Italian superyacht builder Perini Navi has sold a third in their 60 metre series. First came Seahawk a ketch that showed a clean pair of heels to those following in her wake at the last edition of the Perini Navi Cup. Then came Perseus^3 a super sloop version that was especially commissioned by a competitive owner and now a third has been ordered for a delivery in 2017
This aluminium sailing yacht will be the third in the most recent Series of Blue Water Sailing Yachts developed with the specific aim of creating a performance oriented line with uncompromised comfort, safety and accommodations enclosed within a gross tonnage of under 500 GT.
She will enjoy the same innovative sleek hull lines and technological solutions that guarantee speed and performance under sail, results seen on the two previous 60 m vessels delivered over the past 2 years.
Created by The Perini Navi Design Team, the 60m Series naval architecture is optimized in collaboration with Ron Holland and features the latest generation of Perini Navi Sail Handling System Technology.
Fabio Boschi, Chairman of Perini Navi said, “In a very competitive market situation for large sailing yachts, this sale once again represents an impressive achievement for our Company, of which we are extremely proud”.
Managing Director of Sales, Marketing and Design, Burak Akgül, added: “As a further confirmation of our conviction in the value of the 60m Series, I can confirm a fourth hull is already under construction on spec”.
The current production plan at Perini Navi includes: the 70m ketch Sybaris, the 38m sloop C.2130, the new 60m ketch announced above and spec built hull #4 in the 60m Series.
