Feadship superyacht Savannah in Alesund, Norway

The Feadship steel and aluminium superyacht Savannah recently underwent seatrials in the North Sea on the 18th March. In the following video from Kees Torn, she can be seen making her way through the fog in the Hook of Holland.<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Rz6OlvQtyCA" width="560"></iframe>Measuring 83.5 metres in length, she has a beam of 12.5 metres and a draught of 3.95 metres. She features naval architecture and exterior design by De Voogt Naval Architects, with her exteriors being completed in collaboration with CG Design. The French design studio CG Design were also responsible for her interiors.She accommodates up to 12 guests on board as well as a crew of 22. One of her most stand out features is her ‘underwater lounge’ at port side, as well as the aft owner and main deck areas which have been designed a single, extensive inside/outside space.She is powered by one Wärtsilä 9L20C 2,415 hp engine as well as three gensets, batteries, a propellor and pioneering electro-mechanical propulsion platform, making her one of the first eco-friendly motoryachts.By Gemma Fottles

Video of the seatrials of superyacht Savannah

Feadship has released more information about the 83.50-metre Sea Foam metallic green superyacht that was launched on Sunday. The yacht, Savannah, is the first eco-friendly motoryacht, that blends a single diesel engine, three gensets, batteries, propeller, and azimuting pioneering electro-mechanical propulsion platform. This combination offers fuel savings of thirty per cent. Savannah’ exterior has been created in partnership between CG Design and Feadship<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152457/image/large-8a49eb577e367d9f04e16a10bee4aa7b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152457">Savannah has a dynamic hull shape with a very fine entry, and uses just one efficient medium-speed Wärtsilä main engine instead of two higher-rev diesel motors, a single central propeller shaft installation on the centreline and three gensets.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152458/image/large-16b4e9a4225912e6d1e2c03c1fe9c31c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152458">Redundancy is ensured by fitting a large contra-rotating and azimuthing sternthruster just aft of the main propeller. The design of the aft ship allows for a propeller that is forty per cent larger than the norm. Combined with the power supplied by the thruster, the load on the propeller is only half that of a conventional twin screw yacht.“It is not the individual technologies used on Savannah that are new in the yachting world – it is the way they have been combined,” comments the owner’s project manager, Ted McCumber. “Feadship has leveraged on all the options available in the marine industry today to bring this hugely innovative system to completion”.“The possibility to choose between diesel, diesel-electric or fully electric is truly exceptional. Moreover, Savannah is the first yacht in the world to be running with an azipull and a variable pitch propeller. Only Feadship engineering and the rich experience of this yard could have successfully concluded a project of such scope and vision,” McCumber continues.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152459/image/large-dd8b272e2a2272ef664fbb0c93a85925.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152459">Savannah’s aft owner- and main deck areas have been designed as single giant open inside/outside spaces, enclosed by weathertight sliding doors. “The owner of Savannah loves to be at one with the water,” explains McCumber. “This phenomenal design allows him to run from the main salon and dive straight into the sea.”Another spectacular feature on board Savannah, is her ‘underwater lounge’ at port side where guests can watch the fish outside through huge extra strong windows, or turn around and observe the fun and games in the nine-metre swimming pool.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/152460/image/large-35dfe8d19d6a4257ba1b083f324c88ff.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/152460">“Savannah is a yacht full of premiers,” emphasises Feadship director Henk de Vries. “As the first ever hybrid superyacht, she offers incredible flexibility in operations and loading of the power plant. The result is fuel savings of some thirty per cent compared to the best boats that we have launched to date".“The way in which one gigantic propeller has been installed in front with another electrically powered prop in its slipstream has also never been applied on a yacht. A similar system has been used on board passenger ships in Japan, but that is an ‘industrial’ solution, without the attention to comfort required on a Feadship. To achieve this on a superyacht entailed an exceptional degree of cooperation with Wärtsilä and all the other equipment manufacturers”.“Another major innovation is the batteries, which were suggested by the owner. These provide extra speed at the top end, allow proper loading of the generators at any speed and facilitate super-quiet cruising at slow speeds without any engines turning. We have installed Li-ion batteries with no less than one million Watts”.“More than a thousand people have been involved with the creation of Savannah since the contract was signed at the end of 2011. And the tremendous final result once again shows how Feadship is never afraid to venture into uncharted waters.”Savannah will be made available on an exclusive basis for occasional chartering through Feadship Charter.By Maarten Janssen
