A new project from Pershing is always great news and the Adriatic sea builder now showcases a new 62, which is to be presented live in September at the Cannes boat show. As is a trade mark for Pershing since its inception in the mid eighties this model is again a creation of Italian designer Fulvio de Simoni, with Ferretti Group technical departments taking care of the engineering details. The Pershing 62 is an evolution of the 56 and 58 models, sold up till today in over seventy units, and features the same beam of 4.80 meters which suggest the hull should be the same for the most part, with an extra length of three feet. Still the design of the super structure is entirely new with larger profile windows, and another important difference you get from a 58 to a 62 is also the full enclosed but possible to open all main deck arrangement. An interesting feat here is the single glass which slides down behind the L-shaped sofa which overlooks the aft deck. Inside the Pershing 62 is offered in two layouts; a three or a two cabins option. In the two cabins Master and VIP, the third cabin is replaced with a saloon which also has an option of having a convertible double berth. So far no plans are available as it would be interesting how the layout is different to a 58. A single berth crew cabin is featured in both the plans. Power is twin MTU 1381 or optional 1523hp engines with ZF surface drives. Top speed is 46 knots max with the large choice, three nautical miles per hour less with the smaller standard engines. Pershing always offers smaller engine options but each time I am looking in brokerage web sites you hardly find a single unit with smaller power, so I don't know why they bother.
