Poland has a new heavyweight and the nation’s new flagship is set to hit the water next month. Ace, as she’s been dubbed, is the first unit from Conrad Yachts‘ 44.27-metre C144S line.
Ace is a true work of European collaboration, as her exterior design was penned by the British studio Reymond Langton Design, her naval architecture penned by the Netherlands’ Diana Yacht Design, and her interior spaces curated by the Milanese m2atelier. Conrad Yachts, the Poland-based builder handled her construction.
With 494 GT and five staterooms, ACE can comfortably accommodate as many as 10 guests. She can also carry nine crew. She’s constructed out of steel and aluminium for her hull and superstructure, and equipped with twin CAT engines. The series is charactorised by a straight bow.
In terms of performance, it’s expected that the superyacht ACE will be able to reach speeds of up to 13 knots. When cruising at 10 knots, it’s likely that her range will be around 4,000 nautical miles.
Ace was commissioned by a Swiss owner, and she’ll be followed by two more units from the series. Conrad Yachts is already underway with the second C144S, scheduled for delivery in 2023. The third unit from the model line is on the market, listed with SuperYachtsMonaco and Denison Yachting.
