I'm not surprised to hear of this. Whether or not N'havn has the time, due to conventional orders, to develop this is irrelevant IMHO. No matter how cool the concept (and it really is!) reality is that DE drive will be a long time, if ever, in coming to the yacht market due to initial cost and fuel inefficiencies. It is simply not viable yet in small sizes. Another example of big-ship technology currently inappropriate for small boats.
