PERINI 38 METERS SLOOP: FOCUS ON PERFORMANCE

Super Yachts Review nº 036

Thought to take care of a new type of demand, the new Perini has been developed jointly by Philippe Briand and the design team from Perini Navi, whose aim is to repeat with that range the success of their wellknown steel ketches.

The election of Philippe Briand as the architect of the sloop aimed for performance that we present here opens a new era in the history of Perini Navi. Until now, although it is sure that some units of the blue ships that Perini has in Viareggio had left influenced in their design by Ron Holland or Ed Dubois; their boats have always had the unmistakable mark of the house, with the shapes and the parameters created by the cabinet of Perini. On the other hand, this new model offers, its own More...

SUNSEEKER PREDATOR 62

Super Yachts Review nº 034

The Predator 62 is Sunseeker’s most compact model and it fits perfectly in the sedan typology. On a very sporty aesthetic, the yacht has a closed superstructure that allows locating the saloon on the main deck, with a perfect relation with the cockpit and the opening roof.

The Predator 62 is the second smaller model of this range, just over the Predator 55, and the first one of the make in its size that offers the sedan typology and not only the hard ceiling on a part of the main deck. Upon this difference lies one of the basic characteristics of this model. Therefore the owner of this 62 has a large living space on the main deck, with great views to the sea, but it also has a living area on the lower deck, being able to use both as a dining room, without More...

SANLORENZO: FOUNDATIONAL MODEL

Super Yachts Review nº 032

The Sanlorenzo 82 is a reference model for this Italian make. It was the first one offering the new design style that, in a very short time, has renewed all the range of this historical Italian shipyard.

Sanlorenzo is one of the benchmarks for large yachts in the international arena, thanks to the respect and consideration shown to the yachting heritage that they have given to their models and also thanks to a craftsmanship made with great care, all being translated into an excellent result. The shipyard is about to celebrate its fifty anniversary, as Giovanni Iannetti founded it in Viareggio in 1.958, directly dedicated to the construction of leisure boats. At that time the material used was More...

HAMILTON II: A YACHT FOR A PRINCE

Super Yachts Review nº 031

We present the original project for this high performance yacht, originally built for the uncle of Prince Karim Aga Khan, and subsequently adapted for a new owner. For both the CNB shipyard and Philippe Briand, her designer, the Hamilton II has been a ground breaking project.This is not just a question of the way she was built, using resin infusion laid over carbon fibre, a system with which the Bordeaux shipyard already has a great deal of experience. Neither is there any particular secret More...
