The Perini Navi Group has delivered the company’s 60th yacht at the Picchiotti yard in La Spezia, Italy. Launched in March 2016, this aluminium sloop is the second in the Perini Navi series of 38m performance sailing yachts, designed in collaboration with naval architect Phillippe Briand.
It’s a profoundly emotional moment for me. This is something I have envisioned for a lifetime
said the owner on the occasion of the handover
The Perini Navi team listened and understood my requirements. I’m an owner who wants to sail the boat himself. I also don't want to have the engines running while sailing, or during the night. At Perini Navi, I found a very positive environment where I could express my vision, this is reflected in the finished yacht. Together with the team, we achieved this - these are true evolutions in sailing

S/Y Dahlak exemplifies Perini Navi’s commitment to innovation and build excellence. World renowned for pure sailing freedom, the shipyard’s proprietary sail handling system enables the owner to sail the yacht singlehanded with ease. The state of the art electric captive winches, controlled by one joystick, ensure efficient and controlled manoeuvres. While Lithium polymer battery system enables the vessel to be operated purely under battery power, including while sailing, without the need of a generator.
Designed by in-house interior architects, Dahlak has a luminous, contemporary interior with the finest materials and attention to detail.
Enrico Dell’Artino, CEO of Perini Navi, said:
This is an excellent example of how Perini Navi evolves with our clients. Building on our inhouse expertise, our team has delivered the most innovative sail handling and stored power systems to date
