design et al is pleased to announce that The Italian Sea Group has been shortlisted for the International Yacht & Aviation Award 2015, with sailing yacht Gigreca. The 24-metre superyacht Gigreca will compete in the ‘Sailing Yacht up to 30 Metres’ and the ‘Interior Design Award – Sailing Yacht‘ categories.
The deck saloon luxury yacht Gigreca features a composite hull and deck. As a unique and highly bespoke sailing yacht, she boasts a double engine configuration which guarantees fast and safe passages, without compromising the performance under sail.
The Silent 76 yacht Gigreca creates a new breed into the blue-water cruising yachts; she is clearly a fast cruiser, offering a high level of customisation both inside and outside, all cloaked into a proven hull.
‘Gigreca’ yacht is characterised by a full custom hard top, made of aluminum and glass, delivering a shadowed and protected area to the cockpit. Furthermore she boasts a dark metallic grey hull with dark red waterline stripes; the superstructure is painted in beige, while the hard top, aft rollbar and spars follow the same colour scheme of the hull. The big size hull windows, directly bonded into the hull, offer a fantastic seascape view, both at anchor and under sail and flooding the yacht interior with natural light.
Below deck the Gigreca superyacht is incredibly spacious, offering guests areas usually typical of much bigger yachts, thanks to the substantial volumes offered by the hull. The same thing applies to the cockpit, where the sensation is to be on a 90 footer, although while steering the yacht really feels very easy to sail, both under engines and under sail.
The interior is full customised by Gigreca yacht’s Owner. She offers four large cabins of which one master, one VIP, one double berth and one double bunk cabin, each served by en-suite with separate shower. This delivers unrivalled privacy to both owner and guests.
