Envisioned by Vitruvius Yachts designed by Philippe Briand the stunningly beautiful and highly practical Grace E, has sailed past the statue of Liberty to arrive in New York
the 73m Picchiotti branded motor yacht built by the Perini Navi Group, has one several awards in recent months and was featured in a full 24 page review written by us and published in Invictus magazine.
Ace yachting photographer Onne van der Wal has taken some shots of her heading to Manhattan, where she will start her summer program that includes the North-Eastern cost of US followed by the Atlantic crossing.
Her initial target will be a cruise in the Scandinavian seas and then she will make her way down to the Mediterranean waters.
Following on the success of her two predecessors, the often-awarded 50m Exuma and the 55m Galileo G, this yacht features the same hull and superstructure design elements that characterize the series and assure efficient and extreme long range navigation with her unique propulsion characteristics.
Grace E is powered by an advanced new generation diesel-electric propulsion system with two Azipod fixed pitch propellers by ABB.
The system not only allows for major achievements in fuel and power consumption, long range and efficiency but also permits remarkably low noise & vibration results.
