Grace E arrives in New York City
Grace E, the 73m Picchiotti branded motor yacht built by the Perini Navi Group, recently crowned Motor Yacht of the Year at the World Superyacht Awards, has arrived in the Big Apple.
Our friend Onne van der Wal has taken some shots of her passing by the Statue of the Liberty and 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, Grace E 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 features e.g. 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.
