The Italian Sea Group presents new line of Perini Navi yachts

The Italian Sea Group (TISG) has announced a new line of three Perini Navi sailing yachts measuring from 48 metres to 77 metres (157 feet to 252 feet).

Named Genesis, the fleet will include a 48m (157ft) model available in both ‘regatta’ and ‘cruise’ editions, a 56m (183ft) ketch designed by Malcolm McKeon and a 77m (252ft) falcon-rigged superyacht.

Smooth handling and generous interior volumes are key elements of the Genesis line, with new elements including a blue leather handrail that will become a signature detail on the future Perini Navi fleet. In terms of design, the series will take all of the ‘iconic’ elements of Perini Navi yachts and redesign them in a modern way.

Across all the Genesis fleet, the stern has been envisioned as a key al fresco relaxation zone complete with seating and waterfront access.

On the 77m (252ft) Perini Navi Genesis, the yacht's stern will be equipped with a full-size spa-beach club with unfolding terraces and renderings indicate the superyacht will also have a forward firepit. An electro-hydraulic mast-sail management system will ensure easy and straightforward handling.

The 48m (157ft) is the entry-level addition to the line, and comes in two different versions to suit buyers looking for regatta racing as well as leisurely cruising.

A spokesperson for The Italian Sea Group said, “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 model will also feature new hull lines to offer limited heeling angles while sailing, double rudders and swing centreboard to minimise draft and facilitate access to remote ports and bays. Solar panels can also be included as an option on this model.

Perini Navi has had historic success with the 56m (183ft) range, with seven yachts on the water. Malcolm McKeon has been tasked with reimagining the design with a strong orientation to sailing performance. The design will include a full carbon sail plan and Perini Navi's sail handling system.
