Following the 88 M charter yacht Maltese Falcon, State of Grace superyacht is the second Perini Navi yacht to have been constructed entirely at the Group’s Istanbul shipyard.
Hull C.2180 S/Y State of Grace, designed in-house by Perini Navi naval architects in collaboration with New Zealander Ron Holland, has sleek lines and both hull and superstructure in aluminium.
With just 220 tons displacement, State of Grace yacht is sure to perform brilliantly in all sailing conditions. To performance add the comfort, quality and safety features that have always been a distinctive feature of Perini Navi yachts.
The 1,192 sq mt 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 luxury yacht State of Grace has a 50 M 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 State of Grace yacht interior spaces are spare and classic 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, have innovative layouts and 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 5.5 M tender is stored in a semi-recessed well to keep the State of Grace yacht’s lines harmonious and sleek. The interior design and layout are the work of Perini Navi interior designers.
