Project 714 Leaves the Shed for Outfitting and Sea Trials
Feadship, the Royal Dutch shipyard renowned for making superyachts more sustainable is preparing to launch Project 714 for outfitting and the final stages before handing it over to the private unnamed owner. Characterized by its distinct Royal blue steel and aluminium superstructure with a sculpted profile optimized to cut through the water, its form and function make a formidable combination.
Naval architecture was carried out by Feadship De Voogt Naval Architects while British designer RWD was responsible for the interior design.

Advanced Electrical Drive Propulsion
The propulsion system developed through the Feadship Advanced Electrical Drive (FAED) program has 4.5 times more electrical storage capacity than Feadship's first hybrid yacht, Savannah.
Zero Drive Shafts And Rudders
The propulsion and steering are delivered by two contra-rotating thrusters that eliminate the need for traditional drive shafts and rudders, reducing drag and enhancing efficiency.
Minimal Vibrations and Noise
Premium levels of comfort have been achieved through paying close attention to minimising noise levels through redesigning the propellers and appendages reducing both the underwater noise levels and the interior sound levels for a quiet onboard experience attributed to the fully resilient-mounted anchor winch foundation, featuring optimized chain routing.

Utilizing Recycled Metals Within Superyacht Construction
Feadship is mid-transition to lower impact steel and aluminum, raw materials of equivalent strength generating 60 percent less greenhouse gasses during their manufacture by utilizing recycled metals. The transition to very low greenhouse gas impact steel and aluminum will be complete in 10-15 years, dramatically increasing superyacht construction sustainability as these materials become more generally available and integrated within the component product supply chain.
