Piacenza Cashmere Yacht Capital Award 2011 given to Fabio Perini
Fabio Perini, founder of the Perini Navi Group, has won the Piacenza
Cashmere Yacht Capital Award 2011, a special award granted in recognition
of the commitment, the involvement and the determination with which the
Perini Navi Group in specific and shipbuilding in Italy in general have today
earned high regard worldwide. The award ceremony was held Saturday
October 1 at Genoa’s Yacht Club Italiano’s prestigious clubhouse.
“Thanks to all of you,” said Cavaliere Fabio Perini during the award
ceremony, “even though I think that the shipyard workers and the staff are
really the people who deserve this award”.
Fabio Perini is the founder of the Perini Navi Group, world leader in the
construction of large sailing yachts. Since the 1980’s the company has been
specialized in the designing, engineering and marketing of large sailing
yachts built for “easy sailing”. This Perini Navi philosophy calls for large
yachts that can be handled easily by minimal crew thanks to a series of
innovative systems that allow for totally automated sail handling. In 2007 the
Group also began to build motor yachts with the brand name Picchiotti.
The award ceremony, organized by the Italian magazine Yacht Capital, a
publication that has always kept the promotion of Italian shipbuilding abroad
as a high priority, was planned to coincide with the 150 th anniversary of
united Italy to empathize the commitment, the involvement and the
determination with which the Italian shipbuilding sector has pursued the high
levels of worldwide regard that it enjoys today.
