Mr and Mrs Frans Heesen, the Owners of Lady Petra commented: “We are truly honoured to have received this prestigious recognition for Lady Petra. My wife and I have built more than 150 yachts for many di erent clients and we had the chance to create our own dream yacht after we retired. This has been tailored around our needs and those of our extended family. We are very grateful to all the people who have worked so strenuously to build this magnifi cent vessel: this award would have not been possible without their contribution!” The judges must have been impressed with Lady Petra’s unusual and innovative layout.
