Perini Navi 47 M 1991

The Perini Navi 47 M Ketch 1991 Refitted 2025 steel and aluminium undergone various refits over her 30-year lifetime. But none like the one nearing completion at the Lusben shipyard in Livorno.

More rebuilt than refit, the extensive upgrades are designed to honour her classic heritage. While ensuring she remains relevant in today’s yachting market.

Unlike a restoration project aimed at total preservation, the approach with the Perini Navi Ketch Belle Brise was to upgrade and modernise the yacht without compromising her timeless character.

In fact, the hull, superstructure and interior remain largely intact, but onboard systems:

Propulsion, electrical, plumbing

– Were mostly replaced to meet today’s environmental and regulatory standards.                                                                                                                                                                                  — Moreover, to achieve Restricted Commercial status, both ABS and Malta Flag required significant upgrades to
