The Perini Navi Group sponsors the St Barths Bucket Regatta 2014
Seven Perini Navi yachts will be competing
One again this year the Perini Navi Group will be a partner at one of the most
prestigious regattas in the world, the St Barths Bucket that will be held in the
Caribbean from March 27th to the 30th.
The Viareggio based shipyard will be the best represented at the regatta having
the largest number of their own builds in the fleet. Two of their latest yachts will
be present putting the latest Perini innovations in terms of design and
technology to the test. Seahawk, the first yacht in the Perini 60m series with her
sleek hull lines and new generation Perini Navi captive reel winches and furlers,
and State of Grace, the first yacht in the new performance 40m Fast Cruising
series.
There will be thirty eights yachts total in the fleet that will be racing in the waters
around St Barth. The fleet will be divided into four categories: les Gazelles des
Mers, les Grandes Dames des Mers, Les Mademoiselle des Mers and les
Elegantes des Mers. Perini Navi yachts present will be Seahawk, Zenji, Clan
VIII, State of Grace, Parsifall III, Silencio and Andromeda la Dea. All of the
above will be racing in the Grandes Dames Class. The highest placed Perini
Navi build will be awarded, this year just like in the past, with the Perini Navi
Trophy.
This eagerly anticipated regatta also includes an intense programme of side
events. The first will be the Superyacht Racing Association’s Annual Meeting on
March 26th. Other social events will be held throughout the regatta up until the
final prize giving that will be held on March 30th.
