Perini Navi: the hull of the 60m SY C.2193 is now upright
Perini Navi: the hull of the 60m SY C.2193 is now upright
The aluminium hull of C.2193, the first of two yachts in the new generation of
60m sailing yachts sold by Perini Navi, was turned at their Perini
IstanbulYildiz shipyard.
The 92 tonne hull stands out for being the heaviest turned to
date at the Group’s Turkish shipyard and the occasion of the turning has
offered an opportunity to admire the lines of a hull which is the natural
evolution of the 56m Perini series. This hull guarantees speed, extreme
comfort and ample living spaces both indoors and outdoors.
The aluminium hull and superstructure will result in a full load displacement
of approximately 570 tonnes for a less than 500 gross tonnes vessel. The
hull will soon be transferred to the Perini Navi Viareggio shipyard for outfitting
scheduled to be completed for delivery in early summer 2013.
The C.2193 ketch, designed by Perini Navi naval architects in collaboration
with New Zealander Ron Holland, will also be the first vessel equipped with
new generation Perini Navi sail handling equipment and a centreboard
varying the draught from 9.79m to 4.00m.
Works will continue without pause at the Perini Istanbul-Yildiz shipyard where
the construction of the second 60m yacht sold by Perini Navi, a sloop
numbered C.2218, has already begun in anticipation of delivery scheduled
for the year 2014. At the same time, work on the 40m fast cruising cutter is
also proceeding apace and delivery is scheduled to take place in Turkey by
the end of summer 2012. As for motor yachts, construction of the 73m
Picchiotti yacht from the Vitruvius® series, the third motor yacht sold by the
Perini Navi Group, continues in Perini Istanbul-Yildiz and in early 2012 the
hull will be transferred for outfitting and completion in La Spezia with delivery
due in 2013.
