ELLEN - PERINI NAVI FOR SALE

Ellen, the final 40-metre Perini Navi of her class and the sole example configured with a four-guest-stateroom layout, has been meticulously cared for and elevated through major upgrades. In 2015 she underwent a comprehensive refit that introduced a new wardrobe of sails and fresh paint on the masts, superstructure, hull and bottom. At the same time, the bottom and internal tanks were sandblasted back to bare metal and fully recoated, and new teak decks were laid. All primary systems were renewed or thoroughly serviced, spanning hydraulics, winches, HVAC, refrigeration, navigation and communications, and A/V. The starboard gearbox received a complete overhaul—bearings, seals, oil and filters—while the port side was given regular scheduled service. The air-conditioning plant was replaced, charts and radios were inspected and updated, and all safety equipment was verified. A tasteful cosmetic refresh followed in 2020, keeping this Perini Navi sailing superyacht—an ocean-going luxury yacht, bluewater cruiser and charter-ready performance sailing yacht—presenting at an exceptional standard.
