The Italian Sea Group announces the launching of the sailing yacht Katana, the fourth in Perini Navi’s 60 m ketch series.
The launch, which took place at the Marina di Carrara shipyard, marks an important milestone for this ambitious project, which combines technology, performance and luxury without compromise. Developed in collaboration with naval architect Ron Holland, Katana was designed to offer a unique sailing experience, where safety, comfort and performance are the absolute protagonists.
The yacht, with an aluminium hull and superstructure and a displacement of approximately 570 tonnes, is fitted with carbon fibre masts, booms and rigging, a choice that contributes to maximum lightness and strength. One of the main innovations of this yacht is the redesigned sail system, which improves ease of handling and optimises performance at sea.
Moreover, thanks to a state-of-the-art dynamic positioning system, the yacht is able to autonomously maintain its position and direction without the use of an anchor, offering even safer and more comfortable sailing. The interiors, designed by renowned French designer Remi Tessier, are a mix of modernity and tradition, conceived to meet the luxury and comfort needs of the most demanding owners. The spacious suites, including the owner’s area and the five guest cabins, are characterised by discreet elegance, where every detail has been designed to ensure maximum comfort.
‘The launch of this extraordinary 60-metre is an achievement that fills us with pride and attests to the solidity and continued growth of the Group’s brands. Perini Navi will continue to distinguish itself for its unmistakable style and ability to innovate without renouncing tradition ’ – Giovanni Costantino, Founder & CEO of The Italian Sea Group – “Katana reflects our commitment to excellence and perfection, and demonstrates the strength and vision of a brand that not only looks to the future, but builds it with passion and determination”.
Katana will be delivered in early 2025.
