The Perini Navi Group has got 2013 off to a good start with the launching of 40m State of Grace, the first yacht in their new 40m fast cruising series, at the Perini Navi Istanbul/Yildiz shipyard. She follows 88m Maltese Falcon as the second Perini Navi yacht to have been constructed entirely at the Group’s Istanbul shipyard.

S/Y State of Grace, designed in-house by Perini Navi's naval architects in collaboration with New Zealander Ron Holland, has sleek lines and both hull and superstructure in aluminium. With just 220 tons displacement, performance is a main focus of the design, together with the comfort, quality and safety that are a integral part of all Perini builds.


State of Grace
has a 50m mast, furling boom and standing rigging all made with state of the art in carbon fibre materials. To guarantee performance, this fast cruiser  has laminated sails.The 1,192 sqm sail plan can be handled by just one person thanks to an innovative sail control system designed by Perini Navi and built by their Mast Division.

The interior design and layout are the work of Perini Navi's interior designers who created a classic interior, enriched with touches of contemporary flare. The main saloon is on two levels and has a comfortable dining room and an ample living area. The yacht’s four cabins, including a full beam owner’s suite with a gym, can accommodate up to nine guests comfortably. In the transom area, which can be reached along an elegant staircase, a hydraulically controlled platform gives direct access to the sea and a 5.5m tender is stored in a semi-recessed well to keep the yacht’s lines harmonious and sleek.

Work at the Perini Navi Istanbul-Yildiz shipyard continues on the first yacht in the 70m
series, scheduled for 2015, and the third yacht in the 60m series, which could be ready in the next two years.

Following on from State of Grace, 2013 will see the Perini Navi Group also launch the first yacht in their 60m series as well as the 73m motor yacht from the Picchiotti Vitruvius®  series.
