Designed by Philippe Briand and built entirely at the Perini Navi Group’s Picchiotti shipyard in La Spezia, the new 38 meters Dahlak was launched Saturday, March 5, despite a strong gale from S swept the Gulf of La Spezia.
The 51.40m carbon fibre mast is combined with a 14m furling boom and composite standing rigging for a sail plan surface area that exceeds 1,870 sqm. The new sloop takes her name from the Red Sea archipelago where her owner sailed as a boy.
Designed for fast and easy sailing, the yacht is constructed entirely of Sealium aluminium alloy and boasts several technical innovations that illustrate Perini Navi’s commitment to providing owners with the latest technology that enhances performance, sail handling and onboard comfort, including electric captive winches engineered in-house and a Lithium polymer battery system for silent running.
