Sailing yacht BARACUDA VALLETTA is a 50-meter aluminum ketch, features many important project innovations. Her retracting keel passes from 4 meters to 9.7 meters and the transom door can be almost entirely opened up and transformed into a large swimming platform. Boasting a Ron Holland design, the 50-meter sailing yacht is already known for her excellent sailing performance. This Perini Navi built mega yacht also makes a strong visual impact on several fronts, primarily by the color of the hull which is metallic gray with shades of gold, the unusual rectangular windows, and the sails which come in flaming purple.
Interiors of the superyacht BARACUDA VALLETTA are based on extreme simplicity and clear lines. Conceived British architect John Pawson, the guru of modern minimalism, interior design is based on the concepts of light, space, and proportion. Indeed, the yacht’s volume and use of space amaze Perini Navi yacht charter enthusiasts.
Upon entering the main saloon, it is clear than Pawson has achieved his goal of stunning yet subtle effects. The main deck is an open living space. It has a central staircase and no partitions. The design aim is for a much clearer and unencumbered vision. Subsequently the case on sailboats as opposed to motor yachts. The walls and bulkheads are of white lacquer and parchment. Specifically, the latter chose not only for the subtle beauty of its color and texture. In addition, for the way it serves to soften or “dematerialize” the central stair volume. Pawson’s architectural background is evident in the spatial fluidity that links the wheelhouse, the main saloon, and the aft cockpit.
Her aluminum hull has aggressive, aerodynamic lines. They are an unconventional color. In specific, metallic gray with shades of gold. In addition, this combines with the silvery reflections of the superstructure. This contemporary appeal echoes in the portholes. Specifically, in an unusual rectangular shape.
The two aluminum masts are shades of silver. The main mast is 56.7 meters or 186 feet. Her mizzen mast is 42.9 meters or 140 feet. In addition, the carbon fiber boom. All 3 designs built by Perini Navi’s Mast Division team. The 1,416m² (15,241 square foot) sail area is a flaming purple. Further, a chromatic effect with a strong visual impact.
