About seahawk

Seahawk is the first of the new generation of Perini Navi’s 60m sailing yachts. New innovative hull lines and technological solutions increase speed and performance under sail along with better thought out and more comfortable interior volumes that make Seahawk truly unique. Her hull and superstructure were constructed at the Perini Navi facility in Istanbul, Turkey, after which she was towed to Viareggio for outfitting and completion.

Seahawk has a sleek hull and superstructure in aluminium with a gross tonnage of under 500 GT and a displacement of 570 tons. The variable keel length allows for a draught that goes from 4.30 to 12.30m. The ketch, designed by the naval architects at Perini Navi in collaboration with New Zealander Ron Holland, has a total sail plan area of 2.125 m2 featuring two aluminium masts of 62 and 52m.

The booms and spreaders are in carbon fibre as are the foils, head-stays and diagonals. For the first time on a Perini Navi ketch, Future fibres supplied carbon fibre has also been used for the standing rigging. On the foredeck a new generation of fully recessed furlers for the headsails has been installed together with new captive winches that increase manoeuvrability.
