The 60m Seahawk yacht is an important innovation both in project lines and in onboard technology that guarantees speed, performance comfort and abundant space. Her sleek hull lines and hull and superstructure in aluminium allow for a gross tonnage of less than 500 GT and an optimised displacement of 570 tons. This ketch, designed by Perini Navi naval architects in collaboration with New Zealander Ron Holland, has a total sail plan of 2.125 square meters mounted on main and mizzen masts that are 62 and 52m high respectively. Her boom, spreaders, headsail stay foils, diagonals and standing rigging are all in carbon fibre. A new generation of headsail furlers, designed and created by the Perini Navi Mast Department, have been mounted flush to the deck. The winches also are new generation for greater power and faster manoeuvring speed. Her interiors have been designed by the French designer Christian Liaigre who has created a refined and contemporary ambience with strong marine accents aboard Seahawk.
