The Italian Sea Group has just unveiled the new Perini Navi fleet, named “Genesis, one year after the Brand acquisition. It includes three sailing yacht models in the sizes of: 48, 56, and 77 meters.
The Project
The project stems from the ambition to create a line of sailing yachts with the characteristic of Perini Navi interpreted in a modern and exclusive way: large spaces, brightness, easy-sailing, and comfort.
The external lines of the “Genesis” fleet reflect two essential assumptions: the desire to reinterpret in a contemporary way the signature features of the “Perini Navi Style”, renowned for their elegance, and at the same time the intention to express a timeless and contemporary design projected into the future.
Features of the design
Clean lines blend harmoniously with elongated, continuous curvilinear shapes; glass surfaces expand to diffuse natural light into the interior. The stern opens up to the sea, becoming a true leisure area with the exterior decks defined by an organic, supple layout.
By analogy, the main interior spaces also tend to be large and fluid; the multiple uses dialogue with each other in a direct but discreet way, maintaining the necessary functionality together with an open and dynamic spatiality.
A blue leather handrail, like a fil bleu, defines and becomes a new leitmotif of the future Perini Navi world.
The “Genesis” Fleet
The new 48-meter will be offered in two versions: regatta and cruise.
The new generation hull lines will allow comfortable sailing while the open stern, equipped with a transformer, will facilitate access to the sea offering great comfort particularly at anchorage.
The sail system handling system will continue to be concentrated in the two command consoles, with a series of joysticks that facilitate single-man control without the need for dedicated crew. The superstructure, which has been restyled, will keep Perini Navi’s distinctive stylistic cues: side epaulette, a double round glass stripe providing great light and an enclosed aft cockpit to offer more privacy.
The new 48-meter sailing yacht will have new hull lines to offer limited heeling angles while sailing, double rudders and swing centreboard to minimize draft and facilitate access to remote ports and bays.
In the interest of sustainability, it will also be possible to install solar panels.
Features ot the 56-meters and 77-meters
The 56-meter will be redesigned through the collaboration with Malcom McKeon Yacht Design, which, with a strong orientation to sailing performance, will develop the naval platform and sail plan, as well as contribute to the styling of the exterior.
The new sail plan, full in carbon, will ensure comfort and sailing performance through the use of Perini Navi’s “sail handling system”.
The 77-meter will be the first platform on which to install the legendary FALCON RIG.
The sailing yacht will have two masts that will give great advantages in terms of navigation and safety. With the electro-hydraulic mast-sail management system, sailing will be extremely easy. The new sailing yacht will be the first platform to have a full-size spa-beach club with folding terraces that are connected with the aft beach.
