Dauntless Boston Whaler. Gull-wing doors mean the tenders can easily be launched from the side.

Lusine ‘s owner wanted the boat to be a social haven, inside and out, that would be used often by family and friends. In the end, he accomplished that mission.

The fountains of Peterhof

#Attractions #Peterhof #Sightseeing #Parks

One of the main distinguishing features of the Peterhof fountains is the original arrangement of a conduit. Unlike Versailles, this grandiose construction works without pumps and other water-pressure facilities. Water is supplied from numerous natural and artificial ponds, nourished by underground sources and springs.

The Grand cascade

At first, Peter I had planned the ponds of the Upper garden to be the water source for the Grand cascade and its fountains, but soon the tireless ruler, who personally investigated the area, found additional sources of water, which situated in the neighborhood of the future Peterhof Park. The nature of the terrain enabled the creation of a system of conduits, in which the water flowed by gravity from dozens of ponds, located above the Lower Park and the Upper garden.

Thus, all 4 cascades, and 191 Peterhof fountains (including the Grand cascade water cannons) are fed by ponds of Ropshinsky hills (which are located at a distance of 24 kilometres), as well as English, Meadow, Olgin and other ponds (18 ponds overall) and many streams and sources. All of these sources combine into a complex system of sluices and canals with total length of 40 kilometers. The most surprising fact is that the system of water pipelines constructed by the order of Peter I and with his personal participation operates to this day.

“The most notable of all the Peterhof fountains is spectacular and majestic Grand cascade”

The most notable of all the Peterhof fountains is spectacular and majestic Grand cascade. This gilded splendor includes 255 sculptures, bas reliefs and other architectural structures, as well as 64 fountains with 138 water jets soaring skyward. The focus of the entire composition is the famous gilded “Samson tearing the lion’s mouth”, and in the center of the cascade there is a Lower grotto with a viewing point decorated with golden sculptures and marble bas-reliefs.

Another cascade fountain, named Checkerboard hill, looks like a bright spot on green background. 20-meter speed checker board with two mysterious caves that are guarded by three dragons is sometimes also called the Cascade of dragons. On both sides of the construction there are staircases, decorated with sculptures of white marble. At the beginning of the World War II, the sculptures had been removed and hidden, while the cascade itself was completely destroyed by the Nazis.

The “Favorite” fountain

Like many years ago, the moving fountains are extremely popular among the visitors of Peterhof Park. These include the “Favorite” fountain, created in 1725. It depicts quacking ducks floating in a circle, and a little dog that unsuccessfully tries to catch them. It is a good sign if you lucky enough to throw your coin right at the duck’s back and if the coin remains there. So despite its modest size, park staff daily extracts a lot more coins from the “Favoirte” than from any other Peterhof fountain.

Today Peterhof is the most popular of all the Petersburg suburbs. Its palaces and fountains impress the most sophisticated travelers. Each of Peterhof fountains is a jewel in its unique and luxurious collection. If you want to find yourself in a dreamland, come to Peterhof and take a walk in its enchanting parks among fabulous fountains.
