Built in 1991 by Perini Navi, this extraordinary sailing yacht is a successful synthesis between elegance, power and luxury. Her original owner subsequently sold it to a family who kept it lovingly for many years, until they commissioned a much bigger one. Made in steel and aluminium, she can comfortably accommodate up to a maximum of 10 people and, powered by two Caterpillar engines of 402 hp each, this sailboat is capable of rivalling even much more recent and sophisticated ones.
Refitted in 2011 when this iconic yacht was restored to her former glory, following her arrival at Palumbo SY Refit Savona the vessel was moved to an undercover shed using a specific shore-moving system capable of transferring yachts on the hard. At that stage, preparations for the paint work to hull and masts begun. The objective of the exercise was to reinvigorate that ‘well-groomed yacht’ appearance to a vessel that has seen some extensive cruising since her initial launch 29 years ago, combined with a number of ordinary maintenance jobs. So, the shipyard team went ahead un-stepping the main and mizzen masts and totally dismantling them in order to paint also all accessories before reassembling and stepping them back. Carpentry works were carried out to the hull before proceeding with its complete painting, as well as ordinary maintenance and repair were performed to variable-pitch propellers.
And now that she’s regained that ‘new yacht’ finish, her guests may treat themselves to moments of true disconnection taking to sea in full sail to discover the charm of our seaside destinations!
