During a press conference at the Monaco Yacht Show 2019, Italian yacht manufacturer Perini Navi presented the new Falcon Rig Gallery, with seven yachts in build and an order book worth EUR 160 million.
Perini Navi’s order book is currently worth EUR 160 million, with three letters of intent also signed recently for a 92m sailing yacht, a 47m E-volution sailing yacht and a 74m motoryacht. The yard also has a total of seven yachts under construction: two motoryachts (53m and 56m) and five sailing yachts (three 42m, one 47m and one 60m). In addition to that, Perini Navi delivered the 25-metre Eco-tender in August this year.
In 2019 Perini Navi intends to boost its coverage of the international markets by opening operational bases in Hong Kong and Monte Carlo. Perini Navi Majority Shareholder Edoardo Tabacchi declared, “Perini Navi has always pushed the boundaries of technological research, and today is presenting the market with a series of innovative products that are absolutely unique in the sailing sphere. We have the largest output of 40m-plus sailing yachts in the world, and have also just delivered the extraordinary Eco-tender, our research laboratory for sustainable innovation.”
Perini Navi is also presenting its new ‘Falcon Rig Gallery’ at the Monaco Yacht Show. This is an entire product range spanning 56m to 92m models, and inspired by the iconic Maltese Falcon, the 88m clipper with which Perini Navi revolutionised the sailing world in 2006.
The aerodynamic efficiency of the Falcon Rig sail plan has been optimised to guarantee superior performance. Automation, which has always been the jewel in the Perini Navi fleet’s crown, has been further extended with new generation winches, resulting in even simpler operation and easier handling.
Contemporary lines, generous volumes and new superstructures with an unmistakeable Perini Navi aesthetic characterise the entire range. The aft areas on all the craft offer hugely comfortable spaces which open onto a large beach area. The cockpit and saloon are on the same level and flow into one another to create a single open plan area, guaranteeing superb liveability both interior and exterior.
The Falcon Rig range spans the following models:
• 56m
• 64m
• 72m
• 80m
• 92m
The 92m model, for which a letter of intent has been signed, has carbon-fibre masts, a 2,400 sqm sail area and an innovative arrangement concept dominated by a master suite which takes up the entire upper deck. Extensive use has also been made of glass, including for the main staircase which links all four decks, yielding exceptionally bright interiors.
