But that’s okay, since Asean Lady’s owner, Brian Chang, also owns the yard. Asean Lady is a motoryacht version of a proa, which is an outrigger canoe used for centuries in the South Pacific. Because the proa hull form is so efficient, the yacht can reportedly cruise at 15 knots on just one engine driving a steerable, retractable stern thruster. Chang is an experienced yachtsman whose previous yacht was a traditional-looking 158-footer. B: Yantai-Raffles Shipyard, China; N: Ian Mitchell; H: Steel; E: 1/2,000-hp Caterpillar
