At the moment in build at Perini Navi in Italy, the all-new 60-metre sailing yacht Hull C.2193 will feature a complete set of composite rigging back, developed by Future Fibres. In 2012, the company won the contract to supply the Perini Navi superyacht Hull C.2193 with the TSC and solid carbon rigging, which comprises V1s built to Dash -750. Last week saw Future Fibres ship almost a kilometre of bright red carbon cables to the Italian builder.

From the project’s inception, installing latest technological advances was high on the owner’s list of priorities. As a result, in addition to the most advanced carbon rigging on the market, Perini Navi luxury yacht C.2193 will feature a number of new technical innovations, including an advanced lifting keel, faster and lighter captive winches and a new furling system for foresails, positioned under the deck to maximise sail area. The flawless bright red finish, seen on the solid carbon lateral cables, was also at the owner’s request – ensuring that she will look even more imposing on the water!
Moreno Di Giusto, Head of Perini Navi Mast Division spoke of his decision to chose Future Fibres last year, commenting: “With Future Fibres, we’re confident we have the right people designing and building our rigs. Between the two companies there is a massive skill-set, and we believe that together we can make big advancements.”

Future Fibres’ founder, Tom Hutchinson, added: “It is great to see the largest set of carbon rigging cables we have ever constructed going out the door, especially when its destined for one of the most respect yards in the world. Perini have built their reputation on quality and reliability so to be chosen by them is testament to the investment and quality standards already in place at Future Fibres. It marks another milestone in our history and represents a real achievement for us.”
Perini Navi mega yacht C.2193 is the first of two Perini projects that Future Fibres is currently working on. The second, a 60 metre sloop, Hull C.2218 yacht, will feature a full carbon mast and rigging package and is scheduled for delivery in winter 2013. It’s an incredible project, with a mast tube measuring 73.5 metres and a totally clear carbon finish, made possible by Future Fibres’ precision aluminium tooling, which is unique within the marine industry.
