General Arrangement

CLOSE COOPERATION

The great relationship with the owners have been at the heart of this project, which has taken our Raised Pilothouse to new heights of sophistication. The all-new interior for Helga revolves around their choice for a layout with a spacious main salon and large seating area in the wheelhouse, with a galley forward. The decision to place the dining facilities in the wheelhouse frees up space in the saloon for the sofas and chairs, enhancing the cosy family lounge feel.

PROPULSION POWER

Another choice that owners have with the Raised Pilothouse is between a Volvo Penta IPS system with counter-rotating forward-facing propellers or a shaft-driven propulsion system. The owners of Helga have opted for twin 12-cylinder MTU engines, giving an estimated top speed of 27 knots.
