Heesen Yachts has delivered YN 19850 MY Book Ends, formerly known as Project Sapphire. The 50-metre Aluminium Semi-displacement Series is the first of its kind below 500 GT to comply with IMO Tier-III regulations.
Book Ends has a top speed of over 23 knots. With a cruising speed of 11 knots, it has a transoceanic range of 3100 nautical miles. Heesen says its performance does not come from brute power, but from smart engineering. An optimised, low-drag, lightweight aluminium hull with a reduced transom depth, brings efficiency gains of around twelve per cent.

Book Ends is the second yacht delivered by Heesen in 2022 so far.
