PROJ ECT ASTER The latest in Dutch yard Heesen’s 50m 5000 Aluminium line, Project Aster combines space and performance in a sleek package. Drawing on the best elements of her six older sister ships, her elegant Italian interior — a quiet and serene haven — uses high-end materials such as woven brocade Foglizzo leathers (a favorite style of Coco Chanel), brushed spruce and steel inserts. A versatile layout with massive internal volumes makes her well suited for the charter market. Build work is well progressed and her new owner can enjoy her as early as next summer.
