Perini Navi Group: the hull of the first sailing yacht in the 60m series has arrived
in Viareggio.
Hull C.2193, the first of the two yachts sold in the new-generation series of 60m sailing yachts built by Perini Navi, has arrived in Viareggio.
The hull and superstructure in aluminium were built in the Perini Istanbul-Yildiz
shipyard, the Group’s Turkish base. Finishing, launching and delivery,
scheduled for summer 2013, will all take place at Perini Navi’s base in Viareggio.
The new hull lines, that can be seen as a natural evolution of Perini’s 56m
series, guarantee speed, comfort and ample spaces for living both indoors and
out. Hull and superstructure in aluminium make for a gross tonnage of under
500 tons and a displacement of approximately 570 tons.
The ketch C.2193, designed by Perini Navi’s naval architects in collaboration
with New Zealander Ron Holland, will have a sail control system designed by
Perini Navi and a lifting keel that goes from 4 to 9.79m.
During the coming year the second yacht in the 50m aluminium series will be
delivered in May and the first yacht in the 40m fast cruising line will be delivered at the end of the summer.
The Perini Navi Group is also currently constructing the third yacht in the 60m
series and a 38m yacht in their Racing Line. Both these yachts could be ready
for delivery in less than two years.
