Having purchased the incomplete hull of the 42 E-volution GTS, a 42-meter sailing yacht from Perini Navi (second unit of the E-volution series) represents a challenging feature for TY since this vessel is built to deliver great sailing performance while maintaining a high level of stability and comfort at the same time, with a 2.204 sqm sail area.
Key features include an aluminum hull, a lifting keel, and an exterior design characterized by dynamic and clean lines and featuring a superstructure, deckhouse, and other fit-out items made from carbon fiber. Together with the Reichel/Pugh Yacht Design firm, already involved in naval architecture since the beginning of the project, and in collaboration with Southern Spars New Zealand, we made some changes to the sailing system to prioritize its ease of use.
The vessel is sloop-rigged with a Panamax carbon mast (62.5 m) and a carbon boom with an in-boom furling system for the main sail. The carbon mast is equipped with carbon standing rigging. The sails are handled by systems based on PLC technology. Sheets and halyards are controlled by three Harken custom captive reel winches and three Bamar furlers. The vessel's interior design is characterized by a contemporary styling, created by GCA Architects of Barcelona. The vessel accommodates a total of eight guests in four staterooms with en-suite bathroom: a full-beam owner’s suite, one VIP cabin, two twin cabins. The crew quarters accommodate seven staff in four cabins. Guest interior common areas include a main deck salon with two sofas and 360-degree surround views thanks to the ample windows and skylights installed on its superstructure.
