FELICITA WEST is the largest and fastest aluminum sailing yacht in the world. Everything about this magnificent yacht has been designed to provide the ultimate sailing experience in the greatest possible comfort. Her pedigree is highly impressive her statistics are simply awesome. As a Perini Navi ketch she has all of the typical space, pace and grace. However in a radical departure, outside expertise was brought in to push the boundaries of performance. Added to the owner's considerable experience, the legendary Ron Holland was appointed as the Naval Architect and Italian designers Nuvolari and Lenard worked with Perini Navi's own stylists on the interior. A dream team for a luxury sailing yacht.
The specifications are as astonishing as they are effective. At 64 meters (210') the long waterline produces dynamic hull speed. At the same time, the ultra wide beam of 12.7 meters (42') brings large internal volume and side decks where two people can walk side by side. (A feat few motor yachts can achieve) She was the first 500 tonne aluminum sailing yacht to be MCA certified.
Sailing FELICITA WEST is an amazing experience. 1,800 square meters of canvas automatically unfurl to propel her 650 tonnes. 500 sensors transmit data to the highly sophisticated software systems. 22 joysticks at both flybridge and internal helm stations allow the sails to be trimmed to perfection. The power is staggering as oceans of sail curve and capture the wind. 17 knots is readily achievable but equally impressive is that only the gentlest of heeling actions is required to turn a full circle.
Après-sail, relax on any of the three levels. The flybridge is so large that all twelve guests can sit, eat and talk in the sun or shade, surrounded by gleaming mast machinery. For sport, imagine big game fishing from two fighting chairs. A large swimming platform descends from the main deck with easy access into the water or onto the jet tenders. The most spectacular views are from the bow seat or a crow's nest ‘lift' that ascends 40 meters (131 ft) up the 60 meters main mast. Dining can take place in the shaded, sunken aft cockpit, where the crew magically transforms the scene from informal breakfast through buffet lunch to a sumptuous dinner.
