Projects: Sarnico 43 Spider Perla, Sarnico 60 Gran Turismo

To round off the success of the Spider, Cantieri di Sarnico presents a new “PERLA” version at the Genova Boat Show characterised by a provocative livery and exotic furnishings. The model is complete with an unprecedented white body but as with true pearls, the value is not merely measured by how bright they are, but by the shape, the lustre and the many translucent layers. In order to highlight the sporting nature of the boat, it's sides are complete with a dark brown line realised with a very special painting. The same dark and brilliant tones are used for the upholstery on deck and illustrate the exclusivity of the boat and the modernity of its styling. The light and the colours give the boat its lines as much as the fiberglass structure does, adding great value to the shape designed by Nuvolari and Lenard. In addition, the colour of the accessories, furniture and bridge are painted in order to give a chromatic contrast. The cockpit deck of the "Perla" is realised with large and impressive teak strips separated with white lines. The layout of the lower deck is the same as the original version but uses carefully selected bamboo in order to distinguish it from the standard version. Other stylistic changes include polished ebony wood in the kitchen, leather floor and white polished overhead lockers. The hull is conceived by Victory Design considering all their racing experience making the boat agile and extremely light to optimize its trim without any need for corrections by the pilot. With twin Volvo Penta D6 Turbosiesel Common Rail 435 hp engines, the maximum speed is nearly 40 Knots and because of the new Joystick system the Spider is very easy to moor regardless of the conditions. The Genoa Boat Show will also see the arrival of an upgraded Sarnico 60 “Gran Turismo” dedicated to those clients who want to use a boat in all seasons. The new model is closed at the rear of the cockpit with a central glass overlapping door, which can be fixed in the open position to allow access to the main deck. Closing the rear of the boat allows for the cockpit to be heated or cooled according to the external temperature and the requirements of the owner. The living area has been decked out in bleached oak with a leather floor and the dark brown pilot chairs up front catch the eye as does the bronze underside of the hard top. The ample table, long sofas and the 40'' LCD TV and Bose stereo system were created so the space could be used to look after guests in the finest surroundings which is principally what led to the changes to the internal layout. The below deck has been dedicated to an ample kitchen, in order that the owner can cater for a large numbers of guests and the galley top means guests can enjoy the experience altogether. The kitchen is equipped with a 244 l fridge, a 101 l freezer and there is a wine cellar in order to keep precious bottles safely. In addition there is four burner electric hob, a large oven and a double sink which would not be out of place at home. The sleeping arrangements include the owners cabin which is centrally positioned and a completely separate guest cabin at the rear and the sleeping quarters for the staff which complete the cabins aboard the vessel. The style and class of the furniture and finishing are clear examples of the workmanship of skilled artisans and an indelible imprint of their care and attention to detail. The care and craftsmanship is present in every aspect of the boat, from all its hidden parts to every detail and component. Propelled by twin turbo diesel Man common rail engines of 1100 HP, the Sarnico 60 can reach maximum speeds of 39 knots and achieve high cruising speeds even in the choppiest of waters. This is thanks to its extraordinary adaptable hull and the central positioning of the engines which grant great stability to the boat. This new version breaths life into the Sarnico 60 as a grand cruiser of the seas, able to match the performance of the original in perfect comfort.
