55-METRE , PROJECT VENUS
Overview : Project Venus is the latest in the 55-metre Steel Series .
Performance : Thanks to her steel Fast Displacement Hull Form ( FDHF ), Project Venus is not only extremely efficient throughout her speed range but offers superb stability and comfort in all sea conditions . Two MTU4000 M63 ( IMO Tier III ) propel her to a maximum speed of 15.5 knots and provide a transatlantic range of 4,500 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 13 knots .
Design : With bold and muscular exterior lines by Frank Laupman of Omega Architects , this yacht stands out on the water for her sturdy yet elegant profile . She is large enough to offer plenty of outdoor and indoor areas for relaxing , socialising and enjoying life on board , and yet not too big to access all the most charming harbours in the Mediterranean .
