Bringing the new Wajer 55 to life: One milestone at a time
From the first pen stroke to the first sea trial, building a Wajer is a journey defined by precision, craftsmanship, and innovation. Each phase brings its own set of milestones, moments that mark real progress in transforming an idea into a real-life Wajer.
One of the most defining moments in the build of any Wajer is the merging of the hull and deck. This is when the yacht truly begins to take shape.
Up untill now, both components were built and finished separately. The hull is constructed and faired in minute detail, while the deck is prepared with all necessary openings and reinforcements.
When two parts become one
Once both elements are ready, the alignment process begins: A delicate operation where every millimeter matters. At our shipyard in Heeg, the marriage is done with meticulous care. The two parts are brought together in a seamless connection. From that moment, the iconic silhouette of the yacht becomes visible for the first time, and what was once a technical assembly becomes something recognisably Wajer.
The merging of the deck and the hull
But that’s just one milestone in a longer journey. Once the hull and deck are joined together, our team continues with the next steps: the installation of systems, the interior fit-out, paintwork, finishing touches and ultimately, extensive testing.
Getting ready for the water
As the new Wajer 55 continues to take shape, we’re approaching the next key milestone: the first sea trial. A moment where everything comes together on open water. Curious? Keep an eye on this Journal for the latest updates from our shipyard.
