2006 Perini Navi Boat For Sale

The price is probably so low because it doesn't have a BBQ on the stern.

It's a friggin' floating city.

The Millennium Falcon has less draft. Better lines . . . kind of a hamburger shape with an olive on the side.

Pretty strong resemblence to that new boat Giu just designed don't you think.

It doesn't even sail that much faster than Giulietta...

Cruising Speed: 16 Knots
Max Speed: 19.5 Knots

I'd pull the trigger if she was a double-ender. I've been searching high and low for a 250'+ sailing vessel with a canoe stern. Darn.

I'm surprised he's selling that boat. It was supposed to be the culmination of all of his dreams and desires and he didn't think he'd ever build another one. Has anyone else read Mine's Bigger?

I've heard that it doesn't sail all that well at all. Forget where I heard that though.

What is up with that painting in the guest cabin??!??? Wierd. Maybe if he takes that thing down he would get some traffic (smile).
