Designed by the internationally respected Vripack Naval Architects according to the so-called ‘LDL-principle’, the slender but powerful 21.45m motor yacht NED 70 by the Dutch builder Ned Yacht focuses on the lines rather than on the volume. The all-aluminium NED 70 yacht offers all luxury one can desire, with an amazing range allowing to cross the Atlantic and pick an anchor bay on Barbados, but also cruise the British east coast or the Dutch ‘Wadden-area’.

The slender shape of the luxury yacht NED 70 is accentuated by the angle of the windows in the wheelhouse and the shape of the stanchions. Her lines are sharp and angular. These contours make the yacht look slender and a little ‘mean’. She is designed according to LDL, in which LDL stands for Low Displacement Length. A modern word, but a principle that is at least one century old.
In the days that engines were not as powerful as they are nowadays it was essential to have a length/width ratio of at least 3:1 to make sure ships were able of good cruising speeds. To make sure that the NED 70 yacht behaves well in waves, the hull is provided with bilge keels and stabilizers that will eliminate rocking in waves. The bilge keels have a second advantage: they make it possible to let the NED 70 easily dry out in tidal areas.

The 21.45m NED 70 yacht by Vripack has two guest cabins in the back of the ship. The owners cabin is situated in the front. The guest cabins are big, each with its own bathroom with a separated toilet and shower compartiment. All horizontal surfaces – including the floors – are finished in Corian. The saloon and the wheelhouse are located in the front part of the ship. This area on board is roomy and light.
The position of the helmsman is central in the middle of the boat. Next to it there is a seat for passengers who want to see what is happening and also two big couches from where one can actively experience what is going on on board and around.

In the saloon the luxurious galley and a big U-shaped dinette are located. One can easily sit here with at least six persons. In the cockpit there are two fixed benches and several moveable hockers, so one can chance the lay-out according to his wishes and needs.
Looking at the transom of the yacht one will notice the specific shape that is meant to keep breaking weaves out of the cockpit. On the flybridge the second helm is located. Also in the middle of the ship and surrounded by three benches where guests can have a seat. At the end of this flybridge the mast is stepped. This provides space for all kinds of antennas and other navigation and communication equipment. Part of this mast is used as a crane to hoist the tender. Both mast and crane can be folded backwards to eliminate the total height of the yacht.
The superstructure of the NED 70 yacht has slanting lines and is provided with dark windows. Both big windows in the sides of the superstructure are constructed in a way that they also provide space to sit down. In front of the superstructure you will find a big hatch where one can store lines, fenders and all kind of other stuff. Nice details on deck are the aluminium bollards and the black stanchions and rails.
The interior of the 21.45m NED 70 yacht is fresh and modern. The outside light is filtered by wengé blinds. The finish of the interior is a combination of white washed oak and wengé details. This finishing gives every piece of furniture in the yacht it’s own final touch. The upper side of the interior is white which intensifies the roomy impression of the inside of this yacht. The ceilings are made of panels with lining. This has a good effect on sound-isolation and is a very nice contrast with the white top-finishing. All seats are covered with grey and white leather. Colourful cushions provide a sparkling contrast.
