There is a stage late in a build process – be it the final installations in a new house, or an elegant bridge across to the other side of the river, or just any major project – where everybody is working on every final detail. People silent, focused. Intricate drawings, panels open for access, cables, hoses, tools everywhere. It looks like chaos, nothing finished.
Then, one day, the sound of machines at work fade out. Somebody takes a step backwards and looks up. Some people collect their tools, some clean the dust away, others put a few last pieces in place. It is ready.
The PPH is almost there, in a few weeks – after a very long gestation period. An elephant is said to carry its calf for 22 months, and the PPH has taken longer than that.
But before the build even started, her conception took some 3 years (how is that possible? The short explanation is that even much of her DNA had to be created from scratch before starting to build. And why is that? Well, just like elephants are a bit different, she is not much related to other boats)
So, the Heyman 42 PPH # 1, the firstborn, is close to completion. And she is starting to look good. Very good (click images for larger size!)

IN THE OWNER’S STATEROOM:
PPH # 1 is now closely followed by PPH # 2, as seen in one of the images above.
PPH # 3 is next in line, with planning, preparations and many parts ready.
PPH # 4 will start building during autumn.
Interesting times.
Please contact us for details but, with the intense work and interest in the PPH, replies may take a little longer than usual.
