"TT Norn": Mini frigate as a shuttle with eye-catching lines from Yachtwerft Meyer

When this saloon tender lands in the relevant yachting hotspots, the question of the mother ship becomes superfluous. Apparently, Espen Øino's 90-metre design recently delivered by Lürssen has been scaled down to 10.20 metres and refined. "Norn" looks more like a frigate than a yacht and has almost only edges and hardly any curves. This design credo is also reflected in the dinghy from Yachtwerft Meyer, with the shipyard's own design team responsible for the creative transfer. The flat bow is an almost one-to-one copy, looks like a battering ram and seems ready to split the sea in two at any time. The protective shield made of polished stainless steel on the lower stem blends in perfectly with the martial overall look.

Sit comfortably on board the "TT Norn" even in rough seas

The little one has also taken over the evil eye from the big one. The reason for this is that the Meyer yachtyard team has the roof overhanging black panes at the front. In front of this is the tender captain's steering position, which moves the GRP model a good deal faster than the steel-aluminium displacer. The Bremen tender manufacturer, which also produces composite parts for Megas and Gigas, installed a Volvo D6-440 with Z-drive and 324 kilowatts of power in "TT Norn", which enables transfers at a maximum speed of 40 knots. Twelve guests take their seats on light grey leather seats in air-conditioned surroundings, where they sit comfortably even at slow speeds and in rough seas thanks to a gyro stabiliser from Quick. Rolling motions are also prevented when the boat is stationary, for example when boarding aft, sideways or via the folding windscreen on board.
